This place is really good! I saw it on North Idaho 's Foodies group in NextDoor. I had never heard of it, even though I drive by its store very often I didn't notice it because it's a very plain building with a rough look to it. It does have sign, but I just never bothered to look at it because nothing drew me too it. But the reviews of breakfast did. How rough does it look? My son was afraid to go in when we pulled up. He's 12 and usually perceptive. By that all changed when we walked in. It was a very old town homey feeling. The hostess who led us to our seat and brought us water and menus was super kind. Our sever was equally kind and efficient. She recommended some great choices for us and we loved them. I had the Northwest with lox, fresh veggies and cheese. Sounds simple but was oh so delicious and satisfying. My son had the country Benedict. He loved it. We each tried each others and loved 'em. We will surely be back for more! P. S. My son is no longer afraid of the looks but sees it as inviting.

Great food, great service, decent prices. Stopped in on our way back from CDA for a late breakfast, early August 2024. The place was busy, with lots of families and kids filling the front dining area. I guess the hostess/waitress could tell from the look on our faces that we probably didn't want to be piled in with a bunch of other people, because she put us in the back room where it was nice and quiet. A thousand blessings upon her. She should write a book on how to properly seat customers in a restaurant. I did not forget that when figuring the tip. And... they didn't forget or ignore us in the other room. We were waited on by the same person who seated us very promptly. I don't recall what my wife ordered, though I'm sure it was sweet. She loved it. I ordered something called the "McLovin" because why wouldn't you? It was excellent. Usually, places like this are high on price and low on delivery, but the McLovin was a nice helping of grub, and I had a hard time finishing it (though I love a challenge, so...) To top it off, the room was decorated with great artwork, including a stylized print of Clint Eastwood as Josey Wales, and a very cool Hendrix print. Kind of glad I don't live close, or I would be in there every couple of days.

I have been driving by this place daily for the last 2 years and never came in, for shame! I have been missing out! One of the top places in town, looks like a regular breakfast dive with a little flair. What it actually is, classic breakfast dishes with gourmet flavors! Duck sausage?!!! Soooo delicious! The gravy on the biscuits is easily the best I've ever had! Cheese crusted on the burrito with a sausage link sealed into the cheese. Dang. Just wow. Run here!

Always great! Love the creative breakfasts and old standbys. Today hubby had the NW Omelette. Smoked Salmon Lox, Zucchini, Onions, Tomatoes, & Goat Cheese, garnished with grilled asparagus. He said it was AMAZING! I had the Pork Fried Steak & Eggs Hand-breaded pork loin, fried golden brown & topped with house-made gravy. It was great. Wayyyy too much food for me but not complaining. Great service here. Coffee cup is always full and the servers are regularly checking in. A+

This is a great place for breakfasts and lunch Really busy, so plan on some wait times, especially after church on Sundays We had a most excellent server, Nicole, I think, and she was fast, efficient, funny, and all with a great attitude So what makes this place unique? The menu. They have the regular breakfast selections you'll find everywhere, and they are excellent, fresh, and smartly priced. Still, they also have some original and eclectic items on the menu that are delicious as they are original! For example, I had spaghetti and eggs, which comes with the fixings too! So delicious. So Have the regular items you'll find anywhere ( my friend had ham and eggs and loved it!) or throw some caution to the wind and get something unique that you can only find here! Fantastic service even when slammed busy! I love their coffee!!
