Northwoods Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Great food and even better customer service! Never have to worry about your coffee cup being empty and they are very courtious if you have food allergies.
We stopped here on our way to Fargo. We had great food, great service, and all at a great price!
As Cafes go, this is one of the better ones I've been to. You know it's good when you can't find a table at 10 AM and they know their regulars by name. Great service and reasonably priced.
Great food at decent prices. Friendly staff. Sports bar type vibe. I would recommend it.
Great service! Low prices and decent portions along with great tasting food. Nastalgic cafe vibe that took me back to my childhood!!! Love, love, love!!
Great food good price. Would love to go back. Service was great. Does not take credit cards.
Picked this cafe based on the yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. I would give 4.5 stars just because they take CASH or CHECK only & we found that out only when our waitress brought the bill. This could've been bad, luckily we had a little cash left. Otherwise the place is ok, just a typical cozy small town dinner with great food and beyond reasonable prices. We ordered steak and eggs which was delicious. Bacon was tasty. Also French toast & waffles were good. Seems like all the locals come to this cafe so this is very good sign as well. Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.
Staff is so very friendly and fast. Cook was fast. Food was on table quickly and the place was almost full. Breakfast sausage and bacon is absolutely terrible. That's why I give a 4. But everything else was delicious. Best ranch ever. Hash browns. Fresh and yummy. Chicken strips, oh so good.
