Wonderfully fresh food..... my family had a variety of meals and all were wonderful. Each meal was priced around $10 for lunch.... I accidently ordered the wrong sandwhich and the waitress was very accomidating and pleasant and made me a new one.... the burgers are big and delcious..... cobb salad was fresh and big enough to fill up my 6'3" son.... all said we will be returning to this restraunt....
I love this place. It gives you a certain kind of nostalgia. The food was good and the waiters were very charming. Plus really cute. I'll definitely be going back.

Tuna Melt. The tuna melt is the best with sour dough bread!!
LOVE IT. I've been coming here for years and I always get the same thing...grilled cheese, sourdough bread and american cheese...side of fries and a diet soda. The only downside of the restaurant is that it's PEPSI now :( Otherwise, the service is great and the patio is fun and a plus for smokers.
Martin is the BEST server!
Food used to be better...now kind of just your average American fare with a little bit of a tropical twist. The portions are decent but you definitely pay for it. Also, if you want "extra" anything (such as ranch for your fries, etc), they gouge you for everything...which makes me not as likely to go back there. The best part of this place is being able to sit outside in the heart of Tower year round and being able to people watch while you eat. That, and the mimosas for breeakfast!
Nice Tower Restaurant. While living in the tower district for most of my life, it is safe to say that I have visited Irene's Cafe many, many times. Sometimes with my mom, with my step-kids, on a date, and sometimes for a lunch date with friends. I must say they serve good food. However, it is pricey. Also it is mostly known for sandwiches and sometimes sandwiches are just that; sandwiches. But I can recall many great memories there, so I would recommend to everyone to try it at least once.
Great Food And It's Open Late!. We had a great late night dinner at Irene's Cafe last night. For $13 I ordered off of the Mardi Gras menu that included a cup of yummy Gumbo, Cajun Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans and the best Bread Pudding I've ever had in this area. My $5 glass of Syrah was very good, service friendly and efficient. My son had the Cordon Bleu Burger which he loved and my husband enjoyed the Tropical Salad with lots of fresh fruit, chicken and a killer raspberry dressing. We will be back! :)
The best cheeseburgers! Also very good specialty sandwiches & salads. A must visit in the Tower District.
Nice Place. This place has great hamburgers. Cheaper and much better than the ones across the street at Sequoia. The outdoor patio is a good place to eat when the weather is nice. Breakfast is good as well.
Irene's was pretty good. I had the pineapple-territaki burger and would like to try a more traditional burger next time. Not the best burger in Fresno, but I'd go back.
Wonderful hamburgers! Very friendly and good service. Will return to try another dish. The decorating is very unique. French fries and honeymustard are good too. Hamburgers are large.
A great place for lunch! On our way to Yosemite, we met my friend Jim in Fresno, and he recommended Irene’s. We got there around 1500 and left about 1630. I got a patty melt on rye. It was excellent. A half pound of very good beef, cooked medium well, with a nice crust on the burger. The onions were fried up to a perfect caramelization. The rye bread was nice. The meal came with a pile of very good fries. The rest of the guys (there were eight of us total) got various things, and no one said the food was anything less than very good. My check was around $12. The iced tea was great and kept refilled. Service was pretty good and very friendly. We ate outside in front of the restaurant, which was nice (except for the beggar that hit us up from the sidewalk, but the restaurant staff shooed her off quickly). So I was very happy with Irene’s. I get to Fresno regrettably infrequently, but I would like to go back to Irene’s again.
