I look forward to going to northern Minnesota and stopping by the Café for a hot beef sandwich with the best gravy you will ever taste. This is a must stop for every trip with large portions of great home style cooked breakfasts and lunches, good service. The café is shared with a bait shop and works for me but might not for others, stop in its worth it.

My parents used to take me here almost every weekend growing up. We sold our cabin a few years ago, but I had the pleasure of stopping in for breakfast this past fall. The pancakes are still just how I remember: bigger than the plate and your head — topped with strawberries. The biscuits are gravy were perfect on a cold morning.

Second time up here. 1st time Great!! 2nd not so much. Food was good, with all the people in the kitchen and all the tables that needed to be cleaned up, waitresses running not sure really what to do. Restroom needs service, I saw 3 people tell them and no one took care of it..will come back could have been an off day.

First time here in a very long time. Actually thought it was closed! Based on other good reviews, we gave it another try. Food was good, not stellar. My husband tried the biscuits and gravy. The sausage was tasty but two large patties is more than anyone needs. Toast was homemade bread and that WAS stellar! Eggs were fresh and cooked perfectly to order.Service was attentive until a bunch of large groups came in wanting to be seated together. The three women working were running trying to accommodate, which left those of us already there to fend for ourselves, but understandable. They were working very hard.We will be back.

Always friendly and fast service. Bait & tackle, guns & ammo, gas and convenience store, and an excellent place to sit down and enjoy or take out very good food with an up north atmosphere and the family, friendly feel you expect from up north Minnesota. Perfect for a fast service of an early morning hot meal before that early fishing or hunting excursion close to some of the best hunting and fishing in MN.

Wonderful experience! From the locals to the restaurant to the employees, we didn’t just feel welcomed, we felt at home.My husband and I went to the restaurant for take out this morning and we were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. We were obviously out of place and everyone we encountered went out of their way to welcome us.The food was fantastic! I ordered the country friend steak and eggs. It was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy. He couldn’t say enough about how tasty it was. He LOVED the biscuits.Don’t miss out on your chance to dine here while in Backus!As for my family, we are definitely returning!

Twice in a row my food order for take out took 25 minutes. A hot beef sandwich that had about 3 tough pieces of roast beef in it. I did call and let them know but nothing was ever done about compensation. I won't be coming back.

I’m not sure what just happened. To all the other waitstaff but the short dark haired woman, you are all amazing and doing a great job.Food was good. If it was served to the correct table. I don’t want to drag a business but obviously waitressing is not the short dark haired lady’s strong suit and she should be moved to something not customer facing. The other staff were polite, friendly, and obviously bullied by this one woman.
