★★★★★ 5.0 Patrick Kolias · Nov 2025

Great breakfast stop for a road trip up north. The restaurant has a very cute rural atmosphere with a cute shop. Their breakfast is awesome. Highly recommend the Benedict! Their omelettes and hash dishes were also a hit. Perfect stop for a classic breakfast on your next trip up north.

A must stop restaurant on a drive up along the North Shore! Great home cooked food served with a smile. Atmosphere is up north/woodsy and the cuisine is cafe style comfort food. The housemade potato chips are delicious. I highly recommend the pork tenderloin sandwich!! Burgers are good too. Note: service charge is applied when using a credit card. Plenty of parking and direct access off hwy 61.

During our trip to the North Shore, we had the chance to try this restaurant for lunch. It's truly an incredible place located conveniently by the highway at Two Harbours. The staff are warm and welcoming, offering a wide variety of delicious options, and creating a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. We especially appreciated their beautiful outdoor seating, which allowed us to enjoy the surrounding views while we ate. Inside the restaurant, there’s also a charming pie shop—both indoors and outdoors—that offers some of the best pies we’ve ever tasted. We really recommend giving it a try; it’s a place that makes you feel cared for and at home.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Shelly Sarrazin · Oct 2025

I was really looking forward to coming here after reading all the rave reviews about their food—especially the pie. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. We arrived at 10:35 AM, only to find that many of the pies were already sold out. We had planned on breakfast, but the hostess told us it would be a 35-minute wait, which meant breakfast would be over by the time we were seated. There was no mention of breakfast hours on their website or menu, so I assumed it was served until at least noon—or maybe all day. The lunch menu didn’t sound nearly as appealing, but we decided to stay. We ordered the roast beef with mashed potatoes and the BBQ bacon cheeseburger with tater tots. The roast beef was tender but completely lacking in flavor, and the mashed potatoes were the

★★★★★ 5.0 Maria Petrovich · Oct 2025

Everything here is delicious, best pie I've ever had in my life. Recently drove back here (I love 6 hours away) just for the pie. It normally has an hour wait time and you have to be in person to get put on the list, but to us very very worth it. Would recommend bringing something to do while waiting, there's seating outside and they'll come outside to get you when your table is ready. Staff are always extremely friendly. My husband and I love this place. The cherry peach crumble and the Caramel Apple pecan crumble are my favorite pies, while my husband's favorite isn't pie but their deliciously moist carrot cake.
