"The North Powder Cafe serves a true "full meal deal." The food is delicious, and they do not scrimp on the portions they serve. We always have more than enough to take home for a second meal. The service is swift and friendly, and it is always fun to eat here. Plus, the milkshakes are thick and delicious!"

"best chicken fried steak. dont have pancakes (which are huge) after lunch hr but the french toast was good too. ill go out of my way every chance i get just to dine here..."

- Rigo G.

"A hidden gem! Good food, great service, small town vibe. My wife loved the French Dip with homemade onion rings -- she would give 5 stars. I thought it needed a bit more flavor. I liked the Beef Eater sandwich with waffle fries. It was a hot sandwich with good ingredients. Again, I just desired more flavor in the roast beef. That's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. We finished up with a slice of delicious Huckleberry Cream pie. Try the pie -- you can thank me later!"

- Bryan A.

"The food is EXCELLENT! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The restrooms are clean! I will DEFINITELY be back! Large truck parking for about 15 trucks. I had the "Hungry Man Omelet" AMAZING!"

- Michelle A.

"I had the most marvelous lunch here with my grandmother. I had the Ranchero burger with grilled mushrooms and onions, the works, and swiss cheese. Granny had her own spicy Bronco burger with jalapenos and onions and pepperjack cheese. Steak burger patties hand-made to order and delightful buns with light cheese on top. Absolutely the best burger I have had in my life, hands down. (I'm I'm a native Texan, trust me on this) Come hungry and leave happy! The portions are a great size for the price and the staff are friendly and helpful. I would come back daily if I could afford to eat out that often. Cannot give this place a more glowing review. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop in. And their cinnamon rolls are HUMONGOUS. $5 each, smells incredible, and tastes even better. Holy mackerel is this place heaven on earth."
