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!

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.

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

The was their breakfast sandwich and it was SO GOOD and big!

This little mom and pop place was perfect! It was recommended by one of their family friends as I flew into the Fairbanks airport and they didn't disappoint! The food was delicious! The service was great, the owner was super friendly!

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.

I had biscuits and gravy since it is homemade gravy. Not homemade at all. I think the cook may put sausage in it but the gravy is definitely bagged. Pancakes. Much better than Lil Richards diner. Had more flavor. Customer service is great. Very attentive. Decor is poor. Not a 5 star maybe a 1 star on decor. Plastic chairs, fold up card tables with a picnic plastic table cloth. 2nd set of doors has plastic and duck tape sticking out so it's the first thing you see as you walk to the front. Not appeasing to the eye. Interior choice of smurf blue walls is horrible. With the dark days and nights during the winter I think they need to vamp up the interior to make it a better overall experience. read more

People raved about the breakfast here so I couldn't wait to try it. Unfortunately, I couldn't ever catch them open even though I drove by at 9 am and 3 pm Mon-Fri. They seem to keep odd hours for a diner. When I finally did catch them open it was such a disappointment! The food was greasy and both of our eggs were overcooked. It would be a great place to go if your hungover. read more

The employee was abrupt, came off as rude, and didn't offer any alternatives or try to help find a solution. It felt dismissive, especially when I was just trying to order something I've safely had before. I came in hoping to enjoy a simple outing with my boyfriend, and instead left feeling frustrated and excluded.

We recently visited Country Kitchen for the second time in the three years we've lived here, and I must say, the upgrades they've made really stand out! The ambiance was brightened up, yet they've kept the charming planes hanging in the restaurant, which adds a unique touch. I ordered the Black Forest ham eggs benedict, something I often get at other places, but the hollandaise sauce here was by far the best I've ever had. The entire meal was delicious and beautifully presented. My daughter and I absolutely loved the home fries--seasoned to perfection, just the way we like them! My husband went for the breakfast combo and cleaned his plate, which says a lot! We did experience a bit of a wait, but it was totally worth it for the quality of food and the friendly atmosphere. Overall, our visit was delightful, and I can't wait to return again soon! read more
