8th street Cafe opened this week so we stopped by to check it out. I seen people talking about it on Facebook so I'm sure many people were eager to try it out as well. It's definitely a small cafe but I feel if business goes great the owner could look into expanding. Right when we walked in, I noticed there were about 20 tables and they were all filled. We didn't have to wait too long for a table but did have to wait a while before we ordered, they were busy though so we were understanding. I tried the pulled pork and to be honest, I hate to say it but it was a miss for me. The pork was in huge chunks and a bit cold in some parts. I wanted to love it so I was bummed. My husband got the chicken n waffles and it was hot n ready. I also got the broccoli and cheese soup and I thought that was

I was impressed. Food came out together and hot. We had a table of 14 and we all ordered something different from breakfast to chicken parm. Our server was incredible, she kept the drinks full and the prices where very reasonable and the plates were full. No one left hungry.

I've been there twice now and both times have been delightful. The food is always good, and service is friendly and fast. I went with my granddaughter today for brunch. Our waitress was very attentive and our food came very quickly. We each walked out with leftovers. Thank you for such great small town good and service.

There’s a fantastic new spot in town! The staff is lovely, and the owner, even took the time to introduce themself. It seems like an awesome local place for regular visits. The food was delicious with a home-cooked feel and great presentation.
