Editorial Review for Side Street Cafe – by Amy Paturel

The Scene
Inviting green awnings and giant yellow umbrellas attract everyone from Harley owners to young Newport families. The small, jam-packed cafe has a homey environment, with mismatched tables and chairs and walls plastered with photos of family vacations, Little League teams and George Strait.

The Food
Side Street's bevy of breakfast options includes soul food, Mexican and traditional American favorites. Get a taste of everything with the Side Street Sampler, which comes with sourdough French toast, a giant, fluffy pancake, two eggs any style and hash brown potatoes. For soul-food lovers, the SOS offers ground beef and onion on a doughy homemade biscuit, smothered with gravy--served with eggs and potatoes. The bacon and avocado omelette is stuffed with an ample amount of avocado and full strips of bacon. Make sure to try fresh-squeezed juice varieties or rich hot chocolate with a mountain of whipped cream.

They give you a lot of food and not a lot of dough. Fun and funky atmosphere. Water smelled a little funny though. Country fried steak was really a steak!!!
