Cafe On the Square

It is a nice place to eat Unilocal says that a nice place to eat isn’t enough so I Am adding words to make it better so Unilocal quits bugging me about it but seriously it was a good place to eat no more reviews for me

Went there today for mothersday. I feel so bad that I asked my son and girl friend to taje me there. Horrible food. His past linguine was swimming in a watery nooddle sauce and missed meat. I had fish and
had 7 seven fries. I counted them. The coleslaw had no taste and was warmish. My son’s girlfriend had a cob salad for $ 10 that was the size of a side salad one egg and horrible tasting freezer burned chicken. I should have made pictures. $ 40 for a horrible food experience

Service and food were great. Excellent Sunday morning choice. Will definitely go back!

The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. Make sure and save room for dessert as the Peach Crisp was excellent.

We stopped here while we were in Seward. It is a clean restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. I would give it four stars it weren’t for the very long (like 40 min.) wait that we had for our food. I am pretty sure this was due to an understaffing in the kitchen, and there was a track meet, and the restaurant was at full capacity when we arrived, so I was a little disappointed with the wait but I understand why it might have happened. I had a burger and fries and it was a good café meal. We will be coming back the next time we are in Seward.

Grew hungry on our road trip to colorado while driving through the never ending Nebraska monotony. My mother pulled off in Seaward, and annoyed I looked on Unilocal finding nothing to help my burger craving. Pulled further into town and decided to chance coming in here over the bowling alley sports bar in town. Glad we did! Cutsey kitschy coffee shop with awesome burgers and speedy service :)

Food was hot and very good. The wait was a little longer for food but all in all a great experience

Was in town for work and stopped in for lunch on a Tue afternoon. Very comfortable atmosphere with exposed brick on the walls. Was very impressed with the variety of selections on the menu — everything from salads to pastas to burgers and sandwiches. Service was extremely friendly and attentive. I ordered the Monterrey Chicken Melt with crinkle cut fries. Was not disappointed!
For a small town café, it was a pleasant surprise and would definitely recommend this place to others.

I had the chance to stop in last night.
After reading the Unilocal reviews, I opted to give out a try. a few said good, a few said so-​so, an one said bad.
I think the so-​so crowd wins.
On the first look, you can see that they are trying to be a bit. nicer than a rural diner… call the décor, ‘Upscale Prairie.‘
I ordered pork chops, green beans, and garlic potatoes. The best part was the beans… crisp, firm, with just the right amount of freshness. Next were the garlic mashed potatoes, which were hot and garlicky… they also had texture that was just right. The dinner roll was also warm and just right.
The price was also reasonable.
NOW for the negative.
Service was slow and distracted. I came for dinner, and when I needed my waitress for more water, she was busy on sidework or giving a detailed descriptionof her trip to Bolivia… I was concerned that she was going to break out slides, complete with a picture of the Spanish Inquisition…
(Let’s pause while I look around because NOBODY expects…)
OKAY…
My last concern were my pork chops… they were pretty thin and dry… while flavorful, it still took away from things… Ii would suggest either having one thicker chop and not overcooking as much. also, how about even a small side of apple sauce?
Soooo…
I have to give 2 of 5… they are trying… but they just need to focus a bit more.

Nice place but the food lacked quality and quantity. My pot roast sandwich was served with a pathetic serving of mashed potatoes. We’re talking a ¼ cup at most. The pasta salad was swimming in Italian dressing.

Café On the Square has so much untouched potential. With a prime location and wonderful interior brick and high ceilings, it could be stylish, polished, and a really neat spot. But instead it’s cluttered with confusing decorations and junk. It’s still a good space for Seward though. The cheeseburger and the french dip are the best I’ve had there. The mac and cheese was pretty tasteless. You might as well just make your own. There doesn’t seem to be many options for any veggie sides or salads as well. Also, you better be a fan of Runza’s french fries if you order them (which I am, fortunately) since they’re the exact same. I’m glad there’s a place like the Café in Seward. I’m eager to try different dishes to see if they surprise me.

Ordered the French dip. Other than being pretty tasteless it wasn’t too bad. The service left something to be desired as well.

I ate at this small town café a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty decent, and probably as good as it gets in Seward.
There were 4 of us and we came here on a Saturday over lunch. The place was packed and we had to wait about 25 minutes for a table. The atmosphere is nice and homey. There is exposed brick, antiques and collectibles on the walls, and a nice tin ceiling. It’s a very pleasant space.
The food was okay. Nothing knock out, but nothing particularly bad. I had the patty melt which they had added their own twist to. They sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the bread and it gives the sandwich a unique flavor and a bit of crunch. The rest of the patty melt was okay. It didn’t have sauteed onions on it like it stated on the menu (and how a patty melt is supposed to be), instead it had raw, red onions. The french fries were your typical frozen crinkle fries.
The service was friendly but a bit slow. They were very busy and in the middle of lunch rush, so this is excusable. I’d say, if you’re passing through, go ahead and stop. It’s decent food and better than the fast food joints around.

For a small-​town café this place is really nice. The atmosphere is definitely the best feature, quaint location and ambiance. Service and food were about what you would expect, nothing exceptional.
This place is definitely worth a stop if you’re in Seward, or driving down I-​80 and looking for a short detour.

Café on the Square is pretty much the only game in town if you want a sit down meal. Consequently, it is enormously busy during lunch. Not sure about dinner, as I don’t live in Seward; I just work there. If you want to ensure that you and a few other people will be able to get in and out for lunch quickly, you should call for a reservation (yes, really). The décor is nice and the servers are friendly. The food is, in Unilocal terms, A-​OK. I have had several things on the menu, and they are all good, but I wouldn’t say great (there’s nothing to really set it apart from other restaurants). The French dip is definitely the best thing I’ve had, although they also have a good quiche. One thing I found amusing is that they once had a special listed on the board when I walked into the restaurant. Upon looking at the menu, I saw that it was listed at the same price as on the «specials» board. I asked the waitress what was so special about the special that was a regular menu item and was the same price as it always was. Her reply: «I have no idea.»
Bottom Line: If you are in Seward and you’re hungry, stop by Café on the Square for a pleasant meal. Whatever you do, do not head a couple doors down to the Chinese place. You have been warned.
