Crema's Take
“Peoria Cafe is a beloved neighborhood gathering spot where the Cowboy Breakfast with chicken fried steak and their celebrated Friday fish fry keep locals coming back week after week. Beyond the consistently excellent food and generous portions, what really shines through is the genuine warmth of the staff and the care that goes into every plate—this is the kind of place where regulars have claimed their Saturday morning spot and newcomers immediately understand why. It's the rare independent cafe that executes both comfort food classics and lighter fare with equal skill, making it feel less like a transaction and more like being welcomed into someone's kitchen.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Peoria Cafe is hands down one of my favorite breakfast spots in Arizona. Amazing food, great portions, and consistently on point every single time. I’m here every Saturday morning for breakfast, and it never disappoints. The staff is what really makes this place special—friendly, welcoming, and always hustling to make sure everyone feels taken care of. And you have to say hi to Jenny, the best server in town! She’s incredible, always upbeat, remembers your order, and makes every visit feel like home. If you’re looking for a local breakfast spot with awesome food and even better people, Peoria Cafe is it. Highly recommend! 🥞☕️
What can say! This is how food should be. Great service. Loved the flavors! Can’t wait to try it again soon! Compliments to the chef and the owners.
The eggs and bacon and the French toast here were TO DIE FOR, but the pancakes tasted like they were missing something. All of the staff was very friendly but the waitress we had kept us waiting for quite a bit and he had to get our bill from someone else. I'll probably be coming back for the French toast despite that wait, though.
This was our first time here and we came for the Friday fish fry based on some recommendations. We are always on the hunt for a good fish fry, and so far have only found less than a handful. However, today we just added another place into our rotation! Peoria Cafe is a quaint little place, that has zero frills to the place, but that's ok, the fish fry made up for all that. It was very good...wasnt the best but definitely flippin good. The staff was friendly, even telling us to come back for the breakfast and to make sure to come try their special cinnamon rolls, and I definitely will!! The prices were pretty fair and the fish we got tonight were pretty good size pieces. We were told some days they are smaller, it all depends on what they get and I am ok with that. If I would have known how big the plate was for my 4 pieces and my husband's 7 pieces, I would have ordered 2 instead, lol...but I guess I have food for the next day. The Cole slaw was tasty, a little too much on the creamy side so it loses its crunch but had good flavor. You also get your choice of a potato as a side= mashed, French fries or a baked potato. My husband got the French fries, which by the way were very good and I got this enormous baked potato, which was good but should have been cooked a tad longer to make it soft and fluffy. The fish had a great batter and loved the crunch it had. A few changes I would have made though, is if you order 2 pieces of fish, you should get at a minimum 1 container of tartar sauce, 4 pieces = 2 tartar sauces and definitely 3 plus tartar sauces for the 7 piece and more butter and sour cream for the large baked potato. But all in all, we WILL be back, not only because of the food but the two women that were working tonight...not sure who they were, one was doing more of the cashier stuff and one was serving tables but both very sweet and telling us to come back and try their breakfast. Friday is the only day they are open later due to the fish fry. Looking forward to coming back for breakfast and to get my hands on one of those cinnamon rolls they spoke of, cannot wait. Stay tuned for my review of those next. ❤️
The hot roast beef sandwich is amazing. Huge and delicious. The Cowboy Breakfast with chicken fried steak is always a favorite choice for breakfast. Their Friday fish fry is really good also. Their Garbage Omelet is really good. Especially when the top it with their sausage gravy. They make a pretty good Chili Melt as well. One of the things that keep me coming back besides the good food is the wonderful service that I have received there. The Taco Salad with ground beef is another tasty option. The eatible bowl was fresh and crispy. Overall it was a good choice for lunch. I returned and had another garbage omelet. It is just as good as I remember. You can now download the Peoria Cafe App at the Google Play Store to order to go orders ahead of time for your convenience.
