Thornton's Hometown Cafe, a place so hidden it makes you wonder if it's part of a government conspiracy or just shy. Stepping in here is like falling down a culinary rabbit hole into a world where breakfast is king and the clock always reads 'morning'. The food? Served hot enough to make you believe in miracles, or at least in the power of a good griddle. This joint is buzzing like a beehive on a caffeine kick, and the server? Friendlier than a politician in an election year. It's a true local gem, the kind you stumble upon and then can't stop bragging about, like discovering a secret society or a new planet. It's like a rite of passage into the realm of real breakfast. You don't just eat and leave; you become part of a tradition, an unspoken club of satisfied stomachs. Will we return? It's not a question, it's a certainty, like the sun rising or taxes. Thornton's isn't just a cafe; it's a breakfast odyssey.

this could be a great breakfast place BUT scrambled eggs are ALWAYS over cooked (dead n dry) as are sausage patties....no matter what we tell the waitress. cook needs to read up on how to cook perfect scrambled eggs, and why are patties hard burnt on outside ?? the bread selection for toast is excellent. pancake with bananas has plenty of bananas on top none inside. ask for butter or you get margarine...pancake syrup not real. prices are not cheap, but good if ingredients were real. it would not take much effort to be a 5 star !!

My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time today and it was a great experience. The food was fresh and everything was cooked well. The price is a smidge on the high side for breakfast food but the quality makes it worth it. We would definitely come back.

Very much enjoyed breakfast this morning with my love at this quaint cafe . Had a wonderful breakfast. Everything was very delicious served hot and fresh from the coffee to the gravy to the fresh blueberries and everything in between. Our waitress was excellent...She never let my hot, fresh coffee to hit past the middle of my cup and waited on us professionally and above the bar with courtesy. The cashier was a very sweet, caring individual. She fetched my gloves which fell between the cushion and the back of the seat on the floor. Being handicapped, I couldn't get to them. But down on her hands and knees she went to get them...she also went above and beyond the call of duty!! I highly recommend them. With service and food like this, everyone needs to take a lesson in excellence from this cafe!!

Place has some good character and the waitresses were friendly. Food was good. Giving a mixed review because there is a fruit fly problem. Bathroom was absolutely gross because of the fruit flys and we had numerous flying all over our table and food. Perhaps I’ll give them another try in 6 months to see if it’s any cleaner.
