    Burger plates!
    David Y.

    Doesn't look like much on the outside but it more than makes up for it on the inside. Try the hatch chili burger with potato salad! The proprietors were also super nice giving us good advice about traveling in the area and being safe.

    Ok, It's true this place in the middle of the country doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't judge this book by it's cover. 8 of us stopped in on motorcycles on the way to Eagle Lake and were pleasantly surprised. The food is really great. Not only was the burger good, but the bun was so good. It held together and with the final bite I had one perfect bite left of bun and burger. The fries were also awesome! Now how about that hand dipped milkshake? Heavenly!

    Chili burger with green beens.

    Great little stop for lunch. Just passing through but what great food and milkshakes. Had the chili burger and fried green beens with a thin mint shake. Just a nice local diner.

    BLT & Onion Rings - The best you'll find anywhere!!

    Can I give a place more than five stars???? If I could, it would be The Old Mill Grill!!! We were on a detour because of the Dixie fire, and out of nowhere, the solution to my hunger and craving for a milkshake. Thank the heavens above for the absolute best BLT I have ever had and the Oreo shake was the perfect topper!

    Breakfast Sandwich

    Was looking for a place to eat on our way to visit the Lava Beds and came across this wonderful gem! The owner, unfortunately didn't catch her name, was very nice and provided us with great information about local events occurring and iconic places to visit while in the National Parks. We stopped in for an early breakfast, and she had just made fresh donuts! I tried their breakfast sandwich and thought it was delicious. They also have regular breakfast options like eggs, bacon and potato. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite, come by here! They also have wifi =)

    This is the kind of place where you eat past the point of being full because you don't want it to end. A true gem!

    Tiny town but good food, good shakes, good service, good size, but subtracting a star for the amount of non recyclable styrofoam.

    Auction Yard Cafe - Garbage burger.... Burger that had EVERYTHING

    Breakfast choices in Alturas are few. I mean a hearty, half day full breakfast good for a four hour…read moredrive. Several coffee and pastry spots. I looked over the enticing offers at Hotel Niles. I recommend it to coffee and pastry people every where I have spent some time around auction yards. Yelp writers recommend the cafe. So we went. Present owners,mother and daughter have run the place 45 years. It is a community center. 45 years ago I had moved from temporary wildland firefighting to a permanent job. This community Center with meals has been through a lot in that time. Each of us had an coffee, an egg, slice of french toast without powdered sugar, ham cut from a real ham, not the wide variety of ham products offered by food service suppliers. Restroom is gender-neutral. Just off the dining room. Lots of community support photos on the walls and the Alturas famous Hereford spices holders on each table. We enjoyed ourselves, appreciate the kindness and service of valley locals. Thank you. We will eat here again on our return.

    Stopped at this place for some grubbin before heading back to Susanville. Asked what was good from…read morethe waitress and she stated the burgers and explained you can make your own... so that's what I did I said I'd take one with everything. She explained that there was an auction of cattle going on next door and that normally it's next weekend but due to the holiday they were having it today so that is why the place smelt of cattle... I just thought we were getting some really really fresh meat... lol Pattie's we're not frozen or pre formed, they were hand formed and were dripping In deliciousness. Inside the lil place was homey, people seemed to all be very friendly and everyone seemed to know one another. Great place and fast service.
