River Cafe — Restaurant in Homer

The breakfast burrito was one of the better ones I've ever had, everything on it was fresh and from scratch except maybe the tortilla, which was still fresh and great quality, just maybe not from scratch... which if you're ordering a breakfast burrito, and expect a from scratch tortilla from anywhere, all I can say is good luck! It was busy for their small kitchen but they were still very fast. There isn't a lot of seating inside, but there is lots of outdoor seating too. Service was excellent, portion size was large and filling, and as mentioned, food quality was top-notch!

Obviously I didn't eat it. I would suggest for this restaurant to specify the details of their hash brown on the menu, so people like me would know not...

Most breakfast places in Homer get a relatively late start on their day, even in the summer season, so we are always looking for places that start serving a little earlier. River Cafe does (THANK YOU! Early birds like breakfast too.) This is a semi-self-service place (order at the counter and grab your own complimentary coffee and water), then they bring the food to the table. The service is super fast and friendly. The food was good. We had the biscuits and gravy, which was fine, neither the best nor the worse I've ever eaten. We'll definitely go back again--there were other menu items I'm...
