Plaza Cafe is filled with some of the nicest folks you will ever meet! The food is wonderful and their capture of chicken fried steak is perfection! Margarita's are standard to sublime. There is some outdoor dining and a very roomy ind

The fish and chips were very good and crispy. Others had a Tuna melt which they said was very good , and the special Lent plate was very nice and reminded us of going to grandma's. The service was good. I love their uniforms with a little bowtie. It looks like an old-fashioned diner that way. It's a little pricey for the food, but where isn't these days?

We went to the Plaza Cafe Southside on the recommendation of the clerk at our hotel. Reading recent reviews made us a bit trepidatious. We needn't have worried. We had a very nice experience. We were seated quickly in what turned out to be a cute, 50s themed restaurant. I would say it took 8 -10 minutes for our waiter to come to take our order but he was clearly keeping busy both waiting on tables and serving as a bartender. He was completely gracious, very polite and helpful. The food was delivered quickly. The plates looked appetizing and the food was hot and delicious. We had no room for dessert but were served small, delicious cookies with our check. A perfect little treat to end a very nice meal!

not a fan of Plaza Café on the plaza. But this location on southside is much better. Enjoyed a fresh spinach salad and my husband had eggs with sausage and cheesy hashbrowns. Excellent service. Will definitely be back.

Service was fast even tho it was BUSY! Cute patio seating, it's covered so it's not too hot. Surrounded by flowers :) I order the New Mexico steak and eggs with red and green chili! It's was delicious! If you're in the area stop and try it.

A fun diner stop on the Southside. They have lots of space for any size groups. The waiter was helpful and knowledgeable when I was trying to decide what to have. I settled on their new salad the Green Goodness and added steak to it. The salad itself was delicious and filling, the steak was kinda chewy so it took away from the whole meal but overall I liked the salad. We also got a house margarita that was good. We didn't try their desserts but they looked delicious and we'll need to next time we come.
