★★★★★ 5.0 Lynette Fitzsimonds · Oct 2025

This was our first time here. Breakfast was wonderful, and our server was very pleasant, and answered every questioned we had about the menu options. The atmosphere was very casual and clean. We will come back again!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dawn Selman-Schwieger · Jul 2025

Ordered a traditional eggs Benedict. Disappointed that it was not traditional and did not match the description on the menu. It was covered with cheese and some kind of red spice. Only reason I gave it 3 stars is that the poached eggs were cooked perfectly. It was a shame I couldn’t eat it. I did not like the cheese or strange spice. Service was slow but there was only 1 waitress working. Must have been short staffed. Friendly woman. If they are going to stray from a traditional Benedict they need to put that in the description.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Charlie D · Jul 2025

The young server was really nice. However, they were out of orange juice. I requested iced tea instead and it had 1 little piece of ice and tasted like dirty water. Then, when we tried to order, I wasn't allowed to add more than two toppings to the build your own omelet but I could delete 2 on another omelet to get the same thing. Then we were told there was only enough hollandaise sauce for 1 of us. When I went to the 1 bathroom to wash my hands, I asked the guy behind the counter who operates the cash register for both the liquor store and the restaurant if they sold any orange juice in the liquor store. He replied, "it's a liquor store". As if liquor stores don't sell orange juice for mixed drinks. Then there is the atmosphere. It feels like you're sitting in an old grocery store, becau

We stopped on our way to International Falls for lunch. The waitress was excellent, the food was fabulous and it didn't take long between ordering and receiving our food. Reasonable pricing, and a very nice atmosphere also.
