American Cafe

This place was the perfect combination of friendly small town staff and delicious food. The waitress so super sweet and always checked in on my family. We ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and 2 eggs which were cooked perfectly over easy. Will definitely be back soon

I used to love coming here I don’t anymore. It didn’t feel welcoming at. Then I got charged 12 dollars for a little bit of food not worth it at all.

Exactly as the name states. Nice little cafe. Nothing fancy. Decent food at a decent price.

I came here on a Friday around 9:30 and the place was empty but by the time I left there were about 8 tables occupied. Half the people that came in the waiter asked if they wanted their normal order. Clear indication it is a local favorite. I had the county fried steak with grits and sunny side up eggs. The dish was overall pretty good, the steak was cooked perfectly and the grits were not runny. The waiter was very attentive and refilled my coffee and water. I'm definitely coming back.

Just a nice hole-in-the-wall neighborhood breakfast joint. Everyone is kind and it feels very home like.

Sunday I enjoyed a beautiful jalapeno and cheese sausage on beautifully fried potatoes with peppers and onions and cheese with an egg put on it too and I had two eggs put on it and roasted jalapeno. Beautiful presentation fresh. The service was great. This is my favorite breakfast place always fresh food. They also hard freshly made desserts but I was full.

If you have not yet wondered into this little place randomly yet, or just waiting for someone to recommend going.. this is it! Skip Denny's over priced small serving,half hearted made food. Just behind it is American Cafe.. the breakfast options and price you can't beat. The speed and friendly service is top notch! You must give this place a try especially if you like a good cheap breakfast. They even have a Spanish menu with authentic dishes! If these reviews helped at all please follow me and click helpful the post!

Stopped in with my daughter for a quick bite... good food and service. Average prices for area.

This is a cute diner. Nestled in a strip mall, the staff is very friendly, the food is hot and tasty. Kathy was our server and she was great. Our food was just as we ordered, the home fries were moist and crispy, albeit a little under seasoned. The French toast were drenched just right even though I wish the bread was thicker, but still tasty. All in all, I was pleased with our breakfast and would definitely come back again.

The food here is very good, i've been coming here on and off for over 8 years. The service is okay, but they really need to turn the thermostat up a bit, it's like sitting in a damn icebox.

This is the worst cafe! Highly priced & service was awful, the waitress chased me outside to confront me after deciding not to eat there and paid for our drinks. I will never go back, so warning to all customers DO NOT EAT HERE!

We order in frequently for our shop, the food is great. When we do visit them, the service is always top notch. I will definitely continue to eat here.

The American Cafe is our go to place every week for breakfast. It is always clean and the food delicious and abundant. Our waitress always has a smile and never lets our coffee cup run out! You might want to try skipping Denny's and give the American Cafe a try!!

This was nothing special. Also, it wasn't terrible. I didn't take any photos because it wasn't photo worthy. The server was great, and the food was just underwhelming. I'm not sure we would go back.

We enjoy going to the American Cafe very much. Their breakfast and lunch are consistently delicious. The owner/chef, Maria, comes out and greets the customers when she can. The service is always good. We recommend this owner-owned and operated restaurant for a good homemade meal.

My wife and I had a great experience. The food and people were genuinely authentic. Fresh vegetables in our veggie omelettes, espresso coffee and plenty of smiles from our waitresses.

Local diner, INCREDIBLE food. Friendly staff & great service. If you're a tourist don't be fooled by the Denny's out front and "play it safe" - go for the local food less than 100 feet away! You won't be disappointed!

This little cafe has been our go to for breakfast for years. In my book it's the best breakfast place on Port St Lucie. Food is great, prices are reasonable, and service is prompt and friendly.

I'm giving this cafe 2 stars because the food was good. However I was shaking when I left this café due to the ignorant and some super rude patrons that we're not having a personal conversation at the table but were talking loudly for the whole restaurant to hear about their political views. Just so happens they were speaking rudely about the democratic party and they never stopped. So by the time we were done with our food I had to say something to them and of course they were rude back so we will never never go to this café again. It is not for Americans it's for Trumpers

We eat here almost weekly and our meals are always exceptionally made with outstanding service! It's important to support our local small businesses and this is definitely one that's at the top of my breakfast and lunch list.

Needed to kill time so decided to get breakfast with my boyfriend and it was close by. Immediately walking in, not a great vibe but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. The ladies bathroom, for starters, white powder all over the floor (could've guessed what that was lol), the soap dispenser was on its last screw, place was honestly kind of a dump. I found a thick dark hair in my pancakes, then my boyfriend found one in his eggs as well. We were immediately disgusted and were nice enough to even pay. Waitress didn't even apologize. Would not recommend coming here, don't waste your money or time.

