I read the Google reviews on the way to the restaurant, and they’re so mixed, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
There was plenty of seating when we walked in. We sat in a booth and our server came immediately to get our drink orders.
There is a LOT to look at on the menu, so it took a few minutes to decide. I believe breakfast is served all day except no pancakes or sausage gravy after 2pm on weekends.
He got the hot beef sandwich which came with the salad bar. He loved the hot beef but said the gravy was a bit salty. He would definitely get it again, though. He said the salad bar was more prepared salads (pasta salad potato salad, etc ), than a normal salad bar. He said there were no croutons, no boiled eggs or ham. He didn’t see the bacon bits which are up by the plates, not on the salad bar, itself.
I chose the half-size wet (beef and bean) burrito. I chose well! The burrito looks a bit small (but I have a very small appetite right now), but it’s very filling. It comes with enough chips and toppings, it’s almost like getting an order of nachos with the 1/2 burrito. I brought almost 1/2 of it home. The burrito was also HOT when she brought it out, and stayed warm the entire time I was eating. I found it odd that the onions weren’t diced, they were in rings, but I just cut them up myself. I didn’t care for the salsa that came with it, but the burrito had plenty of sauce, so it wasn’t a big deal. This was an excellent burrito, especially for a small-town diner.
Our server seemed like maybe she was having a bad day, but still did her job well. (Drinks were refilled, we were checked on a couple times.)
The restaurant was a bit dirty. Sorry, I hate to say it, but it was. I did hear someone say they had been pretty busy all day, so maybe that was it, but it seemed like it’s more than that. Hopefully, it’s better next time.
I LOVE that they have a “lighter fare” menu. I wish there were a couple more options on there (like maybe some small burgers. Not everyone wants a burger the size of their head.), but it’s already light years ahead of other restaurants who don’t offer it at all. Note: the half-size burrito is also not listed in that section, it’s under “South of the Border”.
Overall, 10/10 will return. I felt the pricing was fair for what we got, the food and service were good, there’s a vast selection of food and it’s convenient on race nights.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon..was served this absolutely disgusting food. The bacon was old, hard, and cold. The hashbrowns were soaked in oil. So disgusting. What a let down. The ketchup smelled very old and like vinegar.

This place is an awesome place to stop for breakfast! especially after hunting or fishing!super clean and u feel right at home! The service here makes you feel like your part of the family. I’ve never regret coming here. I’m not sure on what the dinner is like but the breakfast is always good. They updated the booths and they look amazing and are super comfortable! This is just an awesome small town café ️

Came in and had the #3 breakfast. Had my eggs OE, American fries, links, and they had sourdough toast everything a person like me would want. Inside atmosphere was pretty nice and the waitress was nice also. Wish I didn’t like 45 mins south because I’d be here all the time.

Great little place, not to busy ever. ur coffee will always be full. the staff are fun and friendly. The staff and small-town setting of crystal is what really make this place shine. Food can only be so good. But a happy fun server… Priceless

Was about the only open business during my weekday morning visit to Crystal, and I’m sure glad it was. Had the “Heavenly Hash” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Good thing, too, as there was quite a bit of it

Beautiful place to visit I couldn’t live here cause I would be bored out of my mind! But being here the summer would be different I’m sure getting ready to leave back to AZ in the morning

Burrito special-out. Taco salad shell-out. Went with patty melt and olive burger. Burgers were pink to the edges. They had even cut the patty melt in half and could see the pink. Never asked how wanted cooked. Waitress did best to rectify. Was given 10% off bill and free drinks since management was not present. Bill still came to $20. 50% off bill would have been more accommodating to the disappointment in the undercooked food. Needless to say, we learned why there were no cars in the parking lot at 700 pm at night. Won’t be back and don’t recommend.

The service was timely and friendly. Our meals came out quickly and were hot, well prepared and looked appetizing on the plates.
