My family recently vacationed in Overgaard for a few days of sightseeing, and we ended up eating at…read morethis cafe every single day of our trip. That should tell you everything you need to know!
From our very first visit, we felt welcomed and seated promptly. The food came out fresh, hot, and delicious every time. As an added bonus, they're military friendly, my husband was given his military discount without any hassle, which we really appreciated.
We're late risers on vacation, so we came in later in the morning each day. Some visits the place was busy, other times there were only a few tables occupied, but it didn't matter either way, the service was consistently great no matter how full the place was.
We tried a little bit of everything during our visits. The Lumberjack was a hit, and I had a crispy sandwich with fries that were seriously amazing, they're shoe string fries, which I much prefer over the thicker cut, so that was a huge win for me. I also had homemade onion rings that were perfectly crispy. My kids ordered chocolate chip pancakes and eggs, and even with my twins being a little picky (one wanted cheese, the other didn't), the kitchen got their orders exactly right every time, plates cleaned! My elderly mother tried the senior specials and loved every meal she had.
Our waitresses, Jeannie and Jennifer, were absolutely wonderful. So friendly, so attentive, always checking in and keeping our coffee cups full. It's the kind of genuine, warm service you just don't find at chain restaurants anymore, and it made a huge difference in our experience.
We couldn't leave without dessert, and honestly we didn't want to. The kids tried a different cookie each day, and I made sure to try the pie, which was absolutely delicious and clearly baked fresh. The bakery area itself was so charming, decked out with a patriotic theme and tons of cute little signs and decor. I actually tried to buy one of the signs to take home, but they weren't for sale, ha! I also picked up a jar of their homemade elderberry syrup, and they had some lovely handmade items available too. I couldn't resist grabbing a magnet on our way out, now I have a little souvenir on my fridge to remember this special cafe every time I walk by.
Prices are extremely reasonable, and you will not leave hungry. This cafe was a highlight of our trip, and we can't wait to go back next time we're in the area!
