Gayle and I enjoyed a hearty breakfast here this morning on this rainy Spirit Lake day. A friend…read morerecommended this place as the "real deal", and I probably would have driven on by with really recognizing the place if Jessica hadn't given this place such high marks. Javi's is attached to the VFW, and it appears that they, and maybe other service organizations (like the Kiwanis) meet here. The dining room is huge and big enough for a dance if the corner "stage" is used. Lots of locals (couples, friends, before shift workers, etc.). After a short bit of confusion about needed to be seated, we followed others' lead and sat right down at a table of our choice. Gayle chose a #3 (2 eggs, sausage, hash browns, and a huge pancake). Mine was a bacon and cheese omelet with hashbrowns, and an English muffin. Like our friend said, this was the real deal - hot, fresh, and tasty. The crispy hashbrowns were particularly excellent and I can't think of a better omelet that I've enjoyed in recent memory. I added an OJ and we both appreciated the coffee refills along the way. We couldn't really eat it all, but since breakfast items don't usually travel well in our experience, we left a fair amount the table. Javi's takes credit cards at a 3% surcharge and does not accept checks. We found the pricing to be reasonable and a great value of the quantity and taste of our choices. Service was down home friendly and efficient. We would gladly come back for breakfast or lunch.

We were so excited to pull up to this restaurant. The front of the building was decorated with the…read moreimages of the original owners which made it look so interesting. Stepping inside felt like a step back in time to about the "60's or 70's. So much of the original decor is included in the design of the restaurant including the old ice boxes and tin ceiling. The staff was very friendly, although our waiter seemed to have another task he was trying to finish so we didn't get much attention. We went for breakfast and ordered nothing special- straight off the menu. It took almost 45 minutes to get our food and the restaurant was not busy at all. That is what made the experience frustrating. Fortunately the food was really good. The sausage is homemade and delicious. The hash browns and eggs were cooked perfectly. They only take cash or checks so be prepared.

We came early on a Saturday morning for breakfast. Interesting facts: If you order eggs, bacon,…read moretoast, hash browns they all may arrive in a 5-minute window on separate plates. Between all the plates and saucers for coffee cups and creamer there was barely any room left on our table. Another tidbit: If you're under 50, you may very well be the youngest customer in the place. Great for those wanting to feel young again. The whole BUILDING was old and extremely dated, but appeared to be clean. Food was fine, nothing notable in my opinion but it did the job. The sausage appeared to be homemade, which is unusual. Pancakes were mediocre. Hash browns crispy on the outside. The servers seemed to enjoy sitting at the dining counter socializing, looking at their phones while not working- but they were friendly and I didn't think service was slow like others have written.

I have tried several items so far and nothing has disappointed me yet. It's also got a super cool, eclectic vibe. Diane's heart is all about ministry. She loves the customers and expresses a desire to pray for them as well. It's such a great experience. I highly recommend this place!
