Allix VanderMeer: One of my absolute favorite breakfast spots in town. It can get really busy on the weekends, but they're great about taking reservations if you call ahead. The first time I went was 10 years ago and I STILL love it! I am sad they took my favorite vegetarian frittata off the menu, but the last time I was there they were more than accommodating to make me an a la carte version.

aaliyah s: want to try Real Food Cafe. it is local to me and i revisit the menu periodically but there’s yet to be vegan options listed. please add vegan breakfast menu items.

Alyssa Morin: Wolfgang’s never disappoints. GR is the halfway point where my mom and I try to meet up every other week since we don’t live in the same city, and we come here whenever we can. I’ve tried most of the Eggs Benedict options they have, and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Ma usually goes for the frittata. Both are amaaaazing. This is truly the superior breakfast spot.

Gamer Mann: I don't understand how this has such good reviews for a restaurant that doesn't season their food

Hugh Williams: 04/13/2023 Westsider Café at 1180 Walker Ave, NW:Local breakfast gem. Not a chain. Great food. My favorite? The Polish Skillet. All superb staff, but ask for Nia. Generous portions.They haven’t wasted their money on an expensive, visible, exterior sign. It’s what is inside that counts. They excel at that. Eat local. Support local owners.

David Stults: We were amazed by and complimented our server on the fact that she took our order without writing anything down! We even asked her, how do you remember all this stuff? While she was very sweet and kind, she literally screwed up every part of our order! We'll get a different server next time, but the food is absolutely amazing, and I will go back as quickly as I can!

Brad Gillette: If you state you’re open until 2:30pm, especially as a place with limited hours, don’t shut down at two and refuse to cook a bratwurst to-go. Ended up going down the road and picked up some uncooked to grill for my father who is in his final days in the hospital.Until today we always enjoyed eating at Westsider and were pleased with the service.

Awesomely Aimless Adventures: Welcome to the Westside. The best side of GR. It’s real, historic and friendly. The food is flavorful and ginormous portions. I tried the corn beef skillet and could only fit 1/2 of it in my tummy. Tried the pickle soup and you must as well. It’s a game changer!It’s simple and solid. Just like the Westside 💕

Zachary Burkum: We were happy to revisit Westsider Cafe for the first time in a long time. It was still busy, but a wait should be expected at any place worth the time on a Saturday morning. We were happy to be able to leave a name and phone number with the hostess so we could wait outside. There's not a lot of room inside the restaurant to wait for a table. Our server was friendly, and the food was as good as we remembered. My partner and I both tried something new this time. She got the Cuban skillet and I got the Polish skillet. Both were great, and I was excited for the thick cut toast we got. I forgot how good the breads are that they use! I'm looking forward to going back again soon!Parking: The cafe's free parking lot is behind the building, but is pretty small. Be prepared to park on Walker or one of the nearby side streets if you're going during peak hours.

Rose Hetrick: Wonderful lil restaurant with a bar. A gem to the city I'm sure. My husband had the Smash Burger and loved it!! Also, a champagne velvet beer, very good. The fries, don't get me started lol Best we've ever had (I stole a few😉). I had the Raddichio (spelling?) salad with honeydew, blue cheese, cashews, and forget what a couple ingredients were, topped with an in house cantaloupe vinaigrette dressing. Very very good👍🏼 The man that seated us was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable as was the wait staff. Cozy quaint place. Would definitely visit again. I'd give 100 stars if I could ✨⭐✨⭐✨..

Lisa Mueller: Brunch. Cozy and clean restaurant. Glad we got here at a time that wasn't too busy because there is limited seating. I got the overnight oats which I loved with a perfect consistency and perfectly balanced flavor. Husband got the eggs, potatoes and toast. The potatoes were so soft inside and crispy out, with wonderful seasoning. Staff was great, and the food was prepared quickly. I certainly will be back!!! Can't wait to try dinner as well.

Lilly: I have brunched here a few times over the last few years. Every visit has been on a busy weekend and despite the limited seating in this cozy establishment, my group and I have always been sat in a reasonable time—Usually less than a 30 minute wait.Table service is always quick and pleasant.Food is consistently fabulous, both classic dishes and unique menu items. We always get an order of the seasonal French toast for the table to start. It seems like every flavor is better than the last. For savory items we have ordered the brunch burger and steak & egg’s multiple times—SO GOOD. And this last visit we also had their French omelette and it was amazing.Keep it up Little Bird !
