First visit impressions. It's cozy and popular. The staff was great. I had the Half B&G with egg & hash. Hash browns: 5 stars, best I've had in a long time. Gravy: 4 stars, obviously sausage not mystery meat. Egg: 4 stars, it's hard to mess up scrambled eggs. Biscuit: 0 stars, seriously ... HALF a biscuit!?!? most places a half order of B&G is one biscuit.
Review Source:This used to be my FAVORITE spot in Noblesville. Â The owner has a real gift for mixing unusual sandwich ingredients for a surprisingly tasty result, and I'm not even a sandwich fan. Â However, a recent menu change left me unmotivated... Â Two of my favorites are off the menu, prices went up, and chips are now extra. Â I'll probably try again, but currently feeling a little deflated.
Review Source:I have been to Uptown Cafe several times for breakfast and lunch and have never been disappointed. Recently we hired them to make desserts for our wedding. The desserts were amazing! The wedding guests loved everything and so did my husband and I. We had cookies, cupcakes, mini pumpkin pies and mousse cups. The cookies were my favorite! Everything was amazing and the prices were great. The help we received from during the planning was also amazing. I can't wait to go back for breakfast and more cookies.
Review Source:Were they having a bad day? I don't know. The place is cute. The people who work there are rednecks. They seem nice but they were inattentive. Maybe you have to be a regular to get better service. The pancakes I got were not cooked enough. Still doughy in the middle. Doubt I will go back.
Review Source:WOW! What a little hidden gem. Why didn't I find this place sooner? Had a delicious lunch today. The special was a cuban sandwich, the owner had cooked a bacon-wrapped tenderloin and shaved it for the sandwich. Also had some potato chowder which did not disappoint. Will definitely be back!
Review Source:We had a nice breakfast here. Their menu is a bit small, but they had 3 fall specials. I had the fall burrito which was stuffed with hash browns, sweet potatoes, apples, etc. We also had the peanut butter pancakes which were pancakes with a peanut butter spread and the Uptown scramble. We sat at the counter and it was fun to watch the cooking.
Review Source:This was my first time at this cafe. My wife and I went with an old friend who had dined here several times. We went for breakfast and were delighted. It is cozy and open with not a lot of seating. They were full, but we received a booth quickly(lucky timing). The seating was tight, but not uncomfortable. The menu looked delicious and interesting. I went for the biscuits and gravy, which was recommended by my friend, with hash browns and 1 egg added. The coffee was very, very good and always topped off quickly by the staff. Our food arrived with only a short wait. The kinda wait you would expect(and want) from a meal prepared from fresh ingredients when you order. BTW the cooking area is visible from the dining area and we watched our meal being prepared.
I will state for the record that I am a biscuit & gravy fan. BIG FAN. I order it. I make it. I crave it. I seek it out! LOL Uptown Cafe B&G was amazing. Perhaps the best I have ever had. Even better than mom's. The presentation was nice. Served in a large crock with 1 large biscuit that filled most of the crock, leaving just enough room for the perfect amount of gravy. You will not run out of gravy before the biscuit is gone. The gravy was light on the sausage which usually disappoints me, but the flavor was so perfect I didn't miss it at all. It had a nice sausage flavor that was just slightly sweet. Very slight though. Just perfect. Not greasy or oily and tasted very fresh. The biscuit was great also. Perfect in my opinion. Nothing unusual in the flavor profile. Hash was... well perfect. (please forgive my over use of the word perfect, but it just fits well for this meal.) Not greasy either which is hard to do, but still juicy and flavorful. The egg I ordered over easy which lately seems hard to find a good over easy egg. Again not greasy as usual and just... perfect.
The other two in my group were just as happy with their breakfast as I was. The price seemed a little cheap to me. That is not something I say lightly. We all were full and fulfilled and the check was mid $30's. Service was just right and I left with a new favorite breakfast joint!
Third time here and it didn't fail to please. In a grilled cheese mood and it was served with a choice of cheeses but only one bread. It was a big Texas toast piece of bread, but it would be nice to have some bread choices since they make several kinds of bread here daily. I guess I should have asked for choices but mommy always served my grilled cheese one way and I had to take it and like it.
