Cable Cafe

Excellent lunch served slowly.  Six of us stopped here for lunch.  No problem getting a table, but, as the other reviewers have pointed out...  The kitchen isn't speedy and there are signs posted in the restaurant that everything is made to order.  Took about 30 minutes to get our entire order.  It was worth the wait.  The chicken sandwiches and burgers were great.  The soup wasn't noteworthy.  I want to come back for breakfast and try the biscuits and gravy.

Stopped in after a rainy paddle down the river. Pretty busy at 11am on Sunday but my GF and I found a seat at the bar. Friendly wait staff and everything is made to order. We had to wait 30min or so for food, but when it arrived it was delicious. I had french toast and my GF had the veggie omelet. I liked the f-toast but I wish I would have gotten the omelet. So many vegetables in there - yum. My GF loved it. I hear they use free range eggs, too!

I saw that they use organic spinach in a salad for lunch time. They also have gluten free bread. Some nice surprises in this small cafe.

If you have been to the Brickhouse in Cable many times and suggest you switch it up and visit the Cable Cafe.

Cable Cafe is a fairly unassuming spot - they're located next to a service station and they are only open for breakfast and lunch. It's mostly a locals spot and easy to pass by as you come in or out of town. Inside, it's a tiny, basic diner with seating for maybe 30 people. Bathrooms are accessed from the outside.

Don't come here executing fancypants eggs Benedict, or creme brûlée French toast. You're going to get solid, well prepared breakfast and lunch classics like fried eggs, pancakes and turkey sandwiches. They make it all to order, so don't expect that you'll be in and out in 10 minutes, especially if they are busy. Prices are reasonable and portions are very generous.

My tip - their biscuits and gravy is truly outstanding. It's a homemade gravy that's full of sausage and very peppery. You might be tempted to order the 2 biscuit order but one is  HUGE and definitely enough. A friend made the mistake of getting two once, ate it all (because it was so good) and paid dearly for his gluttony all that day.
