Tickets are $10 for everyone above the age of 12. Kids are free to participate. All of the proceeds are split evenly between the musicians and a local charity. This year’s chosen charity is Boys & Girls Club of Glacier County. The men and women of this organization worked tirelessly to help the children of the community throughout the Pandemic, and now they are able to return their services to the Evergreen school system. What a wonderful way to start the 2021 school year! Let’s help them by showing our love and support. Get you tickets – HERE.

May I Recommend The Sykes Breakfast Menu?

So, recommendations….anything on the menu you will enjoy. Whether you decide on the Teddy Bear Pancakes decorated just as expected or maybe the Cowboy Steaks & Eggs is more your style, everything is absolutely wonderful. Gluten Free Waffles, Eggs Benedict, Biscuits & Gravy, or even something as scrumptious as a Fresh Cinnamon or Caramel Roll….. These are just few more items to consider on their very extensive menu. Price is always a consideration but at Sykes the price is just right, especially the $0.10 coffee during the Early Bird Special from 7am until 9am. The biggest problem most guests find is not the selection, taste or price, but simply what to choose. The solution is simple, come regularly and often until you have tried everything. This is the only way you can really be sure you have experienced the best of Sykes Breakfast.
