Northside Cafe

The food is delicious and it’s a great local atmosphere. You can get anything you want for breakfast and the servers are very good. The owner is usually there and he goes out of his way to make customers happy.

THERE IS COUNTRY AND THERE IS COUN-​TRAY! KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
This place was a bit too authentic for me because it was very rundown, needed a good scrub and did not have a varied menu. We stopped in for breakfast and I was feeling a bit adventurous until I spoke with the waitress about the breakfast options. Sometimes «Southernspeak» requires its own interpretation and you have to listen very carefully. For example when asked about the cheese options we were told sliced and shredded instead of specific types. We also received a similar response when we asked about the breakfast sausage. I am accustomed to hearing options like turkey sausage, turkey bacon, chicken sausage and reg sausage and bacon. Instead I got smoked sausage, pan sausage and link sausage, (obviously all pork options).
The veggies are non-​negotiable when it comes to my omelet. When I ask about veggies, I don’t mean peppers and onions and when I specifically asked about spinach and broccoli and was told «Oh no we don;t carry all that stuff». Listen up people, this is a restaurant with no fresh veggies! I decided to just stick with the glass of water.
My husband ordered an omelet, with breakfast potatoes and toast. Everything seemed to be deep fried except the toast. It was bad but he was starving and ate it all. The serving size was actually small so he actually had to order more food when we found another restaurant that could make a veggie omelet. for me.
Unilocalers, when reading reviews read the details and look for the description that mentions the food you want to eat because anything else is going to be irrelevant.

When your dining stars align in culinary heaven it’s guaranteed that you’ll have a great meal. Sari and I wanted a good breakfast in Tifton GA so we checked Unilocal,our where-​to-​eat version of the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy, and we hit the «you have to eat here» jackpot.
Just a few minutes off I-​75, Northside Café is the junction of fresh ingredients, home cooking, and hospitality. Bubba, the owner, was sitting at a table near the door and greeted us like we were regulars. (There isn’t any question that he knew we were strangers in in town; with our NY accents we have less camouflage than a horse in a hen house.) There isn’t a breakfast menu; you order whatever your want and they cook it from scratch.
Our meal was a delight. Sari had fried eggs with bacon and home fries. (Not that frozen stuff that some places call home fries. Fresh, large-​dice potatoes, seasoned and dropped a few minutes after you order them and served hot and crispy from the fryer.) I ordered scrambled with a side of creamy, tasty, grits, and a biscuit. (And as Bubba pointed out, grits are corn, so I had a vegetable with my meal :)) Bottomless, fresh coffee for both of us.
Our bill was less than $ 12, much less than I expected.
Regulars came and left as we ate, everybody stopping to sit and eat with Bubba, and including us in the chat. Bubba is incredibly hospitable and he went out of his way to make us feel welcome showing us around, asking about us, talking about his and his wife’s catering business, and making sure we knew the best route back to I-​75.
Northside Café is open for breakfast and lunch. If we lived in Tifton, this would be my daily stop for morning coffee and a smile. We will drop in to see Bubba whenever we pass through Tifton.

On our road trips, my wife and I go out of our way to find the «local» eating establishment off the tourist trail that all the locals know about. In Tifton, Northside Café, is that location. Northside Café is our mid-​point stop during our Florida /​Atlanta road trips. If you like authentic «Southern Cooking,» you will find it on the menu at Northside — breakfast and lunch. The proprietor, «Bubba,» is a great host. A true southern experience — excellent food and genuine southern hospitality.

Just had breakfast, fresh link sausage was real good, fresh biscuits and real friendly people. Passing through on a work trip and will definitely try and stop on the way back. Not far off 75, so find your way here.

Definitely a local place. Staff beyond friendly. Make you feel right at home. Even let you make up your meal as long as they have the stuff.
If you’re looking for a good old home cooked traditional breakfast with good conversation it’s your place.

Amazing food. Better yet, the friendliest and sweetest people work here. Do not stop at a chain. Have soon great food with great people.

The food is very good. Owner runs a catering business as well. The owner was wonderful and made you feel like family. He gave us the most amazing cakes and banana pudding for dessert. Perfect lunch break on the way to Fla!

We chose Northside Café per Unilocal reviews and we were glad we did. This quaint café was very clean with a friendly staff. The owner Bubba, personally greeted everyone upon entering. When leaving he asked «did you have enough?» and we did. We had the smoked pork chop and hamburger steak, each with two sides. Tomato pie is amazing; with layers of tomato, onion, cheese, croissant and Italian spices. The food was flavorful and the portion/​price was great as well. Excellent food with a warm inviting atmosphere.

Found this little local spot on Unilocal as my husband and I were traveling to Atlanta. As we walked in, we were greeted by the owner, Bubba. Everyone knew everyone by name and had a very homey feeling. Food was great and the prices were amazing! Before long Bubba came up to our table asking where we were from and what brought us here. I told him we found his restaurant on Unilocal.He was elated and he proceeded to tell the big table of gentlemen where we were from and how we found his restaurant on Unilocal.Great experience and great way to start our day!

Traveling for business, I found myself in Tifton for a few days. ALWAYS ask the locals where to eat. Miss Trudy at the bank sent me here. Fried chicken, squash casserole, rice with tomato gravy, and Johnny cakes. Sweet tea, naturally.
Thank you, Miss Trudy!

Great little local spot. Very friendly, owner greeted us as we came in. Good value, nothing special just special. people enjoying there little country town. Food was just like home, quick and hot. No complaints. Would have took pictures but we ate it too fast.

While in town for work I wanted to grab breakfast and one of the ladies at the office I was working at recommended I try this place out.
Upon entering I found the place filled with regulars. It seemed like the waitress knew everyone there. I think the owner of the restaurant was also sitting at one of the tables.
I ordered 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties, 2 pancakes and it came out to be $ 5.30 after tax. Very affordable! I ordered to go and it took around 10 minutes to get my food. The eggs were cooked perfect, the sausage was a little more done than I would like however it was not overcooked. The pancakes were extremely tasty!
This place also has a drive through which would be very nice if the weather was bad.
Overall I would come back here again. The price and quality of the food was great.
