2 thumbs up.. 5 � food
Me and my son love having breakfast here,and the staff is very welcoming. Great food and it's just around the corner.
Visited this place with some coworkers for lunch. This is a very popular location at lunch time (closes at 3:30pm) but it does seem like most people get their food to go. The restaurant is clean and there is lots of seating for big groups too. Many of the Cuban restaurants have limited seating so that was a nice benefit. There doesn't seem like much parking but people park along the side of the pass through street nearby. As for the food, don't let the menu fool you although it only shows sandwiches you can get a meal with things like roast pork and rice and beans. They give you plenty of food and the price is cheap. I got a large Cuban sandwich (believe me it's a ton of meat) and a side of rice and beans for $7.50. They used American cheese instead of Swiss and the meat wasn't very warm. However it tasted good still. The yellow rice and black beans were very good.
Wow! This cafe was a very pleasant surprise! Try not to judge this book by its cover. The area isn't too hot, but... The food was delicious and our service was friendly. Palm River Cafe serves authentic Cuban food for breakfast and lunch. Plus, they cater, too. The potatoes were well-seasoned. The toast is Cuban bread. The eggs were made to order, and the protein was our choice. The grits were buttery and cheesy, just how we like them. The Cafe Con Leche coffee was so delicious! The prices are a resonable value for the money. Portion sizes are large. My hubby and I were able to share one breakfast, and we were stuffed! Overall, our experience here was very pleasant. As always, my company ROCKS! I LOVE MY GORGEOUS HUSBAND 😍 💗
We used to get Cubans as take out from a restaurant that closed a couple years ago. We tried a bunch of different places with no luck. Then I ran across the Palm River Cafe and Catering. Their Classic Cuban Sandwich is delicious. We'll be going back whenever we're in the mood for Cubans. Great place!
My wife and I came here yesterday to get some lunch. Everything was just so delicious and flavorful. The service was fast and so friendly. I enjoyed my visit, when we are back in town we will certainly visit again.
If you are looking for authentic, delicious, Cuban food at low prices, this is your cafe! I ordered the chicken quarter, black beans and rice, and yucca. Everything was warm, tasty and delicious! The chicken was very moist. My order was take out and my take out box is now empty, except for the bones.
I can't wait to go back!
Great food, taste, price. cheaper than fast food chain shix.
The Wonderful Ladies here made me feel right at home.And the food I had was by far the best I've eaten since I've been here! A must try!!!
The friendly staff always has a smile for you when you arrive. I swap between the breakfast platter and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Both are great starts to your day. I know they have a good lunch menu but I have not had the opportunity to try it out yet. Worth the stop if you are in the area.
This place is fantastic! With real cooks in the back and excellent customer service, this is a place where the reviews do no justice. You must visit to experience the great foods they offer!
My wife loves their chicken soup, and if she is happy so am I.
A weekly stop for lunch. Everything is great including the employees!
