Great place to stop for breakfast. Hashbrowns are homemade, and the bacon was perfect.

The food was great as well as the service even though there was only one waitress. I would highly recommend getting the pecan spins!

We had Borgen's cater our son's wedding. We had their BBQ theme meal and the food was incredible. Heard many guests say it was the best food at any wedding they attended.

Small town Cafe. It's nice to see it decorated with the town's heritage. Lots of food for your money. Homemade cookies were delish! Great staff.

They were short-handed on this day. Our waitress was new, so she was a bit behind the eight ball. The food was good, though. I had roast beef and potatoes, and my husband had a burger. The atmosphere was just chaotic because they were so busy and not enough help.

This cafe is "so Midwest" as I told a colleague. I loved every bit of eating here, they were quite quick (despite busy-ness of a Friday lunch), the food was good, but their pastries and desserts were wonderful! I got a chocolate chip cappuccino muffin to go because my colleague had one with his meal, and I had to try it. I was NOT disappointed. Next time I'm getting a slice of pie and it feels like a rookie mistake that I didn't get one!

Nice little restaurant. Food was good. Staff was friendly.
The only reason this restaurant is getting two stars is because the food was decent. The waitress we had was by far one of the worst experiences we’ve ever had. She didn’t ask if we wanted anything to drink with our meals, she didn’t bring us silverware, and she forgot part of both of our meals. The fryers were down when we went, which isn’t their fault, but the waitress was completely unwilling to allow us to substitute anything for French fries other than mashed potatoes or a baked potato. But the table across the room was able to substitute American fries, hash browns, or a baked/mashed potato. The service with this particular waitress was so bad that another table of people walked out before even getting their food. I wish we didn’t spend our money here, and we would have gone somewhere we knew we could have gotten at least decent service.

What's not to like? Delicious food, most of staff were kind and friendly and lots of scrumptious baked goods. Only improvement would be the sometimes uncomfortable seating. Just needs some updating.

Stopped for breakfast this morning. Ordered from the menu a few items from the Breakfast Specialities portion. Under the title of this section of the menu the following is stated: "Substitute pancakes for $2 instead of the muffin/toast."To us, this signifies the muffin or toast come with the items we ordered so the pancake side my husband added to his order should have been $2 and my muffin side (which was burnt to a crisp and unedible by me) should have been no charge. Because I was under the impression it was a no charge side option, I didn't complain about the quality.Buyers beware: This is not the case. Apparently, there are only 2 items under the Breakfast Specialties (not clearly labeled) that this applies to! When I asked the server about this. He showed me the two items. When I further explained that this is completly confusing (a bait and switch) he didn't care. I told him my muffin was burnt and unedible, he took off the $1.29 for that, but not the $4.99 that we were charged for the pancake side that is advertised as $2. He didn't care that their menu stated otherwise like all other menus at other establishments. When he was displeased with my tip, he didn't even say thank you when taking my receipt and walked away without a word.We will not return and will not recommend this establishment. I'd leave a zero star review if it were possible. We alerted the owner of the establishment and received a generic, unconcerned reply.

Lovely little diner for lunch and pie. The soup on the day we ate was chicken noodle. All three of us enjoyed a hot cup. The grilled cheese sandwich wasn't anything special, but the grilled turkey & Swiss sandwich was delicious and huge! Neither of us that ordered the turkey & Swiss could eat the whole thing! Yay for leftovers. When eating at Borgens, diners are wise to try their homemade pies. Our table shared a slice of Sour Cream Raspberry pie. I describe it as a sweet custard pie with a layer of raspberry preserves topped with fluffy meringue. What's not to like?
Delicious, friendly
