Thompson's Café — Restaurant in Cavalier

Only time we ever get a great meal is if the owners are cooking! Otherwise forget it. They get our order wrong dang near every time. Last time we were there as a family, we were the only ones in there. Bunch of kids working. Bunch of tables dirty. I watched as they put our plates of food up and yelled order up. And then as the waitress went for our food the cook throw something from the kitchen at her. I watched it land in one of our plates and the waitress picked it out and brought us our food. Gross. They were screaming and yelling... apparently forgetting there were customers...

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.

It was my first time at this cafe, went with my kids, and I would say it won't be my last. If I find myself in Cavalier (Pembina County) again, I will surely have a meal there. Old setting Cafe looks like a family owned restaurant.

The food was great, the service was even better, and the lady was very friendly and courteous without being over patronising.

The atmosphere was okay and basic, for small town maybe that's all that is needed.

Customers should please stop sticking chewed bubble gums under the tables,...
