Hear from our valued guests
My husband & I had breakfast here & we absolutely enjoyed it!!!! Definitely recommend!!
Fun lunch spot! Great brunches and breakfast dishes
We really liked the food. We did not get toast though...
Food is always amazing. Our go to breakfast place. Staff is always great!
Great food and portions sizes everything hit the spot ! Even had leftovers to take home
Replaced the Family Diner on Hill Ave. Updated and modernized inside. Staff was friendly. The food was great and very reasonably priced. We came an hour before they closed and the place was busy, but food came out very fast. Tots and fish were crispy and hot! Will be eating here again!
Huevos Locos omelet was the star of the show. Definitely get cheese and onions added if you're getting hashbrowns. The cinnamon roll is quite the value compared to other breakfast places in the area. Pancake was a little lackluster, but everything else made up for it.
This place really does have a great breakfast and as it was close to to noon I had their toast Burger. The service is really quite accommodating we had AIDS which included for kids under six. Also we had need of gluten-free items which you can always do with bacon and sausage and they did have a small toast that was gluten free. Lots of TV's for a nice distraction too. Nice
Little gem of classic diner in Spirit Lake. Had a late Sunday lunch there. Son had a massive Chorizo burrito. He said it was great! Wife had a humongous cheesburger. Food was great and the staff was awesome. The place was clean and bright.
A light lunch done right. Egg salad and breakfast potatoes. Simple. Enjoyable. Perfect with the thick sliced home made bread! Though the restaurant was very busy when I arrived our server was prompt, friendly and our food arrived very quickly. This restaurant is a favorite.
