6. Buzzie's Sunrise Cafe and Catering

First visit back here in over 5 years. The service was excellent and the food was very good. I tried the Ham and Cheese omelette with sausage added. Cost was $8.75 for the entree, coffee was only $1.75 which was reasonable. Food was very good but nothing over the top. It was Sunday morning but the restaurant was only about half full. Great location near the north end of Lake Millacs, right on County Road 47. Would definitely return to try something else, like maybe a burger.

This is a classy little diner style cafe, great place to stop in when taking a break during a long drive north or south. They serve mostly breakfast fare, which is fair due to their general operating hours being morning and early afternoon. Try the cinnamon rolls. They're huge and delicious, sweet enough that you may want to eat only half and save the rest for later. A good variety of classic American breakfast fare, such as pancakes, omelettes, eggs + hash, etc. Occasionally they have specials - eggs benedict, for example.

Another great meal. The owners are attentive and come out and greet you. The restaurant is clean and you can tell there is pride of ownership. Different than other places in the area. The Frisco burger was delicious. The beer was cold. I highly recommend this place for some good food and fun.

This bar and grill are easy to find when traveling #169 north or south. Always lots of vehicles there. Plenty of good food, drinks and wonderful service. Food is always hot and delivered quickly and delicious. Daily specials are also available. Stop in and see for yourself.

We discovered this hidden gem when meeting friends for lunch. The menu is incredible for the North Country, with a Lobster Roll, and fish tacos. The menu was varied and not limited to the usual burgers and fries, but also offered the standard steak and burgers for the less adventuresome. I had a Cuban sandwich and was amazed with the slab of ham and dill pickle spears making this one of the biggest, tastiest Cubans I've had north of Florida. My wife added a chicken filet to her pear salad and called it fabulous. We didn't have the wild rice chili, but it looked very interesting.They advertised a $10.95 Sunday brunch that would attract us if it wasn't an hour drive from our home.They had an intriguing selection of craft brews that we chose to skip because of a long return drive.Our waitress, Christy, was attentive, but not smothering.She refilled our sodas repeatedly during our 2-hour lunch and gab session.My wife shared a peach cobbler with a friend and declared it sumptuous.(A hint, check out the beer keg urinals in the men's room. They're hilarious! People were taking pictures and emailing them to friends)We will return, although restaurants in this region don't seem to survive once the summer vacation season passes. I truly hope this place is a survivor.

Stopped in for breakfast. First time stopping. Food was very good and we walked out stuffed. Everything coming out of kitchen looked good. I had chicken fried steak eggs and hashbrowns and toast. No wonder i was stuffed. Wife had eggs Benedict and said it was very good. We split a caramel roll. Wife like it I did not. Good to split as they are big.
