THUNDER CAFE

Thunder Cafe will close on Sunday, October 4 at 10PM through Saturday, October 10 at 6AM.

If there were doors, they'd be open wide to welcome you to Thunder Cafe. But there aren't any - we're always open!

Enjoy all your favorites - from classic Eggs Benedict to the Sourdough Frisco Burger or the California Cobb Salad, as well as some flavor-packed new items. You'll swoon over our Pizza Station, where fresh pizza pies and Italian favorites are meticulously prepared and baked in our custom 625° oven. Eat at the counter, or take something to go. Don't forget to browse our fresh-baked desserts and snacks at the pastry counter.
