Boulevard Cafe

This place had a place in my heart over the years since it changed from Lyons. That was decades ago now. They have yummy brunch and breakfast & some other good food too like mac n cheese & patty melt. Service can be hit or miss, when its a miss its bad. But we usually get a good server the last few times. The bar area is chill for games or just to get a easier table. They changes it to mostly high top, it was better before as booths and regular seating but I do understand why. They used to have "up all night" milkshake that was amazing but took it off menu. Casual upscale diner vibes. Great for groups, family or couples. Food is a solid 3.5/5 & I ordered so many things here. I keep coming back mostly out of convenience. Think I will stop by soon & update this LONG overdue review.

We have been going here from the start, celebrating family and friends. Had no problems for the most part, until Friday around 6:00.Came in asked for seats for 4, was more told not asked if the whole party was here. Seated on the East section. No problems seating and menu,ordered food. Service was lack luster, no one smiling or even talking. Asked for water to be filled, twice by two different bus boys. No water , I stood up to grab a pitcher of water and filled it myself. No one coming bye asking if everything was okay, usually they do this. Noticed that the hostess was just talking not helping staff. Was more interested in talking to her phone. I will be going to the sister restaurants, as for now this one is no longer on my places to go.

Came here with some coworkers last week and had a really nice dinner.What we ordered - Orzo Alexandra $20: I've never had this before and this was so good. Love the salmon and the white sauce. Each bite was packed with so much flavor!! The portion was huge and I got to bring it for lunch the next day haha- Schezwan Pork Ribs $16: This was a sweet & spicy Asian glaze ribs. I didn't think it was spicy which was good because I was worried it would be too spicy. Loved the side of salad!- Fried Calamari $19: This was such a great appetizer!!! It was such a bigggg portion too!!! - Fish and Chips $21: There was 3 huge pieces of fried fish and it just melts in your mouth. It's so good with the tartar sauce. I'd definitely get this again.

Solid spot. Went in for a late lunch and got a booth easily. Service was great, my chicken club was delicious!

Had lunch last week and enjoyed being a guest along with three others. We were greeted right away and seated. It is a beautiful restaurant with lots of large windows. Lighting was awesome adding to the ambiance. The food was good, service better than adequate. It was a great experience and was not rushed. We will return !

My family and I have come here for years. It's always been a solid place for breakfast and brunch. This time, we came on Thanksgiving. We came early enough where there wasn't a line. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and checked in on us frequently. The swedish pancakes and brioche french toast are our favorite go to breakfast dishes if you want something sweet. It's big enough to share too. My parents loved the corn beef hash and country fried steak. We have yet to come here for dinner but I always see that it's busy when I drive by. Glad to have this spot in the Westlake area :)

Me and friends went there for breakfast. The is food is good and the ambiance is nice just like a typical brunch cafe. We haven't seen in a while so we are catching up. We haven't finished eating and yet the waiter is kinda rude like he wants to take the plate so we could leave the table right away. This place is not recommended for friends/ families who want to celebrate something or catching up.

As far as diners go, this is one of the nicer ones that I have been to.There's plenty of parking but the lot was pretty full on a Saturday around noon. The inside is very spacious and more modern than your average diner. It's a great place for a large group.There is so much on their menu that there's sure to be something for everyone. They have all the usual breakfast staples as well as things like burgers, pastas, sandwiches and salads.I was hesitant about getting seafood but I tried their Scampi Prawns ($24) at the suggestion of our waitress and it was really good. The spaghetti was cooked just right and the garlic cream sauce wasn't too heavy. Everyone else in my group ordered breakfast and enjoyed their dishes too.This was the perfect choice for a casual meal for our group of 9. I would recommend it to anyone wanting good ole American comfort food.

Stopped in for lunch. Medium sized menu. Good food and service. The counter is not made for tall people. On the negative side: No wifi!

Boulevard Cafe is a must visit. There are so many things to love about it. The pastas are always spot on. The Lamb chop never misses. The steak has come out a bit dry, so there's no need to explore. Burgers and sandwiches normally are a safe bet. If you have a large party, graduation, birthday, celebration, this is your spot. Make a call and reserve a table. I've celebrated so many occasions here. Prices are reasonable, but it's not fast food. So check the menu to see if it's within your budget. I love my coffee refills for a Saturday brunch. Pro tip: parking can be difficult in the small lot, so drive around the apartment parking lot or park on down in the residential area along John Daly. See you soon Boulevard Cafe!
