Met a friend for lunch today. It was my first time there, and I will definitely be back. I had a Mediterranean wrap. It was fresh and super tasty! Our server was outstanding. I'm embarrassed I don't remember her name, though. Well done, Cafe 20!

Unfortunately the quality depends on how you are getting your food. When you are eating in the food is always been top notch. The only issue is that it takes a VERY long time and is probably not a good place to eat with small kids. I avoid going out to eat here for that reason. And unfortunately when trying to get the out the quality lacks. Extensively. Burnt ribs. Moldy salads. Any complaint is met with combative workers. Mind you this isn’t the first time we have had an issue with take out. I’ve been working in the service industry for over 10 years and I still can’t figure this place out. So in short, the food is awesome if you have a few hours to eat in, just don’t get take out here.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu but the time frame is NOT kid friendly

First of all everybody that worked there seem like they were extremely angry second of all the place was packed and every single table everybody had their jackets on and hoodies and hats some even had a earmuffs on It was so cold in there when I got my chili it was hot within the next couple minutes it was cold before I could even finish it It took our waitress about 10 minutes to light the candle we had on our table concerned the fact it is Valentine's Day The only time we seen her was when she came to get the money when we paid the bill except for one other time before that when she refilled our waters finally It's sad cuz we really like this place but the service always sucks so we probably won't go back ever again!! Again it's pretty said I've been eating at this place for at least the last 15 years on and off It used to be real good I just wish people actually enjoyed their jobs and I also wish people that worked at this restaurant were just nice to people cuz they probably would come back and not even think about putting a comment like this and I barely ever put comments like just about restaurants but it was like this last couple times we ate there we keep giving it another shot but we probably won't again....

We stopped to celebrate Valentine's Day one day early. The inside was nicely decorated for Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras. They a really good Rum Punch. I had the Broasted Chicken with side salad and baked potatoes. My wife had the Turkey Club Sandwich. All were very good. Our waitress was friendly and made the very good rum punch!

This is a great little joint most of the time. It fills up fast so make sure you come early. The staff has always been great. The food is sometimes a hit or a miss. I came in for the fish fry and it was extremely salty ( please note :that this is the first time this has ever happened, but it burned the throat it was so bad, it was both the cod and walleye). That being said I've had the walleye sandwich on a normal day and that has always been good. I've had the salmon great flavor and delicious. The rosé gnocchi is rich and indulgent, a must for a cold winter day. The broasted chicken is delicious too. If you like German food I highly recommend going when they have their German specials ( the schnitzel and bratwurst sampler were very good. The chopped steak is a must try too, very good with mashed potatoes. Unfortunately the vegetable sandwich needs some work, it's overly greasy and some of the vegetables need to be cooked longer.
