Garfield Diner

Out-of-the-way, small town breakfast cafe with an outstanding German chef who never fails to come out of the kitchen to chat with the patrons and make sure his offerings were enjoyed.   Garfield, Minnesota is but a whistle stop (population 221) on the cross-state bicycle trail that winds through some of the USA's most beautiful lake country.

Our family started with the heralded caramel roll - still warm from the oven.  We then opted to "build our own omelettes with choice of 3 fillings" but found it hard to stop at 3!  Killer 'shrooms, finely chopped peppers and the obligatory onions make a nice combo with melted Swiss.  Even while trying to limit my carbs, I couldn't resist the "baby redskin hash browns" to complement my omelette.  Yummm.

You gotta love the Minne"sooooootah" accent in these parts.  Our waitress came with just a little attitude today but that is all part of the local color here in the north country.  

I am a fan of any eatery where the chef comes out to "talk food" with this foodie.  We'll be back!

Nice, clean diner with great breakfast options.  My husband and I ordered the S.O.S. and the Philly Omelet.  Both tasted great and had great presentation.  The chef even came out and asked how our meal was!  We'll be back....the fresh caramel rolls that were cooling on a nearby table are calling me.

This place has absolutely phenomenal food!  Best breakfast I've had in a long time and the service is great on top of it.  Some might consider it a little out of the way, but it's worth the drive!
