My husband and I had a great, take out breakfast yesterday! The roast beef and corn beef skillet were both delicious. The gravy on top was really good. The fruit bowl that came with the pancakes was a good portion size and had lots of variety for our toddler. We’ve been to Dingman’s one other time for dinner and that was also delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes!

Walleye dinner, half fish was cold and supposed to be parmesan crusted… mush. Broccoli half hot half cold. Weird taste.. Tells me its a microwaved dinner… all for $26. Nope.

We ate here yesterday for the first and last time. My friend left a Google review about our poor food, long wait for food and terrible experience. The owner promptly replied attacking my friend personally. In all my experience in the service business, I have never read or heard a business owner reply in such a way to a customers comments. This is a sure fire way to lose business! Every customer should be treated as a restaurant reviewer as you have no idea if they are one or not!...read full review
