Great experience at the Cortez Cafe. The staff were all very friendly and accommodated a large group of us. The French dip was amazing. The meat was so tender and then flavor was perfect. My daughter loved the Mickey Mouse pancake and sausage. The French toast was also amazing. The size of the omelets were big. 10/10 recommend.

This place lives up to its high rating my waitress was excellent chili cheese omelette was very tasty although I wish it had a little more chili on it highly recommended place to stop another thing I liked is the fact they have artisanal quality bread. The sourdough with my omelette was fantastic.

The breakfast here was amazing! Great portions and price. You know you’re at a good spot when the locals construction workers are there. The vibe was very small town diner. Cute, cozy and maybe a bit outdated. It added to the charm though.

Another annual stop for me and another treat that says to my soul "I'm on vacation". This year I ordered an omelette that was not on the menu and our server was so sweet and patient with me. Then when we were leaving she offered to put our waters in to-go cups because she knew we were walking and it was hot out. Terrific service and tasty food at a reasonable price.

Adorable cafe that is the perfect spot for breakfast! We were able to get right in. Almost every table was already full! The portions were perfect, and the food was homestyle with unique twists on classic items. I enjoyed the veggie omelet, my mom had eggs, and my sister had french toast. The prices were good and the wait staff were friendly and efficient.

Small little place with good food and friendly service. I had the banana nut waffle, hubby had the country fried steak breakfast and kids had waffles. Hubbys was by far the best. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the waffle. But it was good. Just not great. But I tasted my husbands and it was really good! Eggs were great, steak was great, and grits were great.

Great breakfast place . A lot of local people here and I had a Philly steak omelette was just the best . Cheesy corn grits absolutely wonderful . You will not be disappointed by the service and the quality of the food. Little bit of a laid-back atmosphere and country Charm

Absolutely loved this place! The food was very good and fresh and the service was wonderful too. Very much like a small hometown restaurant. We took 2 kids and they were very kind to them. The food was large portions and tasted very good! We look forward to visiting again.
