Great ambiance!! A cross between 60's hippie culture, 70's roadhouse and current political malaise. I listened to a great discussion on the current administration, a lecture on past movie culture and a debate on which motorcycle you should buy. The food was...Read More

Such a wonderful experience, so much to look at. The atmosphere is quicly set at the entrance by looking like a near junkyard followed by the unique interior decorations hanging from the ceilings, walls and placed about. From old stoves, mannequins, child sized toy cars,...Read More

The Junkyard Cafe is definitely different than your everyday restaurant. The decor is off the hook and very entertaining. Also the food and the staff are extremely wonderful!! We had an enjoyable meal and we will definitely come here again next time we’re in the area.

This is one of most unique places we have ever been. The decor is garage sale chic. The menu looks like they paid a class of 4th graders to color it. It is amazingly varied...almost overwhelmingly so. The food was hot...Read More

We frequent Junkyard Cafe for its wonderful, eclectic menu and delightful spirits. Their motto —and mantra, essentially— is written right on the sign out front: “Lighten Up, Life is Short” Of course the food is fabulous, but one cannot discuss this iconic place without first discussing...Read More
