    This is my favorite greasy spoon and breakfast in town. Comfort food, fun atmosphere, and most of our servers have been great too. Portion sizes are more than sufficient for adults and leave me full with leftovers. I enjoy the Big Bopper Omelette with sourdough toast. My kids love the pancakes.

    I'm traveling for work. I try a variety of restaurants while on the road. This is a gem of a place in Minot. I had the Knoephla soup, cabbage rolls entree, and a cappuccino-oreo shake--all delicious. The cabbage rolls reminded me of the ones my grandmother used to make, the mashed potatoes were homemade, and the dinner roll was delicious! The soup was amazing--I had never had it before, but will order it again in the future if I see it in another restaurant. The shake was a bit thick, but was sweet and delicious! Miranda was our server and she was amazing! She is very positive and a sweet person. The diner was decorated for Halloween and looked so cute and festive! I absolutely recommend this place for everyone. Good food, good people, and good atmosphere.

    The food was GREAT, service was GREAT. A pattymelt with fries and a small order of onion rings should not be $28. I could go to a steakhouse for that kind of money. Love the food and the staff, but too pricey.
