Arrived at 7 am yesterday. Do not recommend sitting anywhere near the kitchen as you'll hear the…read morecomplaints of the kitchen staff in addition to the waitresses. Old, wobbly tables with the thick plastic-y table cloths from the 70s or 80s. Service was slow even though it wasn't that busy yet. For food we had the Southerner with bacon and scrambled eggs, and biscuits & gravy with scrambled eggs and hash browns. The biscuits & gravy were passable, the bacon was fatty and undercooked, the scrambled eggs were bland and dry, and the hash browns were burnt. Coffee couldn't even compete with Kwik Trip. I don't know, after re-reading my review I'm tempted to bump it down to two stars instead of three, but maybe the regular cook is on vacation???

Food is very tasty. This is not "fast" food. It is worth the wait…read more The current waitstaff has always met me with a smile. I stopped in on the 4th of July, the place was full but the staff still met me with a smile. I only wanted a cold drink and it was delivered within a reasonable time. If I had wanted to eat, it was going to be a wait. But the staff was informing people of this before they ordered. If there is a special, order it. It won't take as long and it will be worth it. I had been waiting to try their broiled shrimp as was glad I made the effort to travel to the Lakewood Cafe. I'll get it again before I leave the area.

The two bright spots were the service we got up until we got our food, and the Eggs Benedict. So yeah, everything was going swimmingly, then we got our food and two minutes later the waitress placed our bill on our table and thus our water glasses and coffee cups were no longer replenished. And the Hashbrown Delight . . . it was hard to find any hashbrowns; I had to scrape a majority of the topping off to be able to see/taste any. Paid extra for scrambled eggs--hand to God, I thought they put a folded up crepe on the side of my plate. No scrambles in sight, just a dry sheet of egg. Ugh.

There were 3 of us for breakfast at 10 am on a Friday morning. The restaurant was busy, but it took…read more50 minutes to get our orders and then they came out 5-10 minutes apart. We received coffee refills but no check-ins by our server to update us. The food was average for the price. My eggs Benedict were smothered in way too much Hollandaise sauce. We may give it another chance on a different day of the week since it might have just been a bad day.

Small friendly cafe. Stopped for breakfast. Basic menu with something for everyone. (Omelets,…read moreskillet, pancakes, oatmeal, etc.). It was quiet and had a few locals there. I ordered the eagle's nest and my husband ordered the sportsman's skillet. The food was delivered quickly and just as we ordered it. I was delighted to see on the table in addition to jam, they also have peanut butter or honey. I had honey on my English muffin and it hit the spot! The sweet buttery treat complemented with eggs and bacon. If you are looking for a no-frills, simple breakfast that will not disappoint, this is the place for you. It's clean, updated interior is inviting as well.

The platter was super cheap $15 for 3 kinds of fries, corn dogs, cheese curds, & chicken strips! That could be a chargeable meal it's self hahaha also I thought the elk on the bun was really cool Service was good, the lady was nice Sad they didn't have 1919 though! It's very country and hunting vibes in there haha

Flat Creek is a decent food option while in Hayward. It's easy comfort food, with a large enough…read moremenu that it's likely everyone in your party can find something to eat. My family has been visiting Flat Creek for years largely because it's a reliable option. This time around we were able to get a table without a wait away from most of the other guests -- a plus during these COVID times. We actually came here after many of the restaurants in downtown Hayward had long wait times. I ordered a reuben sandwich, which was a filling lunch. The sweet potato fries were great to get on the side. I also appreciate that they have a kids menu, with a coloring page as well. This helped entertain my son during our meal. Our server was attentive and friendly. I know we'll be back here several times in years to come.

Unfortunately for the restaurant the staff needs some training on etiquette, the basic standard for wait staff. Which is surprising for the average age of the staff. Basic functions of front of house seem to be lacking any standard organizational skills.

Only four stars due to our side salad not being as fresh as it could have been. The soup, sandwiches, hot and cold were quite good.

Have tried other options around and they tend to be more tourist trap typed over priced option.

I had the eggs Benedict and it lived up to the good reviews I had read. And the hash browns were very good--crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Perfect as far as I'm concerned.

It came with hash browns and salsa and choice of toast, pancakes, or biscuit. Service was fast and friendly. Cute classic diner!
