We enjoyed breakfast there two mornings in a row. The food is perfect, the coffee hot and the service is with a smile. The pancakes were rated 5-star by my husband. They were tall and filled the plate. I loved my sausage omelette. We love breakfast out and this one was a real winner in our book! read more

This is my family's very favorite breakfast spot. The food never disappoints. Today I ordered eggs over easy and bacon, the kids had french toast, pancakes, and hash browns. All the plates were practically licked clean. Today's food service was impressively fast. We will be back! read more

Breakfast was great! Service was very good. I would return over and over again. Thiis is a really cute place.

Best biscuits and sausage gravy I've ever had in a restaurant. Pancakes are yummy too

Really surprising!! As pretty much the only place to get breakfast, my hopes weren't high, but it was so good!! The biscuits were fluffy and moist and homemade and my French toast was really good- you could actually taste a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. The service was also great. If we lived in the area we would totally be back! read more

Friday night fish fry all you can eat is never a disappointment. Ordered half and half baked and deep fried, homemade cornbread, whipped butter, homemade blue cheese dressing for mixed greens salad, coleslaw like grandma's and a solid baked potato with real sour cream. Served by hard working locals who are always happy to see return customers. Our to go order was hot and handed over with a smile. Could tell cause no one is wearing a mask. That should change to get 5+ stars to keep Life good in Pine for all. read more

Fantastic little small town diner. Great breakfast good service and easy and quick to get in and out.

Excellent service, and THE best breakfast cafe near the rim. My wife had the breakfast burrito, well only half of it because it was huge. We boxed the other half, and I really enjoyed the other half within their homemade salsa the following morning. I had the biscuit stacker smothered with gravy and believe it's the best sausage gravy around AZ. Great biscuits and perfectly cooked eggs too. This team has it down! read more

We were up for just the weekend and are here twice for breakfast. It is so delicious! Definitely one of the best french toast I've had and great sausage links! The biscuits were amazing and fluffy!!! read more

We love going to have very reasonably priced breakfast at this local cafe when in Pine at our cabin. Everything is tasty. Pancakes are large and fluffy and biscuits and gravy are some of our favorites. French today is yummyD well. We've been there many times and love this local favorite. read more

The food is alright, too greasy but it's a diner so that's normal. The waitresses are very rude and the bussers gave us better service and were very fast. They were always busy but the waitresses were gossiping behind the bar and constantly gave them more work and it made me feel so bad for them because the waitresses hardly did any work. Our waitress threatened to beat up a busser for putting a milkshake in a to go cup instead of a dine in cup. That was very unsettling, I was only trying to eat out with my sister and I'm getting scared for the waitresses. Not at all a relaxing place. read more

The food was good and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, the experience kind of ruined that. We ordered take out, thankfully, because the staff was extremely unpleasant. No one seems happy to be there, one employee even complained loudly while we were there about not being able to leave, only to have another staff member snap at her to get back to work. I happened to glance back into the kitchen and noted that it was pretty filthy, and they are completely disregarding mask and social distancing guidelines. Being in a small town is no excuse, many Pine businesses are doing a great job keeping safe. read more

Wow, you can't go wrong having a great breakfast here! GREAT wait staff and the food was out quick!!

Good breakfast food (lots of it on your plate), coffee strong but not bitter, nice people, prices good. Was told by another customer, who lives in Pine by way of retiring from Scottsdale, that the homemade pies really are homemade by a woman down the street from the restaurant, and every one she makes is good. Bathrooms clean, good parking. Ambiance is friendly and cheery. Decor is chickens and it would be cute if the place remodeled from the 1980's to today. Oh well, to quote a famous rock star, "you can't always get what you want!" But I got what i needed, a yummy breakfast. read more

Super good food! HUGE portions.... cute little cafe off the highway. It's a small country style place that seems to be family run. Nice staff....they recommended the Biscuit Stack and it was a great choice! read more

This place was the pits! Dirty, bad service with an attitude and the food was awful. We always try to patronize a locally owned restaurants vs. a national chain. This place sends me right down to Payson for a McDonalds breakfast. read more

I've been here for breakfast a few times and generally the food has been pretty good. However, this time I went for lunch and the food was pretty terrible. I ordered a burger, which was near burned. The onion has basically zero flavor, and the tomato was a barely red end piece with the middle missing from the stem. Basically, the burger was dry and lacked almost all flavor. I'm amazed at how little flavor this had. As for service, it was....meh. Was it bad? No. Was it good? No. Basically, the ladies did there job to a minimum. Never saw a smile or any effort of any kind to create a pleasant atmosphere. It was just them walking around placing things on tables and writing down my order. This is an area in which a small town place like this should shine. Heck, I'd even come back to give the food another try if I there was a little effort to be friendly, smile, share a joke or anything with the customer as to not give the impression of "I can't wait until it's time to get off work." read more

This little diner spot was exactly what we were looking for on a Saturday morning. Plus it's a deals place! No wait, huge portions, and hot coffee. Food came out hot and quick and the "short order" of biscuits and gravy could have been enough for 2 of us. Husband was happy with the corned beef and it was relaxed enough that when baby started to fuss no one was bothered. The service was prompt and friendly. If you're looking for a classic breakfast and the feeling of being full all morning, this is your spot. read more

