Annie's Cafe — Restaurant in Butte

We were just passing through Butte and this place had good reviews so we stopped by. Boy, were those reviews ever incorrect! Where do I start? The place is a total dive (not in a good way). The vinyl was peeling off the tables. My tea came out with coffee grinds in it. The breaded fish was way over-baked; you could break the sticks they were so cooked. The food took over an hour to come out even though there were only 6 other people in the restaurant at the time. The cook in the kutchen had her hair hanging over the food (not tied back at all) the whole time she was cooking. The pancakes were cooked first and were completely cold and dried out by the time they were brought out to us. And this place is listed as having vegan options, but literally the only vegan thing on the menu was a "salad" which consisted of iceberg shreds, a few cucumber slices, tomato, olives, and a random canned peach (???) and a bottled vinaigrette. They didn't even have any options other than butter to cook hashbrowns in. And black, totally blackened, bacon. Like charred and inedible....

You guys!!! This is the breakfast restaurant! I tried it out because of the great ratings. Typical Breakfast fare excerpt it was huge! I didn’t plan to eat the whole thing... but I couldn’t stop it was sooo Delicious 🤤...the place it self is epic too so kitschy.

Side note:* I found out the hard way that with the two toilets in the ladies bathroom one is just for show... I walked in, the lady before me must have forgot to lock the door, anyhoo as I’m getting ready to go to the toilet that I see, I peek into the random stall that’s in there and bam there is this sweet lady in there silent, probably mortified that she forgot to lock the door, at this point I should have backed out and gave her her space... well I didn’t think of that in the moment so I chatted with her while I peed in the side toilet... there was no toilet paper (I noticed late) so it must have been the one for show... anyhow the sweet lady seemed to take it in stride... this probably speaks more about the people of Butte than the restaurant but they...

Wonderful little Cafe for breakfast! Everything was cooked well and just as I asked. The blueberry syrup was particularly good on pancakes. The eggs were just right. The bacon very flavorful. The waitress was very prompt and polite enough. Not overly friendly but at 7:30 in the morning I can say I appreciated a little less attention as I wasn't quite ready to be awake. She was attentive just enough to keep my drink filled, hot, and the food was quick to come out as well. My only negative mention for this place is that they do not accept debit or credit cards. Luckily I did have cash and boy are they affordable! Less than ten dollars for the amount of food I got and the quality was really great. Cheaper than fast food and far far better quality. I'm not from butte so this was an unusual day for me and I would definitely recommend them to anyone in butte or passing through looking for...
