    Great Breakfast and Lunch location in Medora, been in existence for 44 years. Great Customer Service from Siri, she was so attentive and accommodating Food was excellent and filling. Loved the Biscuits and Gravy. we will return, "Cash Only"

    Caramel Roll

    Strolled in for lunch after visiting the parks. A very cozy, at home atmosphere. The man behind the counter eventually came around to speak to us; he told us stories about other guests, about the area. He was absolutely delightful and highlight of the trip. The food itself was tasty enough, but I'm afraid I'll be glancing over that for the star: The Caramel Roll. This thing was out of this world, and is honestly one of the best sweet treats I've ever had. I could not recommend this enough, and now know I will be dreaming and thinking of this for weeks. Five stars alone for the service and the roll, and five stars for the hope that I will one day be able to return and have another

    We loved this place so much we not only went there for breakfast, we went back for lunch. Super service, lots of character. Yes, they only accept cash

    Good breakfast: ham and scrambled eggs with slice of French toast rather than toast. Good service. Interesting walls with cowboy photos

    Belgium waffles, with whip cream and strawberries.

    This was the best place to eat! Excellent service. We had the French toast and bacon- the Belgium waffles with whip cream and strawberries. Amazing!!! We will definitely be back for lunch!

    Biscuits and gravy

    Absolutely HORRIBLE customer service! We informed the owner/manager that we didn't like, nor eat the biscuits and gravy and eggs. The gravy was brown and greasy, tasted like lard. It was terrible, tasted nothing like typical biscuits and gravy. The eggs were dry and overcooked with no flavor. Definitely not real, fresh eggs. Very nicely, I said that I didn't like the meal, I didn't eat it, and would like it taken off the bill. I was VERY RUDELY told that there was nothing wrong with the food and that we had to pay for it. Again, I calmly said that it was not good and asked about customer satisfaction. He angrily said it's the law and if we didn't pay for it, he'd call the POLICE! We have never been treated so badly by any restaurant before. There was no offer for anything else or a discount on the bill. STAY AWAY from this place. Do not support a business that treats their customers this way and humiliates them in front of the whole restaurant.

    Loved this small town breakfast spot in a small town western world! The walls are covered with cowboys of south western North Dakotah's past. If you are looking for a traditional breakfast while visiting the national park I highly suggest Cowboy Cafe!

    French Toast and Ham for breakfast in Medora ND

    Good breakfast with a pretty standard short order menu. Very busy on a Saturday morning with the sun shining and not everyone was a tourist. There were some locals in the queue with me getting their breakfast so it was busy. I had a simple enough French Toast with ham breakfast and it was tasty and filling. The French Toast was light and fluffy and tasty, soaking up an appropriate amount of syrup. The slice of ham was "city ham" and wasn't too salty at all. I had a great breakfast and it more than kept me going for driving through the park and then a good hundred miles of Interstate afterwards. It's nothing fancy, but who needs fancy when you really just want a good breakfast,

    Clean plate club. The stack in the back is from our caramel roll 'appetizers'.

    This cafe is absolutely fantastic! Do yourself a favor and start with a caramel roll.

    what an excellent cafe! we stopped here on the way to Yellowstone. coffee and pastries were great…read more ambience excellent. staff were very friendly. it's open despite the construction outside! would definitely go again

    We can't say enough nice things about this place. LeAnn and Gene run a wonderful little cafe. We…read morewere in the mood for a sandwich and got off 94 to search for something. The previous reviewers were absolutely spot on with the reviews. Excellent service, excellent food and excellent coffee. All of our sandwiches were fresh and made to exact order. I was bummed we got there late and missed the soup. We will try it next time! Beach is VERY lucky to have this place in town. The cafe is also in western wear store and there are vacation rentals on top of the cafe. The building is a completely renovated old hotel. There are two units. A 1BR and a 2BR. They are far better than any hotel room you will find with kitchens and the bigger one has a back porch. On top of all of this, my mother left her credit card at the cafe and LeAnn and Gene went above and beyond what anyone has ever done to track us down and get us the card back. We are deeply appreciative of their kindness and we can never repay them for what they did. They saved the day and prevented us from having to cancel credit cards, etc. This speaks volumes as to the character of the owners and I hope their business is open for a very long time.