Tried the home made scones today and the ginger was made with candied giner and was delicious and oh-so ginery. Why don't I get things with ginger in them more often? It's so good and always makes me think of my ginger snaps and milk as a child. My roommate makes brussells sprouts with candied ginger and they're so good! Alan, the baker there, told us that Pizzology in Carmel now serves a brussells sprouts pizza and I need to check that out. But I digress. The scones were not the perfectly triangular ones you see at a lot of bakeries, but rather, they were lumpy and uneven which was great since the lumps that stuck out got crunch to contrast with the smooth interier. The orange cranberry scone was great too, served with butter and wamed up.
The only reason I'm changing it from 5 stars to 4 stars is that the menu is getting limiting after only 3 visits. They do have a daily special, today it was fish tacos and some fish soup and I'm not a fish fan, so they were wasted on me.
Still I haven't tried breakfast here yet, which I must. I'm jonesin' for some pancake action.
Travis, the server is very good. Works every table and doesn't miss a trick. Knows his food ingredients quickly off the top of his head. Very attentive and friendly.
This place was wonderful! Â The service was excellent. Â The waitress was attentive to all of her tables. Â Either the table had a hidden microphone, or she had some kind of waitress ESP, because she brought over a box for my food, and the check right when they were needed.
The portions were big, and since everything is made when you order, they can accomodate lots of requests. Â The hash browns were something that you dream about...
They have thick-sliced toast that they toast on the grill with butter - yummy!
The menu is short, but what they do they do well. Â This is a wonderful little diner and we will definitely be going back!
as other reviewers mentioned, this is a small, independently-owned breakfast/lunch diner on the noblesville square. good food. good service. lots of charm. reasonable prices. might be tough to get a table during prime time saturday/sunday breakfast hours. haven't eaten here for lunch, only breakfast. menu is not huge but there's something for everyone. biscuits and gravy - yummm!
Review Source:In the 16 years I have lived in Noblesville, in that time the Uptown has had many incarnation's. The bottom line is the place has not changed much, new paint & wallpaper maybe, but it's the same today as it was then. The latest owners seem to have found what works. It is simple food,it's the basic with a twist. I do believe that the cook could almost wait on the tables with out stepping from the grill, not really but the room is small! Â The food is fresh and very tasty, fixed when you order not on a steamer waiting for you!
Remember to eat well and live well! And please no chain's!
Loved it. It's a small hole-in-the-wall as the other reviews mentioned - but every bit of it oozes with charm. One waitress manned the entire place, but she was rockin' it. Prices were very reasonable - I ordered the biscuit breakfast sandwich - eggs, bacon, cheese ham, home fries all piled atop a biscuit. Delicious. I believe it was less than $7. They were also incredibly accommodating to my 5-year-old dining companion - creating something special that wasn't on the children's menu. Â Will go back again and again.
Review Source:This is a small town independently owned restaurant. As such, the service might be fantastic, or it might be so busy the service is lacking. However, it's always worth going. Inconsistency is one of the great things about small restaurants, as opposed to identical experiences from cookie-cutter franchises.
They have a biscuits & gravy meal that is totally unique - creamy and kind of sweet. B&G fans should definitely give it a try! Their coffee is excellent, their portions are large, and their baked goods are out of this world. They know how to make hash browns exactly right, too.
Their coffee was very good but I couldn't drink it for awhile because the waitress neglected to bring me a spoon to stir in the sugar and cream. Â It was so strong it took 3 sugars and 3 half and halves to cut through it. Â I was really in a late breakfast mood and their breakfast menu didn't say it wasn't available all day so it was a disappointment to find I couldn't order from it. Â
The booth was a very tight fit--not enough room between the seat and the table. Â Maybe they only expect skinny young people to eat there. Â It was hard for me to read the menu because they had it pressed under the glass table top so I couldn't hold it in a position to see it well. Â
I just didn't see anything that grabbed me on the lunch menu. Â I love soup, but their only soup was corn chowder, the only one I don't like. Â I ended up only having the coffee, which raised my blood sugar level enough to kill my hunger pangs (it was mid-afternoon), and I didn't end up eating (at all) till about 7:30 pm. Â
Oh, and she showed no interest in offering me a refill on the $2 cup of coffee, even though that was the only thing I was having. Â Compare that to the restaurants who bring you a pitcher of coffee, not just a cup, so you can refill your own cup as needed.
