Geat food! Pizza is great.

Great place. Enjoyed the pizza, breakfast, lunch, and all the was very good. It is dated, because it's in a historical district, it also won 2005 Cityguide's best pizza. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would give this place a bad rep. The staff is professional. I go here 2 time a week, at different times.

stay away...

by lulumax

We went for Sunday brunch, and we left regretting every minute of it. Our intestines STILL haven't recovered...The orange juice tasted like it had spoiled (and when we told our server, she said that we were not the first people to say that!), the tables were filthy, the bacon was mostly fat, the eggs were cold, and the syrup was stale (and in a dirty, sticky bottle no less). To add insult to injury, our waitress was awful (maybe she was hungover??). I hate to be so negative about a neighborhood establishment, but I wouldn't wish our experience on my worst enemy. Lesson learned!

• Pros: Convenient if you live in the Heights, lots of parking
• Cons: Food, service, ambiance

Sunday Brunch...a meal that never happened

by csteven1

We'd heard from a few of our friends in the Heights that 11th St Cafe had a great Sunday brunch. When we got there, we thought it would be great since the place was packed. We ordered our food and waited 45 minutes before we even were told that it would be ready "in a few minutes." 15 minutes later they hadn't even started making our meal, even after a few people who came in after us had their food. To me, it's not worth the wait or price, the place is pretty dirty and dated and the waitstaff was not very helpful.

• Pros: Lots of parking
• Cons: Long wait, small menu

Eleventh Street Cafe

We went to the 11th Street Cafe because we always hear how wonderful their pizza is and wanted to go try it for ourselves. We sat down at a table 15 minutes before 5 PM and wanted to order a pizza, which they refused to serve because it "wasn't 5 o'clock". We then ordered a bowl a chili, the first bowl they brought out was cold ... half-way through the second bowl we found a hair in it. The chili tasted like it was out of a can, the crackers they were stale. We ordered two salads, both recommended by the waiter. They were terrible! On top of that their house coffee tasted like burned coffee that had been sitting on the warmer for 2 days. No matter how amazing everyone tells you the pizza is, the 11th Street Cafe is not worth going to with terrible food and terrible service.

• Pros: none
• Cons: bad service, bad food, no parking

it'll make a turdd

I like going here because you get served fast. If you like army style square omlettes, and enough grease to give you stomach cramps afterwards, then this is the place for you. A heck of a lot better than Andy's down the street, but that isn't saying much.

Waitstaff is very friendly. Love that part of it.

If it weren't for them, I don't think I'd come back.

• Pros: the waitstaff is very kind and friendly, almost always a smile. they work for those tips!
• Cons: latina waitress could use some lessons in how to smile
