Reviews
Pop’s Café (soon to be June’s Café) is a gem—and it’s within easy walking distance of the Superior Courthouse, which makes it a perfect lunch stop if you’re in the area.
The food is fresh, hot, and served in generous portions. I dined with a friend, and he said his BLT was excellent—fresh, crunchy lettuce and a surprisingly large, satisfying sandwich.
Service was outstanding. No fewer than three staff members checked on us throughout the meal, and our server Emily came by four separate times to make sure everything was perfect. That level of care is rare anywhere, let alone in a cozy diner.
The owners are in the process of transitioning the name back to June’s Café—June and her husband were the original owners, and they’ve returned this year to bring the place back to its roots. You can feel that sense of pride and warmth in everything they do.
One of the best diner experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended.
Food: good food and taste but portions were not proportionate. I ordered Pop’s Country Breakfast. It should have another egg (not just 1), way less potatoes, and way more gravy. I think the menu stated “…smothered with gravy.”
Service: coffee wasn’t as hot as it should. It was just warm. A nearby customer asked about parking and was alerted about possible towing. That was good.
Atmosphere: it was nice but a little warm inside.
Overall good but need to reassess their portions. I cheering for them and will check back in a few months.
Hash browns were ok but the Omlette was one of the worst I have ever been served in my life. Basically ingredients not even fully cooked thrown under the egg with some cheese. I’ve had better in a school cafeteria especially for the price they were charging.
Update as it’s now the same day in the evening.
Pretty sure both my girlfriend and I both have food poisoning and we definitely didn’t eat anything else today that we think caused this.
We sat indoor and the diner vibe is perfect. Next time, I want to bring my dog and sit outside. It gets busy but the wait is not bad at all.
We’ve had a great experience.
I loved everything we got!
– Country Fried Steak
– Eggs Benedict
I enjoyed my #3 Specialty Sandwich, which was turkey breast, avocado, lettuce, tomato, sprouts, and mayo on squaw bread, with a side of delicious potato salad. Onion rings were good too.
In-depth review:
Food: 3/5 – hamburger and fries at $12.50 is a fair price and taste as expected, and the country fried steak and eggs at around $15 is also decent. The Pop’s Country Breakfast (not pictured) was ok but too much gravy that was just ok tasting. Would not recommend the Grilled Chicken Melt (not pictured), it was horrible- very bland and basic, with cheese that was only barely melted and looked like Kraft singles. Pancakes are nice and fluffy and definitely worth trying.
Service: 3/5 – consistent good service
Price/Value: Par other similar diners, but cheaper than many others, so while expensive it’s just about better than the competition
Parking: Limited street parking only takes change or the app, I think free on Sundays? It’s not in too busy of a side street.
