Man what a way to come out of quarantine for this restaurant.
I'll start off with cleanliness. With everything that has gone on we were definitely a little worried to eat out but they took all our worries away. Looked clean. Smelt clean and was definitely cleaned regularly.

Now on to service.
As we all know this mountain is known for the best service and I have to say the service here was the best we have ever gotten.

Now on to the food.
Amitii had the salmon and it was cooked to perfection. Not dry at all. Of coarse the garlic parmesan fries were great and she is addicted to the veggies.
I have the Cali chicken sandwich. now I have had alot of places over cook grilled chicken but definitely not here tonight. My chicken was juicy and grilled just right.
We left here with some healthy food to take home. The portions were definitely enough for left overs.
So please check out Mr. Zeke's and get some of the best service and food on the mountain.

Obviously due to this virus we are not eating out.
Unfortunately we have seen our favorite restaurant Karen's Cafe close it's doors for good.
I know times are tough and we are all struggling and worried about what's going to come, but please if you can, even if just a cold drink or a side of fries, please try and get something from a local restaurant.
We have been trying to get take out and have had some amazing service from places like Mr. Zeke's and picnic basket.
Wash your hands and stay stong. We are an amazing community and together we will be able to get through this.

Ok so we actually came here a few weeks ago but I have been deciding on how to word this reviewxand decided straight honesty is best so here it is.

The atmosphere here was great. Amazing decore and music.
The food on the other hand was lacking.
I had the french toast with ham and house potatoes.
Amitii had the pancakes with sausage, eggs, and home fried potatoes.
Honestly my French toast was very bland. Potatoes had zero flavor or seasoning. I also was never offered salt or pepper. Ham was good. This meal really had alot missing.
Amitii says," the scrambled eggs were yoki and under cooked. Pancakes were good but one side was crusty from being cooked too long. I asked for sugar-free syrup and the server brought me packets of sugar and syrup and then was told that there was no sugar free syrup.

Price was good, service was ok. I guess they had alot of call outs that weekend from what I heard later.
Unfortunately as far as breakfast I will not being going back as of this time.

Ok sorry it's been so long since out last post. Someone decided she needed to turn 9 lol.

So we went to the house for dinner, Amitii decided on the pulled pork sandwich while I had the Greek burger.

So it is a picture of have the burger because let's be honest I couldn't keep my hands off it. First it was cooked the way I wanted, not well done, so that k you for that. On the Greek burger it had some gyro meat, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and some sauce I couldn't spell if I tried lol. I will have to say I didn't like the cucumber on it, but once it was removed it was the perfect burger. Now I do have to say I am not a big chips fan but they were still good.

Amitii says, my pork was good and not dry, the chips were great to dip into ranch. I loved it.

Only complaint was that I wish they had more side options and it came with a big pickle on the side( I don't like pickles at all). Amazing service, I don't expect anything less from our amazing mountain, and a nice atmosphere for relaxing and enjoying some good food.

This week we went to the big city of Saint John's and at El Camino. I had the zappy burger and Ami had the chicken taco.

First my zappy was very good. Nice sized for the price($11) beans were cooked perfect and actually salted which I'm finding out is hard to find around here. My only complaint is I was not asked how I wanted my burgers cook so they made it well done so it did dry out the meat.

Amitii says, my chicken was moist and not dry. Very good, rice was perfect but the beans were dry.

As always with our amazing mountain the service was perfect and definitely worth a trip back.

Ok I'll do my best to not be biased....

Today we are doing a review of Karen's Cafe.

Here I ate the TJ burrito with french fries exchanged for the hash browns. ( I'm not a huge hash browns fan)
Amitii had a sausage, egg, and cheese on bagel. ( Not pictured). The bagel was soft and not hard or old. Tasted very fresh with an all around perfectly cooked meal. Flavors blended well together and big enough to fill you up.
The burrito was seasoned perfect with the green chili, avacado, egg, ect. This burrito is massive and definitely is not easy to finish in one sitting. Due to the fried egg and fresh cooked beef it does a little greasy if you let it sit. Definitely a eat now food and not a take a wait.
Whoever came up with this burrito is obviously a genius lol. ( Couldn't help it)

But if your looking for some good food with a nice at home feel, amazing staff, and some of the best fresh pastries and food definitely stop by and check it out.

So this week we went to breakfast at Picnic Basket.
Amitii got the Mickey mouse pancake and I went with the steak and eggs omelette burrito.

Amitii loved the pancake, fluffy and sweet. The addition of fruit to make the face is something she really enjoyed.
My burrito was good the only issues I had were with all they crammed in it you couldn't hold it and had to eat it with a fork also I would have also liked to be able to pick how my steak was cook. They cooked it more then I would have liked but it still had amazing taste.

As always we had amazing service. Always on top of making sure we didn't need anything. Everyone there works as a group checking everyone's tables not just leaving them because they aren't theirs.

We will definitely be back and have to try the pie when we do.

We hope everyone had a happy holidays and Merry Christmas.
We will be doing another review on Friday.
We will put small locally owned food and drink businesses from around the mountain into a hat and we will have Amitii pull out the name of the business every Friday.
If you guys have any suggestions or want to tag along feel free to message us.

For our first post Amitii had chili beans and corn bread and I had the chili dogs at crockery cafe & infusery located in sweetpeas cafe in pinetop-lakeside across the street from Safeway.

I do have to say the presentation was amazing and was the food. The chili had great flavor and wasn't so spicy that Amitii couldn't eat it. Cornbread was moist and not dry and flaky which is hard to find.
Chili dogs had just the right amount of topping the blend together perfectly, making every bite just as delicious.
Pair the food with a smoothy from sweetpeas and you have yourself a really filling and tasty lunch.
As far as price we can say we are very happy. Wasn't breaking the bank to eat here.
We can't wait to try more food from this establishment.
