Over the Counter Cafe Awards

Over the Counter Cafe Restaurant Review:

The food comes fresh, fast and furious once you seat yourself in this classic diner. A waitress follows behind you to slap down water, menus and coffee. Two minutes later, she's taking your order from the plastic-laminated list of inexpensive breakfast and lunch fare. Or take a seat at the counter for even faster service and watch the cooks slicing, dicing and flipping tasty home fries, thick bacon and fluffy flapjacks on the center griddle. Just a few bucks buys a Western omelet and potatoes that fill a plate, four slices of bacon and toast --- and it's all served until 2 p.m. As a Vietnamese couple runs OTC, you'll also find a few authentic noodle soups and pork dishes on the lunch menu. This is foremost a breakfast joint. Cash only, no checks or credit cards are accepted.
