“ A large group of 9 came in on a Saturday afternoon, and loved our experience. Some of us had lived in Kooskia in the distant past, but we all love the town, the food and the service. The turkey grilled sandwich with cheese and tomato was the hit of the table. I think half of us ordered that. All of us signed off that this was a fabulous sandwich. Not a fancy place, but a great joint for local food. Super nice family who run the restaurant. Oh, and get the peanut butter pie if you can. Friggin sweet! ”
“ The food is excellent. Very attentive and friendly service. Definitely a place to stop and eat. 100% recommend. I had the bacon cheeseburger. ”
“ Friendly staff. Fresh baked bread. Everything was tasty. Indoor and outdoor dining. ”
“ What a delicious variety and experience! My husband and I been traveling and hiking in the surrounding wilderness and National Forest. We were half an hour away from the town of Kooskia and wanted to stop for gas and food. I was hoping there was some restaurant or bar open to get dinner as my experience thus far is that small town businesses closes early compare to the city. Got into Main Street and parked and googled restaurants that were still open. I saw two which was the cafe and a bar. I'm so thankful that the Kooskia Cafe was still open, serving and doesn't close til 9pm! Such a quaint town surrounded by gorgeous natural nature. The cafe was noticeable and easy to find. Plenty of street parking on main street as well as the adjacent street. Walking into the spacious Cafe, it is clean, well lit, with music playing and there is a restroom. The cafe present much history displayed on the walls which was cool to see and read. The dining area is large, also has an outdoor seating area and can definitely hold a few large parties and families. There is a salad bar and dessert spinning on display which I appreciate seeing what my options are to truly decide. The ladies/servers in front were helpful with my questions and even made great suggestions! I enjoyed listening to the ladies in the kitchen singing and doing their thing, such fun energy! Absolutely appreciate the variety and affordability of the menu and that breakfast is served all day. So of course I ordered us breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert to go! I didn't wait too long at all for my take out, it was dinner time, I wasn't in a rush, there was also a couple large parties dining and I ordered quite a bit of food. The restaurant is open 7 days a week and from 6am to 9pm. The current notice on the door states they are close at 2pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays due to low staffing. Definitely a delicious gem! Appreciate the business, availability, professionalism, variety, generous portions and everything was absolutely delicious! Thank you!
