Beautiful, historic mansion serving excellent food. Salmon with dill cream sauce was delicious. My companions had steak, shrimp, and ribs. Everyone was very happy in every respect.

This place is a hidden gem. Excellent food and prices. Their normal pancakes are the size of a hubcap!

This restaurant was recommended to us by the manager at another restaurant. She said it was a long time area favorite! Interesting menu. Kylie, our waitress, was very attentive, couldn't ask for anyone better!

We decided to try this place based on positive Google reviews. 😍❣️ The restaurant was packed, which was a good sign. Unfortunately, they were out of Country fried steak, part of the reason we personally selected. 😭

I opted for the fisherman’s breakfast with walleye. It was a basic breakfast with eggs, toast, hash browns and two walleye fillets. I requested crispy hashbrowns on both sides, and our waitress suggested deep-fried, it was very good❣️ However, the walleye was overdone.

My wife had the breakfast sandwich with bacon, my Daughter opted for the country shoe (country fried steak), and our son-in-law had a breakfast wrap. Aside from the overcooked walleye, our food was good. I would recommend trying. They were accommodating with a great laid back feel and cool atmosphere. Next time I hope they have the Country Fried Steak, that’s my Fav. 😂 ✌🏻🙏🏼💪
