Harbaugh's Cafe

First off we stopped in this town on our way through to Kansas City and so glad we stopped here! Everyone was great! The atmosphere in here was amazing and the food was awesome too! Had the corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and it was amazing!!

Looking for breakfast and lunch on the strip.. look no further. Five stars for atmosphere because everything is different inside of the restaurant. From the tables to the mugs, possibly even the plates that you're eating on everything is different and it's extremely unique.. Was there for breakfast and the food was great. Can't recommend the ranch potatoes anymore to anyone. It's a must if you're eating here.

Whoah… this place was amazing, no seriously. I went there last weekend, 8/23/25. I went to school here at SIU-C from 2005-2007 and never went there to eat while in college. I tell you what …I highly regret it. This was hands down the best breakfast I have ever had. My waitress was awesome, I believe her name was Lisa. She had a great attitude, very nice, and resourceful, she answered all my questions and recommends a meal for me after describing what I wanted to eat. I ordered oatmeal that came with brown sugar and raisins, cooked perfectly… not too runny… not too dry. The eggs were fresh, pancakes were really fluffy, and the breakfast ham was cooked perfectly.. so rich in flavor. This is a must try if you are in the Carbondale, IL area. I will most def be back!! ☀️👏🫡

We stopped in for breakfast Saturday, Oct. 18th. There was a bit of a wait for a table, but it wasn't too bad. The server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The breakfast burrito was good but the tomato salsa was a bit to acidic. The other dishes we got were all very tasty. The prices were slightly higher than I expected, but overall was a good value for the quality. The next time we are in Carbondale, we'll most likely go back. Note: This is an updates review, my original review was for another restaurant we went to that evening. Sorry for the mix up!!

Small Cafe with lots of great choices. We had Egg Benedict and French Toast. The coffee was excellent too! Friendly waiter who was very attentive. Fun little garden and Koi pond next door.
