What People Are Saying About Over The Counter Cafe

In Short – You can't miss the kitchen--it's right in the middle of the restaurant. You can see the care that's taken in the little things, like using fresh potatoes for the home fries. For breakfast, try the Western omelette filled with thick-sliced bacon, onions, green pepper and mushrooms, or steak served with two eggs. All breakfast entrees come with great home fries and toast. Lunch favorites include half-pound burgers and sandwiches, all for around $5.

Wonderful neighborhood diner
by ingapone at Citysearch
We sat at the counter of this wonderful, homey, neighborhood diner and enjoyed a hot breakfast while watching the cook, who was less than a foot from us and working in a space in which he could barely turn around. I mean, you can't find an atmosphere like that just anywhere!
Excellent food and customer service are offered by this little gem of a diner in East Millcreek. Highly recommended.

Best Breakfast, hands down
by heygirler at Citysearch
This is my favorite place to eat. I can walk in and get a yummy breakfast and good cup of coffee, and be myself. The food is great - real eggs, cheese, potatoes, bread - always fresh! The kitchen is right in the middle so you can see them cooking your breakfast. The people are friendly and down to earth. Their prices are good too. I'm a customer for life!

Unsanitary. Just plain dirty.
by EatinSLC at Citysearch
I am really surprised this place has such good reviews. It was very unsanitary, kitchen staff (who weren't wearing any kid of hairnet) were touching themselves, then the food. We watched the waitress handle menus, money, dirty plates, and THEN, yes, she touched the food without stopping to wash her hands even once.
We canceled our order and left the restaurant. I can home and check the health department's webpage and was not shocked to see that the restaurant received 2 out of 5 stars and has been flagged for 6 "critical" violations, which are violations that have the potential to cause foodborne illness.
I, like many other reviewers on this cite, could not believe the uncleanliness.
- Pros: none
- Cons: Unsanitary. Just plain dirty.

Great breakfast on the cheap.
by sqquuee at Citysearch
The staff here is great and know me by name. They have my coffee with cream waiting for me before i have had a chance to sit. The coffee never hits bottom.
The french toast is nice and moist, and they have a great Spanish Omelet.
- Pros: Huge slices of bacon.
- Cons: parking.
