Karlton Cafe
Reviews
Read good online reviews of Karlton Cafe, and some locals recommended it. We arrived at 11am on a Wednesday, expecting to be able to order one of their famed omelets. Instead the owner/chef said that she had stopped making breakfast for the day. Even though the restaurant was not crowded, she did not cave in, even when our server kindly followed up with her on our behalf. Not seeing anything else on the menu that would suit our tastes at that time, we left, heading over to the legendary Sunday's, where we had tasty omelets with home fries, soaked up the local atmosphere, and had a great conversation with Sunday, the owner and chef.
I have eaten here two times, once for breakfast and lunch today. Both experiences were very good! The food both times was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want great food 🍲!
great fresh breakfast options. well prepared and a nice change from the traditional bland breakfast menus you'd find in most other places.
Love this place , and i dont like to waste time sitting down to eat... But fresh fruit, awesome coffee, try a black eye if you need waking up...Everyone treats you like family, Yes if you're looking for 99 cent breakfast go somewhere else. But the old saying you get what you pay for, it is by far the best restaurant around.
The Karlton has potential. Their ingredients are obviously fresh (and apparently locally sourced). However, the preparation was rather oily, spicy and needs an extra something. I got the haddock sandwich and it was just a piece of fish between two slices of bread (bread was good and tasted homemade). Any seasoning they put on it was practically undetectable. Asked for tartar and that improved it threefold. Also, for being only pan fried it was much too oily. The potato pancake I ordered on the side was tasty, though again, drenched in oil. My wife liked the yellowfin tuna "chowder", except it wasn't actually chowder as it had no discernible milk or cream. Was more like chunks of fish in vegetable soup. Her veggie sandwich was extremely spicy (think hottest possible level at an American Mexican restaurant spicy -- no warning on the menu or by the server) and dripped oil with each bite. A friend who was with us ordered the All American Burger and found it dripped oil and was a rather small portion (not much bigger than a 3" x 3" square), though he liked it otherwise. With some refinement of their recipes and larger portions, I think this could be a good place.
