September 2025. First visit today. Visited with my daughter and two grands. This is an older establishment but in great shape. Basically plain decor reminiscent of the 60’s.
Booths, tables and counter seating.
Open to serve breakfast and lunch.
I ordered the Patty Melt. It was very good. Serverd on two pieces of toasted and buttered rye bread. One third pound patty, cheese and grilled onions. Comes with Soup of the Day. Friday being a very good Cream of Potato soup.
The real shocker were the very affordable prices. My $8.95 meal would probably be at least $12 to $15 at many other locals.
There is a kids menu but did not see any “Senior” specials, but with the low prices really not needed.
So if you are in Genoa Illinois and looking for a breakfast or lunch restaurant serving very good basic food, give Genoa Cafe a try.

Went to this place this morning I found hair wrapped around my has brown took them back to get the same order I had placed at first and they gave me the wrong order I took it back again and they gave me raw eggs and the the lady said they couldn’t do anything about it she was mad and had attitude because I had gone again and she walked away from me. Last time me and my family eat at this place. Do anybody know the health inspector number and maybe these people should be wearing hair nets

2 omelettes, side of bacon, short stack of pancakes and 2 coffees for under $30! This same meal at iHop would cost you over $50! And friendly staff to boot!
