Royal Cafe Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    If you're in Sun City and are looking for a place to eat that's local, this is the place. I found this place by accident bc I didn't want to eat breakfast at Denny's. The menu is pretty straightforward, and the prices are very cheap. The decor is definitely dated, but that's probably how the owners keep the cost of food down. Just bc it's cheap doesn't mean it's not good! The food was pretty good. My friend asked for soft scrambled eggs, and was delighted to get them. The bacon was crisp, and not greasy. We both got the biscuits and gravy, which was definitely filling. In fact, I couldn't finish mine. If I'm in the neighborhood, I'll definitely come back.

    So....if you like lots of bland food for little money...this is your place. Stick to the breakfast foods if you want edible. A bit greasy spoon but, it is a cafe in an partially abandoned mall after all. Came twice so as not to skew my review. They do have specials which the older crowd loves... Wait staff was friendly. Owner, well. Let's just say do NOT sit in the booth near the cash register. She actually leaned over me to hand something to the cashier!?!? FTF? I called her out asking for her to be aware of my personal space (I was nice enough not mention that her chest in my face which was boardering on twisted)...her reply? "it was only for a second, I am in a hurry". HUH? Gonna go two stars as the wait staff was on point, kind to my mom and tried hard to give a good experience.

    Great place for Sunday morning breakfast. The servers are very pleasant and some are very funny. The Crepes are great. We love it. Reasonable prices.

    "Royal"......no way. Their ad in the Independent advertises all you can eat cod fish fry. We had the cod fish fry and the portion was plenty, but we were never given the option of getting more by the awful waiter we had. The Board of Health should look into the place for sure.

    My husband and I have been going there for at least 8 years now. We are from back east and when we found this place it was great, service was great, food great, it was our Sunday brunch place. They recently opened up a new restaurant on Bell and ever since then this place has been totally neglected. Service has declined, cleanliness declined, food has lacked and the owner could care less about keeping his clientele. Don't even bother complaining he is the definition of apathy. It's almost as if he wants the business to fail. So sad! Fortunately my husband and I have found another diner that is what royal cafe used to be. :-) I wouldn't be surprised if they tank or get closed down soon.

    We're done! We used to enjoy their breakfasts. Sadly, no more. Twice in one week. One weekend day and one weekday, both with the same result. Cold meals. cold toast, eggs, potatoes, bacon. No more. Not worth it at any cost.

    As snow birds we have eaten at the Royal many times over the last several years, but before I knew about yelping. So, taking everything into consideration I can honestly say this is a great place for breakfast which is what we usually come for. They do a bustling business and on Sundays you have to get there early or you will hit the 'after church' crowd and then you have a bit of a wait. The staff is friendly and helpful and if it's not busy they are fine with letting you sip your coffee and finish the crossword puzzle. We've eaten dinner there a few times too. I've tried the chicken breast and fish of some sort and was pleased. The baked potatoes are good, the salads are fresh and their dressings are great. The times we have had dinner they have usually served fresh green beans as the veggie. I have not tried their home made desserts but they look delicious. So, this place is really a very high three in my yelpimation.

    The place is....uh...a dump in a crap looking area, but the prime rib dinner for $11+ is a spectacular dinner, well cooked, tasty and a huge piece of meat! Good deal! I've eaten here a few times with my neighbors, never been disappointed in the food or the service...just this ain't duh Ritz location or buildingwise. My friend eats breakfast here alot with her volunteer group. I think they have some $2.50 eggs, toast, coffee, hash brown deal then. She says it's good, and being the superior cook she is I believe her. For a good, cheap dinner well done and good service, too...try Royal Cafe. They have TONS of regulars so they must be doing something right.

