This place is a gem! Everything possible is made from scratch. Mushrooms are foraged, and everything is fresh, fresh, and fresh. This means you will wait a bit longer for your meal, but it is totally worth it. We had county fried steak and the scramble. Perfect portions on the larger size and delicious! I love to try specialty coffees, so I had the toasted marshmallow pumpkin espresso, and it was PERFECT! First time here and will DEFINITELY be back!

Probably the best country fried steak I’ve ever had. Made from scratch and absolutely delicious. Eggs and hashbrowns were great too.
Service was good and friendly, although they did apologize in advance that they were short staffed. The wait ended up being not too long. The interior and upholstery of the restaurant was in pretty bad shape, but maybe some guests will think it adds to the charm.
All in all, great breakfast experience. Will definitely return next time we’re by Balsam Lake.

My wife and I took a little trip to Balsam Lake with the express purpose of dining at the Balsam Lake Cafe along with a little sightseeing. Not much to look at from outside and a little rustic on the inside, but that's part of its charm. Then there's the food. OMG! Freshness quality and friendly service. It deserves much higher than its 4.6 rating. We drove an hour and a half to eat there and will do it again.
Hands down the best experience ever! Tourist looking for the best breakfast and mimosas and found it here! The service was amazing also!

AMAZING all-day breakfast food with upbeat, friendly service in a cozy, classic cafe. Our family grabbed Yahtzee off their shelf during the very brief wait for food. Scratch biscuits and gravy were perfection as were the blueberry pancakes. Smothered chicken sandwich also received top marks and the classics- eggs, toast, and bacon were as-good-as-it gets. Will be back soon!

We love this place, it has gluten free options which we need as my wife has celiacs disease. The food is great and the waitress (Trista)has always been friendly. Very few places around here offer gluten free so this was a great find for us.

This is a hidden gem diner. Great food, decent portions, and friendly service. Plus there is a giant skeleton out front.
