    Pancake
    Ted R.

    So didn't want to leave a bad review here but it is what it is. Went here around noon and place was packed. Read all the great reviews and thought this will be good. Huge disappointment. I had two eggs over easy with bacon, hash browns and wheat toast. Well, eggs were so done not even a little runny with yolks. Bacon rubberish and under cooked. Haven't had bacon this bad since serving in the Army. Toast not hardly toasted. Hash browns okay. Wife had a single pancake and added strawberries and whip cream. Strawberries looked like canned cherries and server actually brought out whip cream and made a happy face on pancake. Super slow service. Burgers did not look bad but not going to be disappointed again.

    It's classic breakfast food done, right. The biscuits are fresh, and the gravy has big chunks of sausage in it. The eggs Benny has lots of ham and the hollandaise is perfect. The waitress was so nice. The food came out hot and fast. The eggs were perfectly cooked. It was not too busy for a weekend morning. Plenty of parking. It was a smallish bathroom, but it was clean. Very glad we stopped in as we were passing through town.

    The Garage Cafe in Notus may be off the beaten path, but it's right on track for being one of my new favorite "hole in the wall diners! Roomy booths, retro feel, waitress brought us a big stack of napkins without asking which was great since we came with kids! The service was phenomenal. Their burgers are the clear stand out and the buns are awesome. The burgers kind of reminded me of the California chain Fuddruckers in a good way. The onion rings were the only "eh" thing- I liked the thick piece of onion in the middle but the breading wasn't crispy enough and just a little too salty. The house made fruit of the forest pie (apple and berry) was good, I was surprised it has cinnamon sugar crust and it hit the spot at the end of the meal. I actually chose the burger, fries, and pie which is a menu item with all items for one price, cheaper than getting them individually! I love a deal! My kids thoroughly enjoyed their little hamburger and grilled cheese, and the waitress thoughtfully brought out their food first- which was great because they were hungry! Definitely worth trying, I love a good hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon and this place fit the bill!

    Super friendly, cute local cafe. The pancakes were excellent; large and fluffy and so good! Loved the "car names" on the menu. My husband enjoyed The Lugnut and we both thought our omelet was yummy with somewell cooked veggies. Perusing the decor was a fun way to pass the quick time while we waited for our order. It was a lovely start to our Sunday and we are already planning to return for another warm welcome and some pie!

    Stopped into the garage café what a place got a stack of flapjacks and side of sausage. Marcy is a heck of a server I remember her from McCall Id. She brings a smile wherever she goes there.

    I love this place, the service is great, friendly and the fried green beans are out of this world! When I go there, I always drink their on tap huckleberry cider it's yummy!

    The empty baskets say it all! And the DELIGHTFUL pie he had was exactly what you need. Great prices! Great food

    Take the drive to Notus. This little dinner was so worth it. The service was spot on. Kind, polite & so much fun. They make u feel so welcome. The food was out of the world. Burger was fresh ground fries were so crisp and the dipping sauce was tangy and not bottled. Now the fried mushrooms if they only sold these i would drive 100 miles for them! Their onion rings were the resl deal and when they say homemade they mean it! That brings us to pie.. MADE FRESH and it shows We had banana cream pie....and grabbed a slice of keylime to go... BY FAR the lighlight of our weekend! We will be back OFTEN & we will tell everyone we know!

    Bacon burger!

Bittercreek provided me with just what I needed today. Warm and inviting service and a terrific selection of food and beverages for me to enjoy. Dined alone at the bar and everyone that I came into contact with did what I expect. Timely greet and informative service personnel. Hats off to the whole team. Was talked into a Chardonnay from the Willamette Valley and it was spectacular. I usually stick to Willamette Valley reds but went for it after a tiny taste. It's what I needed but didn't know it until it was offered. Too many times I stick to my wheelhouse and don't stray but was coerced by someone who I assumed was the inhouse shotcaller. I had two glasses and it went well with the Bowl of Corn Chowder I was told about. Served hot and with some semi crusty sourdough that hit the spot. Finished every spoonful and it brought me back to my time in New England. The soup was done right for sure. Noone trying too hard which is an issue when trying to recreate a coastal favorite while land locked in the mountain state of Idaho. Right before I had.my second glass of Chardonnay, I asked "the front of the house shot caller" about the selection of Rums and was offered a taste of one that could have been a contender for my follow up beverage. No mixer needed. Would have made a great sipper, as most good rums can be but I elected for the second glass of Chardonnay. Glad that I did. Was feeling a bit buzzed and full from my meal and had to exit stage left before trying a dessert. I'm sure it would have been epic but I'm thin for a reason and don't overindulge. Thank you Bittercreek! My visit with you all made me wonder why I hadn't been in since 2006 or 2007. I'll, certainly, be visitong more often and will bring others with. You've got a fan in me!

I also got the brisket Reuben. The sauerkraut had little bits of jalapeño. The brisket was super tender. Nom Nom Nom! This is such a cool spot.

The service is and always has been. But the place is looking a little rough. A few guys, a few ladders and a few hours will make a lot of difference.

The burger was juicy, flavorful, the bacon was perfectly crispy, Smokey and the white cheddar cheese was the perfect compliment! Now let's talk about the bun, I typically don't eat burger buns but this one was the exception to the rule. It was homemade obviously, buttery, light, and toasted to perfection. I ate both of them! Hahahaha! I felt so dirty typing that the French fries were crispy, just the right amount of salty and fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside. My guest agrees with everything in this review. The house salad was fresh, the vinaigrette was homemade and delicious and the tortilla soup was even great! The ambience was a place you could have a business meeting or take your significant other on a date night. There is literally something for everyone on their crave-able menu ( see what I did there?) Our server who was the bartender kept our glasses full and made sure he checked on us often. I found my new burger spot in Eagle, Idaho?!?! Five stars.
