Breakfast is offered until 11am, but you can do the pancake challenge all day long (open until 2pm), but you may have to wait for the griddle to be free. The challenge is to eat 5 giant pancakes, each being 1 inch thick and 18 inches in diameter. The operator said that only 4 people have completed the challenge in ten years. That says something about the huge amount of food you are trying to consume, since a lot of hungry PCT hikers come through the restaurant.

Delicious, simple food with generous portions. Biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs with bacon, crispy hashbrowns, and pancakes. All good. With just one person cooking and serving, it wasn't fast food, but well worth the wait.

Very small place. Very simple. The chicken bacon ranch burger was by far one of the best I have had and the price is below what your getting.
