We were welcome with open arms by Mat. I will come back again for the great food. Had an awesome chat with Mat and the customer service was A1.

Very small Americana style diner. Our server was sweet and the vibe is very tight knit. I ordered a beef steak with eggs over hard and really enjoyed its simplicity. No surprises, you get what you ordered and it's great.

Wonderful cafe for breakfast or lunch. Today it was 82 degrees out, absolutely beautiful, so we sat on their large patio. They are dog friendly! I had the patriot waffle; one Blueberry Belgian Waffle with strawberries and whipped cream on top. Everything was delicious. Service was really fast. This place is very popular, it looked like a 5-10 minute wait to sit inside for any groups larger than 2. Five stars for great food, outdoor seating, and being dog friendly.

Have been going to Spirit River for years. The quality has never gone down, and everything is served hot and fresh. Best salads and dressings ever. The service is exceptional every time. The only downside is the wait, which can be long due to the popularity. Even though the ownership is changing, will continue to frequent unless things change.

I give the Spirit River Cafe ! I don't know why I didn't think to write a review sooner, but better late than never. Head's up there is usually a wait. We have been coming here 9 years now. Let me say I'm kind of picky when it comes to food being done right. The food is always delicious! The service continues to be friendly and excellent. I love the country music, country vibe and its decor. I recommend the Vera Cruz Omelet with their homemade house salsa. If you have a sweet tooth you can't go wrong with the Pecan Cinnamon Roll French Toast is awesome with sausage patties and eggs or Patriotic Waffle by itself. I really haven't tried anything on their menu I don't like and if you're an early bird they have a nice discounted menu before 8:00AM.

For years, this was THE go-to place for breakfast/lunch here in Apple Valley. Last visit, a few days ago, was greeted with "Hi...you know it's cash only now?" That was a bit of a shock, but more so, seeing how empty, the typically full place, was now. Not sure what's going on, but the service was mediocre and the food fell short from before. I hate seeing this happen to one of our favorite spots. Praying they turn around and go back to the original way of business and get better cooks. Otherwise, they'll fold like so many others have. Sad to think.....

I have been going to this restaurant off and on through the years. It is in the Spirit River Center that has the statue of Roy Roger's Trigger at the entrance. I ordered an Athena Scramble with fresh fruit and flatbread. It is eggs scrambled with olives, tomatoes, and mushrooms topped with crumbled feta cheese. The flatbread came grilled on one side and was crispy and soft at the same time. It was enjoyable with the contrast in texture. I also ordered a single pancake, buttermilk this time as they did not have buckwheat that morning. All of the items were tasty and very satisfying. This is a good place for breakfast and lunch. A good restaurant to put on a rotation. Food and service is consistently good here.

Walked in and was greeted with friendly smiles. This place is a country style all American food cafe. I found this place through a friend and it did not disappoint. I had breakfast burrito with country potatoes and an ice tea. Every bite was delicious! The jalapeño tortilla was a bonus! Simply delicious! If you like it e tea, they brew it to perfection. Parking is plenty here. Bathroom is well stocked and clean:

Someone recommended this place and it didn't disappoint. My two teenage boys, ordered French toast and they loved it. The large portions filled them up, very delicious. I would definitely recommend. Service was fast and friendly. Place is clean, small but the flow is fast.
