This place is a low key eatery for locals with very little frills and thrills. Three out of five stars for this “average” place, a rating of good food and decent service. I might give it a higher rating if it didn’t seem like the staff forgot they sat us or didn’t know who was helping our table.The steak and cheese sandwich was on a hotdog bun, which the meet and cheese tasted great. But the presentation seemed to be lacking. I would have even taken toasted sliced bread over a hot dog bun. Call me picky, but that’s my personal opinion. I must admit the onion rings were the best part of the meal. They were the kind that were crispy, not greasy, and the onion stayed in the breading.The Buffalo wings? I wish they were a little crispier on the the outside. They were just missing that nice outside crust and lacking a bit on the sauce factor.I don’t think they have refills on sodas and non water beverages. I believe they are a la carte, but not mentioned anywhere to my knowledge.Would I be willing to try this place again? Sure. Willing to try something else and give it another shot.

The food is good BUT it took 1 hour and 20 minutes to bring it... all of it was freaking COLD... i had people over i felt so embarrassed that i had to serve them cold food... if you can't deliver on time just DON'T take the order simple as that...

What a hidden gem of a restaurant! Why call it a cafe? Next door is Starbucks and that's a cafe with coffee & desserts. I personally feel that the desserts are better here at the American Cafe. This place serves up great casual comfort food. Many daily specials posted on their blackboards. Best of both worlds right next door to each other and so near the AMC Theater. I was very impressed with the quality of their breakfast entrees and especially their coffee. Nice rich, strong cup of java with a hot well made breakfast always makes me happy! I heard this place was good and yes it is. Check out my pictures and the relaxing eclectic ambience. Service is friendly and polite. Tables outside too but I prefer to be inside. Happy Eating and I'll see you around the tables for a brunch movie date on some lazy weekend!
Yummy food! Were recommended this place by a “local”. Haven’t tried too much on the menu yet, but the burritos are very good.

Stopped in after touring Garvies Point Museum and Preserve. The three of us all choose different sandwiches and loved them. Staff very friendly and accommodating. We left wishing we did not live so far away so we could frequent the American Cafe on a frequent basis.

Looking for a place for lunch and found the American Cafe which is a storefront restaurant. Huge menu featuring a lot of Latin specialties.Asked the owner what he recommended and stated the burgers. I tried the Buffalo Style Burger with lettuce, buffalo sauce, blue cheese. My wife chose the Fried Egg Burger with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and cheddar. Both were very good.If you are in Glen Cove at lunch time, you must try the American Cafe.

Staff is wonderful. Excellent food ,fairly priced and large potions! My friends and I have tried quite a few dishes,working our way through the menu, and have never not had a good meal. Italian food as it should be.
