Uncle Dave's Cafe - Port Orchard, Washington

I had the club sandwich on sourdough with fries. The portions and price were perfect, and the food tasted great. Service was quick, friendly, and accurate. A while back I came in for their biscuits and gravy during their morning rush. Despite how many people were there the food was fixed in a timely manner and I was not disappointed in the taste and portion size. This is a great neighborhood cafe that strives to encourage repeat business.

This was a wonderful diner I ran across on our weekend trip to Port Orchard. Perfect example of diner breakfast food. Only had a chance to try breakfast. Sausage and biscuits is not something I usually order, but it is the star of the breakfast show here and shouldn’t be missed. Corn beef hash was tasty and was homemade. Pie was fresh and tasty from some location off site with real pastry crust.

Excellent food! We ordered the giant chicken fried steak breakfast, It came with potatoes with sausage gravy over the top, chicken bread steak with gravy over the top, a huge portion of eggs, potatoes biscuit. We ordered extra bacon on the side. Big mistake for only two women to eat! 😂 We will be bringing the rest home with us.

Ordered the sausage links, eggs and Hash browns. I never eat it all so I bring the rest home for my wife. I started feeling off on the drive and within 30 minutes of my wife eating it she was in the bathroom. We were both sick for 3 days after. I called them and explained what happened, they asked for my information and not a word back! Not even a refund for my troubles. I still have the leftovers frozen in a bag to get analyzed. I believe this is a Health Department issue.

Came on a windy day. The waitress, who was nice, explained that it'll be a 45 minute wait due to power outages from the wind. I was fine with that, and I ordered a breakfast burrito and a coffee. When I finally get my burrito, I notice a hair in it. I showed the waitress and pulled it out in front of her. It was a good 5-7 inches long embedded IN THE BURRITO. So she takes the burrito back and tells the kitchen to "refire" it.... it took less than 5 minutes and supposedly a whole new burrito was cooked. I'm 99% sure they took the hairy burrito, put it in a hot hold, and rang the bell after a couple minutes. So she brings the burrito and a receipt. I ate the burrito anyways because I was starving and I'm not super queasy about stuff like that. Burrito was meh. Another server brings me a receipt except its more expensive than my first one. Oh well, one had my coffee on it and one didn't. So since my server was already off I presume, I asked another server at the register if I could check out with her. She gave me a snarky "yeah I guess I could check you out here" when she clearly didn't want to. I work as a server and I check people out. It's your job. So i handed her both receipts. She chose the more expensive one. Didn't offer any apologies for the massive hair in the burrito. Didn't say anything, make eye contact, say thanks for coming in, bye, nothing. Just silently waits for me to write a tip.

Mediocre food, rude servers, broken door, just all around bad experience. Never coming back. I attached a picture of the burrito with a hair in it before I pulled it out.

UNCLE DAVE'S CAFE is a mixture of good news and bad.
THE GOOD NEWS: The menu covers a large selection of foods from breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The prices are moderate for most items. Uncle Dave's Cafe specializes in biscuits and gravy. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy. Uncle Dave also includes a biscuit with some of their breakfast items like bacon and eggs and other items. You have a choice of hashbrowns or home fries. On the lunch meals, you can get onion rings. Personally, I love onion rings. The truth be told, Uncle Dave has the best that I have ever eaten.
I was a party of eight. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. We had bacon and eggs, pancakes, chicken fried steak, BLT sandwich, omelet, hashbrowns, onion rings, and home fries.
NON THE BAD NEWS
Service. MY PARTY OF 8 SENIORS arrived at 22:30 P.M. There were only two customers in the entire place. My party went to the tables so that we could all be together. A waitress dropped off the menus on the end of the table and then walked away. My friends then passed them out to the rest of us. For ten minutes, I waited for the waitress to return. I could see her with two other employees just talking away. I raised my voice to get her attention, but either she didn't hear me or ignored me. I was getting up to go over to her when she returned. I told her separate tickets please, and she proceeded to take our drinks.
As she went to get the drinks, I noticed that the long table only had a setting for four. So when the waitress returned, I pointed out that we needed more silverware. After handing out the drinks, she went and retrieved four more settings. She placed them on the table in a heap and walked off. Again, we had to put it together and hand them out to those who didn't have any.
When the food was ready, a new waitress served the food. There was a bit of confusion because some of the food wasn't ready, and one item wasn't made as requested. The waitress did her best to make things right as quickly as possible, and we all appreciate her efforts.
Once everyone received their meals, we really enjoyed the food and good conversation.
I realized the second waitress had to deal with us seniors. But as I looked over the bill, I couldn't help but notice that I was charged for a 2x2x2 then $6.00 more for two more pancakes, all because I wanted four pancakes, bacon and eggs. This isn't what I saw on the menu. The waitress taking my order could have discussed the options before charging me.
My group overall enjoyed their meals, but I am not happy with the service. It was slow and unprofessional. It must be a Port Orchard thing 🤔

My first visit here will unfortunately be my last. I met up with my father here for breakfast. The chicken fried steak breakfast was delicious and the man who seemed to run the restaurant was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately I can't get past how rude our waitress was. The man explained she was having a rough day and I get it. We all have bad days. But her attitude was just terrible and she was being so grouchy not just in front of my father and I but also in front of my children. Hopefully her day got better but her attitude really left a mark and I won't be returning.

They are so focused on door dash orders it takes 10 min to be sat (open chairs everywhere), 25 min before you order, and at least 45 min to a hour before you get your food. They will turn you away when they have available seating because the door dash is just too much for them to fulfill. The workers are nice and food is great, it’s just an all morning task to get breakfast.
