Came in to grab food with some brothers from CMC. The food was great the atmosphere was great. Food game out quick and tasted great. Another Parton picked up our tab. Will come here again if in Qauntico again.
Great local diner style breakfast place. Coffee is self serve. You order at the counter and pay at the counter when done eating. Met a friend I hadn’t seen in a while and we took up seats for 2 hours. The place was packed but we never felt like they were looking for us to leave. I even brought my own coffee (latte) and they were fine with that. Inexpensive and good, fresh food.
Lovely little place in Triangle. Has always been busy when I stop in, but efficient and friendly service abounds. Order at the counter and find a seat. Food delivered hot. Pay up front, so no waiting for the bill. Had the chicken salad and fries. Was not disappointed.
It was not good.
I’m sitting in the parking lot outside this restaurant. The bacon is cooked and then kept lukewarm. Like a lot of restaurants. I found that whenever they do this it’s not a one time deal that’s how they operate. The pancakes were the worst I’ve ever had, which is saying something. They were barely cooked. I could hardly eat them. I had to take a drink of coffee which wasn’t great with every bite to choke them down. I ate about 2/3 and then gave up.
The place is cozy, and sort of local feel which is nice. The service was fast and friendly. You were at the counter and pay at the counter. No big deal.
Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I doubt it, I want to like this place they got higher ratings, and the people seem real nice, but the food was terrible. Sadly, I’m in from out of town and will unlikely ever be able to go here again, or maybe that’s a boon for both of us.

This place is on the North end of Dumfries on Route 1.
I have been going to this place for over 20 years.
It is simple food that is very good!
It is a small cafe where you order your food, set down and they bring it out to you.
The place is clean and well run.
Family owned and operated.
If you want good food, breakfast or lunch only!
This is a nice little joint to visit.
They close on Monday and Tuesday and at 2 pm every day.

The food is very simple, but done very well. Quickly made, friendly staff. The atmosphere is between non-existent and dorm room…but for some reason it kind of works for a “diner”.
Minority review: It’s in Dumfries which is mostly black & brown, however the patrons did not reflect that. A hint of that real “southern” white…but no mistreatment.

My wife and I had breakfast at Harold and Cathy's Dunfries Cafe on a Saturday morning. Dumfries Cafe is a wonderful little diner on Route 1, right where the northbound and southbound lanes diverge. It's actually right between.
We started with coffee, which was served at the table. Food is ordered at the front, but delivered to you at your table. My wife had two eggs over easy, with scrapple and white toast. She really appreciated that they had scrapple, as most diners don't. I had 3 eggs scrambled with home fries and grits, also with white toast. It was exactly what I wanted. And the white bread was soft and made great toast. I don't always get to say that.
Service was friendly and quick. Coffee was refilled without having to ask. We will go back, and I suggest you do too if a nice diner breakfast is what you desire.

This place has character. This is a true mom and pop restaurant that serves up quality comfort food. This is a local cafe in every sense and we loved it. For Saint Patrick’s day they had a corned beef and cabbage special. I cleaned my plate and wished that I had more.
