Dean's Homestyle Cafe

My go-to order here is country fried steak and biscuits and gravy! So good and so filling, I can never finish the entire portion by myself. The gravy on both dishes is sooo good. Cash only!

Not a fan of businesses that don't take cards. There are many reasons I feel this way, but it's not a good look. We were invited here by friends who come here often and enjoy it. They like the price for quantity and it makes sense. We had a pretty long wait as this place was busy for Sunday breakfast and then they messed up and couldn't read their own writing and thought we were a large group and not just 4. Being with someone who is recovering from medical stuff and waiting outside while other people are sat before us wasn't awesome. But we got seated eventually in this dingy cramped place. The service was poor to say the least. The waitress came to take our order and in the middle of my friend placing hers the waitress just starts talking to coworkers about someone's drink or something, totally ignoring us so she stopped and we waited while the waitress finished her conversation (that she started). Finally we could order, but she's either new to serving in general or is terrible at her job. I really do think it's the latter. Food was okay, nothing special. Usually with biscuits and gravy you get way more biscuits and I planned on taking some home with jam for later. They split them all open and cover them in gravy. That might seem like a great thing, but I've never had any place do it like this so it was unexpected. That meant not only was I not going to enjoy my biscuits the way I was planning, but now I have soggy food for later. Now you know in case you think you want to order them. The portions were large and the price cheaper than most, probably because of location. It was okay. I wouldn't seek it out, but if my friend's invited us again we would go.

Great food and service! I ordered the Dean's omelet and it was huge! They kept the coffee full and were quick to check in on us. We loved it!

Always amazing food, service and ambiance! Don't leave me! You are the best breakfast anywhere!

Cool charm - I love the 50s era vibe. Waitresses are sweet and even sassy - adds to the character. But about the breakfast: it was stellar. Bacon is crisp and meaty, scrambled eggs have that whipped texture, hash browns are decadent and crunchy (like god intended). The side dish of biscuits and gravy rank among the best I had, and the buttermilk pancakes are light and sweet.Home run for breakfast- I hope this place never changes.

This is an awesome place for breakfast. The food is good and the portions are huge. It's super crowded on the weekends, so I usually only eat here during the week.

Have gone here for months every Sunday. Always a wait to be seated and for good reason. Transformed from a house to a restaurant, the ambience can't be understated. I will say beware the size of the food they serve! They don't skimp on anything. From breakfast to burgers, I haven't tried anything I haven't liked. They have regular sized meals all the way to OMG how in the heck are you going to eat all that? And you can't judge by the price. Even their biggest meals are a bargain. If you go there once, you'll be back again. Either that or you'll always be thinking about it. Oh, cash only BTW. Stop at the ATM on the way. I guess that's one way they keep the prices down.

You know how good a place is by the length of the wait and I had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. A cute old house from the early 1900s, the place has charm, good service, and delicious food at very reasonable prices.The servers have obviously been here a long time, so things flowed smoothly in my quest for some good chow. Mine was quick, friendy, and attentive, keeping my coffee topped-off whenever she came by.I had the Homestyle Breakfast ($13) with two eggs, hash browns, three slices of bacon, and a biscuit and gravy. There was so much food, I had to take half home and it was delish. The price was 2/3 the cost of similar breakfasts elsewhere where you are lucky to pay less than $20, making Dean's a definite TravelValue ... HOOAH!The only negative was me showing-up with not much cash and the sign on the front stated ¨We don't take debit/credit cards¨, so I had to run to an ATM down the street. In this day of contactless payments, I would have been happy to pay and extra buck or two to use a card.CombatCritic Gives Dean's Homestyle Cafe 9 Bombs Out Of 10 ... More Bombs Are Better!

I have eaten at Deans since they were in Damascus. I am Glad they moved a few years ago to this much larger location on highway 212. The food is great tasting and there is plenty of it. Kind of reminds me if I was making breakfast this is exactly how I would prepare and serve it, and the prices are very reasonable. The chicken fried steak with sausage gravy is my favorite. The biscuits and gravy are yummy also. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Deans to anybody wanting a good old breakfast.

We had breakfast at Dean's on Thursday. This is the first restaurant I have been to that actually served enough gravy with the biscuits. It was delicious!The atmosphere is rustic and comfortable. The staff and customers are like good friends. I wish it was closer to us.
