AJ's Cafe — Restaurant in Priest River

We loved this place 2 years ago. However, have noticed a steady decline, since. This weekend, the (new?) server with the black hair forgot simply EVERYTHING that accompanies a takeout order. Had to return and drive back for plasticware with which to eat our food, then, had to return AGAIN for the ketchup for the hashbrowns and, then again for the syrup for the pancakes! We were exhausted by the time we finished driving back multiple times for everything, and the breakfast was like a hard rock in our stomachs from the stress. 27.00 for two basic breakfasts to go. Everything was ice-cold when we finally finished running back and forth across town for all the missing items. The food quality has decreased, as well. It tastes like they are using way cheaper product, and stretching it thin. We always avoided Audrey's over in Newport for this reason. Now, AJ's has this same icky aftertaste. Cheap ingredients taste cheap to the tongue that knows better. I understand costs go up, but quality should not suffer, as a consequence. These cheap, generic eggs, potatoes and gravies are jam packed with chemicals and you can taste them if you've been eating clean food. I guess it's down to what we really need in this community is an all organic place to eat, our lives depend on it. Guess we'll discontinue eating out until that happens...

Man, I'm so glad I decided to stop in today! They have new cooks and a few new staff members who were all fast, hard working friendly staff. Our waitress was so cheerful and friendly. All of our food was done really well. I had the eggs Benedict and they tasted as good as they looked. The mushroom swiss burger I had a bite of was great, and the French fries(we had ours with cheese on top) were so crispy and perfect. The service was fast. The place was clean and they are more affordable that other places. Their portions are really good and my favorite thing was these little...

Came here when they were slammed with customer and the new waitress was running her tail off trying to care for everyone her wonderful cook stepped out to help as much as she could while they waited for help to come in and they did a great job food was delicious and very filling coffee was perfect and even though they had a full resteraunt early in the morning they still managed to keep the cups full and most importantly what a wonderful small town happy atmosphere great job ladies you make a great team can't wait...
