Shelby Cafe

We stopped in for breakfast. First off, let's talk about Amy our server. She is the sweetest!!!! We enjoyed talking to her, and she introduced us to livermush! (Ended up treating us to a side of it!) The food here was amazing. HUGE blueberry pancakes, and the best French toast! Homemade seasoned home fries. I highly recommend this adorable diner!

Let's take a step back into the South and imagine a place where you don't really fit in unless you are a local or someone who teeters on the mindset that it's America and no one else. The comment "it must have been made in China" came up from our server regarding a new product they were using. Don't know if she was joking. However, not the place for it or anywhere for that matter. The place is crowded and will get crowded depending on the time of day it is. The crowd is pretty nice and there's chatter all around so it's not a quiet place. The food came out and it's cafe food so what else do you expect. The food was cooked and you really can't mess up breakfast. However, the coffee was a cross between hot water and hot water. Not a fan at all. The price was reasonable and made up for the coffee.

Loved the Shelby Cafe. The food was amazing. This Hoosier even has livermush. It was awesome. The staff are wonderful people. I wish I lived closer.

If you want simple stick to your ribs pretty good food for a very, very affordable price check this place out. You'll feel like you stepped back in time with the decor!Our server was especially friendly and helpful. Our food was out so fast I wondered if they knew what we were going to order ahead of time. The bathrooms were clean! You seat yourself. It's a pretty large space broken up into two different sections and you can tell it's a local favorite! Seem like everyone knew everyone else except us! They cooked my over medium eggs perfectly and the liver mush was not oily or over seasoned! I didn't care for their hash browns as they were somewhere between undercooked in places and overcooked in other places lol! It's a simple menu but for $7 it did the trick!

Our waitress was a five plus...friendly, pleasant and quick.The decor was a five..cute signs and pictures.The eggs and French toast a five..but the hash brown and pancake a 3 star.Easy parking on a none event (i.e. fall events corn maze etc) days

A Shelby staple. Can't beat the large portions and prices. Service is fast and friendly and atmosphere is homey. Everyone knows everyone here!

I heard about Shelby Cafe and decided today was the day to stop in for breakfast. Boy, am I glad I did. Hardwood floors moveable tables and chairs. I looked over all the menu breakfast selections, and they are all great selections, which made it difficult to choose. I ordered the vegetarian omelet, grits, and homefries, plus coffee . The plate was amazingly full of deliciousness. Tasty food and coffee. I'm so happy I stopped in. The waitress was very pleasant and efficient, very professional. Thank you.

I can honestly say, ONE OF THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN THE HISTORY OF RESTAURANTS!!! No kidding, you will absolutely love this establishment.Let's start with the service first. The nicest, funny, helpful, friendly and the absolute epitome of "down to earth" folks who "happily" provide the best service experience possible...ask them anything, including their own personal suggestions for what to eat, or add, or how best cooked and you will not be disappointed!! I was amazed to learn just how much was "homemade" DAILY in the restaurant...Our waitress was AMAZING!!!The food....WOW, are you ready for the best example of homemade cooking done by folks who genuinely seem to CARE AND LOVE what they do? I'm talking about gravy that you can stand a fork up in, eggs that are so fluffy they almost "float", salad dressings that are ALL homemade-try the Greek with the blue cheese on the hamburger salad, BOMB!!...rice, grits, fried pork chops and the best omelettes EVER!! I was checking out the other dishes as they were being served around our table and I can't wait to try everything I saw...Check out the "sides" section...everything you can imagine is available as a side dish!!Ambiance is exactly what I'm looking for in a diner!! Comfortable clean booths and with a nice view of downtown. Easy to converse with your table and those around you if you choose to. Working folks who deserve good food, fast, and reasonably priced. Restrooms were clean and had everything necessary. No frills and no BS, just a very nice place to enjoy some incredibly delicious homemade food....Breakfast served all day too...You pay at the counter and the two young ladies who helped us were great to talk with and so polite.If you're in Shelby NC, or anywhere even close, definitely stop by...you will not be disappointed!!! Thank you...
