Annie's Cafe

10Best Says

It's not just about the food here, though Grandma Bea's meatloaf, the liver and onions, chicken-fried steak and slow-baked barbecue brisket do the menu proud, and who doesn't love all-day breakfast? Annie's is a longtime neighborhood restaurant that has always made its patrons feel like part of a family. For customers whose family traditions include southwest cooking, there are dishes such as smothered homemade pork tamales, a fajita quesadilla, fish tacos and burritos. There are also burger options and nightly specials that include fried chicken on Wednesdays and spaghetti and meatballs on Fridays. The robust menu includes a creative espresso bar and there are shakes and malts for those who want to reward themselves while enjoying a fresh salad.
