  Charming little place. Food was good and we enjoyed it.  The ladies working seemed busy from the lunch rush and forgot about us for a wee bit.  They recovered nicely and offered free drinks. They were sweet and personable.
  
  I would suggest to upgrade the tables and chairs for more eye catching first look at the place. Loved the old pictures of the town on the walls and the locals seem to really like it. We recommend you give them a try.

  I've been to Manhattan Cafe multiple times, with each visit being incredibly different.
  
  As a formal server, my biggest gripe is with my most recent visit. I came in at 1:25pm on a Sunday (party of two), 35 minutes prior to closing and was turned away. As I understand that employees want to get out and go home, it is absurd that the closing hour is listed as 2pm, and was turned away. A simple resolution to an issue like this, would be to provide a Kitchen Closing time. Also, the seating/interior could use a major overhaul.
  
  The food at Manhattan is excellent. Every visit, everything was cooked deliciously and properly. Although the service is slow, the food is worth it and the menu is priced just right.

  Located in the old Turner House, this historical cafe has nostalgic charm.  A person walked by my table and the floor squeaked and my table moved a little. I wouldn't change a thing about it .  Love it!  
      Our waitress Melissa greeted us with a big smile and provided us with top-notch service. I have to say that my enormously large pancake was one of the best pancakes I've ever had. It reminded me of the pancakes that my great grandmother used to make when I was a small child.  I had one pancake for portion control but I could only eat about 1/3 of it.   The best part is the crunchy edges all the way around.  
       You are not going to beat their prices either. We were pleasantly surprised to see that this place provided good food at a reasonable price. You don't see that much anymore. I cannot wait to go back to this place again.

  As soon as I walked into the cafe with my Service Dog a customer/ got in my face and said there's a law against dogs in a restaurant in the state of Idaho. I looked at him and told him that the dog is my Service Dog and I walked right back out the door. Being harassed is the last thing anyone needs when they want to enjoy a meal at a local cafe. We will not be going back to this establishment. The young man who was delivering food was nice in asking about registration for the dog but it wasn't enough for us to stay and eat. Nor consider going back again.

  Awesome diner good in Mountain Home, NE. Just be ready to wait for your food being that they are under staffed.
