  The restaurant was closed this past winter to allow for a roof repair that was damaged in December 2012. It reopened in mid-March with a new fresh look inside. New paint, carpet, remodeled bathrooms but still the same great food! Hope you all are able to come see the new look and enjoy our great country cooking!

  Really like this little place. Sat in the big? room with all the windows watching cattle and horses in green fields. Ate here about 2 years ago, hot cakes and have never forgot them. Stopped in again about 3 weeks ago, wife had a breakfast burrito that she really liked and again I had the cakes. Just as good as I had remembered. Staff was great and the service was good. Mentioned to the waitress that the hot cakes were as good as I remembered them from 2 years ago. She smiles and said they should be, same recipe and same cook. Anytime we travel the 395 this will be a must visit place for us. There is also a great rv park right next door.

  This is the BEST breakfast place on the east side of the sierras. Well, let me define that, south of Gardnerville and north of Bishop. I have always had great service here, even though they definitly know you are not a local. Local all sit at the counter and talk about the tractor they just fixed. Tourists like me sit by the window and look at the view. The hashbrown are to die for here, all crispy on the outside and not all oily on the inside. Omlets are great too. The chicken fried steak looked yummy if you want a heart attack.....heart attacks are good every once in a while...and hey add a side of bacon to that...hee hee. This a a great day drive from Reno...great scenery and nice road...BF keeps wanting to drive my car.....

  This review is for the restaurant... a cute, country-cottage coffee shop attached to the Meadowcliff Lodge.  
  
  The three stars are for the food, which was pretty good.  We ordered an assortment of omelets, eggs & sausage, pancakes, biscuits, and such, and they all were yummy and cooked exactly as we ordered them... some wanted soft runny eggs (shudder), others wanted them more rubbery and hard cooked.
  
  The place is cute inside, and one would expect to be warmly greeted and served, especially given that there were only two other parties in the cafe at the time.  However, on the day we chose to eat here, it seemed the waitresses had all eaten a sour lemon candy or something... we waited for 25 minutes before one finally came to take our order, all the while she was setting up tables (for customers yet to arrive) and otherwise keeping herself busy and ignoring us.  There seemed to be an attitude of  "Yeah, I work here but you ain't gonna make me like it."  Sad, because otherwise, this could be a really charming place, one that I'd plan to return to.  
  
  Now, we visited only once, and the other morning decided to go elsewhere, so it could have just been an off-day, but given that this was a Saturday, and one of the waitresses was wearing a shirt that said "It's Monday.  What an awful way to start the week.", I'd assume that we experienced the prevailing attitude here.  Perhaps the management could sprinkle some happy dust on them... or otherwise incentivize them to at least "pretend" they are happy to have customers.

  This is a nice secluded motel out at the foot of the eastern Sierras. The place was clean and pleasant. I went with a friend and she liked the setting with the meadows and cliffs. Yes it is appropriately named.  The location is quite scenic and bucolic. Cows in the fields, hay stacks and all of that.  We ate at the restaurant. It was pretty typical coffee shop fare, but it was good and the staff were friendly locals. No one called us city folks.
