Blue Plate Cafe

I have driven past this place for 16 years.  I was always intrigued and always meant to stop by.  Finally, the opportunity presented itself today to check this place out.

It's exceptionally bright in there.  The walls are painted yellow.  The tables have blue checkered tablecloths.  It felt like I had stepped into the typical Southern Grandma's kitchen.  Upon entering, I was bombarded by the warm smell of maple syrup and pancakes.  The place was clean and bright.

The menus are pretty interesting.  They look like old newspapers and have a wide variety.  The whole place had a nostalgic feel to it.  The coffee cups were the old fashioned, small cups of my grandparents'.  It was enjoyable to sit in a place that was so nice and cheery while I drank coffee.

The food reminded me of what my mom and my grandma used to make.  I had the meatloaf and while good, it was a bit different from what I was used to.  They use a tomato sauce which is a bit different than ketchup.  I enjoyed the tangy tomato sauce.  The biscuits were awesome!  They were fluffy and soft.  Went well with the butter.  Cornbread muffins were also pretty good.  The food was overall really good and not super expensive. However, the portions were a bit on the small side.  I wasn't completely satisfied and though the prices weren't too bad, the portions did not equal the price (in my opinion).

It was a great experience and I will try this place again and most likely will eat here fairly regularly.
