We stopped here for breakfast on our way to the Minnesota state fair. As we walked in, a large table of friends enjoying their breakfast told us to seat ourselves anywhere (we looked like tourists, lol). Our server couldn't have been friendlier, and our food came out fast, hot, and delicious. The bacon was my favorite - thick, crispy, and yummy. My friend especially enjoyed the caramel roll, which came out of the oven just before we got there. To top it all off, some generous anonymous diner paid for our breakfast in full! Boondocks is small town dining at its best.

Service and coffee are excellant, get to the restaurant early if you want homemade carmel or cinnamon roll.Everything is homemade from scratch and to order. Dont expect your meal in 5 especially on weekends. Their moto is: A great meal takes time, your order will be ready in a few minutes.Order #1 for breakfast.

Love the atmosphere of a bustling cafe, awesome breakfasts and baked goods. Limited lunch menu. Delicious food.

Bad service. Bad food. I came here years ago when staying here and the was a wonderful place. They don't serve breakfast on Sunday. Lunch options are sad. It's too bad. Maybe covid made it go down hill.

For the local farmers (and most farmers in the U.S.) who grow soybeans, corn and wheat, etc., breakfast starts at 6 am, lunch is around 10 am, dinner is around 1 pm, and supper is at 6 pm. Non farmer locals generally follow suit.We were here for breakfast and ordered biscuits and gravy, a carmel roll, the denver skillet, and scrambled eggs with sausage with hash browns. Both came with your choice of toast. Everything was very good, coffee excellent.Lots of tables, friendly staff. Open 6 am to 3 pm.Should hit -20 tonight, with more snow. Current ground snow about 12 inches. We'll be doing some ice fishing on Otter Tail Lake today for walleyes and perch. My ice fishing gear is ready as is my Vexilar and I checked the blades on my auger. The northern lights can create quite a stunning show in this area. I hope to see them. A few years ago the bright green, blue, and red wavy lights circled the family residence for about 30 minutes during the evening.

I had the French toast and eggs and it was as good as usual. I'm also amazed that the watreses can rember what I have to drink since I don't usually come here. They also open early and the kitchen stops taking orders at 2:45pm.

Food was good, service was so-so. They sat us at a dirty table while there was clean ones available. The waitress threw kid menus on the table and stormed away when I asked if they had kid menus after waiting 5 mins for her to come back after wiping the table. Would give it another try as I know we all have bad days.

Easy to give the restaurant five stars. A café like this every community needs to have. The breakfast was great! Some of the best biscuits n' gravy I've ever had! The side order of hash browns I requested was huge! A lot of food for a low price. And good coffee too. Plenty of seating. The place was clean. As it's not a greasy spoon restaurant. To top it off. The service was fantastic! The waitress was friendly. Always checking to see if we needed anything. My only regret is we never came back for lunch.

Stopped by, on our way to the Twin Cities, after reading the mostly good reviews on Yelp. Needless to say, we were not disappointed. Serving sizes are humongous and tasty. Hash browns are "handshreaded" as the menu says. If you are in a hurry, not what you should order as it takes 15 minutes for those to be cooked. Certainly worth the wait. We had the Denver skillet and a Sausage skillet, and it was filling. If driving through again, and looking for a good meal, we'd certainly stop by.

The food at boondocks is where you would expect at an All-American diner. Roast beef turkey ham and chicken are your main topics. That is not to be off-putting as the food tastes really good. Most of the waiting staff has been there for years and the owners and the owner's children all work there. If you ever get your food and it's not done how you would like they bring it back and correct it. You can't ask for much more from a service point of view. My family goes and eats at boondocks about two times a month and perhaps three on a good month. Now comes the waiting staff review. You better bring your laughing bone and your talking Bone because they are definitely willing to make you laugh, hear a good joke, or talk with you about just about anything. Whenever my son has a new joke to tell he tells it to the waitresses. We moved here in 2022 and boondock is our main eating place
