ginger's cafe

yummy!. i was in there on sunday 5/5 and while they were packed and the waitresses were running around they were still super friendly and didn't let the stress of being busy get to them! i sat at this cute little pink table and we had the cutest waitress who was honest and genuine and had a fantastic personality and answered all questions we had. she recommended the sweet cream blueberry pancakes and she didn't steer me wrong and i also got a side of bacon and 2 eggs that were cooked exactly they way i wanted them! my husband got the corned-beefhashand absolutely loved it! the decor was super homey and reminded of my grandmas house. we will coming sooner rather than later!

charming place with a down home feel. great food and prices. we were there first time today--mother's day. it was busy but we still got right in and served fast. food was great--omelette for me. husband had corned beefhashand grits. all were 5 stars . the peanut butter pie was awesome. do not pass it up! the place is like your grandmas. mishmash of plates silverware and yes tables and chairs. this gives it charm imo. i'm not sure why the other reviewer would go two times if the place was so repulsive first time. we will def be back. there are no pretenses there and the food, service and prices were all excellent.

b's & g's. my wife and i made it into ginger's yesterday for the first time for breakfast. the outside looked like a bland strip mall, but the inside was surprisingly cheerful and inviting. i've been in a biscuits and gravy mood lately, so i decided to go with the bs & gs, which comes withhashbrowns. thehashbrown were ok although a bit under-seasoned and missing the crispness that is the hallmark of really expertly-madehashbrown.

the biscuits and gravy were better. the gravy was smooth and creamy with plenty of hunks of sausage cooked in. it was also seasoned nicely and was thick enough that a good amount would cling to the biscuits. i think a more flavorful sausage could have made the gravy even better, but overall a good version.


biscuits and gravy: 3
hash browns: 2
service: 2.5
atmosphere: 3

1: does not meet expectations
2: meets expectations
3: exceeds expectations

so, on this scale, a 2 is a respectable score. 4s will be very rare. (and hopefully so will 1s).

love this place. my friend, jody, and i love to meet for breakfast and this is where we meet 9 our of 10 times....at least! she likes their breakfast sandwich and i like their corned beefhashwith two eggs and toast. took the waitresses suggestion and had it with the rye toast. she was right...it was great, although we like their nutty wheat bread too! the food is fresh and simple, service is fast and friendly, and sometimes ginger is walking around talking to people as she takes their orders and serves them. the french coconut pie is so creamy and good! if i don't have room for it, i take a piece home for later. it's relaxing and it's fun because jody and i spot toys and decorating objects from our childhoods. my mom and dad's old dinette table is even there! love the odds n' ends plates and utensils. it's our breakfast place of choice.

this place is not good. the pancakes were ok but the bottles of microwaved hungry jack syrup they are served with is not good. the corned beefhashseemed like diced potatoes served with corned beef baby food... it was gross. this would be a good breakfast spot in lapel, markleville or arcadia but there are too many other good spots nearby. nice people and good service though.
