Family Restaurants near Rochester, MN

“Friendly staff. Great portions at reasonable prices. FOOD was GREAT.“

“Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

The biggest downside was the wait time, which was over an hour. I’ve been here a few times and can say for sure the wait is usually always about 1 hour- 1.5 hours durning breakfast time. Unfortunately, the hostess experience was a bit frustrating. My name was crossed out and rewritten on the wait list, and several groups who arrived after us were seated first. It might be helpful for the restaurant to implement an electronic waitlist system to better keep track of guests and avoid these situations in the future.

Once we were seated, though, everything turned around. Our waitress was amazing—attentive, kind, helpful, and consistently checked in throughout our meal. Her excellent service, combined with the delicious food, absolutely made up for the long wait and earlier interaction at the front.

The food was phenomenal. The apple and strawberry Pannekoeken pancake was a 5/5, and I loved that the strawberry version came with sour cream mixed with brown sugar—it was such a delicious touch. The Dutch skillet was also a 5/5 and packed with flavor. The fresh-squeezed orange juice was really good as well. Portions were generous and perfect for sharing. If you’re dining solo, expect to have leftovers, which is always a bonus!

Overall I would recommend this place! Make sure you plan for a long wait, would not recommend if you’re looking for something quick.“
