The catering was wonderful, recently ordered luncheon for 120 people, delivery on time, well presented and food was terrific. Thank you for making this so very easy. Oh and the banana cream pie was so very delicious!

Your best bet for a good breakfast, reasonably priced. They do have some counter seating as well as an ample dining room.. I'm not a fan of their coffee. Servers are always friendly.

One of my favorite places in freeport! And one of my favorite breakfast places in the country! Love the price for the quantity. The service, coffee, friendly atmosphere (even when busy or slow), and taste create an all around quality experience. 100% recommend.

Great food at fantastic prices. Best bisquits and gravy anywhere. If you want to try the biscuits and gravy be sure to get there early because when they run out, that's it . All done, no more.

We stop in the Beltline Cafe on our way to Galena and are NEVER disappointed! It's the Cafe that time forgot because their prices are from the 60's. I order the #3 which consist of 2 eggs, hash browns, toast and your choice of sausage/Bacon or ham. I get the sausage patty which is the SIZE of my HAND !!! And the taste is delicious and all this for 6.50! That is not a typo, 6.50!! The service is great , the people are kind and the only negative I can come up with is we live to damn far to enjoy this place more often. I sure wish the owner would share their secrets with the rest of the world on how to provide such values for practically nothing! What a gem of a place!

I went here today and it was delicious. The pancakes were homemade and the service was amazing. The drinks were good and I couldn’t finish my food because it was so big
