If youre looking for home-cooked food but dont want to make it yourself, this is the place to go! Very affordable food and the portions are large. The eggs were really tasty and so were the hashbrowns! Truly one of a kind flavors you cant get anywhere else. I think the toast is on homemade bread too. There can be a crowd so be sure to get there early!

I’ve been wanting to try their food for quite some time and I’m glad I finally did. I went with their chicken fried steak that came with eggs hash browns and toast. The food was AMAZING! Breakfast foods are pretty basic and bland, but that’s not the case with Madonna Rose. Everything was full of flavor and the coffee wasn’t bad either. Great prices and cozy environment! Definitely a place worth checking out!

This has to be the best place around. The Mexican omelet was divine. The biscuits and gravy were great and the homemade pie was perfect.

My fiance and I are from out of town (Minnesota) here visiting a good friend and our friend lives 150ft from this great Cafe! This was by far one of the best breakfasts I have ever had, fast friendly service and huge portions of food. Along with prices which are not expensive! We will be coming back next time we are in town! Excellent food! Thank you!

Exactly what youd expect for a small town cafe. Do not go in, expecting to be in a rush. Food was great. Waitress was a sweetheart.

Great breakfast food and outstanding service. Give that server a raise!!Didnt catch his name but he was the only one working the Sunday breakfast shift.

Excellent food! Great service!

We havent visited in about 2 years due to the lack of service and no help. So we thought we would try again, and not one thing has changed. Same exact waitresses that have to do everything including serving, bussing tables, and cashier. We waited for 10 minutes for them to clear a table and it still wasnt done when we walked back out. There were about 10 tables of people, and only 1 table had food on it. Every other table had people waiting for food still. This place needs some young help with someone that will actually work. Maybe in 2 years we will try again.

Prices on website are not correct. We ordered Mexican burrito, the meat was burnt hamburger with no taste hash browns were burnt. Ordered smothered hashbrowns hardly any meat or veggies and was also burnt.Website also says opens at 6.Noto

Bizarrely rude. My party of four walked in on Sunday, and before we even greeted the hostess, she looked at us and said, “We’re full.” We were a little confused because usually the host offers to put us on a list or tells us how long the wait will be. This woman didn’t do either.

If I could give 0 stars I would, please save yourself the time and go to Johnny Mars. This place CONSISTENTLY only has 2 ladies working who can barely operate. We waiting an hour and 15 minutes for 4 eggs and a couple slices of toast. Not one refill, not one check-in to let us know when our food will be coming out. Absolutely TERRIBLE service. Like I mentioned, save yourself the time and go elsewhere. It’s a Dirty, slow, rude, “cafe”.

A touch of home cooking, awesome pie and service.

Food was good, but a little much of the grill crunchies (burnt carbon bits) in my food. Good prices

We all like Madonna Rose and have gone there since they opened. Great food, prices, and family-like wait people

Food took a very very long time. The cafe had maybe 4 or 5 other tables and after we ordered we noticed none of them had food yet. We ordered very simple breakfast items. It probably took an hour to get our food. None of the staff acknowledged the wait. The inside of the cafe is shabby but comfortable. No complaints about the food. We will be back to give it a second try on a better day!

So much better than going to McDonalds a few blocks away. I used to frequent this place a few years back when it was fairly new at the time, and now Ive made my return yesterday. I was surprised that since were in the pandemic now, I was the only one there at around 1:00 PM, and I didnt see another customer come in until the next half hour and there were only two employees on duty. Waitress and hostess was attentive and friendly as always. The food quality is outstanding. Was looking to find apply here for a job, but unfortunately no job openings due to limitations to practice social distancing. I hope this place can go back to being fairly busy, especially during this pandemic and with all the social distancing enforced.Small businesses always come first!

Excellent breakfast I dont think you can order anything you wont like

Really good breakfast with great service!

The best burger is delicious!

