    A fun, eclectically decorated cafe with traditional breakfasts, good coffee, and great service.

    After staying at the wild goose lodge, we went up the street for breakfast.... French toast, eggs, and hashbrowns. Felt like I was having a home cooked meal by my mom:) nice service, quiet little place.

    Taste it before taking picture is my M.O.

    On our way through and found this on Yelp. Decided to give it a try. Waitress was friendly and suggested the chicken fried steak breakfast as one of their best things. Sorry, smelled so good when it was served that I tore into it before thinking of a picture for you all. Meat was good and the breading not overpowering. Gravy was delicious and perfect amount of pepper. Home fries were fresh and cooked extra crispy at my request. Eggs were not overcooked, good yolk flavor to add to gravy taste. Great "hole in the wall" find that will warrant a return trip to try their burgers. Comfort food in casual comfort that should leave you full and pleased!

    Good selection on the menu for a restaurant in a very small town.

    Polar Bear - Bacon Burger w/ Cheese

    Passing through Merrill recently, we decided to finally try out this little roadside eatery. The…read moremenu is pretty simple with several burger choices available. We chose the Bacon burger with fries to share. Both made hot and fresh, and though the bacon could have been a little crisper it was very tasty. The downside was the cost. I felt it was pretty steep for simple fair. Maybe it's the location and today's prices of ingredients? If you are passing through and want a quick bite this may be the place for you.

    We drove past Polar Bear on the way back up to Klamath Falls and decided to stop in to try a…read moreburger. I agree with the other reviewers who say that the employees at Polar Bear aren't very friendly or prompt but what matters more to me is the food. They do fry the burgers to order but the employees don't work particularly hard or fast. It took around 15 minutes with only one order ahead of us. Polar Bear has an indoor dining area, but it was locked, so only tables outside were available. Unfortunately it was quite chilly that day and it was raining off and on, necessitating us to eat in the car. Bacon Burger w/ Cheese ($11.75) - A pretty tall, but not particularly hefty burger. The meat itself is cooked through, not salted that heavily, and gives off a good beefy taste. It's grilled on the flat top, but only just enough to cook through, so there isn't too much developed char to create more flavor complexity. There's plenty of veggies included - tomato, onion and pickles on top, and what seems to be hand shredded lettuce on the bottom. The bacon is chewy and gives a salty kick - definitely real bacon rather than the microwavable kind that some places cheap out on. The burger includes some mayo, but they are pretty light with it. The cheese and veggies give more than enough moisture to not need copious amounts of mayo. There is a major issue with this sandwich - the bottom bun almost completely sogs up, becoming mushy and loaded with liquid. I believe this may be due to improperly spun lettuce after washing, allowing all the wash water to saturate the bun. That's not very pleasant to eat, although the top bun seems to be decently toasted. (3/5) The burger comes with fries that are unevenly sprinkled with seasoning salt. Some pieces are especially salty, while others are only lightly salted. The fries are on the floppier end, fully cooked with tender interiors, but not particularly crisp in any capacity. (3/5) Polar Bear is okay. It does in a pinch but I'm sure there are better burgers and fries to find elsewhere. Bathrooms - None available in the restaurant, but there are public restrooms right next door.
