Old 50 Cafe - Carlyle (IL)

1 /5 Bridget Worby: I had high hopes because I love mom and pop type places. Their food is always usually really good. Unfortunately not this place ordered a turkey club and when I got my sandwich had ham and cheese I asked my waitress and she said I ordered it wrong even though the ticket said turkey club. Finally a different waitress brought me out the right sandwich but it was Absolutely horrible. The bacon was a greenish gray color and the turkey had no flavor. I couldn’t even eat it in the waitress. Had the nerve to ask me if I wanted the box to take it home. There are plenty of places to eat so steer clear of this one.

5 /5 Sybil Diccion: My family and I were in my hometown for three days last month and each morning, we ate at Old 50 Café. Although all the usual menu items were ordered for breakfast, it was the potatoes that my daughter says were five stars. She’s from Ann Arbor and has eaten at many different restaurants there. She maintain that nowhere has she tasted fried potatoes like those made at Old 50 Café. She couldn’t wait to get there each morning, just to get those potatoes. We were able to sit by the big window overlooking Franklin, watching the traffic and seeing people walking by. It was all very nice and homey

4 /5 Rte154: We ate lunch at old 50 Cafe on a Saturday. They had very good business with waitresses hustling and doing a good job of keeping up. Food was good. I had chicken fried steak and my wife had liver and onions. She said the liver was a little tough but otherwise good. Would eat here again when in the area.

5 /5 Juliette Morgan: This is our second time at the Old 50s Cafe, and both times the food has been great, service has been awesome, and the atmosphere is very laid back and comfortable. This time we got a French Dip, and a Corned Beef Hash skillet. Both were delicious! We also had a bowl of Homemade chicken and dumpling soup...so good! The husband loves it because he can get a great breakfast all day! I would highly suggest stopping here if youre hungry, and need something quick, delicious and hearty!
