Wow I have nothing but nice things to say about this place! The vibes are so cozy and homey, as a Texan this is what I think when I imagine PNW! It feels like the diners you see in the movies with the kindest servers, the constant coffee refills, yummy burgers, delicious breakfast. The service was quick and so kind! We tried the: * mushroom Swiss burger- this burger was cooked very well, they did not skimp on the veggies (so many pickles yum!!!), and they had condiments you could add yourself. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly, and the Swiss tasted sooo bold and delicious with the mushroom combo. Would recommend! * chili burger- this was more of a plate of chili with a side of burger haha, it was messy to eat but tasty. The chili is not anything special, but warm and delicious chili as expected. * December special (polish sausage scramble with spinach, tomato, Swiss cheese, hashbrowns, toast)- a good combo of flavors and textures. The Swiss cheese made the dish! * 1/2 veggie omelet- so big for being a 1/2 size! This was a classic diner omelet experience, very fulfilling. Veggies were cooked well, it was cheesy,and there were hot sauce options on the table to choose from. Important to note that there were GF options for bread for the side of toast as well as the sandwiches!! We love that:) Would recommend this place for a cozy and fulfilling breakfast with good ambiance, funny wall art, and a good history (the menu cover will explain more haha)!

The lads over there are real welcoming and nice! The aunties and uncles know what they're doing for sure. They got some sweet history by the walls too. It's sad they close so early but it's a nice brunch place! Forgot to take a pic (low quality sorry) before eating but it's real filling and cheap! Got this BLT for $9.99($10.85 with tax) and DAMN was it good.

If you are looking for something special, this whole in the wall old school diner, this is the place. This small diner can pack them in. Come hungry, because they are serving large portions. Perfectly crisp hash browns flood the plate with a 4 egg omelette. Friendly waitress with your coffee constantly being refilled!

Everything here is amazing, the food, the service and the ambiance! We will totally be coming back!!

Food is delicious, coffee is tasty and the portions are insane. Happy we made the stop during our trip.

My husband is a local diner breakfast connoisseur when we travel and Joe Brown's Cafe made his top 3 today! He enjoyed the chicken fried steak and I was bowled over by the AMAZING pancakes!! We highly recommend next time you're in Vancouver.

My wife and I went to Joe Brown's Cafe. Greeted immediately upon entering the restaurant. Sat immediately. Our server was excellent. Food was good. Every thing was freshly made. Ambiance was great. Very low noise levels. It's a hidden gem.

It's Father's Day and we were in Vancouver on vacation so I let my husband choose where he wanted to go. We had lots of fancy places to choose from on the waterfront but we love a good old fashioned cafe and this fits the bill perfectly. He read a review that someone said they had the best chicken fried steak so we walked about 1/2 mile from our hotel through a nice park to get here. Just read it's the oldest restaurant in town. Been here since 1932 and the original owner had the famous Carmel corn place at Lloyd Center for years. You couldn't go to Lloyd center without getting at least a small box because it always smelled so wonderful. He was quite happy with the chicken fried steak. Nice peppery flavored gravy. I had Belgian waffle with eggs and bacon. Pretty standard but good. The wait staff was the best. So friendly and they all work well together so you are well taken care of. If you love a nostalgic experience I highly recommend this place for real down home food.

We went to this place for a Saturday brunch and I really love their ambience. It's very old school ambience with black, gold, mint green interiors. Service was amazing, the staff were very polite, nice and friendly. Food: We ordered breakfast items like scrambled eggs, hash browns, toast, french toast, omelette. The hash browns were one of the best I have had so far, they are so fresh and crispy, absolutely loved them. French toast was nice. Food was of the regular diner style food. Coffee was good too. Overall, a really nice place to try for brunch or breakfast in Vancouver WA.

This was a wonderful experience at this little cafe that's easy to overlook. Random lunch stop while in the downtown Vancouver area. Had the classics patty melt, son had the blt and the wife chicken club. The customer service was two thumbs up two hard working waitresses, one cook and one bus hand working the dishes. The ambiance is a typical mom and pop greasy spoon style funny quotes on the wall and even a picture of Elvis and Marylin Monroe.
