Tower Cafe is a diner done well. The eggs were cooked as ordered, the hashbrowns were crispy, and the service was excellent. Definitely worth the stop if you're driving between Virginia and Ely.
The food was great and the prices are fair. Nice little cafe. But there was only one older waitress and she couldn't keep up. It appeared that there were 3 people that were "working" in the kitchen that apparently could not be bothered to help the customers. The customers were fetching their own coffee and clearing there own tables.
Very good food there
As a minority, the people of Minnesota have treated us very kindly. We were always welcomed with a warm 'hello' and had never felt any type of racism or outright cruelty till we met Jackie. If Jackie did not wish to serve us, Jackie could've told us immediately. We would have kept quiet and eaten elsewhere. Fine. Whatever. Tower is a small town of 500 and maybe we seemed intimidating. But to let a customer willing to pay and wait for their food, leave hungry and humiliated is a shame. I hope that after reading this review, Jackie treats all of her customers with the same respect and love we have given and received from the lovely state of Minnesota.
Jackie. Jackie was our waitress. My 3 friends and I walk in at 11:55am and after a couple minutes, Jackie seats us near the entrance of the diner. Jackie brings us water and takes our order. So far, so good. Then the waiting. 30 min. 45 min. An hour. Customers in a group of 3 who came 20 minutes after us - sitting literally behind - have already gotten their food. Jackie walks past us to serve them, doesn't say a word. Jackie avoids eye contact at all times. Ok, maybe the stuffed hash browns are taking a while. 1:00pm. We walk up to Jackie and ask her what's taking so long. Jackie never placed the order. Well. Jackie asks us to wait 5 minutes. We wait. 1:20pm. No word from Jackie. We have tickets for the Soudan mine tour at 1:30pm. We politely tell Jackie that we're leaving. Hungry. Going on a 1.5 hour tour. Jackie, at least say sorry?... Nope. Jackie never apologized. Jackie's response? "ok".
Awesome breakfast! Blueberry pancakes, yum! Love them
