Little Crane Cafe - Vader

We visited this restaurant twice during our trip to Vader. I ordered pancakes and sausage on both occasions. The sausage links were outstanding, and the pancakes were quite large! On our second visit, I added strawberries to my pancakes. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. While the service on the first day was adequate, it wasn't very friendly. However, our server on the second day was warm and made us feel welcome. We would definitely return if we're in the area again.

I live in Texas, but my girlfriend is in Washington, so whenever I visit her (or when I'm there for work), this is my favorite breakfast spot. I've explored many restaurants within a 20-mile radius, and I always find myself returning here. If you're traveling from I-5 and worry it might be a bit out of the way, trust me, the drive is definitely worthwhile.

The food here is always incredible. The service was excellent as well. Even though the place was crowded, our meals arrived at our table quickly and they were still hot.

Just another place waiting to die the same death as every other greasy spoon. Same fare as Papa Bear up the freeway, or any other similar. The only decent bite to eat in a 50 mile radius can be found at a burger stand or Mexican restaurant. (Dairy Bar, Dairy Dan's, Betty's, Bill and Bea's, Harold's, Eagan's Big Tom etc) (Plaza Jalisco, Guadalajara, Tacos El Rey). But, if you insist on the diner experience, you can expect Sysco Industrial Foods fare, or sometimes Costco. The sort of stuff you can make at home, probably better. Think biscuits poured from Krusteaz mix in to a cake pan. It may taste ok if you're starving hungry or if you're a heavy smoker. Source: 25+ year resident of the area.

Food was always good when Della made it. Now that's she's gone, food quality will suffer. They let the best cook in the county go. Their loss, someone else's gain. Great place to work, as long if you're dating the owner. Won't see me and at least a dozen other people in there ever again. Enjoy you're canned soup. It's not handmade anymore.
