Then going to Western Café for many years and always enjoyed it, but my latest experience was very disappointed. The food was horrible in presentation and in taste.

Dining at West End Cafe never disappoints. The menu is well balanced with creative food groupings and delicious recipes. The server was friendly, experienced , knowledgeable and checked in with us the right amount of times. My favorite all American dish was the lollipop lamb chops!!

Service was good, although we had to ask the manager for salt and pepper, and ketchup took the waiter some time to bring. I have been to this restaurant many times, but felt the food was just mediocre and not the usual very good. The parfait was cut down in size from previous visits. I was there with a friend celebrating special birthdays. We would not allow these small matters ruin our time together (friends for over 50 years!) Overall, good experience but not as good as I have experienced in the past.

Didn’t love the tiny chopped chicken salad. It was kind of dry but the waitress was great and I genuinely like this place for lunch
