So much missed potential. The service is horrible and the food is dry and unseasoned. The location is beautiful but a need to improve quality overall . I want to see businesses thrive in Fries but I believe that with that it’s important to look at reviews and make needed changes .
One positive I will note is that after Helene with the town was without power and closed off to access to Galax one gentleman open the cafe and cooked with a flashlight over the gas grill .

A good place to eat when you're in Fries. It's right near the river and the dam, very scenic. The food was good and so was the service.

I was hesitant to try the Windy City Cafe after reading some of the reviews but so glad I did. Fries has become my wife and my favorite vacation spot. Tonight we decided to try the cafe and happy we did. The service, the food and the atmosphere were spot on. We will definitely be back!

Down home country cooking with a view of the New River. Cute decor and friendly service, prices good for the portions.
Vegetarian options: You can get a veggie plate, but most of it is fried.

As a level 8 guide I have reviewed lots of places. I very seldom leave a bad review. But this place was one of worst experience I have had in a long time. The service was so bad we decided to do take out order. The place was empty, maybe a reason for that. My burger was inedible. It was soggy and did not taste like any kind of meat. I think it was boiled and sat around all day. I threw it away. Most of the staff did not seem to care about anything. It's a shame, it ruined our night.
One room has a nice view of the New River. We were surprised how extensive the menu was. Of course I had to get fries in Fries. Yes the fries were very good. Fast service and a friendly waitress. Good prices.

Worst food I have ever had. My wife had a turkey sub. It hàd onel piece of carl budding meat on it. When I told the waitress she stated the owner said subs only get one piece of meat. I ordered the catfish plate. I really do not kown what it was

I purchased a hamburger steak plate, but the hamburger steak was very dry. There wasn't anything topping the patty, such as onions, and little seasoning. The mashed potatoes were instant and tasted bland. The fried green beans are battered, deep fried green beans, not the stir fried type.
