VIBE: 10/10, small locally owned spot in a small strip mall, near a taco bell. super clean, which i deeply appreciated. kind employees who seem to truly enjoy their work environment. if i lived here, this would be one of my spots. it's about 20 minutes from Fairbanks, super easy drive. MENU: awesome choices!! we came for breakfast, see photos for full menu. i had opted for the $3.50 up-charge to try reindeer sausage, which was a first for me. apparently people cannot sell 100% reindeer meat, so the sausage was blended with pork. i couldn't taste a difference from a typical sausage, but maybe that's just me. PARKING: free in the lot in front NOTES: mosquitoes are a thing everywhere, even in restaurants, so spray yourselves with a bit of essential oils to steer clear of bites! afterwards, go to The Santa Claus House, take a free pic with a real Santa, and pet the reindeer! read more

The food was good and served quickly. Nice little diner! Met a friend there and it was nice to be able to hear one another chat! I had the soup, which was delicious. It also was the perfect temperature! My friend had breakfast and my girls had pancakes. All of us were pleased with our choices and the amount of food. With the parking being ample very close to the door, it's the perfect little setup in the North Pole! read more

I love the original souvlaki Since they were on 2nd Ave. a long time ago many many years ago people keep posting stuff on there about it. I don't like it. They're fabulous anybody that didn't get anything good from there. You either didn't have patience or you didn't take the time to correct the order read more

First trip to Alaska and we decided to try the Country Cafe. The food was really good and Amy (owner and our waitress) provided excellent service , was super friendly, and answered all our questions! You must stop in for the Ron and Linda breakfast and hear their sweet story! The restaurant is the perfect balance charm and quirky! read more

Late flight out of Fairbanks today so I came to North Pole Alaska for one more Triple D. Maybe I can see Santa to get my name off the naughty list. When in Nome do as the Nomans do. If you are in Fairbanks you would be making a mistake by not visiting the country cafe in North Pole. The place is a mom and pop diner with remote control planes hanging from the ceiling. It's just a plane space if you ask me. It's big bright and home the waitress and front house staff are really nice. The menu has many interesting choices and dang did that food come fast. The Croissant French toast was delicious although it was a bit mooshy I still enjoy. The glaze was not super sweet that was a nice touch. I added the reindeer sausage and that was a great choice. Kind of warped to eat reindeer in Santa's home town thought. Try it yourself. Cute joint and a must visit local friendly place. read more

We saw the reindeer sausages on the menu and decided to give it try! It's a small restaurant in a strip mall with plenty of parking. I ordered their signature burger with a side of reindeer sausages. I didn't care for the sausages but the burger was good! We left satisfied with our bellies full! Also grateful that the staff there are so friendly read more

This morning, we drove to North Pole to eat breakfast at the Country Cafe. My wife had their special, croissant French toast with berry compote, eggs and bacon, and I had biscuits and gravy with ham and scrambled eggs. Both meals were delicious, my wife's, especially scrumptious. Nice interior with fairly large model airplanes hanging from the ceiling. Service was great and our waitress was very friendly. read more

Love this place!! Have never had a meal that wasn't just plum wonderful!! I especially love the Rubin Sandwich! It's soo good, keeps me coming back !! Prices aren't too bad either!! Thank you for giving North Pole another nice place to go!!! read more

This place has amazing food and the staff is beyond welcoming and attentive. A must try if you are in North Pole

Wonderful food. Excellent staff and very friendly. Also do take out orders if all the seats are taken,

We came here from Hawai'i in November and this was our go to spot for breakfast all three days we were here. The staff were extremely friendly, food was excellent, and it was a cozy diner. No need to say we will be back next year and thanks for the recommendations on what to see in the area! read more

One of the best Ruebens that I've had the pleasure of eating! The sandwich was quite large! My husband had the Signature salad, which was also very tasty. The service was genuinely friendly which topped off the pleasant lunch experience! Thanks for that! read more

