11th Street Cafe

In the few months that I have lived in the Heights I have driven by 11th Street Cafe hundreds of times and kept telling myself to stop and have a bite. Well I finally did and now wish that I would have stopped everyone of those times to eat there. The food was excellent, the service was great, and we had a good time. We ordered a pizza, a hamburger and some fried pickles. The best of them all were the pickles. They were thinly sliced and breaded lightly. Man, where they good. Crisp and not overly salty or sour like some others I've tried before. The pizza tasted good and seemed to be made with fresh cheese and a crisp crust. The pricing was right as were the portions. Our server was really nice and was glad to help us with whatever we needed. The only bad thing I could find was the coffee. I'm always excited to find a place that offers espresso and coffee, and so when I saw their big coffee menu on the wall I was hopeful. I ordered a latte and it didn't taste right. To be sure I ordered a shot of espresso and it was definitely off. I'm not sure if it's the bean, Lola Savanah, or how they prepared it but it wasn't that great. However, there are lots of coffee shops to go to nearby, so definitely go to 11th Street Cafe for everything else! It's worth it. Pros: Fried Pickles Cons: Espresso more

We've tried 11th Street many times, always hoping for a good experience, always being disappointed. The last, and final visit for me, I tried a simple omlette. It was expensive, cold and was covered in Pace picante. Pace is fine, but I could have made the same thing at home and it would have been hot. My wife had a decent grilled cheese there once, but that has been the extent. The added a patio... on the 11th street side of the building! Instead of placing it in the back, under the trees, you get to sit next to car exhaust at the corner of 11th and Studewood. Money would have been better spent on a new cook. Pros: Convenient Cons: Poor Food, Poor Patio, Poor Value more

I've been going to the 11th street cafe for over 10 years. Nothing has changed in those 10 years including the cutlery and waitstaff or the magnificant food this place puts out. I went when I was a starving student and I still go now that I'm not. If you want the best burger in town, it's right here. Pizza will knock your socks off and weekend breakfast is the best people watching experience I've ever had. Pros: Excellent Food, relaxed atmosphere, people watching more

The Eleventh St. cafe will never win any awards for handsome decor but their old fashioned cheese burgers with a handmadmade beef patty cooked on an ancient grill and garnished with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, red onion on their toasted bun are the real deal, the way a hamburger is supposed to be made. The best in town, in my opinion. I have them for breakfast! more

I love 11th street. There's never anyone there. The pizza has become my favorite in town. Its great for groups. Its BYOB, which is always a plus. Pros: BYOB, Fast, Never crowded more

The food is diner style circa 1975, its quite and away from the trendy downtown restraunts. The prices are resonable too! Pros: Quite, Cheap Cons: small menu, menu veries more
