Went here for my Son's Birthday we walked in and it was full. Just kinda stood there. My sister spoke to a waitress, asked if there was a wait. The waitress told us 20 min turned around and walked away. It was unfortunate. I heard the food was good. My Son already has social anxiety and felt unwelcome. I wanted to give this place a chance but we really felt unwelcome. read more

Another ride to eat day on the cycle. We've been eying this place on Yelp for a while and made the trek here this morning for breakfast. There is plenty of street parking with easy access to the restaurant. Inside there are a handful of tables and booths. There are also a couple of tables out front. Service was just mediocre, with drinks being slow to be refilled. Our server wasn't overly friendly, maybe just an off day. The pancakes were very good, bacon crisped just right and my chicken fried steak was pretty decent. Hash browns were just meh, lacking flavor. I asked for them extra crispy, but didn't get delivered that way. If you are looking for the huckleberry variety of dishes, ie: waffles, pancakes, etc, those are only served on Saturdays. read more

Excellent meal! Chicken Fried Steak was very good. Hash browns cooked to order crispy! Egg cooked perfect. Service was great! Great place for breakfast or lunch. Very quaint! read more

Delicious breakfast! It's a small joint that serves lots of comfort food. I got the "House made corned beef Hash" ($18) and I substituted the dice potatoes for hash browns. Hash browns have a good crisp on the outside, the beef is nice and meaty. Everything seemed pretty fresh. Side note: you can't use their outlet plugs for charging any of your devices read more

That fifth star is for those AMAZING huckleberry pancakes!! I've been wanting to try Monica's Buttermilk Kitchen ever since I saw them show up in Chewelah. I finally got the chance today and I'm praying to the likelihood-of-being-in-the-area-again Gods that I'll be beck soon and often. The inside of the "cafe" is bright, clean, but a little tight (small dining area). Fortunately, though, they have an equal amount of seating outside. We were taken to a table immediately with menus in hand and (thankfully) coffee on the way. I ordered the double-stack of huckleberry pancakes with the two eggs and bacon. They came with this amazing ... buttermilk? syrup. The pancakes were incredible; light and fluffy with fresh huckleberries. The eggs were cooked perfectly and four tasty slices of bacon. Prices are very reasonable and service is friendly and efficient. Monica's is a keeper! read more

DELICIOUS AND HOT!! Boy what a nice little gem! At this point it's only open from 7am-1pm so be aware. The service was quick and the food came super fast. I should have set a timer. We went two days in a row and it was quick both times. Coffee was good and the server came by often offering refills. It's right up our alley as far as the decor is concerned! There are license plates on the walls, roosters, chickens.. just very cute! It is a very small place so be ready to wait for a seat. We were lucky enough to get a seat both times. The first day we got there at 9 and it ended up with a small wait time by the time we finished. Good food and plenty of it. This is our half order of bacon and eggs. Hers were scrambled and mine were over medium, both with bacon (delicious by the way!) sourdough toast and she got gravy on the side. We are now pleasantly full and on the road.... Thank you Monica and your whole kitchen!!!!! read more

Perfect place in a cool small town! We had a fabulous breakfast and service was excellent! We will definitely be back.

If you like buttermilk flavored fixings you will love Monica's! I love the pancakes and ham breakfast. The waffles were done perfectly. Hoy coffee and friendly service. Price is comparable to other places in the area. read more

Monica and her team provide an amazing breakfast only surpassed by the service and hospitality they show their guests. Regulars and visitors are treating with joy and respect. A must stop for great food if you're in the area or passing through! read more

Amazing breakfast!! Try their corn beef hash with Poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. You won't be disappointed.

Mary and I we're passing through the area and stopped in for breakfast, first visit. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated, hot coffee came right out. We shared the chicken fried steak, with an extra biscuit. The chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside, the sausage gravy was delicious. The eggs were over easy and perfectly cooked. The hash browns were a tad over cooked. The toast was perfect. The biscuit was a tad dry. Overall a very good breakfast. read more

Fantastic food, friendly staff, quick service. Will definetly be back. Limited seating but they move tables fast

Excellent small town breakfast spot. It's pretty small inside but very clean which is always important. Coffee was hot and plentiful which is one of my biggest measures. Another one is house made food. The biscuits were not but the corned beef hash was so that was huge. Hash scored a 9/10 only because it needed something better than a cold cut style corned beef. People were friendly and welcoming, we would absolutely return. read more

It was ok. House buttermilk sauce was good. Staff was not very friendly, seemed annoyed with any questions. We would try them again if in the area, hoping it was just an off day for our server. read more

Easily the best breakfast in Chewelah. An absolute delight every time my family goes there. Only complaint is that it can be hard to get a table, but that's just a sign that it's good. read more

I stopped in here for a pancake, a side of hash browns, and coffee. I'd had bacon and eggs earlier, so I just wanted carbs and caffeine. It's a homey atmosphere, like a house. The pancake was quite good, and came with homemade buttermilk syrup that tasted great. Being made with buttermilk, it tasted like I was pouring liquid pancakes on my pancakes. No complaints about that, but there were sugar crystals in the syrup that may have melted if it were a kept warmer. Maybe that isn't possible in the plastic syrup container it came in, not sure. The hash browns were dry and not very warm. I only took one bite. The coffee seemed fresh and, if I recall, had some kind of flavoring in it. They provided real half 'n' half. The service was good and very attentive. I'll be back next time I'm in Chewelah. read more

