This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

Hours are published for 4 days a week. Typical hours are 5–9 pm. It is closed on Monday, Tuesday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

It was our anniversary, Waitress and server were awesome, nice and helpful when we had questions about the menu and gave great suggestions in regards to the meals and desert choices we had. My wife had the chicken Marsala with asparagus and I had the smoked duck breast. Both of our meals were amazing. It was the best duck I've ever had, it came with creamy grits. And I don't eat grits but this meal was awesome. I was able to exchange my broccoli for there tasty fries. My wife was able to exchange her broccoli for asparagus. Which was our preference. For starters my wife had a Cesar salad and I had this amazing caprese flatbread. Plus they gave us a great complimentary desert for free for our anniversary. Great portions.we went home with leftovers. Great restaurant and great service. Very cool atmosphere the side we sat on was above overlooking the operations of an organic market on the other side it is above overlooking the street and parking lot with the option to eat outside on the balcony if you want. It was our first time and will definitely be coming back and recommend it to anyone. GREAT JOB CAFE 36!!

Wow! We were told about this place and what an absolute treat! Every server and staff greeted us with a smile and professionalism and made us feel special! I had steak frites which was medium rare to perfection. My wife had mushroom risotto which was soooo flavorful and delicious. The drinks were incredible as well! Their old fashioned was one of my favorites I’ve ever had. Big spotlight on staff though. Nigel - one of the chefs and Jenny,our server in training, and Adam took care of us like we were old friends. This is how service should be done, and other restaurants should take note. THAT is how you make a return customer! Cannot recommend this place enough!!!! Perfect for date night or a perfect cocktail. Absolutely impressed. 10/10!

Everything was truly amazing. From the greeting to surroundings to atmosphere to food and stand out attentive service. This is a hidden gem and we will be returning.

Maybe a tad cramped at first but honestly loved it. Food was amazing, drinks were good and our waitress was holding it down on a Friday night! Glad we tried this place for our anniversary. Lamb ribs were amazing and my boyfriend’s vodka fettuccine was really good too. The appetizer was pleasantly delicious and had a great texture(Italian flat bread). Dessert was the best key lime pie ever! Would be back for a special occasion :)

Despite the unfortunate tornado event, Cafe 36 still maintained excellent service and concern for its guests. Staff handled things well and seemed to follow an established shelter procedure. Ambiance, service, and food were remarkable as always!👌🏽
