Dave Sawyer

Perfect breakfast for two = eggs & bacon + eggs & hashbrowns . Then swap the buttermilk for 49er 's, choose eggs your way, then split everything else. Hello, perfection!

Jesse Seagroves

The food is amazing. If you order the omelette you might have to share with somebody or have lots of leftovers. Service is awesome. I would love to come back again.

Meredith C

100% real maple syrup available for $1 per 3oz container. SO worth the extra money. We both decided to splurge on our breakfasts .

Emily Kane

It’s easy to order too much food here, but that’s not a problem. Come hungry and bring a friend, and don’t forget a side of bacon for the table.

Katie Milliken

Food isn't life-changing, but it's no-frills and good. Great place to grab a bite with friends or family . Don't forget it's cash only !

Sheldon Sarauer

I die for their pancakes , like, honestly. I could live off their buttermilk pancakes and bacon .

Kevin Klos

I've never met anyone who tried the banana bowl and didn't order it again when they came back.

Ally M

Absolutely love coming here for brunch with friends or family . Always a good atmosphere.

Ally M

Their chocolate chip pancakes are classic, but their omelettes are even more amazing.

Matthew Silbernagel

Bring cash; no credit or debit cards accepted. Will not put your name in for a table if you call ahead.

Mikael Thomas

The two hour wait is worth it, don't leave until you've put amazing in your mouth.

The really big Apple cake . It's delicious .If I would get it every morning. Cool.

Rhonda Amacher

Food is great!! Service (Daniel) is better!! Best breakfast we have in a VERY long time!!

The Dutch Garden is delicious. But they don't make that here. If you can find it, it's worth a try.

Barb Rasmussen Kane

Heather Stepniewski

Worth the wait! Amazing food, great service!

Keith Cavey

Cash or check only - no credit/debit cards! They have an ATM in case you need it.

Try (and share) the Dutch Delight (a volcano caldera of pancake filled with fruit ) or the massive and wondrously executed caramelized Apple Pancake . Read more

Try the Cornbeef Hash - #excellentbreakfast #there'salinetogetin

Amy Robertson

Surprisingly tasty corned beef hash

Heidi Hakseth

Have them add coconut to your chocolate chip pancakes . I did this on waitress Mildred's suggestion & it was awesome-like a Mounds candy bar .

Andrew Kyllonen

If you like banana nut pancakes you're going to have to bring you own nuts because the banana pancakes dont come with any.

Kevin G

Dad can I butter my bacon ? Absolutely.

Jingyan

Apple pancake is huge!

Lilith Cutler

???? the food and staff .

Ojos Jarochos

Chanda Lang Halderman

49er pancakes are amazing.

Justin Cooper

Chocolate chip pancakes !

Dan N

Swap out buttermilk with 49ers with just about every combo!

Stephanie Kirtiadi

Try their mushroom omelettes with cheese .

Jackson Jantzen

Apple pancake-AMAZING

Chris Chuzles

Eggs Michael. FTW.

Clay Rogers

Good food but questionable owners. They seem to put absolutely no money into their business, and are either too cheap to accept credit cards, or they just like to cheat on their taxes.

Clay Rogers

Silverware looks like it's from a high school lunch line , terrible cups, no decor, no soda machine only cans. Good food, but come on-- spend some $ on your business.
