Friendly staff, fast delivery of the food to table, good size portions. Definitlynfoing to come back. Cheese curds were really good, as well as the chicken wrap.
MAN OH MAN. If you drive past this joint you better hit a u-turn, haha we did! Best decision of the day. We were in search for fish fry but we couldn’t drive to duluth or grand marais so with disappointment brewing we just drove home. On the drive i saw this place looked busy but didn’t think much of i, we drove by this big lake (millacs) i thought theres gotta be fish around here. Searched for one, found a couple with bad reviews, then spotted this one. Great reviews not far drive so we headed back. I couldn’t believe it was the place i saw on the way. Got in asked if there was fish fry “only fridays” how sad i got, but looked on the menu there walleye your choice of grilled, panfried, or deep-fried. Chose deep fried ooooh did that fill my craving. Forgot to take a picture, perfectly crispy, seasoned well, AND still moist on the inside. Oh i cant forget about the sweet potato fries, ordered extra crispy! And they have siracha, surprised us. There coleslaw is made fresh and lightly seasoned. The servers are very friendly even the people dining in. The restrooms are well kept. All in all this place is now in our go to stop on the way home.
We stopped today for an early dinner. We were greeted when we came in which is always nice. We ordered a chicken basket which was tender and juicy. We also ordered a soup and salad meal the salad was fresh and tasty the soup was Hungarian mushroom one of the best I've had. We also had bread pudding with whiskey sauce also delicious. Servers were very friendly. Definitely recommend.
Very good food, very friendly and very clean. I ordered hamburger w/fries, husband ordered cheeseburger w/fries and daughter ordered bacon cheeseburger w/fries...everything was perfect and very good. Waiter we had was nice and friendly. He was great. I recommend stopping if anyone is in the area.
