About Sportsman Cafe

The Sportsman Cafe is a small, cozy neighborhood restaurant that has been a staple since the 1980s. It offers a wide variety of food selections at affordable prices, with large portions that keep customers satisfied. The cafe is known for its friendly, fun atmosphere and very good, homey food. In addition to delicious meals, it also sells clothing and merchandise.

The service at the Sportsman Cafe is excellent, with attentive servers who ensure customers have a great experience. Large groups are easily accommodated, as noted by a reviewer who mentioned their party of ten was handled with ease. The Friday night special of all-you-can-eat fish or shrimp for $9.99 remains a popular choice, served with sides like baked beans, coleslaw, and a dinner roll.

Customers consistently praise the food quality, with mentions of generous portions of French fries and the fantastic breakfast offerings that remind some of small-town cafes. One reviewer highlighted the "mountain of food" that left them full and satisfied, while others noted that the Philly with waffle fries is a favorite. The hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes also received high praise, with chunks of roast beef and homemade gravy. The overall atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, with many tables occupied during peak hours.

While the cafe is a local favorite that keeps customers coming back year after year, some have pointed out minor issues, such as the need for stronger coffee and limited bathroom facilities. Nonetheless, the Sportsman Cafe continues to impress with its great food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere.

The food and service was phenomenal!!! We’re stuffed and still had a to-go box! Highly recommend!!

Two years in a row I’ve stopped in on my way back from fishing up at Lake of the Woods. The best breakfast around!! Sportsman’s Cafe takes me back to my small home town in Illinois and a small cafe we had there. The food is amazing and you never run out of coffee! Lol
Hopefully next year will be the third time I’ll drop in.

Amazing food and service as aways!!!
