    This was a nice pleasant stop during my travels. I like how its facing the sunrise. The people working here are very sweet nice and all the goodness that goes with that. The foods was tasty. The Beaver town felt like my town of Hesperia back in the 80's, so small, so spread out. It made me wish I was a kid again roaming around. Thank you El Bambi!!

    Breakfast here is such a great thing. Came in on a rainy Saturday just after they opened. Place has been operating since early 60's. Large servings of fresh made breakfast standards. Service all seems so personal here, even though we're not locals. I had the Corned beef eggs and house potatoes. Crispy tender and again large portion. Cooked just the way it should be. My wife had eggs, potatoes and bacon. Both of the plates come with toast, English muffin other breads. Ton's of local pictures on all the walls from way back. It's a great local hangout that accepts travelers. When in the neighborhood stop in and find out for yourself.

    Mont Cristo with onion rings

    Traditional diner fare...we went with their "famous" Monte Cristo which, unfortunately, fell flat for us. The sandwich was not as crispy as we had hoped and lacked enough ham and cheese so the ratio of bread to meat was off. No powdered sugar as one would expect. The onion rings were plenty crispy and flavorful.

    Denver omelet

    Easily the best breakfast I've ever had! El Bambi Cafe is a hidden gem in Beaver, UT. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The coffee is a little on the weak side, but the food more than makes up for it--it's absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Denver omelet, side of sausage, or the hamburger steak. Yummy! We'll definitely be stopping here again whenever we pass through. I honestly wish we could eat here every day. Just a heads-up: it's a small-town spot, so if it's busy you might have to wait--but trust me, it is WELL WORTH IT! :) Oh also kid friendly.

    Chef salad. Really tasty and so much meat and cheese and everything. One of the nicest chef salads I've had in a minute.

    This is a five star local diner by any definition you're looking to find. Over 80 year old diner. We got the clubhouse and the chef salad. First, the clubhouse was so fresh and lovely. A lot of times these sandwiches are coated in way too much mayo and the bacon isn't fresh. On this one the sandwich was just perfect. It was fresh and the veggies were just on point. One of the loveliest sandwiches I've had in a long time. The chef salad was huge. Tons of meat and cheese and the lettuce was fresh. I couldn't have liked it more. Well done. The service was polite and amazing. Could not have been better. The ambience is a small local town diner that is just super lovely. If you're in the area come this way!

    Holy cow, this ice cream is amazing!…read more This is the perfect place to stop on a road trip. They have a fun store with all kinds of treats and souvenirs, and the kitchen/restaurant looked nice, too. But the ice cream ... the ice cream! The menu looked amazing, and I wanted to try so many flavors, but I went with the cherry chocolate amaretto option. And wow, as a cherry chocolate chip ice cream connoisseur, this is by far the best version I've ever had! They do close at a time that felt pretty early to me, so make sure you check the time if you plan to stop. But even though we got there right before closing, we were still able to order, and there were tables outside to eat at. I'll be back!

    This is a destination type restaurant, so it's very busy and hot. We waited in line for over 90…read moreminutes!! I wanted to leave but my friend really wanted to try the food. So we stayed. The food line and the ice cream line were about the same. I was blown away that there is only ONE register to take orders. I get the concept of the whole place, so if you want to experience it, you should. I don't believe I will ever be in that area again and if I do, I am not wasting my time there. Are you wondering if the food was worth the wait? No. Was it good, it was, but not 90 minutes of waiting good.

    We had been here before, so we came back expecting another good experience. We chose Parowan Cafe…read moreto celebrate our 7-year-old's birthday because she was excited to have a special birthday breakfast. When we asked our waitress if they did anything for birthdays, she seemed dismissive and irritated, responding, "We don't do things for birthdays, sorry." I understand that not every restaurant offers birthday desserts or freebies, but what was disappointing was that there was no effort to acknowledge the birthday or even speak to my daughter. A simple "Happy Birthday" would have meant a lot. Unfortunately, the service continued to be disappointing. It took quite a while to place our order, we were never asked if we needed anything else or wanted refills, and when we were ready to leave, we tried multiple times to get our waitress's attention for to-go boxes and the check. She ignored us, and we eventually had to flag down another server for assistance. This experience left us feeling overlooked, especially on what was supposed to be a special morning for our daughter. We weren't expecting anything extravagant--even a little whipped cream on her pancakes and a sincere "Happy Birthday" would have made her feel celebrated. Based on this experience, we won't be returning.

    The so-called "best cinnamon rolls" were truly awful…read more I've seen the I-15 billboard many times, and finally decided (having a bit of extra time on this particular drive) to try them out. The cinnamon roll was dry and stale. It wasn't just day-old, it tasted like it was several days old. Do not waste your time stopping at this Cafe. I'd give zero stars if I could.​
