Going home just doesn't feel like it used to compared to just a few short years ago for me. There's a number of reasons for that, but this isn't that type of review. One of the things I miss the most is the home cooked meals I would look forward to. Recently, those meals are far and few in between. On a recent trip my brother and I had decided to give this place a try. He had been here before, but this would be my first time. We ventured over and walked in. There wasn't much of a crowd and we were seated with menus in hand in no time. I did a once over of the menu quickly and spotted meatloaf. I don't know what it is about meatloaf on a menu, but I have to give it a try each and every time I see it.Our server was quick to take our order and we were just now going to wait until things started to arrive. I looked around the space as we waited and took it in. This place really does give off a small town vibe with the decor. My brother told me that the space is bigger when they use the other dining room as well. With it being not so busy, they had no need to use that part of the space. Unlike the one reviewer that said they get hit with a smell when they come in here, the only smell I got hit with was the food being prepared.We both started off with a side salad. It was a decent size, but I did have to pick through it a bit as there was some undesirable pieces of lettuce floating in the salad. They give you ample salad dressing so you can go all in or add as you go. Wasn't anything special, lettuce, tomato, onion and your dressing. Nice way to start off the meal.Then the main dish arrived. Like I said, I went with the meatloaf which came with two sides and a roll. For my sides I went with mashed potatoes and my choice of vegetable, corn. The choice of vegetable varies on what they have that day. You could tell that there were some shortcuts taken on some of the plate, but not the meatloaf. With gravy over the meatloaf and mashed potatoes it was the way to go. The meatloaf was seasoned nicely, it was overpowered by peppers or onions, it was just right. I did the Pennsylvania thing in me with the mashed potatoes and corn. I would take a glob of the potatoes and stick it in the corn to eat it. Not sure if anyone else does this, but I find it easier and sometimes the combination is spot on. The addition of the sweet corn to the potatoes gives is a buttery taste.While we were noshing away at our meal we got a bacon cheeseburger with fries to go for my Dad waiting at home. They cooked it at just the right time. As we were finishing up the meal I saw them placing the to go order near the counter. Almost perfect timing. Paying was easy and we headed out for the night.

My husband and I had a great breakfast at this cafe the other day. My omelette was light and fluffy. My husband had the sausage biscuit and gravy with home fries. Service was excellent and the atmosphere very cozy.

Today was the first time we have tried this restaurant. The initial smell of old and moldy hit us right as we walked into the front door, but people were seated in the main area, so decided to stay and give it a try. The speed of service was amazing. The wait staff was attentive, kind, and very quick. I have absolutely no complaints when it came to service. The food is another matter entirely. I'm surprised they are still in business with the food quality. The Italian hoagie is a joke, and would make a real Italian spit on his grandmother. The turkey hoagie (which we ordered cold) came out toasted with a piece of crunchy American "cheese" in the top, with half burnt bread. The pulled pork looked like it was either eaten before, or sat in the fridge for a week. It was like slop on a plate. Disgusting is an understatement. We more than likely will not be going back. Save your money.

Friendly staff, and they have the best Shrimp tacos I have ever eaten. It's a small town Cafe, but it has a robust menu of all sorts of delicious sounding food I'm excited to try the next time I return. If you are looking for great Shrimp Tacos for an excellent price , this is the place to go.

I have eaten at this restaurant several times and I have never been disappointed! Great food, delicious desserts, and a friendly, small town feel. We don't have many places to eat home style cooking any more. I hope they are around for a long time!

Me and my person were looking for a a good restaurant while in Hastings for work. The Hastings Beaver Street Cafe caught our eye with its old timey signage. I ordered the western burger with cheese sticks and he got the pizza burger sub with old bay fries. The staff was very friendly. 10 out of 10 would recommend and we will definitely be back the next time we are in town.

I must say this restaurant is the purest definition of a diamond in the rough. The experience is as good as the food and that is excellent. The staff is so friendly that regardless if you.are from this town or not they make you.feel at home. The food is exemplary. The options seem endless and every item feels like a touch of home cooking. Me and my family will always and forever be a customer ( or as they say family) at this restaurant. 10 out of 10
