It’s a community hub where laughter fills the air and locals gather to share stories over hearty meals.

The menu at Liberty Cafe showcases an array of delicious options that cater to a variety of cravings. Start your day off right with a breakfast of champions, like the mouthwatering bacon and cheese omelette, lauded for its fluffy eggs and generous helping of savory bacon. For lunch, indulge in their famous garlic burgers served on Texas toast, a favorite among patrons, as well as the crispy chicken tenders that are both juicy and satisfying.

However, come prepared with cash, as this nostalgic cafe operates on a cash-only basis, which adds to that charming, old-fashioned diner feel—just another reason why this place feels like home.

Very nice restaurant! The owners are wonderful! We had the garlic burgers served on Texas toast, delicious!! If you love garlic, order one. The coney dogs with their homemade family recipe sauce were delightful! Very reasonable prices, perfect family atmosphere.

Really good food and an affordable price. This little cafe blew my mind with the food. Chicken tenders are actually crispy and juicy, the club sandwich is fresh and crisp. I just wish it was open longer.

I've been coming here for years. Definitely a great place for a simple breakfast and lunch with some good coffee. All the locals come here and Charlie is the sweetest man ever. The waitresses, especially Chelsea, know what you're drinking so they just bring it over for you. I love this place

I have known and came to the Liberty Cafe for many years. Great burgers and the pork tenderloin is excellent. Make sure you pick up one of their homemade cookies as well!

My first time. Had fried bologna sandwich. It seemed a little well done to me. The tator tots were the best I have ever had. Notice they only take cash.

Try nice old time hoke in the wall type of place… Only accepts cash!! Nice waitress!! Table of town folk telling stories…”back in 1974…” Can just imagine all the history of Liberty that those guys could give up!! Food was freshly cooked!! Meat had to b fresh from local farms as it was not store bought textures!! Very Very cost effective!!
