★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 stacey welch · Mar 2026

We came up here snowmobiling, and this was the only restaurant open within about a 20-mile radius, so we stopped in for lunch. We ordered hamburgers medium-well and were told they would be served medium because the patties contain pork. We were surprised to learn the hamburgers are not 100% beef, and this was not clearly communicated on the menu. When the food arrived, it was extremely disappointing. It tasted awful, and we barely touched it, though we still paid for the meal. I ordered the Philly brisket sandwich, and my best friend later ended up with food poisoning. The bacon on the hamburger was especially bad — it tasted off and low quality. Overall, the food gave the impression that the grill and kitchen may not be properly maintained. We left a small tip to cover the drinks but d

Was looking forward to trying this place out after a long day riding snowmobiles but we ended up very disappointed. I ordered the Classic Rachel and the turkey was inedible. Very pink and fatty. Everything was over salted too. I wouldn’t recommend. 👎 I would rather not have food re ordered, my table was already eating and we had to wait a good 15 minutes for the food. If I send it back and wait for a new one everyone will be finished eating. You should get the meal correctly the first time.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Daniel Morsette · Jan 2026

The chicken bacon ranch wrap was disappointing. Very small portion of shredded cheese, brown lettuce, tiny bit diced bacon and popcorn chicken bits, that are mostly breading. Not an ounce of chicken in the whole wrap. Chicken nuggets from McDonalds would have been better. Even the pickle slices looked like they went through a meat grinder. Not worth the $15 price.

★★★★★ 5.0 Angela S · Jan 2026

We visited during winter season. Were seated quickly. Ordered a Reuben and Philly Cheesesteak. The seasoned fries were a hit.

Decent portions sizes. I wanted to love this place, but just found my omelette a bit bland tasting (didn’t say anything to server, so that’s on me). Hashbrowns were crispy, just the way they should be! I did not see a specialty coffee menu, which surprised me with the all day breakfast but did see a cocktail menu that looked decent. Server was very nice, but did not check on us until we flagged her down for the bill. I could tell from interactions with other servers though that they do their best to be kind to patrons- literally saw one helping a lady with a walker get into her booth which was incredibly kind. Will try lunch/dinner menu if we return. Posted picture of kids menu, as I did not see it on the website before we went.
