★★★★★ 5.0 Stewart Ramirez · Oct 2025

Stopped in for a lunch meeting and was impressed. Service was friendly, food came out fast and hot. The omelet was fresh and cooked perfectly, and the sweet potato fries were an easy 10/10. A little on the pricey side, but worth it. I’ll definitely be back!

First time visit to this café. Plenty of menu options for those that enjoy pancakes or a savory breakfast. I enjoyed the steak Skillet which tasted delicious. The riverside eggs Benedict was a savory mix of pork and avocado with eggs. The lattes we had were the S'more and mazapan which tasted amazing. Thanks to Xochitl for a wonderful service. Avg. cost per person would sit around $25.

I ordered the Roasted Poblano Omelet and Latte. It was deliciously amazing. Server was very friendly. Not from the area but would definitely come back to eat next time I visit.

We waited about 20 minutes to sit, we waited longer for the food to Come but it was incredible beautiful presentation. I had to get a box so much food. Maria waited us she was happy and just very sweet. We had not been since they expanded the restaurant.

This was the best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life. I had the Riverside Eggs Benedict, my wife has the biscuits and gravy. The flavor was incredible. They must use fresh ingredients because the color on everything was vibrant. We also had a seasonal chai latte which was probably my favorite Chai to date. For me, this was the highlight of my Great Wolf Lodge stay. I wish we lived closer so I could visit regularly. Our waitress Anna at one point read my mind and provided napkins for my kids who clearly needed them. Will absolutely revisit when we are in town again!
