Always great food and great service. If you want it and it's on the menu you can have it anytime and any way. My favorite is a side of bacon 2 slices of French toast and a kid size fry always the best!
We actually were on our way to another restaurant but it was closed. We had never been to the Caribou so we decided to give it a try. Very impressed! We had lunch, a chili burger and a bacon cheeseburger. Fresh fries!! Excellent quality burgers and my chili burger was ridiculously big! Our server, Diana was great, the place was very clean and the atmosphere was unmistakably small town. We will be back, highly recommended.
Loved this historical Inn! Built in 1925. I loved the way the stairs creaked when walking up to room. This place feels very homey. Our room was clean and no weird smells. Donny the caretaker was very kind and very attentive, always asking how we are doing and if there was anything he could do for us every time he seen us coming or going. Great place to stay overall!
The food was good, but i was charged to much, i gave her a 20 i got back a5. I had ham, 2 eggs,hashbrowns,coffee, it should of been around 12 not 15. Good tip wouldn't you say!!!
There are not many places open in this small town on Sunday mornings. I saw quite a few vehicles outside of the Cariboo so decided to try it. Very friendly folks inside. I had my usual bacon & eggs with toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly and my coffee cup never ran dry. So if you find yourself in Okanogan, WA looking for a breakfast The Cariboo is a fine place to eat.
omg...food is excellent. Very nice staff. I'm from the south so I was a bit snooty about how they were gonna bring my food but I was shocked. The food was just excellent. Try the homemade biscuits!! I almost fell out my seat when I bit into it lol
Nice and clean service with a smile, enjoyed eating there.The food was great. We had burgers and fries ,the fries were actually home made way to go .we will be back .prompt service. Waitress was very friendly.not sure who the cook was but good job.thank u for the experience.
Our family has a Sunday morning tradition to get together for breakfast, we enjoyed the meal. Pretty pricey, but you get large servings. Tiny coffee mugs! Took 4 to get a good dose of caffeine! Come on guys! Get bigger mugs, as it is the waitress has to come by every 5 minutes to refill. Some folks may not appreciate that.
