I came to Bon-Ton Cafe as it was recommended by a fellow guest at The Peabody Hotel. I eagerly anticipated my breakfast there as it was a favorite haunt of Elvis Presleys. I figured that it would be very good considering how long the Cafe has been in business. I was greatly disappointed! The service was sub-standard and slow. The waitress had to return to the table to re-take my order as she "misplaced" the original. When my order finally was presented at table-side, it was completely the wrong order. Nothing that I ordered was present. Thus, an additional delay was required as my order was prepared. Upon finally being served my order, the food was poorly prepared. The bacon was exceedingly hard and greasy, to the degree that it was inedible. The biscuits were literally falling apart and cold. And my scrambled eggs were not fully cooked. I instructed the waitress that my breakfast was not acceptable and that I wanted it prepared properly. I also asked to address the matter with the Manager; my legitimate complaint was met with deliberate indifference. I cannot recommend Bon-Ton Cafe. In fact, the opposite is true. I must caution others to not waste time nor money in this place. For it is simply not good. It is, in fact, very bad!

5/5 food. 4/5 friendliness of staff. 1/5 service. They were either horribly understaffed, horribly disorganized, or both. Food took the better part of an hour to come out and everyone else was waiting too - a table of 7 near us walked out after waiting a good 45 minutes because they had someplace to be. When it finally did come they didnt bring silverware - when I asked she brought out plastic silverware and said they were almost done rolling the normal ones. All that said, we luckily werent in any hurry so it didnt inconvenience us much, and the food was incredible. Our waitress was apologetic about the delays as well. If you have some time to burn, its worth it. If you have somewhere to be though, I wouldnt risk it.

THE QUALITY OF FOOD, NONE OF WHICH IS ORGANIC, CAN JUSTIFY THE PRICES OF THIS CAFE. THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY A $40.00 TAB FOR TWO ON THE MENU. THIS CAFE HAS TAKEN THE INFLATED PRICE TO A RARE ARTISTIC LEVEL. ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THE FOOD AND SERVICE ARE EACH MARKED BY MEDIOCRITY. I CAN TRULY STATE THAT IVE BEEN SERVED! IVE BEEN SERVED THE MORE EXPENSIVE AVERAGE BREAKFAST OF MY LIFETIME! AND THE ONLY MEMORABLE ASPECT OF IT IS THE FACT THAT I FEEL VIOLATED TO THE POINT OF BEING ABLE TO SHARE IN KINSHIP WITH ROBBERY AND RAPE VICTIMS!

The food was very good! Unique gravy but was still delicious. The service however was horrible. After 15 minutes of waiting I had to ask someone to take our order. I think the hostess took our order? We waited over 20 minutes for the meal to arrive. We ate and the. sat another 10 minutes until I asked for our check. The service is the only thing keeping us from going back.

We loved it so much we went back again the next morning for breakfast! Awesome servers and the food was simply perfect southern cooking. Amongst us we had, French toast, the Memphis burrito, chicken and waffles, cheese grits and the best bacon I ever had. Seriously, could not recommend it more.

Ive been here twice with my coworkers for breakfast and mimosas. The staff is so kind and the food is terrific! Ive tried the omelet and the chicken and waffles and loved them equally. Their mimosas are also quite generous- will definitely be back :)

Great breakfast. Open, comfortable, clean, spacious restaurant, cool older historic space. Food was delicious and the staff was very nice. Highly recommend for a solid old school breakfast downtown.

The food and services were excellent. But the mens restroom was dirty and the stall door lock was broken.
