The food was good….. however…. My husband ordered the burger and it looked like it came off a kids menu. Smallest burger I’ve ever seen. I had their taco and it was good but also very small. Took 30 min to get our order and ate it in less than 10 min. For spending $18 I would have been better at McDonald’s and felt more full. Great small sizes for seniors (which is all that was there)

Owner let’s husband yell at guests and be rude to several patrions. Having several people ask what his problem is but yet it continues, as well as the husband telling my nephew to go play in the highway he’d have a good time. The portions are so much smaller than before I’ve been a long time patrion. Would not recommend especially the wait times and attitude from all the other staff. I am deeply ashamed of ever going to the garden cafe.

Love this place! Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Good variety of foods on the menu. Portions are generous. Great prices on everything, even better on the daily specials. Food is all homemade and absolutely delicious. Try to save room for dessert. They have a wide selection of sweets, too. Will definitely return soon to The Garden Cafe!
