Small town cafes always seem to have the same homey, family friendly atmosphere, and the Victory Café has all of these qualities. Most importantly, the food is good, plentiful, the right price, and they will tweak and substitute some of the menu offering, at least for breakfast.

We spent the day in Galena recently, and were looking for a great place for breakfast/lunch. We stopped at The Victory Cafe and were so glad we did! From the first welcome and hello, to the food and service, great quality and very engaged staff. A true bright spot! Laurie Benson

With that, we were not disappointed. I had ribs that were very tasty along with some very good beans and fries. If you try the Victory... More

Food was ok but a worker in the restaurant was mopping from a smelly bucket while we ate so it was a disappointing lunch.

Stopped for lunch at the Victory Cafe, and was very pleased and satisfied. I had the pork tenderlion sandwich, and my girlfriend had the meatloaf plate. My tenderloin was moist and the bun was perfectly toasted. I had a taste of the meatloaf and it was very, very good. I highly recomend the Victory Cafe. I know that Patti and... More

Victory Cafe in Historic Galena has the best breakfast in town! Family owned, great service, fresh food and DELICIOUS! Don't miss the cinnamon french toast, biscuits and gravy and good old fashioned eggs any way you like them.

When you see the word Cafe in the name it might make you think that the food would be hot and fresh but average in taste, at least that's what we expected. The special was a traditional pastie plate with a side of coleslaw. Wow, the pastie crust was flaky and tasty but the real treat was the gravy, Homemade... More
