    Pancakes !!
    Mindi J.

    Just a little non descript cafe off the road. Not fancy. Not big. But the food and service was the best !! It is small inside. So you may have to wait. And please do. You won't regret it. The waitress was working the whole room and was just the friendliest person. She was pleasant and cheerful and made it look like she really was having fun even though she was working her butt off. Start off with a made from scratch cinnamon roll. They are warm and yeasty and delicious. Unless your son scrapes off all the icing on the one you are supposed to be sharing. Hubby got the Italian breakfast. It was good. Lotta food !! It didn't last long enough for a photo. You can get lunch any time which made my BLT loving teen happy. I barely got a photo before she inhaled her food. I got a skillet that was so good. And the toast...homemade and delicious !! Like I said you may have to wait. Food is made when you order but ooooh it is so delicious it is worth it

    Welcome to the Northern Cafe!

    I've driven by the Northern Cafe for years -- but I never really considered stopping in for breakfast until my wife's uncle told me how much he enjoys his breakfasts there while he is visiting from Colorado every summer. So I decided to give it a try. On the one hand -- there is nothing remarkable about the Northern Cafe. It is a small breakfast and lunch joint not unlike thousands of similar places around the country. The food is pretty darn good but it is far from what you would call "up scale" or "fine cuisine". On the other hand, the Northern Cafe, their food, and the service, is a throw back to a time and place years ago where you could always find a really decent home cooked breakfast or lunch, served by a friendly waitress at a "mom & pop" diner along major US highways (I.e. before the advent of the interstate system and chain restaurants). Die-hard foodies will find the food a mixed bag -- I know I did. For example, their roast beef hash and eggs was OK but I wasn't thrilled with the hash which was more of a mixture of hash-browned potato shreds mixed with some finely chopped roast beef, fried crispy on the flat top. Still the flavors were pretty good and it went well with a couple of perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs, toast and coffee. All in all -- a decent but average meal. Some reviewers rave about their cinnamon rolls. I found the flavor fine, sweet but not cloyingly so, and the taste went well with my coffee, but the roll was actually a bit dry and pasty. I doubt I will order it again -- except maybe to see if the one I got was an anomaly (and then I will amend my review). On another visit I ordered their sausage gravy biscuit platter -- a half portion of biscuits and gravy, fried potatoes and two eggs (any style). Again the eggs were cooked perfectly. The fried potatoes, sliced as thin as potato chips, were excellent. And the sausage gravy over home made biscuits was probably the best I've eaten (except when I make my own at home). If you like sunny side up eggs, they make a great topping on the biscuits and gravy -- the runny yolk adds an exquisit richness to the plate. It will fill you up and satisfy your hunger until dinner. I give this dish five stars. I'll definitely be frequenting the Northern Cafe and trying some of their other specialties, or scarfing down my favorites. BTW -- If you drink decaf coffee -- be forewarned, the Northern Cafe does not brew a pot of decaf until someone orders it. Regular customers who like decaf call ahead so it is ready when they arrive!

    Have ordered biscuits with sausage gravy with two basted eggs on top
