Arcade Cafe - Paxton, Illinois

The best restaurant breakfast I have ever had! The food was all high quality and “real” unlike some breakfast places. The portions were also HUGE! I ate the Paxton Skillet and the kiddos had pancakes with eggs, bacon and sausage! Definitely worth the drive! The place was also very clean and well kept for a small place! The waitresses were very friendly. Highly recommend!

This happened the other day i called to ordered food right away the young lady on the phone was just very rude. I get it she might’ve been busy so I let that slide. I ordered my food and hung up. My fiancé went to go get my food and he didn’t know everything I ordered he paid and grabbed our food. Our entire order was messed up and they forgot to give us a bunch of things. When I called I talked to the girl again and she again was so rude I didn’t even accept the call when they called back to refund me because I was truly just over it. I never had an experience like this here before I love eating here but I definitely will be slowing down coming now.

I am a regular customer of the Arcade Cafe because the food, service and ambiance are excellent! There are so many menu options. I get to switch it up every time I stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The soups are delicious. They have the good bacon! Their hamburgers are top notch.

I highly recommend this family owned and operated restaurant. They're open 7 days per week.

The club, the soup, the salads, the kids meal! The entire family's lunch was delicious and reasonably priced. Plus, we all had leftovers!

Wish I had seen the "best when hungover and hungry" review before we went in or left when the mold smell hit me....... Server came over to take our order, drop the food and then only came back to ask if we wanted boxes. I told her the food was disgusting. She took it away and brought our $20 check without uttering even an attempt at "sorry". Won't be returning. Couldn't even get the gravy right. No seasoning and it sticks to your fork even when it is sideways! The biscuits were drowning in the slop!

On the way home from Chicago Airport and needed a place to eat. Let's be fair here and note the facts: I'm tired, been on a long flight, emotional, and ready to be out of an u comfortable truck. With that being said, it shouldn't take a phone call asking the person where the heck their restaurant is located. Google maps kept saying I had arrived and I just wasn't seeing it. The diner lacks advertising on their building. Strike one! The server was very friendly and appeared to enjoy her work. I ordered spaghetti with chicken parmesan, salad, and garlic bread. The hubby got a cheeseburger ans fries, and my mom got a BLT with cole slaw. My husband said his food was delicious and it really did look appetizing. My mom's sandwich was barley a BLT because it only had 1 strip of bacon folded in half in each side of the sandwich. That's just cruel and unjust to do that to any sandwich! Lol. My spaghetti plate was enough to serve 3 people! The cook deep fried the chicken in too hot oil for sure. It was very crispy, almost to the burnt point. At the end of day, this is a very small town restaurant where everyone knows everyone and they come back because the service and food. They have a bar here too, along with some gambling games. For three meals the cost was under $35.

Negative stars for service and food, if you ever get either. 1st time service took 45 minutes and food came out cold. Tried weeks later thinking it could only get better. NOT. After 1 hour, I finally got only my breakfast, finished it and my wife never got her order. We asked and asked. Upon leaving, we went to complain to the manager/ mom, who was eating at the counter. We were shocked to see her eating the very breakfast that was unique to my wife's order. When we complained, we were yelled at by the staff. Never ever saw anything like this before.
