" McCartys Cafe has such a warm feeling to it. My friends and I had a delightful dinner here last week. I loved the steak fingers, they had just the right crunch. Everything tasted so fresh, and I enjoyed the rustic atmosphere. I would recommend coming here for a casual meal with friends or family. Excellent value for money. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always come here for breakfast when I am in town. The food reminds me so much of my grandmother's cooking, especially the biscuits and gravy. Their pancakes are fluffy, and my coffee was bottomless! If you want a true taste of homemade cooking in a diner setting, this is the place. Be prepared for some potential wait times during peak hours, but it's definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the grilled chicken salad, and honestly, everything was just okay. The chicken was dry and the overall flavor was bland. The atmosphere is quite charming, and the service was friendly, but they definitely need to improve their food preparation. I wouldn’t be in a rush to return for this particular dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not bad for a small town diner! I had the catfish and it tasted fresh but didn’t have a whole lot of seasoning. Service was friendly enough, but it seemed they could use an extra hand in the kitchen. Overall, a decent experience; I wouldn’t mind giving it another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" McCartys Cafe is an absolute gem! I popped in for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the food tasted. The catfish was crispy and seasoned perfectly. The staff was attentive, and everything was served promptly. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise! The experience was as warm as the food served. I had the catfish, which is touted as a local favorite, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The portion was generous, and flavor-wise, it blew me away. The only downside was a bit longer wait for food, but it was well worth it. I look forward to going back soon. Their fried green chili strips are next on my list! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, this place is fantastic! The homemade onion rings were something I could eat every day. My steak fingers were crispy and loaded with flavor. Love the fact that they prep everything fresh. The staff was also very welcoming; you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)