For whatever reason, North Pole seems to have a much better breakfast seen that Fairbanks, which is much later! A classic diner/greasy spoon with a few unique twists: 1) A Bulgogi burger! 2) An insanely decadent croissant French toast! I came for breakfast and ordered the second. I'm not much into sweets, but when I am...it's French toast at breakfast. (gotta have a black coffee though, to cut the sugar...so I can eat more sugar) It was unique and delightful, and of course came with very quick coffee refills. It came with a side of bacon that was generously portioned. The interior was bland and drab but...seriously who cares? Service was warm and friendly, they make you feel like family. read more

This is an unassuming place next to a Taco Bell and also a Chinese restaurant down the strip mall area. When you walk in you see a bunch of RC planes and cars which is really cool and brought back memories of my childhood back for a spell. This seemed like a local eatery but we were glad we chose to eat a small brunch there. The cream of broccoli soup needed a little salt and pepper to bring it to my liking. My wife had the chicken fried steak with delicious white gravy. My daughter had a slice of French toast and scrambled eggs with hash browns, which were all cooked to perfection. The service was great super friendly staff all around. I had the French Dip and I've had many different variations of it and the hoagie bread which is usually super crunchy and crusty. I appreciated the fact that the hoagie bread was super fresh and soft. The pairing with the cream of broccoli was so good, especially in the cold Alaska weather. Everything there was very well done. Excellent place to get some wholesome food. read more

We tried the Country Cafe for breakfast this morning. The staff were friendly and provided quick service. We ordered the country fried steak which came with eggs, hash browns and toast. The portion was massive. We could have split one and been completely satisfied. The price was about what you would expect-$40.00 for two of us with coffee. When we were checking out, we saw some ornaments hanging on a tree. They were for purchase as a donation. They explained who makes these ornaments, which were pretty neat. I would definitely come back here again! read more

After having a disappointing experience at Cookie jar restaurant my wife and I found country cafe and it did not disappoint! Outstanding friendly service and food. We had eggs, french toast, bacon and reindeer sausage, all perfect. We went back the next day and enjoyed another great experience. We were driving from Fairbanks to Anchorage and back to Fairbanks and our only disappointment was that our return flight from Fairbanks was Monday afternoon, the only day you are closed. So bummed as we were looking forward to a last great breakfast before airport food. :) Thank you for such a fantastic experience. Everyone at this establishment was friendly and efficient. We couldn't be happier. I think we spoke with Amy there and want to thank you and and wish you and family the very best!! Also, Thank you for helping getting me to RC plane website. jim and justine from Boston this review was also shared on TripAdvisor read more

A few friends and I stumbled upon Country Cafe during a trip to Fairbanks/North Pole back in December 2023. We were so glad we found this place! We had the pizza soup, bulgogi, french toast, reindeer sausage, and a few other dishes - everything was seasoned deliciously, well portioned, and fresh. We were lucky enough to be waited on by Amy, the owner, who gave us wonderful recommendations on the food, Alaska, and everything inbetween. Country Cafe is a gem!! I'll be back next time I'm in AK. read more

Just passing through, and Yelped a place to eat. It seemed this place was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives at some point, so I was intrigued. The decor is pretty basic. The service was friendly. I had to laugh when my $3 coffee came with powdered creamer. I mean, really? I could have gotten that for free in my hotel room. I ordered a veggie omelette, hubby had the biscuits and gravy. Both were decent, but average. Portions are large and around $15 average for most items. read more

Delicious huge breakfast! Super friendly service. I had the country fried steak and it was fabulous! This isn't a fancy place, definetely somewhere locals go after church on Sundays! read more

This was the best food we've had in AK. My husband and i are visiting from CA & the owner took time to chat with us. The portions are massive & the flavor is great. A must stop breakfast spot. read more

Honestly, for what it is, and where it is. They made a great Reuben! I'm not a fry person, but the soup of the day didn't sound great. So, the fries are ok. Super crispy and smoking hot. The grilled club my coworker got looked amazing, and our drinks got refilled. For the price, it was worth it. Look, it's plastic tables, and not fancy. But why would you need fancy to eat breakfast, or lunch. I mean I was in my work clothes anyway. Reuben had a decent meat to crout ratio, and was grilled crispy on the outside. The Rye bread was a little light on flavor, but still overall good. read more

