Gateway Cafe

We stopped here and had the fish and chips and german sausage sandwich. It was average as my fish was just warm and the sausage was "pretty bad". I don't like to have to get up and get my own hot water for my tea refill but she didn't come back to get it. 2 plates of average food for 20$ means I won't be back.

I'm not sure if the location of this place is right on the accompanying map, but just drive through Plummer on 95 and you can't miss it.

I stopped in for a big breakfast on my way up to Sandpoint to kayak for the day, and I was not disappointed.

Though they have many "specials" for the smaller appetites of the older patrons that seem to frequent the stop, they know how to serve a large plate when one is ordered.

I forget the name of the dish, but it was a base of hashbrowns fried up with ham, onion and peppers with some fried eggs on top. It wasn't anything special, but boy did it really hit the spot.

It came with a side of pancakes, like any good breakfast does. They were very, very fluffy and large. I don't know if they just use a pancake mix or what, but they really know how to cook them so that they fluff up properly.

I'm betting that my waitress was the owner and the cook was her husband, but I'm not sure on that. Either way, it's obviously a Mom and Pop joint that stays afloat by the local business.

My only complaint is that the coffee kind of sucked. Other than that, I stuffed myself for less than $10 on a solid, country breakfast. I will likely return.
