I hit up Webster cafe everytime I work in the area. Its a cool spot with typical diner food.
The service is good, the food is good, the place is clean and the tables are always packed (always a good thing.)
The food comes out very fast. Check it.
Food was better than I expected it to be. Place doesn't look too clean, you can tell it's definitely been open for a decade or so; it's not the most modern of places.
Staff was very nice, menu is what you would find at a diner.
After a day at the botanical garden if you're hungry and don't want to go to the generic subway a few doors down stop in here. They also have a Mexican food menu.
From the outside, this cafe looks like one of those last minute diners you go to when there's nothing much left and your standards are so low that you just hope whatever you order is edible. This was my thought process coming in and coming out I was more than satisfied.
Like most others, I stopped by here before going to the Botanical Gardens. Relatively empty save for a couple of diners, ordered a tuna salad sandwich on rye with a chocolate milkshake (odd cravings). Sandwich was hearty, with big scoops of salad – toasted perfectly. Classic pickle slice was a nice touch. The milkshake was large and thick, but was able to finish it without killing the straw.
Service is excellent and has that homely feel to it. Not to mention the meal (considering how big it was) came to $11, which was pretty damn cheap. I would never make a special trip to come here, but it's a great option if you're hungry in the area.
Another good diner near campus. I always just got a burger, but there's a lot of seating and a good place to hit up after a night of bar hopping.
Good breakfast spot. I like their home fries better than the Bedford Park Cafe since they don't have weird bell pepper chunks in them. The waitresses are all sweet to me and my boyfriend and I don't think I've had anything bad here (although I don't think I've deviated from 2 eggs sunny side up with corned beef hash and rye toast…sometimes with coffee (which is good) and sometimes without (their OJ is legit Tropicana Pure Premium in a carton….not sour from concentrate crap, yay!)
Oh, Webster Cafe. I love you more with each passing day.
That's not a super helpful review, but you can look at my older reviews for this place to get "better" feedback.
I continue to be so happy that this place is just good home-cooked food.
Dishes I love:
1. Farmer's omelette
2. Steak tips and rice (a special on Wednesday, I want to say.)
3. Cemitas (awesome sandwich on the Mexican food menu)
4. Caesar salad (not your typical Caesar–gigantic bowl with onions and peppers, grilled chicken, and homemade croutons)
Thanks for being you, Webster's!
Oh, Webster!
This diner is the site of numerous memories for me already, after only a short time, probably less than a year. I once empathised with the staff for dealing with the drunk Fordham kids stumbling in from Tinkers, one of the local bars, across the street. One night I became an ill inebriated kid, and since then I have sympathised shyly.
With that in mind, the employees here are what I would consider stolid and efficient, although also slow between food's arrival and producing the check. This habit has probably developed from their dealings with any variety of substance-influenced kids.
In the morning, you will probably find the same or the rest of the night's debauchery hung over and sleepy, yawning over breakfast. And, yes, the breakfast is good.
There is only one large booth for a lucky crowd, but Webster is homey with a jungle of plants, a counter with stools, and warm lighting. Prices are obviously nothing to complain about; the college kids go there all the time. And best of all for truly lazy bums, Webster delivers.
