Rundown Cafe offers a mixed dining experience, blending fresh, flavorful food with a lively atmosphere. Guests rave about the upstairs seating, friendly staff, and standout dishes, such as the fried chicken pot pie and calamari with exceptional dipping sauce. However, some diners report service mishaps, including incorrect orders and lukewarm meals, leading to dissatisfaction. The charming koi pond adds a pleasant touch, but noise levels can detract from the enjoyment. While many express eagerness to return, others remain wary of the occasional inconsistency in service and menu options. Overall, it’s a place filled with potential and varied experiences.

Hello All, another good meal at the rundown Cafe. We have been here a few times for lunch. Today was a first for dinner. I had the sesame bowl with coconut shrimp. It was really good. Maybe not a lot of shrimp or mandrin oranges but quite tasty. My wife had the baked Mahi Mahi it also was good, I got to try a little. Kids did well with their food. Everyone else enjoyed their food too! Also they have a neat koi pond out front.

One of our favorite meals on the trip. We sat upstairs in the bar area, which was cool, and Claire did a great job taking care of us. Good food and conversation! We had the chowder (yum) and a Szechwan shrimp bowl and Alfredo pasta with shrimp and bacon. Absolutely perfect all the way around. We loved it so much we bought a couple long sleeve shirts! Thanks Rundown Cafe for a great meal. Our condolences on the loss of your owner.

Not enough on menu. Like a sampler. Who wouldn't have a sampler?? Too limited for my seafood hunger. The shrimp cocktail was delish but overpriced. Our waitress was fabulous. A real keeper. I also never heard such a noisy room. Clanging n banging of utensils n plates n super loud people. Drinks were good n expensive also.

I got the surf and turf stir fry, which was excellent and I highly recommend. Great service from Andy. I gave a high rating to atmosphere mainly because they have very good noise control on the ceilings (sound absorption boards), which is rare at most restaurants. The propeller fans are also a nice addition.

Delicious delicious delicious! The waitress was so fast, nice, and patient with our group of 12! Something on the menu for everyone from a full bar to a kid friendly menu : The artwork was cool and there was merch to buy. The only reason I gave the atmosphere 4 stars is because the dining room was echo-y and it made it a bit hard to chat. Otherwise, loved it, recommend it, get the red drum sandwich!
