I arrived at Court Cafe on a Friday afternoon. When I approached the front desk, the hostess flipped the sign around, which read, "Waitlist closed. " She quickly flipped the sign around and said she was joking. I always appreciate a good sense of humor, so my first impression was good. The hostess sat me at the bar, and I looked around and noticed the nicely decorated interior of the restaurant was nice and clean. Classic R&B music was in the air; as a music lover whose favorite genre is R&B, that's always a welcome sound for me!
I ordered the sweet potato waffles, scrambled cheese eggs with three different cheese options--I got the shredded Colby jack, I think--and strawberry lemonade. I got hooked on sweet potato waffles at another local restaurant that has sweet potatoes embedded into the waffle. The sweet potato waffles at Court Cafe featured a traditional waffle with a small scoop of sweet potatoes on top, whipped cream, syrup, sugar, and all sorts of sweet toppings. I loved the waffles here! However, I prefer sweet potatoes embedded inside the waffle.
Courts Cafe has the moistest eggs I have ever tasted, and they are delicious! I liked the strawberry lemonade, for which the attentive bartender gave me a free refill to go. In February, the restaurant had a sign-out front that advertised 20% off for locals, so that was a bonus and savings. I am unsure if the 20% discount was a one-month promotion or ongoing.
I enjoyed the excellent food and service and will return! My food cost around 25.00 with the 20 percent discount.
