Horseshoe Cafe

Stopped here on our way home in October 2021 to grab a bite. The food was pretty good. Service was good and waitress very friendly. I prefer zucchini fries or wedges rather than medallions but the fried chicken in our wrap and sandwich was chicken breast and very moist. Wish we would’ve had room to try their pies but we were so full! Would definitely try the pie next time!

First let me start out by saying, my apologies for taking so long to get to this review. It was almost a year ago that Rob and I went and spent a weekend here in Benson. We had a wonderful time. We were walking down 4th, looking in all the windows of the shops because by this time, Covid was making everything practically impossible to get into but that didn't stop us. We walked by and spoke to someone who came out of the tattoo shop, great parlor by the way, and came up to the Horseshoe Cafe and Bakery. It was one thing to stand outside peering in the windows but when we opened the door and walked in, I was taken back. The beautiful wood that holds itself strong in design is absolutely amazing and the Staff it employs is something to be envious of. We were seated in a large booth in the back that was nice and private where we talked in awe of our choice to dine. Our servers name was Melissa, (hey Melissa!!) and she was absolutely amazing herself. She offered suggestions, brought out sauces for me to try, and joined in with a joke or two. Rob ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken, if I remember correctly, and I ordered the Rueben. SO delicious!! The bread was grilled to a buttery crisp and the onion rings were done just right. Not mushy like alot of places serve them. Yuck! After we ate, Rob surprised me when he wanted to bring back with us to our hotel room, a dessert. This was the biggest piece of cake that I have ever seen!! Unfortunately I can't remember the name,...I want to say Butterum, Butter Scotch, or maybe it was a Carrot Cake,....? It's been too long, but I have pictured of this bad boy and you'll know exactly which one I mean when you stop in for a meal. You can't miss it. Oh,...and please tell Melissa that Rob and Pamela say hi. I don't know if she'll remember us, so just tell her that we were the ones who took pictures of every step of the cutting of that big delicious cake! 😛😛 P.S. We couldn't close the container we put the cake in...haha We had to smash it it there. Hahaha

I had breakfast here, country fried steak hash browns eggs over easy and English muffin. I would have had rye toast but they didn't have any rye but I won't hold that against them. Service was good, friendly, and courteous. This place was clean, I think it was a bit on the pricey side. For my breakfast along with a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice was $20 so by the time you get out of there you're talking $24 for one person. For breakfast seems a bit much but that may not have been so bad if I had left off the orange juice but I have to have orange juice with breakfast. All in all a good place, if you're in the area looking for a decent breakfast I would go here.

Maybe it was just an off day, I don't know. We went in for breakfast with high hopes but unfortunately were disappointed with the food. The atmosphere is wonderful, very cute small town vibe and filled with history. The young lady at the front could stand to be more friendly or smile if she's to be the greeter. Our waitress was lovely, very friendly and on top of her job not just at our table but at all her others as well. We'll give lunch a try sometime and see if perhaps we just got unlucky. Not ready to give up on it yet.

My husband and I had breakfast at the Horseshoe Cafe for the very first time about two months ago and we've eaten there several times since because it's a reasonably priced, cozy place that serves absolutely delicious food! We were immediately charmed by the beautiful, welcoming, and cozy atmosphere inside and outside the cafe. There's even a nice patio out front! The service is great; the staff is friendly and attentive. Besides the wonderful food and staff, this place also has a lot of super cool history, artwork and neat antique items throughout the café. Whether you live in the area or are passing through, this eatery is a true gem!
