    2 Eggs, Hash Browns and Toast Breakfast
    Michael-Anthony T.

    This place is just good home cooking breakfast food. I can't really complain because I love breakfast food and it's actually really good. We ordered the Denver omelette and traditional 2 eggs, bacon, hash brown and toast. Was satisfying and left full. Our service was awesome. We were definitely attended to, despite how crazy busy it was in the this only little restaurant. Our server was awesome. We ordered a caramel roll to go and ate it later in the day, and oh my goodness was it the best one we had. Other restaurants throughout Bis Man sell Carmel rolls, but this place definitely took the cake. We ate it so fast, we forgot to share a pic. Overall, this is one of those places we definitely would stop by again when we are in the area.

    Adorable little place with fabulous breakfast! The caramel roll was delicious! I also had little piggies (pancakes and sausage) which were quite tasty. Portions are large! Very inexpensive. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was served fast! Great place for breakfast in Bismarck!

    This place is amazing... It's a must whenever I visit Bismarck... The caramel roll is amazing, service is phenomenal, coffee is great as well...

    This little place is a locally owned gem! It's small inside so expect a bit of a wait because it's always busy. It's cozy and clean. The food here is great, portions are generous and the price is perfect! We were visiting from California and couldn't believe the prices. Biscuits and gravy were fresh and flavorful. Chicken fried steak w/gravy was one of the best I've ever had. Veggie omelet is another great choice. The staff is really friendly and the service is fast. If you're lucky enough to be served by Shelby you will have a great experience. Wanda the owner was there helping things move along and it was nice to see her personal touch. Always stopping in when we are in town.

    A pretty decent place to stop for breakfast. Fair prices and food was really good. Funny, though I've never had brown gravy on CFS before but it was alright. Down side was the premade frozen biscuits. Big regret was that we didn't order a caramel roll.

    First sign that this is a great place for breakfast was that the large parking lot was full at 8am! I almost didn't go in because the place looks kind of small from the outside. I'm glad I checked it out anyhow because there was a couple of tables open (the place seats more than it looks). This is another great thank you to Yelp for finding this place for me. I saw the pictures of the Carmel Rolls and like a fly to a light bulb I was on my way to the Little Cottage! I ordered the said Carmel Roll and a Ham and Cheese Omelette. Oddly the roll came out first. Which, as it turns out, was the best way. If I would have eaten my omelette first I wouldn't have had enough room for the best Carmel Roll I ever ate! I was much happier leaving half an omelette and some toast as opposed to leaving half a Carmel roll! The Little Cottage is basically a slightly cuter version of many other local diner/restaurants. Very busy, with friendly and hard working waitress. They sling out a pretty good breakfast (lunch and diner too) and it seems the locals love the place. This was a great find in a world full of chain restaurants. Off the beaten path a bit, but worth the effort! And my god... the Carmel Rolls are great!!

    People that work here and people who eat here were so unbelievable nice. Only one old dude gave me the hard eye for wearing a mask upon entering. I hard eyed back. No sheep sounds from him like at Costco in Bismarck. The food here was better then home and just for a wee bit of money. The place was cleaner then my home as well. just Charming. ... Food tasty and way to much. Thank you Little cottage your in my heart and tummy

I'm sure this place is usually much busier, but I'm happy I lucked out. The staff were so friendly and attentive from the second you walk in, with such a warm welcome by the host. The restaurant felt cozy and still had plenty of diners despite the cold. I had the beet salad with goat cheese and pecans, and the bison braised short ribs. Both were excellent. I make a similar beet dish at home, so it was nice to have something simple, comforting, and genuinely delicious -- it felt like eating at home. The beef was incredibly tender and fell apart easily with just my fork. I also had the vanilla crème brûlée for dessert. It was pretty good, but it was cold, and I usually prefer it a little warm and smoother. Not quite the cozy dessert I was hoping for. That said, they had a great dessert selection, and I'm excited to come back and try something else.

I am thinking that maybe a fondant potato would pair nicely with the bison short ribs but all in all in was a very nice experience for our anniversary. Thank you!

It appears that the manager is a little too easy going and is more worried about being friends to those subordinate to her. Claiming she was short-staffed now why would anyone who's short-staffed allow so many people to take smoke breaks all at once ? 2 hours total still no food ! This visit was on Saturday May 9th 2026 around 6pm or so.Completely unacceptable. My daughter who lives in Bismarck and my granddaughter both advised me not to go to Red lobster but because the Red lobster we normally frequent Grand forks was closed a couple years back and I was in Bismarck I decided I would give me endless shrimp a go, Red lobster has much more to work on besides their past restructuring of the company And I don't care if I ever go back to Red lobster again ,one things for sure it won't be the one in Bismarck North Dakota ,I think not Cassie I don't have Facebook and besides I would never handle this that way I'm going to corporate I'm going to let them see your post to me as well you picked a very unprofessional way of handling this
