From "Explore" magazine, March 2007

"Luckily for those who are lactose intolerant, Sussex isn't just Dairy Town.  Along with the ususal pubs, it's home to the Broadway Cafe, a tiny restaurant that serves what several have called some of New Brunswick's best food. .." 

From "Where to Eat in Canada 2006-2007"

"...The new owner, Randi Griffin, has worked in the kitchen for a long time, and so far she hasn't missed a beat. The menu is designed to make the most of whatever is fresh and in season. Last summer travellers were speaking of the curried beef kekabs and the dilled salmon. They also write to us about the vegetables, especially the Greek potatoes...The sweets are all up to scratch, especially the so-called Chocolate Decadence."

From "Where to Eat in Canada 2002 - 2003"

"The Broadway Café is bright, sunny and very stylish, with Mexican tiles on the floor and posters by Georgia O'Keefe on the walls. There is fine draught beer from Moncton's Pumphouse Brewery and excellent cappuccino and plenty to eat: pizzas, salads and sandwiches of all sorts.... Friday and Saturday nights they put on dinners—curried chicken, perhaps, beef stir fry, scallops dijonnaise and shrimps with honey mustard....This is a very likeable place."

From Where To Eat In Canada 1996

"Judith and Peter Williams admit that they've been learning on the job. They can now take a busload of 40 people, feed them and send them away happy in two hours or less. They plan their meals with one basic idea in mind: what they themselves would want if they were the customers....Twice a month they bring in live music—folk or jazz—and the place is packed.... In the summer you can eat outside in the garden court and you'd never know you were right on the highway."

Air Canada's En Route Magazine Says:

"When Judith Williams lived in Montreal she was known as the Cake Lady. Some years ago she moved to the small town of Sussex, bringing her culinary skills with her. From the time her Broadway Café opened it's doors in 1981, it was deluged with customers both locals and travelers who took a liking to Williams' light, fresh cooking and lush desserts. As word of mouth spread, she found herself increasingly cramped until she finally bought the adjacent building and expanded—her current kitchen was originally the entire café. The dining area is now a larger, sunny space, and in good weather, French doors at the back open onto a walled courtyard where you can lunch among the flower beds and climbing roses. House specialties include fresh-made brown bread and flavourful, old-fashioned soups such as goulash and broccoli; as well as lasagna, souvlakia and various open-faced pita sandwiches with melted local Cheddar. Desserts are exemplary, perhaps none more so than the delightful fudge ribbon cake of dark and white chocolate, which is one of Williams' best-known specialties."
