Pretty decent little spot but expensive for a tiny greasy spoon. 45 bucks for 2 small breakfast plates, coffee and oj. Frozen bag o hash browns and bulk sausage with two eggs and toast. Should have been half that price.

Small diner but great food and friendly atmosphere. Menu is simple but tasty. I’d come back!

I found this small cafe when I stayed in the motel next door. I went there, Budget Inn, to get away from the old Motel 6 several blocks down with their lousy service, but that’s another story. Anyway, this is a small diner that serves breakfast and lunch. I’ve been going there for breakfast on Friday’s and like the menu and particularly the service. Sue runs around serving the customer with a great attitude. You won’t run out of coffee or whatever else with her around. Good time to go is before 8:30 AM when the regulars come in. Another thing I like is they have Tobasco sauce by default instead of some other places that treat it like it is some treasure that has to be safeguarded from the masses.

A fantastic old school breakfast joint. It’s looked this way since the 70s. Some of the seats are patched. It looks worn. But the coffee is endless, the staff are super helpful (everyone gets called “hon”) and the food is amazing. I had the best omlette of my life here: perfectly cooked and seasoned. Phenomenal. Excellent value for money. Go if you are ever in Ridgecrest, it’s a gem. They don’t take credit cards so bring cash, or go to the ATM across the street first.

This place is full of rustic charm. You can tell that it has been around for a while. That being said, the service was amazing and super friendly. I got the Combination Omelette with a side of hash browns and sourdough toast. All the food was great tasting and hot when it came out and the coffee had great flavor too.

Had a lovely breakfast here. A really nice greasy spoon cafe. Id recommend the biscuits and gravy if they’re serving if. I’d be a regular here if I lived nearby.

Small diner with very local feel and great service. It may not look like much from the outside but this high desert cafe is a time machine to the past.
The decor and layout is mid-century cafe with what looks like all original furnishings. Maybe reupholstered sometime during the Carter Administration, it is nostalgic without trying to be. Food is good without pretension or much flair, but this isn’t that type of restaurant; burgers, breakfasts, comfort food.
What sets this little cafe apart was the service; welcoming without being sappy or fake. Great little spot.

Midway Cafe is a pretty average spot overall. It’s a decent place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch, and the menu has the usual diner-style options—eggs, pancakes, burgers, sandwiches. The food is okay, but nothing really stands out. It gets the job done if you’re hungry, but don’t expect anything too memorable.
Service is usually friendly, though sometimes a bit slow if it’s busy. The place has a small-town, casual vibe, which is nice, but the atmosphere can feel a little dated. It could use a refresh to feel more inviting.
Not a bad option if you’re nearby and need a simple meal, but it wouldn’t be my first choice if I had other options. Just a middle-of-the-road experience all around.
