    Caribbean Breakfast Hash Special
    Annissa L.

    Amazing little cafe in Welch!! We pass through once per year and this is definitely going to be an annual stop! The menu had very unique local ingredients and it was hard to choose just one item! Had many gluten-free and gluten friendly options. The owner greeted us and was very prompt and took great care of everyone in the cafe. Highly recommend.

    Such good food and great service. Food takes a while, but it is totally worth it They have outdoor and indoor seating and have ice cream as desert. So close to the bike trail and the canoe place.

    I've driven by this place several times on our way to go skiing. So glad we stopped today! The brunch special (chilaquiles w/ chorizo) was fantastic. My wife had the breakfast tacos (w/ blue corn tortillas, naturally) & they were also extremely tasty. The entire menu looked good. Can't wait to come here again!

    I knew their tasty ice cream, but it be good menu is new to me. Nice old building , easy to park, timely service, waitress did good job explaining many sandwiches or foods are made from scratch: she was right. Everything was tasty and prices within normal limits. Many customers there were returning ones!!! Good food indeed.

    We loved this place right off the bike trail! We both ordered awesome sandwiches and service was friendly. We sat on their cute little patio. Can't wait to visit again!

    The Bleu Dog Cafe has great food, great service, and a cool setting! I had the Jenny Cakes, huge, thick pancakes with a mixed berry compote & fresh whipped cream topping. It came with a side cup of fake maple syrup (my only complaint). My boyfriend had eggs, bacon, & breakfast potatoes. He said it was fast....I stole some of the bacon...very yummy! The location is in an OLD bank, very fun! It is a small location, but we were there around 9 a.m. on a dreary, fall Saturday morning. I think there were only 2 other occupied tables. More people came in as we were there. Amanda, our server, was very nice and made sure we had plenty of coffee! We will absolutely go back!!!

    A cute little place tucked away into no-man's-land. Today I had the burger. It was phenomenal. The menu is very small, but the food is amazingly good. And if you love scenic roadways, this is the place to be

    My husband and I enjoyed a great Italian salad and too much delicious ice cream, sitting on the sunny patio in the back. The small, but varied, menu probably changes frequently and we plan to return.

    Cheeseburger, fries with garlic aioli, cous cous salad.

    THE FOOD!!!!! I…read moreordered through Door Dash to my hotel room so I don't have information about the location... and technically I don't have information about the staff. But I can tell you that whoever determined the menu and keeps everyone on track, and probably everyone at the restaurant put a little love into the place and a lot of love into their coworkers. You CAN taste the difference when people are happy. We went with an order of 3 large shrimp for each of us, and a half chicken and ribs with coleslaw and sweet potatoe fries. The shrimp were incredible! The size! The juiciness, the ability to get every bit of meat out of the tail! Everything about these was everything that I wanted. I couldn't believe that one serving of just 3 was so filling! (I think you would need 6 Red Lobster butterfly shrimp to equal the size of one but you cannot compare the taste as these are peel & eat.) Then I opened the protein box and realized that I had made the embarrassing mistake of not ordering a barbecue sauce. Humph. I think that should not have been such an easy mistake to make on their site. Thankfully, both of us like grilled food without dripping sauces and ... OMG ... We were not disappointed in the food! The ribs were like eating a meat candy. They were such a joy to hold the bone and just lightly pull the tender sweet meat off. There was barely any fat. The spice rub brought out the juices from deep inside the meat but only let them sit on the meat and inside the skin. The chicken was amazing! The dark meat practically ran juices down the front of our shirts as we bit into it, the same way that sweet corn does. The white meat was so juicy it was like the typical dark meat that most people achieve on Thanksgiving. Now, the coleslaw was one of the blandest I've tasted but I figured if you do have one of the spicier barbecue sauces you might be using it as a foil. Helping you to calm your mouth's fire down with the dressing. Of course, fries don't travel well and sweet potatoe are no different. But they were absolutely everything I expected. They were delicious!! I am having surgery in April and trying to see how to ship this food to me after that now. ;)

However, in execution I was a bit disappointed. I came with a group of 6, and I ordered the southwest sandwich with brisket. The disappointing thing about seeing the pass with the food in it, is that you can see your food sit. I saw my friends sandwich sitting for a good 10 minutes. It was just a bit slow. The brisket was bland, and was overpowered by the spicy aioli. They also forgot to ring up our to go order which was a bummer. The hotel breakfast across the street had a better smoked meat.

I consider myself a "obsessed foodie " so I was pleased when Cory the chef came out of the kitchen and walked around the dining room. We were having a cocktail at the bar so we waved him over to ask what he recommended . I took his advice and ordered the scallops. They were cooked perfectly. Very tender and paired really well with the roasted corn and bacon. The whipped feta was very cold, which was interesting, but the flavor was tangy so it offset the richness of the bacon and scallops. The beef tenderloin was delicious cooked perfect medium rare. The broccolini was a little tough and the blue cheese sauce could have been a little thicker. It was kind of runny. I will be back to try more items on the menu. Excited the restaurant is open again.

    Went to this restaurant for the first time on Mother's Day this year. (Crazy choice to go to a…read morebreakfast diner on the busiest day of the year, but we were so impressed.) There was a 45-minute wait for a table for two but we snagged a couple spots at the bar and sat down right away. The bartender/waitress was a pure delight. Despite how crazy busy it was, she was pleasant and helpful and efficient. (I'm sorry I can't remember her name.) And they were offering free mimosas to all the ladies which was a nice bonus. Hubby and I both ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of hashbrowns. Everything was perfectly cooked and we were delighted with the crispy hash browns Strangely, we find crispy, perfectly cooked hashbrowns very rarely. And we have breakfast out fairly often. This restaurant nailed it! The prices are very reasonable, and the service was great. Highly recommend!

While I only had the Hangover Hash for years - absolutely perfect breakfast - I started trying other items off the menu. The Hot Mother Clucker and Three Little Pigs are phenomenal. But, the best of all and the best in the Twin Cities is the Biscuits & Gravy. Hanisch Bakery biscuits and the absolutely best and perfect sausage gravy easily beats every other B&G in the metro and dare I say it, in the entire country. Owen is the best server - great attitude, always happy to see you and gives the best recommendations!
