    French Toast
    J S.

    We went to try this place for the first time. We had breakfast. All of the food was good BESIDES the pancake, it was very gummy and a tough chew. The restaurant was helpful in remediation and brought out delicious French Toast to replace it with. Service was friendly, but a little slow. Overall we'd come back. Place appeared fresh and clean. Give them a try!

    I have eaten here several times and each one was great. Food is fresh and well seasoned. The servers are very friendly & attentive. My most recent visit we had the sausage lentil soup, best I've ever eaten. I also enjoyed a perfectly cooked Patty Melt. So if you're looking for a good home style meal, look no further. Better plan ahead it's always full!

    So this really isn't enough to warrant a very through review but I'll update once I've had a "real" meal here. I was craving a cinnamon roll. So I hit the lunch rush and not much seating was available so I got the awkward open table right near the entrance in the middle of the walking zone. No biggie since it was just myself, I just felt awkward and "on display". I ordered coffee and a cinnamon roll right off the bat. The waitress asked if I wanted it warmed and with butter so I was excited it was going to be good! It did take a while to get my coffee as I waited, but understandable as it looked like she was juggling several tables. I was pleasantly surprised and appreciative that they have raw sugar and real creamer! I saw the waitress stroll over to the podium near the door that held 2 plastic wrapped cinnamon rolls and grab one. "It shouldn't be long now!" I was thinking. Plates of food came and went as I patiently waited thinking of how busy that kitchen must be. About 15 minutes later, I see the waitress go grab the other roll. I'm thinking it got lost in the shuffle because she was out with it pretty quickly after that and I did not witness another being served. The coffee was good and so was the roll but it was a bit dry and more bread like than I expected. I was thankful for the butter. Service was over all friendly and you can tell there are already regulars. Again, I will return another day, maybe not during a rush, and get some "real" food.

    GOOD SERVICE GREAT FOOD We went to cafe 95 in its new location in ponderay. Right off we noticed better parking, paved lot and a shaded outdoor patio seating. Even handicapped parking! Then the smells of coffee and bacon that were coming while we waited were so inviting. We sat down with a party of 10 and got drinks right away while we had a minute to look over the menu. We orderd 2 lumberjacks, 2 haystacks, a ham and cheese omelette, a chorizo burrito, chocolate chip pancakes, regular pancakes, scrambled eggs, yummy hashbrowns, hot chocolate, coffee,chocolate milk, and soda. We were visiting from out of town and it started our day off right. Our server was awesome , he refi)led our drinks pronto and gave is extra napkins, hot sauce and ketchup always making sure we had everything we needed.

    Excellent food and reasonably priced. However, the atmosphere was loud and reverberating off the concrete floors and bare walls.

    I came to Idaho for the first time ever to go snowboarding. After my day was done, I was starving…read morebut wanted to eat closer to my hotel. Sweet Lou's was actually down the street and it had some foods that sounded really good. I was seated immediately and my waiter Elijah got my drink order. I asked him what he recommended and he mentioned the Tailgate Eggrolls and a burger. But I was really craving a steak and he said they had a special on prime rib. I'm a huge steak lover, especially prime ribs so I opted for that with the Tailgate Eggrolls. I suppose I was hungrier than I thought after a long day and I ate everything. The 5 Tailgate Eggrolls, a Caesar Salad (not pictured), the prime rib, and a cup of Vegetable Beef soup. The eggrolls were filled with cream cheese, jalapeños, cheese and served with a jalapeño pepper jelly. If you love cream cheese, this appetizer for you. I like crab rangoon, I like jalapeño poppers, and now I like these egg rolls. The Caesar salad was great. Fresh romaine, crunchy seasoned croutons, shredded Parmesan cheese, and fresh cracked pepper. The star of the show was the prime rib. I've had many prime ribs, rib roasts, beef roasts in my life big I've never had one smoked, which was a detail I missed when Elijah was telling me about it. Let me tell you, the smoke flavor was infused with the meat and the seasoning on the prime rib was superb. The addition of BOTH horseradish and aus jus is a nice touch. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Last but not least, the vegetable beef soup was chock full of celery, potatoes, and huge chunks of beef. Hearty and delicious indeed. If you're living here, then I'm jealous Sweet Lou's is here for you. If your visiting, pay Sweet Lou's a visit. Elijah is a fantastic server!

I was able to snag a bite of both and they were both delicious. The turkey bacon club had a great sauce that gave it moisture, and the bread was still nice and soft. As for the tomato bisque, it was delicious! It was perfectly balanced and had a great texture. As for my potato, it wasn't as successful. It was swimming in butter and not in a good way. There was butter ladled on the plate, which would have been fine by itself but it seemed like my potatoes inside was dunked in butter as well. It was just too much. As for the cheese, it never melted and there was not enough of it. It seemed as though the cheese came out of the bag which normally has a stabilizer that prevents it from melting. That may be the case here or it just never got hot enough. Next time I will get the sandwich and soup combo. What was interesting about this resturant is you order at the counter and pay before you receive your food. What I loved was it was self-serve water. You had a choice between lemon water, cucumber water, or regular water. As for the restaurant, it was very clean and we sat outside on the back deck. The water was a little low but still a beautiful view.