Order the country skillet this AM. The portions were huge. I normally smash my whole plate every time I go out to eat especially breakfasts.I couldnt finish my plate. I have leftovers for brunch later today.The location is kinda a dump. I think if the business invested some money into the dining area this place would be rewarded 10 fold.I admire the craftsmanship that went into building the restaurant. You can definitely tell the owners built the restaurant. What the business lacks in cosmetics, it reaps in its food preparation.This place is.far better than any Dennys or IHOP I have ever eaten at...Good job Madonna Rose..

Not fancy but a nice little cafe. Service was good & breakfast was delicious!

The morning waitress was outstanding, food was great too

Wonderful place to get down right home cooking from the heart. Thank you for the best service

The service is great! Food was amazing with good sized portions. Very friendly too

Great food and excellent help

Family food atmosphere. Great restaurant and fabulous service.

The food was delicious, but because none of the staff wears masks, we wont be back for a long time.

Great local place, good food, friendly service and a nice variety of options. If want fresh, home made kind of eating, this is the place. If you want them to warm up a frozen dinner and bring it to you on a plate, this isnt the place for you. I will certainly be back to Madonna Rose Cafe.

Best pie in town. And everything else

Nice cafe. Relaxed homey feel. Servers and staff made me feel at home. Took recommendation and had a delicious burger. I highly recommend

Nice clean dining area, food was great.

Very good food.

Nice people

Good food and reasonable prices. Quaint atmosphere and good service.

My husband and I went here to eat together but when you order a medium rare ribeye steak and one comes out perfect and the other comes out well then you send it back and they send the same steak back out then we wait for another one which took longer than normal cause they had to turn the grill back on and there open till 8. Second one comes out and its well done. We payed for my meal and left never to return again. Oh then having to listen to the owner who by the way was cooking the steak argue with one of the girls in the kitchen. Never again

Friendly causual atmosphere. Prices reasonable. Just a hometown care. Food not greasy. Had Breakfast. Would go back if I come back into town.

Fantastic food!

Great breakfast! Extensive menu choices and large portions. Its a very casual place. Everyone in our group raved about their food (and took home the leftovers).

Love this place great food and service will always visit this place when I am in town

The best pork chops and hashbrown Ive ever had

Ordered the hot beef and Im usually a pretty easy guy to please when it comes to food. This was the saltiest meal Ive ever eaten in my life. Hot beef should be salty but this was like eating playdough.

I good old-style dinner with lots of comfort food choices. Weve eaten here several times and have always enjoyed our meals. The breakfast choices are especially good.

Very awesome food and good priced

Online said they opened at 5:30 am. Got there at 5:40. Lady said were not even open yet. I said I was sorry and left. Wont be back. Id rather drive 25 miles to Le Mars than go here again.

Good food light atmosphere

Reasonably priced, best chicken in town. Ordered the prime rib melt and was amazed at the flavor. Cant wait to try something else.

We got seated pretty quick, cafe was busy. I ordered corned beef hash, wife ordered french toast. An hour later our food arrived. I ordered corned beef hash. The hash looked and tasted just like the canned variety you can pickup at the grocery store. Wasnt terrible but I am not happy about waiting an hour for canned hash. Waitress even commented on the food taking forever 🤦🏻‍♂️

Good food, wear good friends can gather and have a great time.

Very modest Cafe but good home cooking.

Kind of close quarters, but food was good. Service is a bit on the slow end. Id go again.

Service is awesome, staff is kind. Food is very good. Personally, I think their breakfasts are much better than IHOP. Their meals also remind me of something my grandma used to make, hearty and home cooked. Very delicious. I go here sometimes once a week. I would recommend it.

Its a great place to eat

So so we showed up cook hasnt show up for work not good we left

Theyre only open half a day and they must have really good food because theyre always busy

Their food was worth the long, long & long wait

GREAT FOOD!!! Portions are GREAT for the price! And their double burger would rival just about any other around!

Food was very good. Great portion size. Just took a bit to get it.

