Howard's Cafe

The food was decent and the price was reasonable. I ordered a burger with blue cheese and french fries. They don’t use blue cheese crumbles which would be an easy upgrade - they use blue cheese dressing. The burger was cooked exactly the way I asked, but overall, it was nothing special. The french fries were plentiful and good. The salad was lettuce with a thin slice of onion and a thin slice of tomato and croutons. My drink, burger, and fries with side salad was $15.95 – all included. Pretty good deal, but for average food. Service was a bright spot and they seem to have a regular crowd of older gentleman customers. Seats were uncomfortable wooden booths. Don’t know if I just didn’t order the right thing there, but all in all, not worth a trip back. I was expecting a lot more based on all of the 4+ star reviews.

This is a local favorite, little secret. The burgers are absolutely delicious. Cute little carafe of wine or Beer for 3.50 with a meal. Service is top notch, feels like family. Sports bar type tv’s on one side while the dining is separate. You must go! In the Staples shopping center.

Went for lunch. Waited an 15 minutes before the waitress Debbie came over to take our order due to her speaking to a different table about their careers and colleges. We waited an hour for the food. The food was tough, dry, and overcooked. When we let her know about the food, Debbie said “how did I know you were going to do this”. She then took the food back and said the kitchen ate it in the back and it was fine. We spoke to the bartender after asking for the manager and he came over instead. We decided to leave after being unable to eat the food. We stood up ask about the check Debbie said “what do they want?” And the bartender said “I don’t know what they want” as we stood there. We asked if we need to pay they said “no”. The entire experience was terrible and being spoken to very rudely and as if we weren’t there was beyond disrespectful. Very disappointed, I do not recommended.

Definitely a locals place... Great value and nothing fancy... The food was good, service was good and prices were very reasonable. Portions are huge and we ended up bringing home half of our orders. It seems like they get a mostly older clientele here. Been coming here for years but not often enough.
