From the restaurant's website:
"The Majestic Cafe opened at the 911 King Street site in 1949, after moving from lower King Street, where the Gadonas family first established it in 1932. A major construction revamp came in 2000, where its art deco style and location made it a popular destination. True to the original with the only permissible neon sign to hang in the historical district of Old Town, the emblem hangs proudly. ... The menu offers simple American classics."
Kids' menu. Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Sat, dinner daily (beginning at 1 pm Sun).

"Here's the antidote to a rough day: a smooth, citrusy daiquiri, followed by gravy-moistened slabs of soft meatloaf teamed with crisp green beans and skin-on whipped potatoes, topped off with a big wedge of white cake so moist it borders on a tres leches dessert. You'll find all that, and a lot of style, at this sunny American restaurant run by the owners of the nearby Restaurant Eve in Old Town."
