Cabbage was sweet which was different it was good but I prefer non sweet cabbage. Mac and cheese was runny but good. Catfish was okay a little soggy definitely could have been fried hard and the tartar sauce taste like nothing but pickles. Was my first time trying not sure if I'll try it again but everything was okay.

Lovely place with an older diner vibe. Pancakes are absolutely amazing as well as the coffee. And it is great for people with night schedules because they serve breakfast lunch and dinner all day. Love it here!

We have been coming to Cafe 290 since we moved to the area in Feb of 2025. Every time we are greeted instantly by the warm welcoming staff. Our favorite server is Leila. She is very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always makes sure out toddler is having as good of a time as we are.

The food is always fresh and made to perfection!

Thank you Cafe 290 for being a great spot to give us a night away from our own kitchen.
