I just left the Broadway cafe I took my Mother for what I thought would be a nice Sunday brekfast.What a mistake this plase is horrible it took 40 min. to get our food I asked for 3 overeasy eggs and got two scrambled all the food was cold had to get up and get our own silverware, actuly had to flag down the waitress for coffie refill. My 80 year old Mother was so disapointed she looked so sad. This dump has no business in the food service business.The waitress excuses was that they only have one cook and he was slamed.I counted only six tables with people and 1 person at counter.HORRIBLE HORRIBLE JUST PLAIN SUCKS.$19.53 IN THE TRASH MCDONALDS IS MUCH BETTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I agree the place was up and coming around that time but that was with the old manager let go for silly reasons staff is more then happy to let you know how they miss him and why he was let go. But since then this new clown came in and things have just taken a dive. Look in the bathrooms it will tell you all you need to know about the place before wasting your money on cold over or undercooked food. Let the cockroaches eat there as and not you. I am not kidding saw two scampering happily about a table away needless to say Got up and left with my family disgusting maybe that manager should get off his butt at the counter and call an exterminator and carpenter to fix a caving in entry way. And if they let us see the poor repairs of the building I don't even want to know what the back of the building looks like.

The Broadway Cafe has come a long way. I love the 50's theme,the jukebox, the pictures on the wall. I think they make the best shakes in town. My experience was pretty good. It was about midnight and I had breakfast. The hotcakes were good, eggs just right and plenty of coffee. Service was with a smile. I would definitely go back.

Despite the negative comments on this site this café is nostalgic and the food is pretty good. Prices are reasonable for Tucson. The service is good but please expect that it is a diner/café where the help is typically an uneducated person having a bad day. The regular employees are stretched between many customers and this place is typically very busy and understaffed. I give them an A for effort. I am a regular for breakfast or lunch and watch them as they work very hard to please the customers.

Some customers have too high of expectations for a café. BUT THE PLACE IS CLEAN and the ambiance is 50's décor with era music. You will enjoy this café. Everyone makes mistakes and don't listen to one or two persons opinions in visiting.

Hi,
I have gone here MANY times, and I would say that it is more hit than miss. I have to say that yes, there are the days when the service is off and the food is cold, but these days are rare. Most of the time the service is as it should be at a diner, and the food is as it should be at a diner, slow and filling:)
The gravy and biscuit and scrambled egg is really good but stay away from the ham and cheese omelet.
I say that 70% of the time it reminds me of the NY diners I grew up with, and then ya there is that 30% when it is just not so good, but hey I like risks!

My family went to Broadway Cafe for breakfast this morning. It was a horrible experience. Our server was rude. It took over 45 minutes to get our food. When our food finally arrived it was cold and my husband's was burnt. Our server was not apologetic at all and brought the bill 2 minutes after setting down the cold food (funny how attentive she was to bringing the bill!). I am sending a complaint letter to the owner. We will NEVER eat at this establishment again. Horrible, horrible! We could have saved $26 and eaten at McDonalds, gotten better service and hot food!!

WENT TO RESTAURANT APPROX 10:30 PM ON A FRIDAY. AFTER BITING INTO THE HAMBURGER,WHICH WAS COLD, WE ASKED FOR NEW SANDWICH. 20 MINUTES LATER WAITRESS BRINGS RE-HEATED SANDWICH (BITE MISSING). THIS MEANS THEY EITHER RE-HEATED IT IN THE MICROWAVE (GROSS)OR PUT THE BITTEN INTO SANDWICH BACK ON THE GRILL (REALLY GROSS). REGARDLESS, I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ANY RESTAURANT THAT RE-HEATS THEIR FOOD WHEN A CUSTOMER REQUESTS A NEW SANDWICH. MY HUSBAND AND I PAID FOR THE DINNER (WE DID NOT EAT) AND LEFT. I WILL NEVER DINE AT THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN AND WILL TELL AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE THIS RESTAURANTS PROCEDURES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HEALTH DEPT AS THE DISTRICT MANAGER HAS NEGLECTED TO RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS REGARDING THIS MATTER.

The food is ok. I mean, its nothing to write home about, however, since they do offer a children eat free with every adult meal special, it makes it worth the occasional stop in. The service is extremely slow, so if you have time to wait, then this might be the place for you.
