Great neighborhood spot, I’ve had their salads, impossible burger, tilapia wrap, buffalo shrimp and turkey burger so far. I usually go for lunch but have ordered take out too. Staff has always been friendly, service is quick but not rushed, overall it has a very chill vibe.

I'm not sure how someone can mess up french toast, but it was disgusting.

Mediocre food, this place is clearly just for having beers. I got a simple avocado toast and the bread was stale and came with prepackaged guacamole and hard tater tots. The atmosphere is really cold and loud, smells not so fresh. They advertise as being dog friendly but be advised that is only for service dogs...

You just CAN'T go wrong here at Race St Cafe.Each time I've gone here the time has been great. The food is cooked and served in a timely manner and the drafted ciders areunseemly.There's this blueberry flavored out of Bethlehem, Pa that is delicious.No res's needed just walk in and first come, first served.The menu changes sometimes so don't get used to your favorites. The same for your favorite local beers and ciders. They change here and there.The bathrooms are downstairs so hold on to rails because the steps are steep and drinks are served, lol.There're baby changing stations in them as well and the bathrooms are clean and unsmelly. I was just here again for my umt-teenth time and I had another great time with friends that feel the same way.

Really not big on leaving bad or semi-bad reviews. Service during the day is not the best especially the young gentleman who will not introduce himself he will just come up and say what do you want and then you have to count on flagging the other waiters down for the rest of the time. Tortellini in blushvsauce with chicken you will only get four pieces of tortellini and you were extremely lucky to get five and you'll leave very hungry. Ordering a jack and ginger? You will get a shot of Jack and a huge pint glass of ginger ale l. I guess you have to ask for it mixed as a drink?

None of our food came out fresh or appetizing! Probably due to the apparent understaffing, which also unfortunately caused for terrible customer service. Trying to create intricate meals with cheap products and cheap labor while selling it as if it’s high value.

Excellent dinner and service on NYE. The two ladies working the tables were cheerful, helpful, attentive and worked well as a team! We chose the pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich, each came with a side of fries. Fries were crisp and tasty. Brisket was super tender on a toasted crusty roll giving an excellent texture contrast. Pulled pork sandwich was large, but balanced, with a good flavor and pull on the pork. Good selection of beers on draught including an excellent cider. Leans a little heavy on Pale Ales/IPAs, but there was at least one choice for other common styles. Beautiful atmosphere and design, did the most with the little space they have. I'm glad we stopped in. If we're in the area again we'll be sure to visit.

Stopped for brunch one Saturday morning and ordered the huevos rancheros. Not sure the chef knew what it was as I got a plate containing a fried egg wrapped in a flour tortilla, no beans or rice. Just a handful of tater tots. FFS! We're adults, people. Tots are for...TOTS and not adults. Only thing that redeemed themselves was a good beer list.
