We were on a tour and stopped here for lunch, it was warm and inviting. The biggest soft drinks, I have ever seen and really really nice hamburgers. Everyone in the diner was helpful, pleasant and it had a nice atmosphere with lots of bibs and bobs around the place to look at. We just really enjoyed our lunch here.

Food was what I expected, service was great. Our waitress seemed happy to be there which is rare these days. Overheard a group of old men talk about fly fishing and once in awhile I would get a whiff of cigarette smoke, but that all helped the pleasent mountain diner experience despite the food.

This little café is practically on the river next door to the lodge. Friendly service, good food and moderate prices. I can't comment on dinner but breakfast was very good and their sausage patties are the best.

Cheryl's Diner advertises good home cooked food in a friendly atmosphere. When I go to a restaurant that advertises GOOD HOME COOKED food I expect more than I can throw together in my kitchen in 5 minutes with no attention to the food, no finesse, and no spices. The fries were straight out of the pre-processed frozen section of the... More

We ate breakfast here twice and each time was just perfect. The biscuits were some of the best I've ever had and the service was friendly and efficient. We took advantage of the free wifi so it really was a pleasant experience.

The service is very friendly. I ordered scrambled eggs and bacon, which should be fool proof. The bacon was ok, but the scrambled eggs were a texture I haven't seen since my mother last made me eggs, and she cannot cook.

I had a great breakfast here. It's a classic diner which gives his best for breakfast. I had a sweet breakfast; pancakes, freshly squeezed orange juice, and black coffee. The service was good and kind; I didn't wait much for having my pancakes, which were fluffy and good. I irrigated them with maple syrup, pretty awesome. I recommend this place... More