Friendly waitstaff. Good burger and fries. Try the Korean bulgogi. I didn't order it myself, but I tried some of my mom's and the meat was flavored very nicely. It's a little too big and messy to be a sandwich like it's served, but a fork will do the trick. Anywhere else and I'd say this is probably a 3-star place, but for this part of Alaska, I rounded up to a 4. read more

First time here, amazing service and amazing food. We had the chicken fried steak, pancake, and eggs Benedict and all were exceptionally delicious! The restaurant itself was very clean and the staff was super on point. Will definitely be back! . Also the ice coffee is good too. read more

the food was delicious, portions were very big so great bang for your buck & the service was outstanding! the owner even came by and chatted with us and she was amazing! 10/10 recommend this spot! read more

Been going here for a dozen years...they never usually let me down. Sunday, the over medium eggs were essential raw (egg white translucent/clear... speed of prep is getting to be key over quality... I hope they read this so they can up the game. I guess it's scrambled for now... I sure do like the bulgogi sandwich for lunch. read more

make sure to order the Korean Dumplings. they were incredible. comfort good in super sized portions along with a very kind and attentive staff. read more

Delicious! I got the yaki mandu and the bulgogi sandwich. They seem to be underemployed on weight staff but the young lady did an excellent job. Definitely worth the wait for the food! read more

Breakfast is served all day at the Country Café in North Pole, Alaska. Nothing tests my will more than trying a uniquely southern American delicacy in the most northern of American places. I've had biscuits and gravy near Santa's house yo! The Country Café's small "soup kitchen" atmosphere does not prevent this establishment from coming through when one aches for a plate of B&G. It was adequate. It quenched my B&G need. They had other classically breakfast fare on the menu. But when my eyes get fixed on biscuits and gravy, it's all I can think about. Even in the North Pole, Alaska, the call of B&G was too much to handle. The prices were a little high for breakfast, but it's Alsaka, so it is to be expected. Try breakfast here. You'll be glad you did. read more

We tried the country cafe our first day in Fairbanks. Our group of three enjoyed each item that we ordered. So much so we went back two days later to eat again. Both trips to the cafe have been filled with top of the line service from the incredibly friendly staff. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Biscuits and gravy were a favorite, along with the reindeer sausage, and the country cafe burger. Highly recommend this place for a great bite to eat at a reasonable price with fantastic service. read more

Great service and great food. Big portions. We had a party of 7 and everybody loved there meal. Chicken fried steak was amazing. The omelettes were delicious. Service with a smile and delicious food something you don't experience to often anymore. A must stop if your hungry and in the North Pole. read more

Our breakfast was good, but not outstanding. We were seated quickly, but told there was a backup in the kitchen so the food might take a while, which was true. I had pancakes and bacon, pretty simple, no problems. Hubby went with lunch and had the bulgogi sandwich. It was ok, but could have had a bit more flavor to it. Portions were generous, and we left satisfied. read more

Awesome place to eat. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive. Everyone was friendly We used this as our go to place for lunch and Dinner whenever we were close by. We stayed in Fairbanks and took day trips everyday. We found the North Pole to have the an interesting list of activities near by . Anything from ice fishing to snowmobile riding ,to the great big Santa house. We will always have fond memories of this trip and the country cafe. Ed and Diana Howell read more

All hyped up but my expectations were not full met. Although it was pretty good but it didn't stand out to me. The country skillet was good, a little much for me. My boyfriend insisted we came here because he wanted their "home made biscuits & gravy" but it didn't appear to be home made. Just a basic cheap dinner breakfast, cheap, fast & pretty good. Diners, drives & dives hyped this place up & I was way to excited for nothing really. read more

This is a good place to go to get an unassuming plate of food. We stopped in after hearing some great reviews about Country Cafe. I got a grilled ham and cheese with fries and it was ok. The sandwich tasted good but for some reason, it was super soggy so the top bread was grilled nicely but the bottom was a squishy mess. My partner got the country fried steak and eggs and said that it was good - not the best she's had but not the worst either. Service was quick and friendly so if we happen to be in the area, we'd stop in again. read more

Great service, great food, nice place to go for a quick last minute meal. The people are super nice and by far the BEST biscuits and gravy I have ever had! read more
