The pancakes are uniquely spongy, the eggs are fresh, and the bacon is thick. I love this cafe for Sunday mornings, it feels like your in the country, even though its in the middle of a large city. Pancake sandwich is perfect!!!!

I have had lunch here several times with friends while I always thought the food was ok to good at best and was way overrated in some of my friends mind. Today I went into the Fountain View Café for breakfast with 2 friends who has never eaten at this cafe. Without a doubt the worst breakfast I have ever ate. I was trying to think that maybe in basic training I’ve had a worst meal. I came to the conclusion that this meal was the worst breakfast that I’ve ever had that came out of a kitchen including mess halls. This is what we experienced: The omelet actually not to bad The scrambled eggs were over cooked and bland The eggs were unseasoned and bland (possibly best since they seem to only know about salt) Bacon was over cooked, poor quality and very salty Biscuits were not biscuits but something between a biscuit and a roll that fail apart when you touched it. Hash browns over cooked Grits over cooked mush with a pad of butter in the middle Gravy is salty chicken base with some type of salty pork floating in it. Juice and coffee were fine Poor quality food along with bad preparations has all the making for a horrible meal.

service was adequate, food was enjoyable; atmosphere reminded me of the small town joint where the old men gather to complain about the weather and drink coffee. I would definately go back.

I tried this place out a year ago after reading all the rave reviews on citysearch. they have AWESOME breakfast and even though I always get the same thing, it's amazing. the Biscuits are soft and flaky and buttery, the sausage gravy has a ton of flavor and goes really well with the biscuits AND grits. the eggs are always cooked to perfection. they also have great old fashioned burgers and onion rings which are great. I'd come to this place every weekend.

I've been going there for 20 years. Same old grumpy head on the owner that's too mean to buy a smile. There's always butter in the jam pots from the double dippers. Buy individual cups of Dickinson or smuckers or knotts berry or something. Place is always busy and the food is average. But I still like to go, I don't know why, it must be the atmosphere.
