I like the decor here! It’s bear-themed to the extreme, but cute nonetheless. This even extends to the exterior. The place could be kept in cleaner condition (dining areas and restroom). The staff probably can’t keep up with the sloppiness of the clientele, but still, it detracts somewhat.

Food was decent, service was great! I had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and potatoes. Biscuit was huge but really hard. Only the soft center was really edible. Gravy was pretty bland. Scrambled eggs were basic. Potatoes would’ve been better if they were crispy.

I’ve always had a pleasant experience when dining at this restaurant. The service is always kind and positive. They are very mindful of your needs and if there’s an issue with your food, they don’t hesitate to make it right. The size of the pancakes are huge as well as delicious. I totally recommend you try them at some point. I have never had any issues with their service or food since i first came here. I can honestly say this restaurant ranks in the top of best places to dine in, just because of how great of an experience I’ve had time and time again.

I really liked that this restaurant had a waiting list that texted your phone when your table was ready. When we were seated and ordered our food came out very quick for how busy it was. I appreciated all of the healthy options and ordered the chicken sausage skillet. They have something for everyone here. Definitely stop in if you are in the area, especially if you are staying at one of the many hotels in nearby.

The cafe-style food was quite good, actually, and the service was very friendly. What was not good was how shockingly dirty the carpeted floors — and even the seats in our booth — were. Floors filled with scattered paper and other trash from the busy Saturday on which we ate there — that was the reason we couldn’t give this restaurant review five stars. Everything else went well.

I’ve eaten here a couple of times, and the food is just ok. The open face turkey sandwich is just sliced deli meat with gravy poured all over it- It wasn’t very good. The Tri-Tip Dip would be worth a visit. Meat loaf was ok. Our server was nice. Overall, the service has been good here, but the food is mediocre.

If there were 10 stars I would give this restaurant all 10. Ask for Cheyenne she’s is by far the best wait staff person I have ever had help me in a restaurant. She has a great personality, she was attentive, we never needed to look for her or ask where out waitress was.

We went here before the hockey game and it was busy but they got us seated about 30 minutes later. The menu was huge with breakfast all day! The portions were so big I couldn’t eat all of my omelet. They also have an all you can eat fish meal. The waiter was great and we will absolutely be back! I really want to try a pastry next time!

Definitely going back. The food was delicious. Downtime country style food. Atmosphere was very themed and cute and quaint. The menu has numerous options. My mimosa which was new on the menu was amazing
