“Insula has become a favorite place for lunch in Ely. The menu is varied, and the lunch soup and sandwich is just the right size. I really like the Bahn Mi sandwich, probably my favorite. The atmosphere is quiet, which is very nice for conversation. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice place for lunch.”

“I'm always looking for a good biscuit and gravy option and Evergreen did not disappoint. In fact, it was one of the better biscuits and gravy I've had at a restaurant. So kudos to them! I didn't try the chicken Florentine one of the previous nights and it was pretty decent too.”

“Nice place with great food. Salads were great, but needed knives. I wish the staff would take a bit more time putting salads together. The greens were huge, tomatoes whole, and onions in large slices. We needed to use our knives to cut everything.”

“I stopped at Ely DQ for a quick lunch to go. The lady working Drive through, Amanda, was very polite and friendly. She even noticed something wrong with my order and had the cook fix it before giving me my food, which I appreciate, as I often have to return for missing or wrong orders being on specialized diet with some allergies and sensitivities, but she was on the ball. Kudos to Amanda for actually paying attention to her customers!”

“When I first saw the name of this place I was somewhat resolved not to go there. I hated that name. I've been there a few times now, and I have to say their food is some of the best. I normally have the spinach and strawberry salad, but the last time I ordered their smashburger. AMAZINGLY GOOD! I didn't enjoy the din from the TV sets all over the place, making conversation hard. I highly recommend the food and service here.”

“No wait on a Thursday before 5. Ordered 3 different medium house specials. Lots of booths for various sizes of people. Nice big windows overlooking Sheridan st for people watching. Busy part of town for sure. 60th wedding anniversary today of a local couple. Wish we where getting Sir G's... Better than no choice for fresh pizza. The thin crust was best.”

“Absolutely loved the food and service! Our party of 6 all ordered something different and we all raved about our meals. Highly recommend the meatloaf, walleye, fish sandwich and the Philly.”

“a fun place to relax and meet friends. love the stories and the owners are great”