Great service. Good home cooked for is. This is definitely a local restaurant which makes only better. Small business strong.

This place was great. I found it on Google and saw that it was a really small place so I figured it had to be good. Had the biscuits and gravy which was wonderful and the pancakes which were really good and home fries and sausage. All was superb

I love this diner as it has one of my all time favorite breakfasts/ South of the border omelette. It's 3 eggs omelette cooked perfect (not overcooked!!) With taco meat, cheeses and covered in chili. It may not sound like something you want but it is damn good! With hashbrowns (of course with onions mixed in!) and your choice of bread; I always get a well toasted English muffin it is a very bold and tasty meal. It's standard diner fare and service is good. Prices are exactly what you can expect 5-10 bucks for most items and they are quick with the orders. All in all a very decent place!

Love the food here, they always have specials and the service is very good..They have the best omelets in the area..You won't be disappointed..

Had breakfast at American Cafe on March 16th. My wife and I loved this place. My omelette was done perfect and the side of sausage was also very good. Service was very good and if I am in Port Saint Lucie in the future I will have breakfast at the American Cafe. My wife loved her meal and commented on how good it was. Good coffee as well.

A hidden gem on US 1 South. We know we can always go here and get a great meal, with great service at a reasonable price, and plentiful portions. They are one of our two "go to " places. The breakfast menu and selections are varied and should accommodate all. We know it is a place we can be comfortable and enjoy our meal. Well worth the short trip from our home.

This place has the best breakfast and lunch. The are clean and have quick service. There food is delicious and fresh. They make the best coffee con leche. I love there BLT on a Croissant. I've also had there ruban sandwich which is so yummy.

I have been to this place several times for breakfast. It is always pretty good. Went there for lunch and it was a mistake. Soggy Reuben and cold fries. Service was horrible. Should of walked out when the server approached my table without a mask. He was awful. Will not be a returning customer even for breakfast.

I have had breakfast here in the past , today I had two eggs ordered over medium but were over easy instead. I sat at the counter , the service was friendly and immediate. I was disappointed in the service fee added in at the end and was a surprise to me , I may have missed it in the previous visits. The Cafe management made a conscious decision to charge this fee in which I ma not in favor of. I will not be returning due to this fee, there are too many other diners that do not have this charge.

We work on the strip and wanted to go have breakfast for lunch. However, atmosphere was alittle Shakey when walked in. However, ordering our Western Omelettes, we were not advised THERE WOULD BE NO CHEESE added, not even ASKED from waiter. Who eats a Omelette without cheese????? If you do, cool. But not I. Another thing, after we told the waiter, they insisted us give back our plates to add cheese in and flip but by that time we had already cut into the omelette, learnt experience is you never give your plate back and as a courtesy, they should fix any way. Sour cream was very sour, which means it's expired/bad. After telling the waitor and still nothing. The fact that no one rectified the situation is even more pitiful!!! We and the rest of us about 500 people won't be passing a good word! Would rather -0!!!!!!!!

I had the Ruben sandwich which they said is a best seller. I don't order Ruben's very often, but I found this one to be delicious!

Food was great and the service was phenomenal. Sheila was an excellent waitress and very attentive. Also very patient while our 5 children ordered.

This is my first time to this place snd it was a great experience. The atmosphere is awesome with a country feel. The service was on point and so friendly. The food was super. American and Mexican. I ate the breakfast tacos and added chorizo. I really enjoy spicy foods and the chorizo was nice and spicy. To make it better I added the salsa which is also spicy yum yum. I recommend this spot .

This is the best place to eat if you want a nice hearty breakfast. Their breakfasts are so damn good. The home fries are to die for. The people are so friendly and I highly recommend this place to eat at. I want to learn how they make the home fries with onions. All I can say is, this place is awesome!!!

Terrible service had to send back French toast it was just white bread hardly any egg never go there again staff walks around like they don't notice you

This is a mom and pop restaurant and an amazing place to eat. Staff is wonderful and very friendly. Food is so so so good. The speed of service is really fast. Fastest I've ever experienced. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

This was my first visit and it was GREAT!!! Staff is so very nice and my veggie omelete was huge!!!!!!! It was filed with tons of veggies. Why haven't I checked out this place before????? Don't miss this place.

The food wasn't good at all. I went in and they were not warm and welcoming. When I seated myself they waitress was not knowledgeable and couldn't explain anything to me on the menu. I would not recommend this establishment to your family and friends.

