We were told to get here before 9am or you would be waiting. We got there by 8:30 and walked right in. Lou was very pleasant and kept things moving. We were v. pleased with our breakfast that we went back for lunch. We had a 20 min. wait but it was well worth it! The shrimp corn chowder was... More

I visited Shea's Café in April with my wife, niece, her husband and 2 kids. The only reason I went was due to the great reviews I read everywhere about them. Well...let me tell you, everyone is right! I visited them twice during my stay and both times I left truly satisfied. The food was just so fresh, delicious, great... More

I tried this place on a tip from one of my daughter's co workers. The menu is extensive, the portions enormous, and the price very reasonable. Service is great and the manager keeps the often long waiting line moving turing around tables as fast as possible. You cant go wrong with this place. I have driven past it thousands of... More

You will not find a better place to eat for breakfast or lunch. The owner Lou is the nicest, friendliest host ever. My wife and I were traveling thru again, and he remembered us from last time. I highly recommend any french toast, pancakes and the hot roast beef on provolone for lunch. Every portion is large, delicious and reasonably... More

Knowing there is usually a waiting line, we decided to move our visit from our departure day (Saturday) to Thursday. We arrived about 10:00 am and there was no one ahead of us. We got the next available table-maybe a 10 minute wait. They are very efficient at clearing the tables and moving them around to accommodate small and larger... More

What's supposed to be a 30-40min wait (so he said) turned out to be 1 hr. and 15 mins. It was too late to backout, obviously. Place was small, thus the long wait. Portions were huge. We ordered corned beef sandwich, steak and eggs and a short stack of pancakes. The sandwhich was a stand-out because of the mustard (not... More

My boyfriend and I are self proclaimed foodies and are always looking for a new place to try out. We both... More

Yes there is always a wait of some sort, but everyone waits because it's worth it. Great service, clean and inviting. The food is super fresh, delicious and the portions are large if not downright enormous.

Wonderful food! Everything is fresh and delicious. Wait staff are friendly and helpful. The place is cozy and clean. What more could you want? Word of warning though, even a short stack of pancakes will fill you up. They are large and light,and fluffy,but very filling. I understand the weekends are very crowded,and I can see why. Excellent value.