I have been enjoying this restaurant for months now. My husband and I have been eating at the restaurant and pickup orders since my accident when I couldnt leave the house. I really enjoy the home style feel of the place and the food. Im from South Texas and miss this kind of food and finally found a place like home literally just down the block from our home. Kind wait staff, very good home cooked type meals and not over priced. Good portions and just tasty food. Id recommend it to anyone and in fact will to a lady who just moved here from Louisiana!

One of our favorites! How lucky we are to get home cooked food right in the middle of town. We have tried the hot beef and the Donnie Girl. Both were delicious. Breakfast is very economical and good as well. Gotta love the biscuits and gravy!

Good homemade style food. The burgers are truly the best in town! Prices are very reasonable and service friendly. Not the fastest service, and the decor defiantly low budget, but the food is worth it.

When we were in Sioux City we were looking for something other than fast food. And then we found Madonna Rose Cafe and discovered that it was a nice quaint place that served home cooking food like.

So busy, need more kitchen staff and servers to keep up. Good price and food! Long wait.

This place is one of my favorites.....friendly with great food! Plenty of choices for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I was wonderfully surprised at how good the food was here! Amazing home cooked meal with a lot to choose from. One of the best breakfasts in town!

Waitresses are always nice and fast at getting to you and didnt wait that long for my food. I love their bicuets and gravy for breakfast and there Frisco melt and tenderloin are amazing. Great place for family dinning.

Great and fast service

Best biscuits and gravy Ive ever had. They are a great breakfast diner. Today I went outside my normal breakfast routine and tried the hot beef and fried mushrooms. They need a little work on the frier. The mushrooms were a bit over cooked on the outside and a few of them were cold on the inside. The hot beef had good quality meat but I was a little underwhelmed with the package style brown gravy. I could have easily made this myself at home. They advertised the hot beef was a must try - it wasnt. However, my cousin had the Reuben on wry bread and said it was phenomenal. This was the first time I ordered something off the breakfast menu and wasnt thrilled but the breakfast has always been amazing and their homemade pies and cinnamon rolls look mouthwatering.

Everything skillet hits the spot at 6am after a good night.

Food was good, but not life changing. Ordered eggs, french toast and bacon. The bacon was great, eggs were good, french toast was basic, but good.

My wife and daughter and I enjoyed this food!!! She received the hot beef and I had the prime rib melt both came to the table fast and hot. Hats off to the night cook!!! Also the pie is the best Ive had in years!!

Great service! Always great food! You have to visit this cafe...you will not be disappointed!

Quality ingredients. Kind staff. The Greek burger was delicious

Their breakfasts are the best. Delicious and large portions for a great price.

Loved the omelets! The waitress was super kind and a sweetheart. Would definitely return again!

Chose Madonna Rose on last Sunday morning around 10am because we had heard it was great food. From the minute we walked in- we were disappointed. Every.single.aspect of our visit was poor. No one greeted us, waitress didnt want to seat us, no one wanted to wait on us. Didnt take drink orders. Eventually brought 3 water glasses for our table of 5. She finally took our order- and after 45 minutes we asked our waitress to check on our food. The restaurant was completely full - someone at every table- and not one table had food. She never came back with an update. 3 tables around us who have been there 30 minutes less than us get food. Maybe 10 minutes later she brings our food. One of 5 plates actually had warm food on it- the other 3 cool to the touch and one actually cold. The 2 kids meals were sad sad cold little meals. It looked like one egg had been divided in half for each plate. Thin 2 inch wide strip of ham. 4 inch diameter pancake. Sad! Not one positive in our trip there- nothing. Not one person in the place interested in how our experience was. Not the waitresses, not the cashier. No one. Would NOT recommend- and will NOT go back.

Went in with my family and needed a table for 8 I was told “ we don’t have a table for 8” so I said umm ok I’ll take this one if you clean it, “that only seats 6” is what she told me and I said I can make it work so then I was told with an eye roll “it’s going to be awhile” I will NEVER spend another dime here. Rude lady!!

One of my favorite restaurants in Sioux City! Delicious breakfast, and the Reuben I had for lunch was delicious as well.

