As a food lover constantly on the lookout for cozy gems, stumbling upon Manhattan Cafe’s menu felt like striking comfort-food gold. Their offerings are a delightful mix of old-school charm and satisfying variety.
First off, the breakfast menu is a morning-lover’s dream. Think classic combos like Eggs & Bacon, Spam & Eggs, or my personal favorite—Eggs & Chicken Fried Steak, all hearty and perfectly seasoned. For lighter starts, Rick’s Benedict and a warm bowl of Oatmeal add a homestyle touch. Craving something more indulgent? The Grilled Breakfast Sandwich is a handheld hug.
The salad section isn’t just an afterthought. The California Salad bursts with freshness, while the Cobb Salad is generously loaded with proteins and flavor. Even the Turkey Salad stands out with its smoky, savory profile.
For a quick bite, the Sandwiches & Lunch Favorites steal the show. The Killer Reuben lives up to its name—stacked, juicy, and packed with punch. I also loved the Pastrami Sandwich and the nostalgic vibe of the Cold Tongue Sandwich (yes, really!). Their Crispy Chicken Sandwich appears across the menu, and rightfully so—it’s golden, crunchy, and addictive.
Kids aren’t left behind either, with smile-worthy picks like Grilled Cheese and Small Cheeseburgers. Pair any main with their crispy Fries or Hashbrowns, and don’t skip the Loaded or Chili Fries if you’re feeling bold.
For the sweet finish, the Apple Pie is everything you hope it will be—warm, flaky, and sweet enough to bring you back. Or go classic with Stewed Prunes or a scoop of Ice Cream.
In short, Manhattan Cafe’s menu reads like a love letter to diner-style comfort food—with enough variety to keep both traditionalists and adventurous eaters happy.
