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.
Great breakfast on the cheap.

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.
Home-Made Food, Top Quality Ingredients, Best Service Around
by justaguyinslc
One of the best locally owned and operated breakfast places in the city! The restaurant is run by the owners--a couple who personally supervise the place almost every day of the year. I love this place for three reasons: (1) Simple home-made food with top-quality ingredients. (2) A bright, friendly atmosphere. (3) Amazingly friendly and fast service. They serve eggs and pancakes with home made potatoes, fresh vegetables, perfectly crisp bacon, and real butter. The price range is in the middle-about $9 per person for coffee and breakfast. The breakfast steak or pork chops are a great value. The giant hamburgers are also great!
The food is simple! The focus here is on fast, hot, fresh food. If you want something fancy, take the extra time to drive up to Ruth's Diner (another great place) but if you want BREAKFAST with a smile, go to Over-The-Counter!
- Pros: best service in town, personally run by the owners
- Cons: Only takes cash!
Great Breakfast!

This isn't supposed to be a gourmet health-food place. It is what it
is and I love that about it. It's folksy. If you don't like bacon and
fat--order the oatmeal. It's great and comes with brown sugar
and cream/milk. Love to come by myself, do a crossword puzzle
and chat with whomever comes in!
- Pros: Great breakfasts!
- Cons: The ambience is what it is--"over the counter" In think that's a pro
