Im sad a didn't get a pic of the starter soup but it was too delicious to wait for a pic. Don't hesitate to try this cute little cafe, lots of food options amd great service too!

    This busy little place is cozy, cute and historical. It has a great menu and friendly staff. My father in law has a walker and is never made to feel uncomfortable.

    the food was tasty-riffic and Minnesota “plentiful” (PLUS pancakes are enormous) BUT the SMILES from customers Jim, Dave & Joe (Grumpy ole’ guy team) and super-riffic servers “Tiffany” & “Kerry” made me leave with “More Smiles Than I Came In With!” p.s. lots of historical pictures too “Run-A-Way Bill” was here!

    This was our first time visiting and we can't wait to come back! Not only was the staff amazing, but the patrons were also very kind. I could tell there were lots of regulars that visit and I certainly see why it's their favorite place. Food was phenomenal! Hometown diner without the extra grease that you would expect. The local syrup was an awesome touch and super delicious. The French toast was some of the best I've had around the area. Even our young kids appreciated the atmosphere and devoured their food. Bonus: clean, fresh bathrooms!

    We're from out of town and it was our first time eating here. Hometown dive brunch restaurant, we loved it. Everyone was very Friendly and we had good service. I got the farmers scrambler, very good! Fresh veggies and hashbrowns were good, not greasy like some places. We would definitely go back!

    Everyone here is so amazingly nice. I am from the deep south and this is the only place up here that I've been able to find genuine hospitality. They have the BEST customer service and the yummiest Chicken Ranch Wrap I've ever had, literally. 11/10
