This is my favorite place to dine! My favorite is coming in for a Friday fish fry, getting the salad bar and then choosing from one of the delicious cheesecake options. The staff does an exceptional job. The owners are kind and personable. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable.

Friday fish fry is very popular for good reasons. The fish is very tasty. They do start running out of specials early. The bluegill was out by 5:20, the cod by 5:35, and the walleye by 5:45pm. Luckily, the perch was excellent. We went back the next night for pizza, which the four of us loved. Service was quick and very friendly. I highly recommend.
