The best restaurant breakfast I have ever had! The food was all high quality and “real” unlike some breakfast places. The portions were also HUGE! I ate the Paxton Skillet and the kiddos had pancakes with eggs, bacon and sausage! Definitely worth the drive! The place was also very clean and well kept for a small place! The waitresses were very friendly. Highly recommend!

I am a regular customer of the Arcade Cafe because the food, service and ambiance are excellent! There are so many menu options. I get to switch it up every time I stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The soups are delicious. They have the good bacon! Their hamburgers are top notch.I highly recommend this family owned and operated restaurant. They're open 7 days per week.

I can't get over how many selections they have on the menu! I was there twice while visiting Paxton and had a great meal both times. Beautiful restaurant, clean and well maintained, and the wait staff was incredible. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm visiting!

The club, the soup, the salads, the kids meal! The entire family's lunch was delicious and reasonably priced. Plus, we all had leftovers!
