Barbed Wire

I highly recommend this place! We stumbled upon it after spontaneously deciding to get a late breakfast as we were headed out of town following a wedding. The food was delicious. We went in just hoping to get some eggs and pancakes but ended up ordering two of the breakfast specials that day. I ordered an apple bread pudding which was amazing, along with eggs and bacon (the bacon was cooked to my preference, even) and my girlfriend had one of the best veggie omelets she's ever had. Even the toast was great. Not only was the food great, the hospitality was unparalleled. I can honestly say that I have never encountered such friendly service anywhere else. Along with the above, the atmosphere was very charming, with all the antiques on the walls. There's tons of cool stuff to look at! I'll definitely stop back in the next time if I'm in the area again.

Eclectic kinda place! Antiques relating to Plainwell all over the walls etc. Kinda like walking back into history. I had scrambled eggs with cheese, fried potatoes, bacon, toast. The eggs were not scorched, bacon is thick cut and oven Baked to perfection..best I've had in awhile!! Toast is homemade sour dough , Diced potato American fries deep fried and not over cooked!! A great breakfast. Our waitress was new, but funny and totally on it. I'll be back

If you have the time, even if you don’t have the time, find this great, tucked around the corner, gem of a cafe. You walk into a comforting atmosphere that has antiques and childhood memory items from ceiling to floor. The side room has a great collection of sock monkeys, antiques and a small John Wayne corner you have to see and appreciate. Move on to the server and how nice she was taking care of our table of 7, she was great. We were from out of state, Iowa, and visiting our family local to the area, this place was perfect for our catching up and visiting. The food was out FAST, spot on excellent, extra kudos for the homemade sourdough bread toast that they also sell fresh by the loaf. Some ordered omelets, others biscuits and gravy, some pancakes and hashbrowns. Every single option was great tasting and what I’d call large portions. I even heard my sister say, that’s good coffee, so there you go-stop in, say hi and order away-you can’t go wrong.

Hands down one of my favorite breakfast spots. The owner and staff genuinely care for their customers, their food is spectacular, and the restaurant is cozy and eclectic in all the best ways. If you don’t stop in for breakfast, at least pick up some of their homemade breads and bagels. Would like a better cup of coffee to go with their top-notch omelettes, but that won’t stop me from eating in.

What a find!!! Small town diner. Old time feel. Staff were friendly and very helpful! Prices are so reasonable! It's nice to go somewhere that doesn't charge you extra for things like mushrooms and onions on your 10oz steak and eggs breakfast!! Yes i said 10oz!!! Lol. Definitely coming back to this gem!!

This place rocks! The burgers are off the charts good. They get their meat specially blended from Shipshewana. I had the barnyard burger that is hamburger, sausage and bacon blended together and it was beyond delicious. And I got it with an egg and it was beyond messy. Lol the atmosphere is cool and kitschy with antique stuff everywhere. It's a hoot! The owner is really friendly too. Only open for breakfast and lunch. You need to try this place.

We used Barb’s Wire Cafe to cater my sisters baby shower. I had a vision for what I wanted but also wanted to bring some of my other stuff. Barb, was FANTASTIC to work with from start to finish! She was very accommodating and provided excellent suggestions. She even worked with our venue owner to deliver our food and make sure she had the appropriate dishes for our items. She was absolutely right about how much food we needed and went above and beyond with what was requested. Barb was An excellent communicator. She updated me several times and gave me a lot of comfort going into my event date. I would highly recommend using her for your upcoming event!