What a great place!! Nice decor, excellent food and an EXTREMELY friendly staff. Be sure to stop here if you can.

The breakfast there is very good and reasonably priced. The decor is Americana and cute. Lunch, however, was not so great. The taco salad tasted like they used an oriental spice instead of Mexican. The grilled cheese sandwich was just ok and made on normal sandwich bread instead of something bigger or better. And apparently the cook makes one meal at a time because it took almost 30 minutes to get our meals. I'll return for breakfast but will eat lunch elsewhere. They're open 7 to 2 every day.

If I could I would leave a zero star review. The food was mediocre at best. The waitress did not know her ass from her elbow. I wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone!!

It was a nice breakfast menu and the food was good today. And being packed all the food was hot and delicious. Nice pancakes good scrambled eggs and the sausage and bacon were great. It was nice to go to a restaurant where the wait staff was friendly and accommodating. The meals were a great price and tasty. Will go back , might be our new spot. When we taste the biscuits and gravy that will be our clincher. We highly recommend this little spot. You will not be disappointed.

Simply furnished when you walk in but the food and service is very good! I recommend going there for breakfast or lunch. You will be glad that you went when you are done eating there!

Recently went for breakfast, first time. Got 2 eggs, bacon and a sausage and gravy biscuit. Was ok, the biscuit was sweet and the gravy was not good. I would not recommend that. It appeared too dark, brownish. May have been over cooked and scorched. Eggs and bacon were ok. Hard to mess that up. Staff was nice. Place was clean. Very quick service.

Went to have breakfast here and noting was the food bad but so was the service, I never had food with so much grease in it. Only reason why I went here was because Ricks dinner across the street was packed. Explains why everyone goes to Ricks dinner.

I've been here several times and it never disappoints. The menu is typical for the area but being a small business they understand the importance of quality and prompt service.

Very friendly staff, good food. They serve breakfast and lunch quickly. Their omelette see very good

The place is pack, but you're seated quickly. Wow, I got coffee and my order taken right away. OK here it is. Food was great, refills nonstop, my husband had the bagel with eggs and beacon he said it was prefect and this guy is the pickiest eater ever! My breakfast was great. I will come back here again!!!!! One of the waitress a Spanish girl she has an amazing quality and service and customer service as well. She indeed is a keeper. I rate this cafe a ten!!!!!!

Went here with the wife for breakfast yesterday with one of their newspaper coupons offering 1/2 off the meal of the lesser amount. I ordered one of the daily specials and the wife ordered something a bit cheaper from the regular menu. When presenting the coupon we were told it didn't apply to "specials". I said that My wife didn't order a special and that was the meal with the lesser amount. I was told "that doesn't matter, the coupon doesn't apply to specials". I didn't bother arguing over this bait and switch coupon. Denny's is in the same parking lot.

Great prices, fast service, delicious food. In 17 years coming here, i have never had a disappointing breakfast.

best homefries anywhere all bkfsts great. Help quick, friendly and generous with refills.

I popped in here for some reason which is really unlike me to dine alone , its a very set back little place that's not too noticeable but once you try the food here you won't forget it, its at the very end of the plaza in the same shopping center as dennys and applebee's and bealls, staples right before psl blvd. anyway I was surprised it wasn't as tiny as it looked from the outside they could probably fit a good 50 people in there but I went to the counter I was going to just check out the menu, I was greeted by a very friendly waitress and they had a very cheap meal with an egg and homefries and toast for a few bucks and I saw on the menu they had a half of a waffle so I asked if there was anyway I could upgrade and pay extra for a half of a waffle instead of toast and she said sure , I think it came to like 5 bucks or something and I even got strawberries and whip cream on top and home fries with onions , oh my gosh those homefries are AMAZING , I was absolutely stuffed afterwards, Oh and the man next to me ordered an omelet and it was HUGE ! I'd love to go back here , maybe today, I'm craving their homefries now lol

Food is excellent, I've never had anything here I hated, but the waitress not so much. The past two times I've been here with my daughter, our waitress has been seen taking items from tables, including ours. The first time was jelly, which we didn't need but she took a certain flavor that we could've been planning to use. The second time was ketchup, which I was not done using, and she took it from the table without saying a word. The last time she did it, she took a bowl full of creamers from another table and gave it to the table next to them. They were not pleased because they had coffee and were using the creamer. I would ask to be placed in a different section than hers, but it doesn't seem to make a difference because the last time we visited the establishment, we weren't in her section and she still took the items. Again, the food is excellent, but the waitress needs to work on her manners.
