It is behind VCA ANIMAL-HOSPITAL about 150 yards off Eagle River road. There is a sign by the road but when you look you may miss it. They have a large free parking lot. The service is excellent with both the breakfast buffet and the ability to order from the menu. The buffet line food is kept hot and replenished often so it is fresh. The food is well prepared and tasty. The prices are reasonable. The buffet is all you can eat and comes with coffee and drinks (non-alcoholic). They do have an alcohol license so you can order other drinks. I have ordered off the menu and found those meals to be high quality and large. This is an excellent place to eat in Eagle River.

Wait staff is friendly and attentive. Busy on the weekend but haven't had to wait for a table. We ordered from the menu but they also have a breakfast buffet available.

New Owners trying to save a buck at my expense. Not at all the same warm atmosphere as before. Food was dry and the new buffet menu lacks the variety that I'm used to. I couldn't even choke down the new coffee brand (Folgers) I give them 1 start for the generic effort and 1 for the bacon. Won't be going back.

When you enter you'll notice it was something else once upon a time, but makes a good dining area. A large dining area with buffet and kitchen at front. A little dated but nothing horrible. The staff seated us fairly quick and was over to take our drink order before we were settled. I settled on the buscuits and gravy with home fries. The gravy was a creamy gravy with sausage in it. The biscuits a little old, probably day old. Not bad overall taste. The home fries are the frozen kind and not fresh cut which seems to be the norm for AK. The staff were all nice and attentive. Not a bad spot to grab breakfast. For me the jury is still out, I give 3 stars for now.

I hadn't eaten here since October 2018; the horribly greasy food, lack of buffet options, and aforementioned lack of quality control ensures I won't be back. Other reviewers are spot-on; this place has done a 180 degree turn since it's changed ownership, and not for the better.
