Crystal Cafe

3.5 Service is quick, prices are cheap, and for downtown Parkerburg diners it's bout as good as it gets. Really one of three lunch places (Asides from Chams and Jimmy John's) Not home cooked Lebanese but cheaper. Happy to see someone buy this place and compete in the lunch scene. I'll eat here again, but won't be a regular.

When I lived in Parkersburg in the 90's. My mom and I use to go to the crystal cafe. Mom was in her mid seventies, she said her and my grandma use to go there as well. I had to take my hubby. The staff is always great, the food is fresh made and always delicious. There are a lot of regulars that go this quaint,place with delicious food . With delicious food and great staff, the Crystal Cafè will be around for a very long time.

Great homemade food, very reasonable prices and friendly staff. We came from out of town and everything we ordered was homemade and delicious. The cinnamon rolls a as re great!!

One of my favorite local diners. The menu is very inexpensive, and the quality of the food is good for the price. Not a fancy place but a very relaxed, small diner/café. They have books lined on the wall for 50¢. Service is quick & efficient, and the employees are very nice and personable. My BLT is perfect for the price of 5$ + homefries

First, excellent food. Very reasonably priced. Used books for sale on the walls. Today we had quesadillas (1 chicken, 1 beef) with broccoli salad for $6.49. Both we're moist, tasty, cheesy, chrispy and nicely spiced. I also had a cup of meaty chili (vegetable soup also available). Soda in the bottle over ice. Total under $20.

If I could leave less than one star, I would. Took a out of town friend there for breakfast and I have nothing good to say about it. Our food came out cold and had to send it back. The service was sub-par. I will never return or recommend this place to anyone.

I'm not uptight, so some of these other reviews aren't very helpful. I think many of the other reviewers are expecting a five course meal from a diner. The Crystal Café is not pretending to be something that it's not. It's simply a small local diner offering reasonably priced food. They offer delivery to businesses in downtown Parkersburg, which is nice because not many other restaurants do.The food is actually pretty good. I personally recommend the Club Sandwich on Texas Toast. The staff is very friendly, and they often know their diners by name. They also offer daily specials that many of my coworkers enjoy.

I concur with the other reviews here. Nothing special, but for $4.85 breakfast with eggs, bacon, hash browns and cofee you shouldn't expect it. I come in at 7:45 am, and have never seen it busy. Although, I have walked by at 6am and the place was packed to the counter chairs! Easy birds rule this place, I guess..Service is always prompt and with a smile. I think breakfast is better than lunch. But lunch is a solid option when you've tired of the deli and hotel lunching options nearby.

Cute little resturant. BBQ and service were excellent! Looking forward to going again!

Friendly atmosphere, convenient location, good food and reasonable prices. Recipe for success.
