    The Power Wagon

    It's classic breakfast food done, right. The biscuits are fresh, and the gravy has big chunks of sausage in it. The eggs Benny has lots of ham and the hollandaise is perfect. The waitress was so nice. The food came out hot and fast. The eggs were perfectly cooked. It was not too busy for a weekend morning. Plenty of parking. It was a smallish bathroom, but it was clean. Very glad we stopped in as we were passing through town.

    The Garage Cafe in Notus may be off the beaten path, but it's right on track for being one of my new favorite "hole in the wall diners! Roomy booths, retro feel, waitress brought us a big stack of napkins without asking which was great since we came with kids! The service was phenomenal. Their burgers are the clear stand out and the buns are awesome. The burgers kind of reminded me of the California chain Fuddruckers in a good way. The onion rings were the only "eh" thing- I liked the thick piece of onion in the middle but the breading wasn't crispy enough and just a little too salty. The house made fruit of the forest pie (apple and berry) was good, I was surprised it has cinnamon sugar crust and it hit the spot at the end of the meal. I actually chose the burger, fries, and pie which is a menu item with all items for one price, cheaper than getting them individually! I love a deal! My kids thoroughly enjoyed their little hamburger and grilled cheese, and the waitress thoughtfully brought out their food first- which was great because they were hungry! Definitely worth trying, I love a good hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon and this place fit the bill!

    Super friendly, cute local cafe. The pancakes were excellent; large and fluffy and so good! Loved the "car names" on the menu. My husband enjoyed The Lugnut and we both thought our omelet was yummy with somewell cooked veggies. Perusing the decor was a fun way to pass the quick time while we waited for our order. It was a lovely start to our Sunday and we are already planning to return for another warm welcome and some pie!

    Stopped into the garage café what a place got a stack of flapjacks and side of sausage. Marcy is a heck of a server I remember her from McCall Id. She brings a smile wherever she goes there.

    I love this place, the service is great, friendly and the fried green beans are out of this world! When I go there, I always drink their on tap huckleberry cider it's yummy!

    The empty baskets say it all! And the DELIGHTFUL pie he had was exactly what you need. Great prices! Great food

    Take the drive to Notus. This little dinner was so worth it. The service was spot on. Kind, polite & so much fun. They make u feel so welcome. The food was out of the world. Burger was fresh ground fries were so crisp and the dipping sauce was tangy and not bottled. Now the fried mushrooms if they only sold these i would drive 100 miles for them! Their onion rings were the resl deal and when they say homemade they mean it! That brings us to pie.. MADE FRESH and it shows We had banana cream pie....and grabbed a slice of keylime to go... BY FAR the lighlight of our weekend! We will be back OFTEN & we will tell everyone we know!

    Bacon burger!

We had our eye on one particular light, crisp option, but they were out for the night. Our server pointed us toward something comparable... I believe it was called Teddy Bearnd...it worked. Now, the food. My friend went for one of their signature burgers, which was seasoned simply so the beef really gets to shine. The only hiccup was that they were out of tomatoes, which is a non-negotiable topping for her, so keep that in mind if tomatoes are a must. I went a different route and ordered the beef focaccia. Uniquely layered ribeye and really good. We also shared a Greek salad that was simple but fresh and satisfying. And the french fries with their homemade ketchup? Don't skip em. Service was smooth and friendly from start to finish. No complaints.

I've been coming to Crave for a while now, this was probably my tenth plus visit and the food has consistently been really good. That's what keeps us coming back. Unfortunately, this last visit missed the mark. I made a reservation and was seated in the back room next to two private parties, rather than a booth or the main dining area. The room was loud and the spot was uncomfortable. And really, who wants to have dinner with their family wedged into a party room alongside two other parties? What really stung was watching a party who came in after us get seated in the party room and then moved to a different section, but when we asked to move, we were told it'd be a 20-30 minute wait. It's also a little odd to be awkwardly squeezed into a party room in the first place. That space should be for actual parties, not for packing in reservation guests to hit max capacity. Sometimes a short wait for the right table is worth far more than being seated immediately in an uncomfortable spot, I'd have happily waited. Here's the thing: between the data they're already collecting through Resy and a little plain common sense, this should be an easy fix. They can see who's a repeat guest, what reservations are booked, and how the floor is filling up. Use it, or at minimum, just pay attention to the room and seat people thoughtfully. It's not bad enough for one or two stars; the food and overall experience have earned more goodwill than that, and servers are always top notch. But better situational awareness and common send from their host staff would go a long way. A reservation should mean something, and a marketing tip, regulars notice this stuff. A big turn off after a stressful week, I probably won't be back. If looking for a flawless experience after a stressful week, I would find another place with a more competent host staff.
