Serving breakfast since 1979, this local spot is ranked No. 1 in Whitefish on Tripadvisor. The signature 'Buffalo Pie' is not a pie at all.

Other favorites include huckleberry pancakes, eggs Benedict and locally cured Kansas City bacon. Breakfast is served until 2 p.m., and some days it also opens for dinner from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Expect a 30–45 minute wait on peak weekends, so arriving at 7 or 8 a.m. is recommended.