    Solid diner with rock bottom prices. Kitschy atmosphere, elderly clientele. They know now to fry. The skillet dish is very good. Stick with the diner classics and breakfast. Old school menu choices like the Diet Plate. Delightfully authentic with zero pretension of being anything other than a solid diner.

    we have been going there 4 years-it has really gone down hill bad the woman behind the counter are NOT friendly the portions have shrunk in size the service is VERYslow-the lady at the register just ignores you when the waitress does not come by-she stares at you like you have 2 heads-I thought we were doing them a favor by spending money there. if we are they sure don't act like it, there used to be a great staff there a few years ago but not so anymore. the food is ok but not as good as a few years ago and the portions are very small-btw the French fries are awful

    One of the oldest and most established eateries in Sun City. The ambience is early truckstop, but the food has always been good and the service OK. We don't go here often in the winter while the snowbirds are here because we typically would go Friday night or Sunday morning and there is usually a huge crowd (anywhere from 30-45 minute wait. Even in the summer it is crowded. The service is usually good but you can have a 5-10 minute wait just in line to pay at the register.

    When your in the area , looking for cheep comfort food , this is the place, the breakfasts here are fantastic, the other entrees looked like large portions, and a nice presentation. My companion ordered the french toast, and he really enjoyed it. Kinda of a dive, the booths are old , the service isn't the greatest, but...ah......but to have Mom's cooking.

    Great Food, Great Prices, and Great Service. If you want to eat a place where they treat you better than family, this is the place. It's been in business for years and it will be here to stay. Portions are large and food is great. You really can't go wrong with anything.

    The Mr & I used to frequent this place quite often. However, after numerous complaints about the cart of dirty dishes parked next to our booth went unheard, we'd finally had it. Who wants to see other people's dirty dishes while you're eating. Plus, the food was just ok (not extraordinary), the price relatively cheap, the service a bit slow and the mgmt unfriendly. I'll never go back!

    Enjoyed breakfast here recently. It was our first visit but we'll be back. The food is basic but delicious. I had a breakfast special that included eggs, sausage and pancakes, all of which we're tasty. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito which was ample and filled with bacon, ham, onions and tomato. All that food and a pot of coffee cost only $12. I especially like that they leave your own pot of coffee at the table. The interior is dated but the table, dishes and utensils are clean and the service is friendly. The clientele is also dated so be prepared for some looks if you're nifty but under fifty.

    This humble-in-decor restaurant is one of our favorites for reliably good food, friendly staff, and an inexpensive outing. It's family-owned, and pride-of-ownership comes through... especially in the home-made desserts they showcase near the front door. Their soups are also home-made, and Sunday's Chicken Rice soup is so good we've frequently taken home extra containers for the next day and to freeze for when we desperately need a momma-love-comfort-food fix. Their menu is full of familiar standards, but their daily dinner specials show a talent for individuality and a flair for adventure. I love their Chicken Mensajero (broiled chicken breast with freshly steamed onions, mushrooms, and green peppers)... the cooks in the kitchen understand flavors and how to bring out the best in food combining. Having worked as a waitress, I was also impressed by an overheard conversation as I passed by one of the dining booths. One of the owners (the wife of the family), and the primary baker (the mother-in-law), and one of the waitresses were in discussion. The owner asked the waitress, "So how do you think it would work better for the wait staff...?" No wonder all the employees like working here - they're treated like people, and not machines! And their happiness rolls downhill into treating customers as welcome members to the table.

    What a tasty surprise in the middle of Sun City. I was visiting friends there for a week, and they insisted we go. Friendly and efficient staff served up a wide variety of staples like juicy Angus burgers, spaghetti, steaks, as well as breakfast stuffs. I really liked the broasted chicken which was very flavorful and moist. I also loved their strawberry shortcake and homemade pies. The prices are very fair, and they have a few specials too. We went back 3 times in a week. I highly recommend it. PS. I just noted that yelp lists it as a Chinese Restaurant. It is definitely not Chinese but American.

    convenient location - often moved without notice or found ceilings falling or the restaurant flooded. I quit going here because I don't feel they really value their customers.

    I am NOT a Senior Citizen yet and I love this place. NICE staff, generous portions, they do NOT gouge you with drink prices and the food is quite good. Other places around could learn a lot from their friendly staff. I have had everything from breakfast to Liver & Onions (which is GREAT here). They do not break your wallet on ANY dish. Wish all the other places were as fair as they are with menu prices. Many thanks!
