Decided on this spot for a lunch stop on our road trip to Idaho from the reviews and it didn't disappoint. It's the epitome of an old diner. Super friendly staff, super fast cookin and tasty food. I ordered the pecan crepe with bacon caramel sauce combo with scrambled eggs and ham steak and my husband ordered the breakfast burger. The crepe was to die for, the only suggestion I have is the cream cheese inside would have been better warmed, but that bacon caramel made up for the cold cream! Yum! I suggest this spot for anyone looking for a tasty breaky or lunch while in Winnemucca. read more

Driving through town and saw this place. Stopped for breakfast and was impressed. Very good food along with good service. I can only imagine this place getting super busy. We stopped in on a Sunday around 1130am and it was busy but we did not have to wait for a table. I've been driving through here many times and I kick myself for not stopping by! Now it is worth the stop. It is not right off the highway, but well worth it. read more

The staff was friendly and efficient and the food -- I had a ranchero omelet that was one of the best omelets I have ever eaten. Light, fluffy, delicious.
