Don't let the rustic surroundings or negative reviews dissuade you. The food here is excellent - one of the best breakfasts I've had in a very long time. I will be back to try some of the Filipino food I keep hearing about.

My husband and I tried this place out for the first time today and it was super good! I got the eggs Benedict and my husband got some omelette lol we both enjoyed our food and our waitress was nice! We will definitely return

The food here was absolutely terrible 5 separate dishes a $100 bill and not a single one was good. Soggy fries and food that looked like it should just be thrown in the trash. The service and atmosphere were great but really no effort into preparing good food.

I think this was the best breakfast I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant. Not a hollandaise connoisseur, however tried the bruschetta Benedict add bacon crumble…..it was amazing.

I make sure to stop in whenever I'm in Swift Current and have the chance for the Filipino food here. My go-tos are the Tapasilog, and the Pansit Bihon. Lots of good food at a decent rate and friendly staff.

Food was terrible. This used to be a good restaurant now it should probably be shut down! From all the booths, being torn, the bathrooms are terrible. We had to ask four times for toilet paper. One of the meals came out, completely burned. They ended up taking that one off the bill when the kids ice cream came at the end of their meal, there were sharp plastic shards in the ice cream. I'm not sure if it was from the bucket but it cut up the inside of two of my kids mouths. An apology but that's it. We had to fight down the waiter a few times to get issues resolved. For instance, they brought an empty ketchup bottle for a table of seven. It was just a really bad experience. I think it needs a visit from the health inspectors.

Uninspired - I had the Bacon Lovers Burger, more like ‘kinda like bacon as a friend’. The patty was charred to black & crispy, the bun soggy, no hint of a sauce, and a sad slice of American cheese. A piece and a half of bacon left me wondering if I was in the bacon friend zone and why they charge almost $18 for this?! Two stars because technically it was edible. The service was acceptable but there was only 3 parties in the restaurant so not exactly slammed. Don’t think I’ll be going back to this establishment.

We enjoyed a festive gathering in the Banquet room- but its a good thing the crowd was cheerful because the facility was not. The public washrooms are a disgrace with doors not closing, seats coming off of the base, dirt and grime everywhere. The dishes and cutlery we were given could all use a good scrub, or better yet, buy some new stuff! The restaurant itself was empty at 7pm on a Friday night, the lounge area held 3....I guess this speaks for itself. Thankfully the staff was friendly and helpful when approached directly.

Wow! When traveling across Canada, we always look for family-styled restaurants that have high reviews for good food and this one is right up there! I had the baked lasagna with perhaps the best-flavoured tomato sauce that I have ever eaten. My wife had the Taco salad and she said it was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend this eatery.

Drove into Swift Current from Regina, and decided to stop in and try this restaurant which had good reviews. We arrived at 1:30pm and the sign said it closed at 3pm. The woman walking around rushed us to finish our food and locked people out at 2pm. The food was cold, she was incredibly rude and I dont recommend going here. The only good thing was the server was nice. Horrible experience

Me and my gf just visited this afternoon and had 2 simple orders dry ribs and onion rings and a clubhouse and yam fries. How in the hell you can screw that up but it happened onion rings were over done and ribs didnt have any seasoning and my sandwich and yam fries bland as hell. The best part was the lightly season soup I started with. We left after talking to the manager twice but to my server thank you your part of the service was great.

We were very pleased with our experience at the modern family restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating and kept our coffee topped up. The food was fabulous and the whole atmosphere of the restaurant was very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place. The only down side here is the very underwhelming bathroom, which seemed more suited to roadside truck stop. It was clean, but dated. I give this place 5 stars. We would definitely go back next time we go through Swift Current.
