    Doesn't look like much on the outside but it more than makes up for it on the inside. Try the hatch chili burger with potato salad! The proprietors were also super nice giving us good advice about traveling in the area and being safe.

    Ok, It's true this place in the middle of the country doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't judge this book by it's cover. 8 of us stopped in on motorcycles on the way to Eagle Lake and were pleasantly surprised. The food is really great. Not only was the burger good, but the bun was so good. It held together and with the final bite I had one perfect bite left of bun and burger. The fries were also awesome! Now how about that hand dipped milkshake? Heavenly!

    Chili burger with green beens.

    Great little stop for lunch. Just passing through but what great food and milkshakes. Had the chili burger and fried green beens with a thin mint shake. Just a nice local diner.

    Breakfast Sandwich

    Was looking for a place to eat on our way to visit the Lava Beds and came across this wonderful gem! The owner, unfortunately didn't catch her name, was very nice and provided us with great information about local events occurring and iconic places to visit while in the National Parks. We stopped in for an early breakfast, and she had just made fresh donuts! I tried their breakfast sandwich and thought it was delicious. They also have regular breakfast options like eggs, bacon and potato. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite, come by here! They also have wifi =)

    Breakfast choices in Alturas are few. I mean a hearty, half day full breakfast good for a four hour…read moredrive. Several coffee and pastry spots. I looked over the enticing offers at Hotel Niles. I recommend it to coffee and pastry people every where I have spent some time around auction yards. Yelp writers recommend the cafe. So we went. Present owners,mother and daughter have run the place 45 years. It is a community center. 45 years ago I had moved from temporary wildland firefighting to a permanent job. This community Center with meals has been through a lot in that time. Each of us had an coffee, an egg, slice of french toast without powdered sugar, ham cut from a real ham, not the wide variety of ham products offered by food service suppliers. Restroom is gender-neutral. Just off the dining room. Lots of community support photos on the walls and the Alturas famous Hereford spices holders on each table. We enjoyed ourselves, appreciate the kindness and service of valley locals. Thank you. We will eat here again on our return.

    We went on a pretty busy day…read more However, the place had cleared out a lot while we were there. My omelette had egg shells in it,,too much sour cream which was just not ok, and the eggs hadn't been whisked (much?). The hills and whites were obviously not blended. Next, it wasn't very tasty. Smelled like seafood-- which wasn't in it. The mushrooms were old. Being a chef myself, I recognize old mushrooms, when they've been cooked... these probably should've been tossed. Hubby had the chicken fried steak. It was burned and slathered in gravy. Tbh, it was just ok. My ham steak and omelette were served 12 minutes apart. My husband's food was delivered 12 minutes before mine, with my ham steak. Bizarre timing from the kitchen. The ham steak was ok. But not from a bone in ham, as they described. Overall, meh. Lovely service. Nice girl. She kept apologizing, but really just needed more help with a focus on food quality. Took 25 minutes with a mostly empty restaurant to deliver our bill. But here's the kicker. No debit or credit cards. CASH ONLY establishment. Hmmm....
