I’ve eaten here a few times and today I just want to give a special shoutout Thunderbird Cafe. The food here is phenomenal, portions are great, and the price you can’t beat! I do want to say a special thank you to Michelle who has made my meals exactly the way I asked for and she never fails. Her presentation and handling with food I can tell she puts her passion into the meals. Also a special thanks to Josh. Every-time I come in he greets me and makes me feel very welcomed. Today I came in and I asked for the same thing and he knew exactly what my order was and I truly appreciate that because he’s so attentive and kind. Thank you guys for everything you do and keep up the hard work. It definitely shows and I’ll keep coming back.

Simple little spot in the Ford dealership. The prices are fair, the portions are good- nothing huge ur definitely filling. Service is good and gives a local feel

★★★★★ 5.0 Tom Duffy · Mar 2025

Great little spot to have breakfast or lunch while you’re getting your car serviced or shopping for a new one

This is not a typical sit down diner. You get paper plates and no waitress service. But the food was good and the price was a throw back to the eighties. Very inexpensive! If you don't mind the semi cafeteria style service this is a great deal.

Ever have breakfast at the car dealership? Is it worth it? Heck yah it is. Clean and bright restaurant , service staff is friendly. Meal was great and inexpensive. Please note you order at the counter, pour your own coffee, and grab your own utensils. But for a great meal under $10. Yes I’d do it again!
