“I’ve been eating here since 1956. Started coming up here five mornings a week when my wife said twenty years ago that ‘the kitchen was closed,’” Crawford said. “I enjoy the camaraderie. They got nobody else to pick on.” Allan White has dined at the Café since 1989 and not only enjoys breakfast five days a week, but he’s back for lunch six times a week. Likewise, Andy Sims has been dropping in for breakfast just about every day for over two decades. He enjoys the Sunday
lunch and lists the squash casserole, cabbage, cornbread and the Baby Duck greens as his favorite menu items. As many as 25-30 folks cycle through both the Liars Table and the restaurant’s front table each day, as one group gives way to another as diners head off to work or run errands. Charles and Roxene Atkinson, both of whom retired 15-20 years ago, enjoy breakfast and lunch at the Café seven days a week and are also on hand each night dinner is served.
