    Food
    Maddy L.

    This place is fantastic! I really enjoyed the tomato soup, the service was excellent, and the cozy small town diner vibe made it even better.

    Biscuits and gravy eggs over easy and ham

    The perfect little out of the way diner. We walked in and several tables had groups of locals eating before going the work. The server was so inviting. She knew we were not from around there. Large portions freshly made to order. This is what most diners want to be when they grow up. Our coffee cups were always full and it was so cool listening to all of the different conversations going on. A must stop

    Pancakes
    Melissa F.

    Portion sizes are large, the side order of 2 pancakes could feed all 3 of my kiddos! The kitchen was short staffed though so we waited a while for food that came out lukewarm at best. I liked the no extra charge for substituting sweet potato fries for crinkle cut. The kids loved the quarter bubble gum or bouncy ball machine. With no other options other than gas station hot dogs or a McDonald's 20 miles away worth stopping if you are hungry between Missoula and Kalispell.

    It's places like this I'm scared to review, because once others find it we'll never find seats again. This is a great classic diner with that old-school counter vibe. Family run, and the owners were super friendly. They just took over from their mom who passed away, and it's been in their family for over twenty years. Highly recommend "the breakfast" option if you're looking for a hearty meal. Stack of massive pancakes (added blueberry), and quoting Ron Swanson it included "all the bacon and eggs" they had. If you're looking for a solid no frills breakfast (or lunch & dinner) spot with great service, classic American food and a relaxed atmosphere look no further.

    The special of the day an extreme grilled cheese sandwich and fries

    This visit was great, waitress was nice and funny, the food was delicious, cheesy goodness, was so full I couldn't finish everything. Cleaning going on must be getting ready for the winter, it was quiet today, all around great visit.

    When I say huge pancakes, I mean it!

    See all

    The food and services were both great, it was a cute little diner that still had that comfortable vibe that you don't see often
