Food was mostly not amazing- hashbrowns were very good- everything else was kinda meh... BUT the service was excellent and the staff was extremely accommodating and patient with our big crew of noisy, messy kids. A few regulars stopped in to eat while we were there and they were treated with just as much courtesy as we were. The bathrooms were very clean- and the decor was eclectic and old timey- but totally free of dust and grease. All in all a very nice experience and one of the best on our trip. If you’re driving through... Definitely recommend a stop.

Excellent food, we had a nice experience. Our server was very friendly, funny and welcoming. The food was perfect. Even the sunny side up eggs (4 orders). Pancakes were large and very filling. (She wasn't joking!!) Coffee was flowing and nice and hot, good thing too it was 20° this morning. We loved it. Definitely stop in while in town. We didn't get many pictures, we were too busy eating! But I did catch a picture of my son having a staring contest with an antelope? The antelope won.

Stopped at this little Cafe on our way through, the service was amazing, the atmosphere was quaint, and the food was well worth the stop. Me and my family tried several different things off the menu, and I can attest that the bacon, sausage, french toast, and biscuits and gravy are to die for. Don't miss out if you get to go through this town, stop and take in the experience, good people, and food.

Cozy place with old Western memorabilia and b/w photos. Very friendly service. We had breakfast there - husband had the pancake combo, daughter had the waffles, and I had the bacon and egg combo. All was good and not greasy, e.g. hash browns were crispy but not oily and the bacon was crisp not limp. Bonus: opened at 6am so we could have a warm breakfast and still make it to the hot springs for sunrise.

The restaurant is a lot cuter on the inside than it is on the outside. The service was great and the food was really good too. The french fries were especially good. You can also get a bowl of fruit as a side and the food is fresh and cut in the restaurant. Also the other Café in town has a giant sign that says make America great across the front and had some bad reviews about treating tourists poorly.
