West Side Market Café

So. We were so excited to try this place and we were very disappointed
First of all, we didn’t get our coffee refilled until we asked. I HATE this! It’s a peeve of mine.
Second, my husband, who LOVES chicken and waffles, ordered it and couldn’t eat it. Had a weird, greasy taste.
We won’t be back.

The place is really nice. Quite the local ambient and flavor. Ingredients are sourced from the market. The service is really friendly and they make sure you are well taken care of. Prices are pretty reasonable. I had the eggs benedict with hash browns and while the eggs were not spectacular the hash browns were fantastic! Hands down the best ones I have ever had! Another down side is that they don’t take AMEX and since I was traveling on business I couldn’t bill tto my corporate card, but this should not affect regular casual customers. Parking can be a challenge too but I went early on a Sunday morning and was able to get street parking.

I had high hopes but if I’m to be honest, this experience just wasn’t up to par with what I feel is expected when dining out. There were three of us on a Saturday at about 9:30. The way they squeezed us into tables was a bit absurd. I could barely pull my chair out without hitting the person behind me and we may as well have pushed our table up against the table beside us because we were that close. It was very tight quarters and I’m not a huge guy.
I tried to order the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs but our waitress came back and said they were out of corned beef. So I then ordered the Creamed Chipped Beef but was told they did not have that available either. So by 9:30a they were out of two breakfast dishes. I ended up just ordering the Brunch Wrap and was very disappointed with it. It was just a fried egg with bacon and some cheese inside a tortilla shell served with potatoes. The potatoes were decent but the wrap was a joke. It was tiny and had no flavor at all. I could have made this at home easily and saved $ 8. When our food was brought out it was brought at different times so one of us had food before the others. Two coffees were brought when only one was ordered and then we were told by he waitress that we ordered two. Well, two out of the three of us are not coffee drinkers so I’m fairly certain we would not have ordered that extra coffee. I believe we were charged for it but it took so long to get our check in the first place that I didn’t care. I just wanted to get out of that cramped area and go about my day.
It was not a great experience at all but I would be willing to try it again. I would certainly order something different. Perhaps it was just an off day. It is hard to say though with so many other breakfast destinations in the area.

Great little lunch spot. Had the pierogi sandwich on rosemary bread with a TON of munster cheese. Awesome!
The fries were OK, a little oily flavored.
Nice little beer selection to boot. Get a buzz on before you go shopping in the market.

This place is perfect for brunch. Go there. Enjoy it. Hit up the market when you’re done.

A hidden gem in that neighborhood, have been there twice for breakfast and it was excellent, it’s worth a try.

Yummy yummy yummy! I got the zucchini fritters and chicken quesadilla and both were delicious. My husband got the shrimp and grits which he said 2as amazing. Portions were much bigger than what I expected for the price. A great value! Would definitely come back!
