Thompson's Café

Have gone there every Tues. for the chicken and pizza buffet. Last week at 6:15, they were closing early at 7:00, the cook didn't want to cook more chicken, even though the buffet went till closing. Manager comped my check. Very nice of her. This week, it was 5:15 and I asked if he was going to put out more chicken. Eventually, found out since there were only two people eating off the buffet, no. Then at 5:55, was told chicken would be ready 15 minutes. Too late. Either have a buffet or don't. Also, soups need to be seasoned. No flavor.

Staff were awesome we were camping in the area and got in late, they were helpful and polite even though we ended up arriving near closing time, definitely would plan to eat there again when visiting the area. We all ordered burgers to avoid extra work for staff, but they were on par with the best diner burgers our family has had.

The service was terrible. Stopped in for lunch while in town at a client and we were barely attended to. The waitress assumed that we knew what to order and didn't read us specials. It wasn't busy at all, seemed like the big rush had finished already. When I received my garden salad it had a long black hair stuck in it. The food was inedible and the service was terrible. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Excellent food! Breakfast anytime. Homemade chili!

Husband and I love the teenager burger! Good comfort food and the waitresses are nice as well as the cooks. The staff is always nice to us and we are thankful to have a restaurant to go to near home.

I love these small town cafe,s

Great food and good waitress staff, but owners could do alot more for the atmosphere by removing the filthy carpet and installing a tile floor, by improving the restrooms, and by improving the salad bar. Some appropriate dining music would be nice too.

Brings back a lot of memories of the small-town I was raised in

Pretty good food for a small town cafe, they can be pretty busy slowing them down at times, but it's usually worth the wait! Pizza, sandwiches, and burgers are your best bet.

They do have a full bar too!

Exactly what you'd expect from a cafe in Cavalier, ND. When we walked in all the old people inside looked at us like we were trespassing in their backyard, but that was kinda new and fun so we didn't mind.

It's all about the experience, and breakfast in Cavalier did not disappoint. We got the steak and eggs and it was cooked properly and we enjoyed it greatly.
