It's a greasy spoon diner with an actual counter you can eat over. A variety of breakfast combos. You can customize your orders. I asked for my hash browns to be well done and it was perfect.

This cute little cafe is actually quite large, don't be fooled by the storefront, there's even an upstairs. The staff are super friendly and nice, got our large group seated right away and everyone knew the menus well. All of the breakfast options were large, delicious, and everything I'd expect from a yummy breakfast joint, but for my fancy healthy breakfast lovers, the options are a bit more limited. It's deliciously greasy predictable breakfast here, large portions too! The one disappointment was my daughter's gravy for her side of biscuits came cold. Flavor was good, but definitely would have been better hot. Lots of options for breakfast, bread and eggs, good hash, bacon or sausage and large pancakes! I would go again for the large portions and value, as well as the nostalgic hearty breakfast. It's like a Dennys or IHOP but small town feel and less corporate for sure.

A really great hole in the wall place. The staff is always friendly and the food is good. It's almost always packed. One item of note; they don't cook the food by ticket so your table will likely get the food at various points in time. If you're wanting to have all the food brought at once, this may not be the place to eat for you.

Busy little cafe with high energy and waitresses that love to chat. The layout of the place is tight but we were able to manage fitting 6 people on one booth. The burritos were a great way to start the day after the festivities that transpired the night before. -1 for avocadoes on not in \ No mimosas

This was my first time here. My son eats here often so we went on his recommendation. First the atmosphere. It feels like you've stepped back into the 1960's. There is a counter you can sit at and a few tables. It was crowded on a Sunday morning but we did get a table. The service was quick and we didn't wait for anything. The food was hearty and delicious. I asked for Crispy Bacon and it was perfect. My husband had the blueberry lemon French Toast and loved it. If you like a great breakfast and fun atmosphere, check them out.

Over The Counter Cafe is a quaint little diner open for breakfast and lunch. We stopped in for lunch today and there was a bit of a wait for a table but we were able to add ourselves to the electronic tablet for the waitlist and fortunately we were seated in about 10 minutes. We sat at the counter which gives you a great view of the grill and the amazing kitchen staff just working expeditiously to fill the orders for all the hungry diners. I ordered the B.E.S.T. from the breakfast menu. This is a grilled sandwich with egg, bacon, spinach, tomato, pesto and cheddar cheese. YUM! Served with a side of "homies" which are home fries and of course some fry sauce. The sandwich was messy and gooey but that's what made it so delicious. It was served on sourdough bread and I left satisfied. We met Amy the owner when paying our check. She was very friendly and showed such gratitude to everyone that was there dining. It showed that she truly cared to make sure folks were satisfied with their dining experience at Over The Counter Cafe.

Delicious breakfast on a nice holiday weekend! We hadn't been before, but were in the neighborhood. Fun vibe and great service, especially since we came at fairly busy time. Food was fantastic! My husband got the Spanish Omelette and said it was the best he's ever had! I have a few dietary restrictions, but thoroughly enjoyed the Home Fries and avocado slices! Husband said the coffee was really good and I enjoyed my hot green tea. They even gave me a small kettle to refresh my hot water throughout my meal! Will definitely return!

I haven't been here for years and don't remember it being this busy where there was a long wait and limited parking. I guess when you serve a really good breakfast...word gets around. There was one seat at the counter when I got there that I was happy to sit at, however the waitress was attentive to the tables more than the counter customers. I was lucky enough to sit next to a guy that comes in every day so he actually helped me place my order and even brought me my coffee. This place is busy and LOUD. You're not going to get "cracker jack" service here, but you will get a decent breakfast at a decent price, you'll just have to have patience for a server to come and take your order and don't expect a smile they are way too busy for that
