Norske Nook - Rice Lake

Stopped for lunch on a Saturday. First snowfall of the season was the night before and starting with a hot chocolate seemed like the thing to do. Served at just the right temperature to drink without burning and not overly sweet. Nice start! Next up was the lunch combo. Thick slices of turkey on their cranberry rice bread, lightly griddled but not greasy. Add some havarti and a compound mustard on the side and this is a very good sandwich. The chili that accompanied was mild and decent, just not my style. Last item of the visit was their apple-lingonberry pie. When you charge $5 for a slice of pie, it better deliver! Their version was a bit on the tart side and very well executed. Easily the best bite and I really enjoyed my sandwich.

Love there lefse wrap with egg, sausage and hash browns. But their raspberry cream cheese pie is awesome

I had only been to the osseo location, this one was so much bigger, and very quiet when we got there after 10a.m. Breakfast was great, pie to go was also perfect. I love all of the variations of berry pie!

Lovely family, ethnic restaurant whose menu features both wonderful Norwegian fare as well as your typical American fare... all very delucious with a homemade touch to it. The pies, though, are what bring this wonderful place into national noteriety. Numerous times have they won national pie competitions for best pies in the US, recently, 4th overall in the nation. The hollandaise smothered lefse wrap was a delight, and their pancakes were ginormous and very tasty. Our grandkids loved the place as well.

I went here for the very first time today 12/13. They need to send all the turtle cookies to me in Illinois. The lingenberry cream pie was so delicious that it too needs to be shipped to Illinois. The front of the store was so inviting with unique Norwegian items . I bought 3 jars of lingenberry jam and several other cookies. If you ever get to go you will not be disappointed. The front of store worker Linus was very accommodating with my multiple purchases.
