    As the other reviews mention, the portions are huge at Sykes. I had the Big Sky skillet special, which had chicken fried steak, hash browns, cheese, sausage gravy and eggs. It was easily enough food to feed two people! The service was excellent and friendly and it was great to have espresso available at the cafe in the same building!

    huevos rancheros
    Steve S.

    Busy place for a hearty breakfast. Staff was friendly and attentive. Menu had plenty to choose from and I went with huevos rancheros and it was plenty and delicious. Very good flavors and didn't need siracha.

    A little bit of pepper on coleslaw
    Heather R.

    Everything. Friendly, funny, and personable service. Consistent refills. The pharmacy store next door is awesome.

    Ham & eggs!

    Great (and huge) local breakfast spot. If you're in Kalispell do not pass this one up. Definitely try the CFS

    Eggs and bacon

    When it comes to breakfast, this place definitely knows what's up. It gets packed though. Which we don't mind waiting. I love the 10 cent coffee between 7-9 that's such an awesome thing. The service was good but it was definitely hectic and slightly disorganized. The French toast was some of the absolute best I've ever had! The Huevos rancheros were not my favorite, they were fine but as someone who has spent a lot of time in New Mexico, the rancheros sauce wasn't the best.

    Smoke House Hash
    Wanda H.

    I'm pretty sure we've been here before, but I didn't do a review, so... Ya gotta do what'cha gotta do, right? I ordered the Smoke House Hash which turned out to be DELICIOUS! The service was attentive (refilling of coffee) without being too much. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Definitely a place to come back to! Photo of Breakfast Saddlebag for added interest. Had a couple of bites and it was excellent too...

    The huckleberry bread pudding is worth a trip alone. But the breakfasts are also fantastic. I had the Benedict with brisket and pulled pork, plus green chilies - so good!

    Interior

    There is a decent sized parking lot for the restaurant or street parking options as well. We were able to get a table right away. The waitress Kayla) was friendly and took our order in the small written script I have seen. She was also efficient. The interior is open but has the diner feel. The food was good. I liked the hollandaise sauce and would try the eggs Benedict in the future. My hashborwns were crunch and the gluten free toast was decent. My dad enjoyed his burger. The portion size is good, I don't think you will leave hungry. The one thing to call out is the 4% credit card fee (will be removed if you use cash). It isn't posted and we didn't see it on the bill it was added in assuming a credit card would be used.

    Great vibe- shop on the other side of the restaurant. Don't leave without buying an $8 colorful souvenir Sykes mug!!!!
    Holly T.

    What a fun local place to eat! We are out of town visitors who enjoyed looking around the shop while we waited just a few minutes to be seated for breakfast. Best price I've seen for a souvenir coffee mug !!! Just $8 and it comes in many colors. All four of us loved our meals- they were large and filling. The omelets and hash browns were delicious. It's obvious that the locals love eating here and we like to find places like this when traveling. Make a point to come here!! Loved the vibe here, especially the friendliness of the manager and staff. We will return if ever back this way!

    Wow what an amazing place! We sat in Hunters section and she was awesome. This was the best dining experience I've had in awhile! We will definitely be back! I highly recommend checking this place

    Service was great. Breakfast not so much! Over easy eggs were watery, tasteless sausage, and hashbrowns were tasteless. Won't go back.

We came here twice while I was visiting, love the atmosphere and food. Service though was not the greatest, we seemed to get attention at first but then eventually it became what I call "I just want to give you money". Server stopped coming by both times (different females) and just made the experience drag. Food was great! We split the bison burger and pizza the first time then opted into a salad the second time, love they have an option to add small or large chicken to salads and the prices are VERY reasonable for the add on.

There is only scrambled of hard cooked egg. ***No yolky eggs*** and no pancakes. We didn't realize coming in. And when we got the cheesy scrambler, the eggs were VERY "wet". Now I don't want to start any rumor but they were very similar to how hotel breakfasts boil bags of prepackaged scrambled eggs then chop it up and serve it. Point being, unsure if they were fresh. I'm pregnant so I was skeptical at first to eat since they were so wet and runny. My husbands chicken fried steak was square. Another indication he thought it was prepackaged frozen. Both came with size of potato's and they were great! Crunchy on outside and soft on inside My toddler got the French toast sticks though and those were so yummy. They gave him crayons and a coloring paper which was nice! High chairs are available. My husband just assumed it all was reheated from the freezer isle. But I'm less difficult to impress, especially for breakfast, and usually he is too just something felt off here. And if the runny eggs didn't make me question than I probably would've never noticed anything. The woman working was so sweet and attentive. Old-school diner feel. It is self seating and you order at the counter. There was only one other couple there with us, not busy at all. Went on a Monday morning.
