They serve breakfast until 12 PM, which is perfect for a relaxed morning, and the pancakes are hands down the best I've ever had. What makes this place even more special is how family-friendly it is. Kids absolutely love it! There are chickens, ducks, turkeys, and chipmunks wandering around the property, creating such a fun and unique experience. For just 25¢, you can buy animal feed from the feeding stations and let the kids interact with the animals, it always becomes the highlight of our visit. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and wonderful memories every time. We can't wait to come back again next year!

Our waiter, Mitch, made sure we didn't want for anything the entire time. We started with the chips & dips. The smoked Gouda cheese dip and guac were memorable--the chips and salsa were not. The BLT with thick cut peppered bacon was scrumptious, but the chips were blegh. I had the beet and basil salad and all I can say is I was looking forward to the goat cheese but because the lettuce wasn't torn/cut enough, you tussled with it on top (and that was after hacking through the beets) while you eventually discovered they rubbed the goat cheese on the bottom of the plate like a dirty little secret. The music, booths/tables, and ambiance were great, so we'd probably give them another try.

You have to be careful if you are visiting Park Rapids, as this breakfast place is 'cash only'. The ambience was wonderful with all kinds of nostalgic memorabilia regarding the Great Northern Railway and its history. The breakfast itself was not something to write home about, and our server was so busy that she forgot my sister's orange juice, leaning towards a "understaffed" situation that was apparent. I plan to visit my sister in Park Rapids multiple times in the future, but do not plan to revisit this breakfast place.

After choosing our items, my husband did the ordering, and I picked a table. We ordered La Firenze and La Venezia. They only had half of La Firenze left, so I got a cup of soup - Wild Rice. They have "help yourself" water, so I went and they were out. The counter was super busy, so I waited. I went again, it was still out, so I asked for some. The lady was helpful, but sarcastic (I'm SUPER sarcastic, and I've found it doesn't work well in a service environment. I have to just be straightforward and nice.) La Venezia was SO GOOD!! La Firenze was good, but nothing compared to La Venezia-it's flavors kind of explode in your mouth. The wild rice soup was okay, it had lots of wild rice, which was good, but the flavor was a little dull. The extra seating area is really nice - has lots of light, well decorated. We enjoyed our time in there.