I ate breakfast here on Memorial weekend and this place was top of their game. 5 stars for quality of food and service. It is family owned. Mom was cooking in back and the daughters were taking orders. I ordered the breakfast burrito. A large burrito that you can custom build. I had sausagez,egg, hash browns, and mushrooms. They ask if you want the hash browns on the side or in. They have great hash browns. It made for a great burrito. My son has the 2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 meat combo. My new favorite breakfast spot. read more

Food was amazing! Service a little slow but food was worth the wait! You get a ton of food for a great price

We've been here often for breakfast. Went several weeks ago. Food was good, went to pay my check, dropped a coin on the floor, went to pick it up and there was a baby cockroach running across the floor. I don't know if I'll ever be back read more

This place was a cute diner with tasty breakfast foods. I would recommend the Eggs Benedict or the Biscuits and Gravy. Would have given five stars but no masks were worn by staff and service was without a smile. Also flies were very present during the entire meal, and a large swamp cooler was pointed at our booth so our food got cold very quickly. read more

First time in Strawberry! This place gets 1,000 stars if I could! I wish I had taken a pic of our delicious breakfast but man i just couldn't wait! Waitresses were very friendly and the place is just such a cozy space which I love! Will definitely be back and recommend to all if they come visit. read more

Great for breakfast. This is a simple diner style place offering big breakfast plates and great prices. It's standard home fries, pancakes, omlettes, bacon and eggs. They serve lunch every day and diner on the weekends although I have only been for breakfast. It's allways filling, consistent and easy on the wallet! read more

This place had amazing food. Although, the place isn't that nice. They need new floors and seats but that didn't stop us from eating here. The price is great as well! I got a 3 item omelette that came with a biscuit and hash browns. My bf got a biscuit and gravy meal and altogether was less than 20 dollars. The food amount was perfect too, it wasn't too much or too less. Every time we go up to Pine to visit the cabin, we will always make it a priority to stop here before we go back home. Great place!!!! read more

Spent the night in,Strawberry and wanted to have a good breakfast. We were excited to see that Early bird was open for,dine in seating. Got to have a great breakfast, and the service was quick,and friendly. read more

If you're in Pine you better stop at the early bird cafe and order the big bird breakfast! Best service and breakfast food in town!

This is one of the best places to eat, they have the best breakfast around, every time we come to the area we have to have a early bird breakfast!!! Definitely a place you want to come to!!! read more

Had the eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy. Both amazing!!! The melon on the side was ripe, the bacon and potatoes were so good. Love this place. read more

Owners are very nice folks however, the restaurant has entirely too many "flies" flying around most all the time & they have so far chosen not to control the dirty fly issue. Therefore, I consider it to be a unhealthy environment in which to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. Unfortunately we cannot eat there as a result. read more

This is by far the best breakfast I have ever had! I love the French toast, just perfect. Eggs Benedict is to die for with home fries (cut up potatoes w/ cooked onions) soooo good! The biscuits are huge, imagine two biscuits in one, HUGE! Biscuits and gravy (sausage gravy) is very yummy too! Fast service. You can't go wrong here! Love this place! read more

Very delicious food! Staff was able to get us seated fairly quickly. They were out of kids menus so the server informed us what was on it for my son. My husband and I got the biscuits and gravy! They were the most fluffiest delicious biscuits that we had very had! Great job!!! read more

My 73 yo Dad eats here 5-6 mornings/week. When I'm in town, I usually go and meet him. The meals are always consistently good, large portions, and really well priced. The best thing about a small town are the regulars. You see all the same faces each morning so it makes a great start to your day. read more

Have never had a bad breakfast here, great coffee too. Service has been good, just depending on how busy they are. Just remember you are on Pine Time. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on the way out of Pine. The bang for your buck is all there! I definitely suggest getting at least one pancake! We also ordered the veggie omelette with home fries... SO GOOD! The only downside would be the random decor, and let's be real, you don't go to a small cafe like this for the decor. We will definitely be back! read more

This is a lovely place .The food is like country, down home cooking. The portions are hefty. The waitresses know their stuff. Everyone is always so friendly. The best cheeseburger ,or at the very least, one of the best, I've ever had. The bacon is out of a dream. Cooked to perfection. If biscuit and gravy is your thing, this place is calling your name. A half portion is all I can handle. It's clean and comfortable. Highly recommended. Oh, the chicken is salivating worthy. Parking is easy. read more

Service bad, food good, for some reason I got less hash browns than everyone else, perhaps they don't like out-of-towners, all the locals got served very quickly unlike me who they forgot about. read more

Love the old mid west feel to this cafe! Everyone knows each other here, the service is great and the food is pretty good too! Went here 2 mornings in a row on a weekend trip to strawberry. read more

The six of us ordered a variety of items from their breakfast menu (eggs, omelets, biscuits & gravy, breakfast sandwich, potatoes, fruit, etc.) The food & service was great. read more
