The food was decent, what I expected from a 24-hour dine-in restaurant, but I felt rushed. Once seated, the server gave me a menu, then not even 30 seconds later, came back and asked if I was ready to order, then continued to come up to my table every couple of minutes to ask how I was doing. When I finished one plate (I had 3), she came up and said, do you need a box...nvmd, I see your still eating, here's your check when you're done." She was really nice, but I don't know why she would have been rushing to get me to pay and leave. Food was also a bit expensive, but that's expected in Fairbanks.

I liked this restaurant. The hostess was very friendly, but then the servers were a little surly. But the food came out quickly and it was delicious. The servers were quick and professional and when I expressed pleasure at the quick and delicious food, they warmed up. The restaurant, restrooms and outdoor were all clean. Overall good food, good service, good value. Thanks!

It is what you expect it to be. Good pancakes good sausage, Nice hot coffee. Excellent service. Room for improvement however would recommend

The place looked real homey and the staff were nice. They had a big selection of entrees to choose from and it all looked real good. But the next day, all 3 of us were sick after eating dinner there the night before. One had seafood, one had the country fried steak and I had the liver and onions. The sides were more limited and they were not big on substitutions. The food didn't taste bad but it was not the best I'd ever had by any means. The prices seemed a bit high for the quality of the food. They were not very busy so I guess I missed my sign. I would not eat here again.

Looking for a sit down restaurant, we took the suggestion of giving this place a try. The restaurant was clean and the staff we interacted with were extremely nice. We had a party of 6 , 4 of us had burgers, 1 a hot dog and the other the meatloaf. The person who tried the meatloaf said it was what we from the south consider “Salisbury Steak”. The cheeseburgers and fries were quite good. No review beyond “yummy” for the hot dog as that was the 4 yr old review.No pics as we were hungry, so we dug in when the food arrived.

It's open early and has good food. They, like everyone else is short staffed.

My friend took me to a late dinner. We were given a seat quickly. It was a little late. My friend asked the waitress if she can possibly please wipe down table we were seated to was dirty. She walked away under her breath mad said not nice choice words. She went to her work station and threw things down. I did not say anything neither did my friend, we were shocked and just wanted a late dinner. It was cold and we couldn’t figure out why, but their back door was open. Which made it cold and uncomfortable to sit and eat. So we asked to take out order. I was disappointed in the service. I know the food is good, I ordered the calzone without cheese and it was great, fresh and I liked it. I hate giving bad reviews and calling out this behavior. I know the owner is so nice. So this was not what I expected.

Visited here twice. First visit we ordered grilled cheese sandwiches and coconut pie. Sandwiches were slightly burned but the pie was good. Service was good. Second visit not nearly as good. We ordered cheese sticks, waffle, ice cream and apple pie. Service was terrible. Asked for lemon for the tea four times, took an hour to get our food. The waffle tasted like eggo waffles, the cheese sticks were cold, apple pie was cold. They locked the front door before we were finished so they sent us our the back door. Weird. If there had been another option so late at night, we would have left. Won’t go back!

We shared a medium pizza which was very good and was large enough that the two of us only ate half. There was limited staff but they worked very hard to keep up with the busy dining room. We will return another evening.

We ordered the short stack of pancakes, a bacon cheeseburger with fries, their soup of the day (chicken soup with rice), mozzarella sticks and fish & chips. Food came out so good, it’s exactly what I wanted. We’ve experienced good customer service here, thank you always.
