Talk of the Town Cafe, Clifton Springs NY

A very interesting, busy, kinda loud but friendly place. A little confusing for a first time visit. You place your order up front, they do the cooking in the middle and the seating is in the back. The tables and chairs looked vintage, plates and silverware miss- matched. You pay on the way out. One the the workers said long time customers bring in their old plates etc, and that's what they use. Our meals were quite tasty and filling. All in all a very enjoyable experience.

I was very impressed with both the service and the food. My breakfast sandwich was so delicious! I wish this place was in my hometown!

I’d give it zero stars if I could. I went there on my 30 minute lunch and the place was basically dead. I waited 20 minutes for a bagel and orange juice. Nobody cashed me out, nobody even acknowledged me. It’s a shame since I work up the street and eat locally 2-3 days a week. I guess I’ll stick with Nima’s, they at least respect their customers.

Super friendly people. Delicious breakfast. Quaint little town. Well worth the stop. Would recommend for those heading to Niagara Falls.

Heading north to drop our son off at college and luckily listened to the previous reviews about this place. Good food, sweet small town vibes, and great service! Worth the quick detour and the street it’s on is equally quaint!

JR is one of a kind. Great food & atmosphere. Todd is also a legend. Professional and polite. Very thankful for this amazing place being in such a small town.

First, super friendly workers. Very patient and humorous. We got there just before the lunch rush so our food hit the table fast. I ordered the Memphis bbq and potato salad was not disappointed. Great portions on both. It got very busy during the lunch rush and the owner of the establishment jumped in with both feet to help his two servers. That says something because every table was full and the food got out quite efficiently. Coffee was great. I had the salted caramel and again not disappointed. And it sounds odd to say this but you need to check out the men's room there. No spoilers.

Wish this place stayed open later. It definately has a small town feel with an edge. Love it. Food is amazing, staff is great. It definately is the talk of the town!

Service was decent however. Chicken was microwaved and got a bag of potato chips. Ordered veggies with mine and got end of celery and 3 baby carrots. Small child portion of veggies.

Greeted warmly with smiles. The owner loves people and it shows! EXCELLENT food, The coffee (regular). Again excellent. If in the area, stop by. I guarantee, you won't be sorry.
