We were seated and presented with two menus. Both menus titled holiday menu. Consisting of about 4 or 5 items for breakfast for lunch and 4 to 5 items for dinner. After about a 5-minute wait the waitress came and advised us that the other menu isn’t available.
We ordered the chicken strips and fries which was supposed to come with coleslaw. I ordered the turkey dinner after asking if it is from a turkey. I.e. not processed the waitress advised me that they have a turkey in the kitchen and that’s where the meat comes from. So I took a chance and ordered it about 20 minutes or so later the food arrived at our table the chicken strips were okay the batter looked overcooked, the chicken inside the batter was ok.
The turkey dinner on the other hand was not good at all. The turkey meat was not slice from the turkey in the kitchen as I had been advised. Instead it was three slices of processed meat. The vegetables looked good, unfortunately they were cold! The stuffing and the 2 ice cream scoop sized mashed potatoes were lukewarm! I told the waitress I didn’t want it, she took it away.
When asked for the coleslaw for the chicken strips the waitress advised oh we don’t have any. This was replaced with a salad, play welcomed trade! The salad had Caesar dressing, for future customers less could be considered more as this salad have been drenched in this salad dressing.
Sadly, on a day that everything else was closed, this was our only alternative. Sharing that one plate of food, left us both hungry, we returned to our hotel!
Update, several hours later, we believe the food has given us ‘sick’ nauseating feeling in our stomachs

I wanted to support Shari’s Cafe and Pies, especially knowing the chain is struggling, but this visit was so poorly managed that it’s simply not worth spending money (or time) here.
There were a couple of small positives: the steamed broccoli was good and tasted properly buttered. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The coleslaw was rancid. I was offered a replacement, but after tasting spoiled food, I didn’t want to risk it and asked for mashed potatoes instead – which were extremely bland. The lemon grilled chicken had no lemon flavour at all (just a wedge on top) and the portion was shockingly small – smaller than a burger patty at Boomers – especially insulting for a $17 plate. The bread roll was missing entirely and had to be asked for.
They were also out of a surprising number of items for this early in the week: mac and cheese, ice cream, and most pies (including marionberry). The pie case was nearly empty, as was the restaurant. I did try the cherry pie, but the crust was very dry and difficult to chew.
Service was inconsistent. The male server was courteous and professional, but the female server was flippant and unprofessional – openly saying she “does nothing but chat up her friends when it’s this slow”. Meanwhile, the restaurant itself felt neglected: a sink was broken and leaking, loud heavy-metal music was blasting from the kitchen, and the bathroom was not clean at all.
What bothered me most was the Wi-Fi situation. I called ahead to confirm free Wi-Fi because I needed to work. When I arrived, the Wi-Fi prompted me to pay by the hour, and the only “free” network didn’t work at all. To make matters worse, I tried checking the menu on their website beforehand and the menu wouldn’t load at all, which tracks with how disorganized everything felt.
I regularly go to Denny’s and spend under $11 for reliable free Wi-Fi, a hearty meal, dessert, and consistent service. Here, I spent $30 (before tip) for a tiny portion, poor service, poor maintenance, poor inventory management, and paid Wi-Fi.
I genuinely wanted to support Shari’s, but this location is terribly run from top to bottom. Even at one-third of the price, the quality and quantity wouldn’t be worth it. Sadly, there isn’t a single reason to come back.

The restaurant seemed short-staffed, but it was clear the two people working were really trying their best. The main reasons this place earns a 4-star rating are the pie and the biscuits and gravy. This is exactly how biscuits and gravy are supposed to taste. A lot of fancier restaurants try to elevate the dish by adding extra ingredients that simply don’t belong, but this place keeps it classic and does it right. The pie is also incredible.
If you’re prioritizing spotless cleanliness, a fancy brunch atmosphere, or very prompt service, this probably isn’t the place for you. It’s a very standard American breakfast spot. That said, it’s hard not to stop by because the pie and biscuits and gravy are just that good.

Ordered a couple slices of pecan pie for Thanksgiving. I was not impressed at all. They used to be so much better. I will think twice about ordering from them again. I will post a picture so everyone can see what I was met with when I opened the box.

Ordered prime rib to go on Christmas. Asked for med rare . Got something that was between shoe leather and vinyl flooring. Called multiple times after I got home and no one answered the phone or returned my voimail.

Comfortable simple place with breakfast, lunch, and dinner depending on what suits your need. My friends and I were in the area for brunch, and this restaurant certainly was the place to be.
Large variety of selection from sweet to savory on many items and by the end of the meal it was a lovely choice to save some space for a piece of pie.

Went in for dinner at around 6pm. There were two other tables seated. That should have been a sign for us to go somewhere else, but you live and you learn.
The waitress seemed nice at first, but then passive aggressively fat shamed us by laughing at what we ordered. Burger was dry, fries were limp, salad was lacking in toppings. The side of Mac and cheese we ordered didn’t even come out. I ordered a slice of pie to go and she didn’t even give us a full slice. Paid way too much for subpar food and crappy service. Do your self a favor and go somewhere else!

Open 24 hours, a typical American style cafe, originated from Oregon. Staff are very accommodating & welcoming. You get a warm greeting from the staff. Menu is extensive with lots of breakfast item, they have their specials too. Apparently they are known for their pie but we didn’t try them.
I ordered one of the special, honey style pork chop with eggs & hash browns, a breakfast sampler plate, sirloin steak & eggs. Hash browns were cooked well with crisp top. Eggs & steak are done right according to your preference. Pancakes were fluffy & they have sugar free syrup if you asked. Their French toast were very good, they used Texas style bread, very well done. All in all a very enjoyable meal with friendly staff.

Terrible experience. My sister and I had lunch here. The minute we walked in she said “wow that cook should really have a beard net on”. When ordering our food I mentioned that I was vegetarian and asked for accommodations to my food because of this, and the server just said “no we don’t do that, that’s not how it’s made”. Then after we ordered I found a long brown, curly hair in my pickle fries. Not only this but the server was unfriendly and the atmosphere just felt unclean. The table didn’t even look like it was wiped down as it had coffee stains and crumbs.

Firstly as you enter the restaurant it smells so bad. Then there menu is so short. We ordered pasta, lemon chicken and kids menu. The food was awful. The pasta had no sauce and seemed like they served boiled pasta with no sauce and the bread served along with it tasted like burnt butter. The chicken was a small piece and was so overcooked that you really had to chew with no taste. It was really waste of money.
