Harbaugh's Cafe - Cafe in Carbondale - 901 S Illinois Ave B, USA

Loved the lively, eclectic, artsy atmosphere. Every server was extremely friendly. We got a front booth seat and it was perfect. I got biscuits and gravy, and everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. My son absolutely loved their bread, and he got a yummy veggie omelette. They give you your own pot of coffee, too, and they offer a different flavor from regular (french vanilla was really good). I don’t know the next time I will make it to Carbondale, but definitely check this place out if you’re in the area.

This is always a very good restaurant. Food is awesome. Service is great. They greet you on entry and usually on exit. Parking is difficult at best. A small pay to park area to the south and east near the rail road tracks is available. Also a small free parking area at the rear of the building near the tracks. Stopped in for lunch today. It was approximately half full. Both sides were open for dining. The order was taken quickly. For the amount of customers it seemed to take longer than usual time to receive the order. They have more than just breakfast. Everyone talks about breakfast. The breakfast is good, try something else people. The Chicken Cordon Blu was very tasty with lettuce and thick sliced tomato and onion. Home potatoes and sliced pineapple and cantaloupe added for desert. I will return.

Such an efficient and friendly waitress. Food was really good & prices are reasonable. Coffee is Good (Per lunch friend). Fast service. Will return & try other menu items.

Absolutely love this place. Great food and great service. I really enjoyed the eclectic art feel of the place. And everything is well prepared and the hand crafted coffees are amazing!

Eclectic - cute - cozy. Love this place. Good breakfast food and drinks. Service is great - friendly.

Harbaughs located right in the Saluki Plaza has delicious breakfast food. I ordered the Flapper meal which came with a large pancake, choice of eggs, and choice of sausage or bacon. The pancakes were large, light, and fluffy. The sausage patty tasted homemade. Our waitress was very friendly but it seemed they had a problem going on in the back, so service was a little slower while she dealt with that. Overall a cool atmosphere and delicious food, I would go again!

Food was delicious! Service was excellent! Atmosphere was a little confusing upon entering. We were pointed towards and told to go into another room but it was our first time so we didn't know which way to get in. There appeared to be a way to walk around but there were also doors that looked like lead to a kitchen. Another customer guided us and told us to go through the doors. It was fine. Just kinda weird at first. Very ecletic place but like I said the food was delicious and service was wonderful.

Food was tasty!! My frittata was beautiful and delicious the ranch potatoes were yummy and the French Toast was a pleasantly soul fulfilling surprise! The texture of the English muffin bread was perfect and the toast was flavorful throughout every layer of the bite! 👌🏾 Mimosas always make me happy! Seating in the hallway near the kitchen was my only issue, I didn’t like that.
