Never Again.
I spent $70 at TPS Cafe and walked out with a stomachache and a grudge.
First of all, the fries — dry, weirdly burnt, and completely unseasoned. Not even salt. How do you even mess that up? Then came the so-called Italian subs — two of them — both with bologna and mayo that we didn’t ask for (side-note-you ask for cheese and pay $2 like you’re paying for extra) . Excuse me? I don’t know what part of Italy that’s from, but I’ve never seen bologna on an Italian sub in my life. They looked so unappetizing we didn’t even touch them.
Out of the entire meal, the only things we managed to eat was one mozzarella stick (and even that tasted off) and a pickle. A single, sad little pickle. That’s what our $70 boiled down to.
I tried, I really did. But between the bland food, sketchy ingredients, and the fact that our appetites vanished the moment we opened the containers, we were done.
Never again. Save your money, your taste buds, and your dignity. TPS Cafe is not it.
The lemonade was actually good — but not $70 good. Also if you would like to know the prices online are completely different from what they actually are, so you think you’re paying like $30, you’re actually paying $70
Update: added salt to the fries myself

I intentionally chose foods on the bland side to share with a ten month old baby. The French toast was delicious with lots of butter and syrup, and on the soft side (which is what I wanted). The plain scrambled eggs were what I expected from plain scrambled eggs. I could’ve skipped the home fries – I found them dry and bland with very few crispy bits to redeem them. The softness of the chunks worked for the baby, but I want more texture and flavor in my potatoes. But it was an affordable and filling breakfast, good service and no complaints about the setting other than the high chair was missing a strap.

I am vacationing in the area and this my 1st time to this gem of a diner. I had meal on front deck, which was beautifully setup and had radiant flowers. The service was excellent. I had French toast, bacon, and scrambled eggs. A perfectly prepared meal. I will definitely be going back soon. Highly recommend!

We were in the area to hike up to the fire tower and this was the perfect casual diner for lunch afterwards. I definitely recommend it if you are passing through and crave a burger, reuben, grill cheese or other traditional diner fare. Staff were very friendly too.

Love this place!!! Such a treat to eat here. Large portion sizes made to perfection. They’re extremely flexible to requests. Waitresses are very friendly and attentive. Food comes fast. Overall fantastic experience.
Cash only, but they have an ATM inside.

This was my first time here. Came around this area for a weekend getaway and this restaurant seemed like a decent place to go get breakfast. The food and service were great. I got the full stack pancakes, which served 6 medium sized but thin.

Listen, my cheeseburger was very tasty. I would order it again. Good folks and good diner atmosphere. I’d go again. But those fries. Burnt, tiny, and tasteless. Enjoy the food, I bet breakfast is great, just don’t order the French fries, especially at $4.95 (!) to add them as a side. Take the chips.

Busy Labor Day weekend. Had a small wait, but nothing to crazy. It was good, delicious and great atmosphere. Our waitress particularly was friendly. Thank you.

Quick stop for coffee and breakfast on my way home. Staff was friendly and attentive, food was perfectly made and the portions for the price are incredible! If I lived closer this would be a daily haunt, and it seems like it is for the community. Good food at good prices; it was crowded but it didn’t seem like anyone had to wait. Everyone seemed to know each other: definitely feels like a well appreciated spot.

About what you would expect from a small market cafe ( not that small town means it has to be bad service or food- there are great places nearby). Here we found average food and coffee. Wait server was rude as others have noted and forgot part of my lunch order but charged me for it. All in all the review could have been much more positive had the wait staff just been slightly pleasant.
