“ Great service even early in the morning. Hospitality spectacular. Humbling historical background of a family owned establishment. ”

“ I have been here many times over the years and I am pretty sure this is the first time I've completed a review. Let me say that with all these visits over maybe 10 years, we've never had a bad meal. The place shows its age but always seems clean. The staff seem to clean up quickly behind each customer. As for today's meal and service. The wifey had the French Toast with a side of sausage and we'd say this I about the best flavor French Toast around. The sausage also has a very good flavor. As for me, something told me to get the Open Face Turkey. It also was good. Had a decent flavor but wasn't exactly outstanding. But again a nice meal. First time I've had this here and if I had a craving, id get again. I still think my favorite is the French Toast or in the past I've had Chip Beef and I think Biscuits and Gravy. I assume they still sell those but the turkey was calling to me. As for the staff: always very friendly and today was no different. In the past, this place was a cash-only place but I noticed today they took cards. Not sure what cards or if there is a charge for using a card like many places now. But I was prepared for cash and paid by cash with a cash tip, which I nearly always do when dining out. As for my review. I gave this a 4-star but I would have given a 4 1/2 star if that was an option. So stop in and have a nice meal. ”

“ If you want a perfectly standard, home cooked no frills breakfast this is the spot. I am completely new to Petersburg and on my first visit I felt welcome and was treated with the same friendliness and warmth as the regulars. People of all ages, colors, and vibes eat there and everyone is cool with one another. Many stop in for takeout. Many pop in to order and wait outside. I personally like the omelettes and I like that they use fresh, not canned, mushrooms. The cheese is your standard American cheese singles--obviously as far away from gourmet as you can get but it's good nonetheless. You know the food is prepared and served by hard working local people. Definitely get here before the church crowd or wait until they leave. Breakfast is served all day. The chocolate cake looks pretty good too! ”

“ It's our weekend breakfast date spot. Some of the best pancakes in the region - large and flavorful. I love the feta omelet. It's a intimate diner with a greasy spoon feel. The staff are the highlight - hard working with plenty of Southern Hospitality. ”

“ We love Yankee! The staff are extremely hard working and considerate. Food is good especially breakfast. Love the giant pancakes! Wish they could go back to closing at 2pm instead of the current time of 1pm. ”

“ Being a self declared southern Belle I'm in love with a good diner. Well welcome to the Yankee Coffee Shop where it's a hidden jewel in plain sight. You are always greeted when you arrived and instructed to pick your seat. A friendly waitress greets you at your table or booth( Mickie somehow always greets me first). As your drink order is taken and for some of us breakfast foodies... we'll just say I love my breakfast! I'm a fan of the pancakes. You might want to order just one because I swear that delicious wonder is the size of the plate. The pancakes comes with scrumptious flavors( strawberry, blueberry or apple) and it's the filling of the pancake. I wanted to explain that it's not baked in but filled with fruit sensation. Add in some scrambled eggs with cheese, grits and I add in corn beef since the breakfast meat choices are all pork. Before I'm 3 sips into my coffee my plate arrives and it's time to GRUB. Each morsel of food is sending joy to the stomach. Fortunately I can't finish it all and that brings a smile to my face... Part 2 will be finished at a later time at home. Well I see y'all soon ”

“ I can't believe there are any negative reviews!! Yankee Coffee Shoppe is iconic. I have so many memories eating here with my grandparents. My grandparents were born and raised Yankees so my grandpa was so excited when he first found this place. We would come every Saturday morning. It's got that good small town feeling. It's a little crowded inside but that's part of the goodness of it. The food is so delicious!! I'm a big breakfast person. I could honestly eat breakfast for every meal. And here is so dang good! The home fries are my favorite. No one does home fries like they do. The lunch options they have are good too but I usually stick with the breakfast. It's a must for me! 5 stars for me!!! I will forever be a loyal customer! ”
