My mom and I were longtime customers of Dempsey’s. That ends now.
We came in around 9 a.m. for breakfast and immediately noticed the dining room was nearly empty. By the time we left, it was obvious why.
My mom ordered two eggs with toast and sausage. I ordered three eggs with toast and bacon. We also shared a side of sausage, home fries, and corned beef hash.
The food was awful.
The home fries were bland and forgettable. The sausage tasted like the cheapest frozen links you can buy at a grocery store. The corned beef hash—ordered well done—was paper-thin and cooked to death, dry, flavorless, and unpleasant. Nothing tasted fresh, homemade, or remotely worth the price.
The menu itself says everything you need to know. It’s so small and bare that instead of food options, the pages are packed with countless local ads just to fill the empty space. Fewer choices, lower quality—and somehow much higher prices.
Then came the bill.
$70. For breakfast for two people.
Eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, and a few sides—basic diner food—priced like a luxury brunch. My mom and I have ordered this exact meal here for years and it has never cost anywhere near that. The quality has dropped while the prices have become absurd.
Now it makes sense why the dining room was empty. These prices clearly aren’t meant for regular customers anymore. They seem aimed at a small group of retirees willing to burn through their pensions on wildly overpriced diner food—because no one else can justify paying this much for such a mediocre meal.
This isn’t inflation. It’s price gouging.
My mom and I will never return. We’ll be taking our business elsewhere—Donut Villa included—where the same food is served at reasonable prices and customers aren’t treated like walking ATMs.
Dempsey’s didn’t lose us to competition.
They priced us out and drove us away.

I got 2 eggs toast with sausage a coffee a Small orange juice. My Son got 3 eggs toast bacon and side of sausage. Also Orange Juice. We decided to also get some Hash to share. Our hash came out it was littery paper thin. I thought well this must be a off day for them because I have been here numerous times. Never a issue. I said to my son. Wow its sooo quiete here. I never been here with it being so quiet. However it had been about a year since the last time I was there I think. Then I asked for the bill. It came. It had 2 different prices 1 for Cash another for Card. Now you see What my order was. I did pay the Cash Price $69.39 now I know why it was empty. I won’t be back. I will spred the word. RIDICULOUS!!! Breakfast not LUNCH nor EARLY DINNER !!!

I’m not in this area often, and this was only the second time I’ve been to Dempsey’s ever, both times within the past year. It’s a little bit pricey, but the food and the coffee are excellent! Should be $$, not $, but it’s worth the money, IMO. The home fries were far above average – delicious! Service was also very good.

Cosy and pleasant breakfast specialty joint, friendly staff and tasty food at good prices – $20 for a single breakfast with too much food to fit on one plate is a win in my book!
Their buttermilk pancakes are amazing – a beautifully soft, cakey texture and just sweet enough without being overpowering.

Ordered a cheeseburger via phone call.
I was never asked what I want on it.
I get the burger and it is plain with no veggies, no sauce, no Ketchup, nothing. Meat had little flavor.
I called in to share my opinion that they should have asked me what I wanted on it if it was going to be a super plain burger. If I am not asked what I want on it, it is reasonable to expect the basics of lettuce and tomato on it.
Guy on the phone took zero responsibility. Didn’t acknowledge they made a mistake when taking a phone order. And then started getting passive aggressive by judging that I ordered a cheeseburger at 11 AM. That is none of his concern and I let him know as much.
