Went to Crystal Cafe today for breakfast and was very impressed! Hadn’t been there since the 80’s and now realize what I’ve been missing. We are so tired of chain restaurants that are overpriced and packaged food and not supporting our hometown family business. We will be going back frequently to Crystal Cafe with family and friends. Great food, friendly service and great hometown atmosphere!

first impression: the decor is so cute, with uplifting and inspirational messages. the place was clean and tidy, and very inviting. The seats had soft comfy cushions
the lady running the place was sweet as pie, and more importantly, kept the sweet tea flowing, lol. The tea was very good, you could tell it was fresh brewed, and sweetened just right.
The burger was good, but man, those fries were so good. I havent had fries that like that in a long while.
super impressed, and will definitely eat here whenever we're this way.

The best way to describe Crystal Cafe is it’s like getting a home cooked meal but you don’t have to cook! Delicious and affordable, love this place!:)

In Parkersburg for the weekend ( last weekend 8/15-8/17) We walked over for breakfast. It was busy due to the Homecoming I’m assuming. We sat ourselves bc the waitress was so busy. We sat for 10 minutes before anyone came. We did get our drink orders, a lady with a “bun” said I will be right back to take your order. 20 minutes later, still no order taken, but one little lady was working her tail off! I’m assuming the owners came in, they sat in the back corner, while starting to clear some of the dirty tables and wipe them down, still no order taken.. Finally, the “one” lady working and doing everything came to take our order, there were 5 of us. Order taken, more people coming in, the lady with “the bun” still standing talking to the owners and proceeded to bring them out some food, which is fine, they own it so be it! People came in for coffee, the one lady working was doing everything, while again the lady with the bun stood talking! We got most of our food, my order did not come out so we had to wait for it to be made ( French toast) it wasn’t turned in! Again, while the one lady was doing everything, the lady with the bun stood and talked to the owners, while they watched the one lady do it all! Pretty ridiculous if you ask me! You definitely need some help in your restaurant and hire people whom want to work instead of standing talking to you while everyone else waits on their food.. you could have at least helped run the register, make a pot of coffee or been a little helpful. While the food was ok, if in Parkersburg, probably won’t return. I gave it a one star, not bc the service we received from the only lady working, she did her job and a tip was left, but because you as an owner sat and watched her work herself to death, while the bun lady stood and talked to you and didn’t offer to help the other lady!
Great local family ran Cafe with nice people
