Happy Chef Restaurant

Ordered the chicken Cordon bleu omelette.Service was excellent Ambiance is the coffee shop environment Highly recommend... super delicious

The food is always amazing. The service is friendly and accommodating and the ambiance is what I always remember at a happy chef of years past. The staff acts and feels like they are family. I ordered the heartland breakfast it is a lot of food and was cooked perfectly.

It's hard to find good biscuits and gravy, I've been here once before and theirs was pretty decent. Tried again today and it was disappointing. It looks like it was sitting for a while before it was brought out and the biscuits were definitely over done with some burnt parts. The hash browns and eggs were ok but were starting to get a bit cold by the time I got them. The server was pleasant and everything, the food just wasn't that great.

They seated us promptly. Our waiter was friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is of a medium sized diner. I ordered the French toast sampler and it was delicious. They have a great selection of different types of pancakes and specials.

My family loves this place. My husband and I both love a good breakfast spot, and the food is great. The pancakes and omelets are really good, but we usually get the Country Breakfast- eggs, toast, meat, and hash browns. Our teenaged daughters like the cinnamon swirl pancakes or the country fried steak and eggs. And they LOVE the muffins. The staff stick around a long time so we get to know the servers a bit and they remember how we like our coffee. I believe this was the first Happy Chef and that it's the last one remaining. The big Happy Chef statue has corny jokes to tell you so come try out this nostalgic place.

Service is always good, but I come here for the cinnamon roll pancakes. 10/10 recommend. So good. I just wish they had fresh fruit. Overall nice spot for breakfast or brunch!

This was a nostalgic visit for me--it was common for my family to visit Happy Chef when traveling. Fast forward to 2018 and it's painfully obvious as to why this is the only remaining location.The $12 chicken strips I ordered were advertised as "buffalo style", but there's nothing remotely spicy about them. The ranch dressing served with them is obviously food service quality straight from the bottle. One of the fries was green and I had fewer than you get in a happy meal. And here's the clincher--I received a strip that was cut in half. It would have been better for appearance sake to not even include it. WiFi isn't available either; which is as outdated as the decor. Skip this place and venture into town, as better options surely exist.

Stopped here on 02/23 on the drive back to Sioux City after going to see a school play up in the Twin Cities. Our waitress Cheri was amazing! Food came out faster than what I was expecting. And nice paint job on the exterior trims and signage. The ambience is always warm and relaxing.

Pleasantly surprised at how good the food was at Happy Chef. It's definitely a diner and the restaurant itself is run down. But people flock here for breakfast, lunch and dinner probably because the food is good. I ordered the patty melt with tater tots and it was so good. The tots were hot and crispy and the marble rye bread on the patty melt was toasty and wide cut. In my opinion it's good to stick to the comfort favorites, though they also have a steak or two; they could be good, I really don't know. We were so full from our entrees that we didn't order dessert though they have bread pudding, which is one of my favorite desserts. Maybe next time.

i went once and was recommended the new turkey omelette. The omelette was a hit absolutely loved. Went back 1 day later the omelette was very different than the first was very disappointed but still went back for a third time. Third time took an order to go omelette melted through the styrofoam completely and my bacon was completely burnt and half cooked at the same time. This time I tipped to have it made the same way as the first and even waved my hand to thank the cook. Would hate to think that it was due to the color of my skin but I won't ever be returning. Should've waited for the chef that created the turkey omelette :-(.
