The lettuce on our burgers was fresh, crisp, quality lettuce (some sort of spring mix perhaps?). I do wish they had thousand island sauce as I was not the biggest fan of their special sauce (it tasted -- and looked like-- tarter sauce and thousand island had a baby and then you mellowed it out with a ton of mayo). Fries were salty but fresh tasting (no old oil, yeah!). It was clean inside the restaurant, as was the restroom. The shake was phenomenal. The service was fast and the employees were kind to my kids despite being busy (as my kids requested to post their coloring pages with the others on the wall).

She recommended the taco salad with brisket added and the chipotle lime dressing was SO good and it was full of fresh vegetables. I LOVED it! My husband ordered a two meat platter and it was HUGE.

Unfortunately, those days are a distant memory. The recent drop in quality and effort is incredibly noticeable. So many of our favorite items have been completely taken off the menu, and the ribs we ordered tasted like they had just been reheated rather than freshly smoked. It honestly feels like the love has just left this place. We really miss what it used to be, but we won't be rushing back.

Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, packed.... Totally Worth the wait during those busy times, because the food is prepared with love and knowing the people of the community, want good food, which, I drive 20+ miles just to eat at this wonderful establishment. The Pies are Home Made, Apple, knocks it out of the park. 5 Star. Their French Onion soup is probably the best I've ever had. Love the Owners and their kids, and everyone who has a hand in running the business.... God Bless this Wonderful Restaurant

She passed away a few years ago, and our journeys had changed destinations. While traveling through Loyalton - Sierraville recently due to 80 being closed due to forest fires, we decided to stop for lunch. Still a neat family run cafe, with amazing service and food. The waitress was friendly and encouraged us to try new items! Unfortunately for 25 years, I've always had a cheeseburger and fries, so that was easy - but sooo much better than ever. A great nod to Grandma Vi. The fries are perfect too! My wife tried their Hot Pastrami! Chef's kiss! We now live east of Reno, but we'll be back often!

I was out this way doing some work when I stumbled across this eatery and figured I'd stop in for a drink. Well... that drink turned into ordering The Powerhouse breakfast - eggs, country potatoes, bacon, and buttered sourdough toast. EPIC meal!! Everything tasted fresh, hearty, and comforting. Those country potatoes especially took me straight back to mornings camping in the mountains - crispy, flavorful, and seriously good. The whole plate hit my tastebuds with a slap of goodness The restaurant itself was clean, quaint, and welcoming with that cozy, no-frills small-town feel that's getting harder to find. And the staff? Extremely warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming - exactly the kind of hospitality you hope to stumble across in a little mountain community. One of those unexpected roadside finds that makes you glad you stopped. If you're passing through Alta and need to rest, refuel, and get a damn good breakfast, pull over and give this joint a try. I'll definitely remember this place next time work brings me through!

We were excited to have dinner at Sierra Pines resort. However, we were disappointed, somewhat…read morepartially due to our server, not checking in with us until we were almost finished with our meal and she acknowledged that my salad was totally overdressed. I was in the process of taking lettuce pieces out of the dish and onto a plate, hoping to drain off some of the dressing, she said she was sorry and that was it. Oh, and then she did bring me a bigger plate than my bread plate to put more lettuce leaves on. Such a disappointing experience. She was very nice however when she acknowledge twice that the salad was way overdressed there was no correction on her end. My husband's pork chop was good and cooked perfectly. Not sure we will be returning in the future.