Its a family diner, we sat, we ordered and then we waited over an hour for our food. When it arrived it was like warm at best and a number of our items were either incorrectly prepared or just flat out wrong. We did get plenty of coffee though, so theres that at least.

The food isnt bad but the owner is aweful. He doesnt care about his customers or employees. He is very rude and nasty. If your food comes out wrong he doesnt care and wont try to fix it. Hes also a slumlord to young adults. He rents the top of his building out as apartments and there is no bathrooms, or heat. I will never eat there again or spend my money there

Great food! Lots of selections on menu, super friendly waiter

The location is nice and easy to get to when out and about in morningside, but the place is a little *meh*. The food was good though, classic American breakfast when we visited the first time. The staff was kind of strange but attentive. The place itself was pretty dirty and shabby. Needs some good carpet cleaning lolBut honestly Id go again. I love little hometown cafes like this.

Great family owned diner style atmosphere with amazing food!

Relaxing atmosphere and clean interior. Very friendly customer service and above all the meal was delicious.

Stopped here a couple of times. Food was good and reasonably priced. Only complaint is all the tables are so close together that when its crowded you can hardly walk through.

Terrible service. Small cramped dining room. Very odd design for a restaurant, some tables are difficult to get to. Not handicapped friendly. Food is ok. They offer breakfast lunch and dinner. No parking lot, park on the street or in lot across busy street.

We love this mom and pop diner. The food is good and the service is fast.

Ate here the other day for the first time since moving to Sioux City.....decided to try it due to the good reviews and I must say it did not disappoint, the service was great, food was amazing, and is very reasonably priced!!! Will definitely continue to go back

I came on a Thursday night, April 28th 2016.Pros:1. Very friendly staff.2. Great location right off Morningside and Transit Ave.3. There is a great comic book store next door in the SAME building.4. VERY clean!5. Really good prices, especially if you dont need a soda, which is another $2.25 but comes with unlimited free refills. I overheard a couple across from me had a bill of 16 dollars for the 2 of them and I could see that they had a TON of food for that amount. They took about a third of it back home with them when they left.6. Its kinda on the quiet and homey side of things, very peaceful and apparently gets more older folks for the general clientele which probably makes it the ideal place to go if you, like I did, are suffering from a headache and dont want to deal with a lot of rowdy people. Dont get me wrong, I like my generation, but we can be really noisy.7. The chicken Fritter is really delicious, has a well-toasted bun, comes with a plateful of fries, and is only $5.25!8. Great hours.Cons:1. The french fries have way too much salt! Granted, I like mine a little bit on the less salty side anyway, but I dont think a lot of people in general would like quite this much on their fries. Next time Im gonna ask for them without salt, and then Ill put a little on myself. Luckily there is plenty of salt (and other condiments) already on your table, and theyll offer you more in case you need anything else.2. The wait time for the food is a little on the long side of things.Overall I had a nice experience and I will be going back again the next time I have a headache and want some good old fashioned comfort food from a good old fashioned cafe. :)

The BEST home cooked meals...everything is from scratch.

Weve had good luck with breakfast, but when we ordered steaks (medium-well) they were badly burned and tough. They did not offer any discount or anything to apologize for it. The waitress just said that she let the cook know.

Good was great and service was nice but the speed of the food seemed a bit slow. The food was worth the wait hit and fresh so I guess patience is well rewarded.

Excellent home cooked food. Excellent service. Reasonably priced.

The food was delicious and the service was amazing! Its not the Taj Mahal, its a neighborhood cafe. If you like good home style cooking with friendly service, this is the place. :-)

Everything I have gotten here has been delicious!

Nice local place to eat. Nothing fancy, but good food and service.

Great food. The steak omelet is amazing!!! Good family restaurant with a small town feel.

Good food and friendly service.

Eaten here twice, really great breakfast. First time I ate there the service was terrible. Second time I ate there the service was a lot better.

Very good food and friendly staff will be back again soon

Food is great. Dont be in hurry. Service is slow.