Great little place in Chewelah, the perfect choice for breakfast! Monica's had awesome breakfast, the eggs were done over easy perfectly, the bacon crispy, the hashbrowns just right and the coffee fresh and hot and all this at a great price! Everything was wonderful and tasty, even the two MAGAts didn't bother me. Service was great with the right level of gruffness, we loved it! We'll have to go for pancakes next time, they looked very fluffy and our neighbor table kept going "yummy yummy yummy", so yeah we'll be back for sure! read more

I have been here many times and it's always a delight. I personally think this place has the best chicken fried steak in the 509 area. The staff is always super friendly and very prompt with their service. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a delicious breakfast with out breaking your wallet. read more

Monica’s Buttermilk Kitchen - Sasquatch chicken fried steak!!! I love this place - American Near Me - Chewelah, Washington

This is country style cooking as I expect and love! As the name implies, it is a family run business and the food, service, and atmosphere are as they should be. If you want your bacon or hash browns well-done, then just ask. The coffee is just coffee nothing fussy or fancy. We really enjoy this place which is frequently busy with both locals and tourists. Eggs Benedict is our favorite on Sunday. Biscuits and gravy??? Yes Please! read more

I was excited to try this restaurant out. However, when calling in the order, I was a bit taken back when the female server put me on hold to mock me to another server. Pro tip would be to make sure the patron does not hear you or maybe choose a different line of work. I have been in the service industry for many years and I get all of us have bad days but this was appalling and does not reflect this restaurant nor the staff well. Very disappointing. read more

Food was mediocre at best. The waitress seemed annoyed the entire time we were there. If she was friendly and welcoming I could've gone without writing this review. The outdoor seating was nice because of the weather but overall we won't return and I wouldn't recommend. I spent $90 for my family and I and I felt like I got completely ripped off. The $4.00 glass of orange juice was disgusting, definitely orange juice concentrate, you know the cans from the freezer section that you add water to. Not worth the $4.00. read more

Perfect breakfast place! This is exactly what Chewelah needed. The food was perfect and the prices are very reasonable. $0.50 for a coffee with your meal! I got the Little Logger to try a little bit of everything. Everything was great, exactly how a cafe breakfast should be! Highly recommended. read more

Breakfast here was good. Ordered The Logger breakfast (4 stars), buttermilk pancakes (3.5 stars), and eggs Benedict special (4 stars). Cute atmosphere. Great place to stop for breakfast on the way to the ski hill. Wish they were open Mon & Tues same days as the hill. read more

I reviewed Monica's nearly two years ago so it's time for an update. Tables and chairs outside for the overflow although it was only 43° when we pulled up so we opted for indoors. A polite but clear mask policy posted on the door. Bravo! The specials both included blueberry pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I'm not a huge fan of pancakes but I remembered liking them the last time we were here. That had to be the best pancake I've ever had! Bacon was not too crisp, not too chewy. I think our eggs were only a few minutes removed from the chicken. Fresh and perfectly prepared. It was a good value and well worth the drive! read more

Tasty morsels! Flexible potatoe choices! Friendly! Love the outside tables! Breakfasts are Best!

Waited more than 10 minutes for someone to take our order, when asked the waitress just kept walking. Figured it's beca we are Native Americans, definitely don't recommend read more

Outstanding breakfast My wife had the BERRY FRENCH TOAST special with scrambled eggs I had biscuits w/gravy - like my grandma made for me in South Texas. A couple of eggs, bacon, sausage Service was quick and the place is a jewel We will be back P.S. didn't need to eat lunch read more

It has the small home town country feel like you'd expect. A pretty good breakfast but nothing fancy, just simple. Their homemade syrup was delightful and the pancakes were thick and fluffy but a bit rubbery/chewy on the outside. The bacon was delightful and hearty. Easy to park, easy to find. read more

On a whim we stopped in at this cute cafe. We'd never been here before and were so glad we stopped! We started our meal by splitting the most delicious cinnamon roll. Then 2 of us enjoyed the veggie scramble and the other ordered the country breakfast. The hash browns- excellent! Biscuits--excellent! Eggs, very tasty. Monica was our server and was extremely friendly. We would definitely come here again! read more

Check your receipt! Don't come here often bc always often charge differently. When ordering a la cart the receipt indicates a complete order even though you don't get the HB, toast, etc. It's difficult trying to have a conversation with the party I'm with bc of all the ear hustlers listening. Perhaps having light music would be enjoyable with the meals. Servers don't pay attention. They need to have better PR, CS and service patrons with a welcoming smile. Why is it difficult asking for extra napkins?! Breakfasts I make at home are fulfilling and not salty and don't have to deal with greasy catsup and mustard dispensers. Hate it when the cook stares. Btw, tip accordingly, not the recommended percentage. It's too bad, I wanted to have a good experience but unfortunately this area is simply country. I'm a city girl. We've only been here 4x's, recently was last month. Maybe we'll give them a try one more time... read more

Delicious fluffy pancakes with house created buttermilk syrup hit the spot! Prices were great and service attentive. We sat outside, made for a wonderful way to start day. read more

Friendly owner and great food. An awesome find while out on the bikes. Salads were perfect size and the pancakes were amazingly fluffy.

Very disappointed! Started with unfriendly staff and a very rude cook, he clearly doesn't like to be asked questions. Then it moved on to soggy lettuce on my very salty cheeseburger which was sitting on a dry, cracked, crumbly bun. The topper were the french fries, which were still dripping with grease that were lumped in a pile next to the cheeseburger limp and uneatable. Not recommended! read more
