4.0* (out of 5)…read more Food: 4* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 3* Service: 4* 03/04/2023 We stopped here for dinner this weekend while staying at a house on Gull Lake and enjoyed our stop. From the outside, it had a large log-cabin type of appearance - but the strongest feature here was the atmosphere and the beautiful lighting and stone work that awaits you when you walk through the front door. It was truly an amazing visual experience to see! We started with a round of drinks. I had the Old Fashioned (see picture) and was honestly quite disappointed with it as it seemed to be nothing but straight bourbon and possibly a slight dash of bitters. My wife ordered a Margarita and both of us thought it tasted quite good. For dinner, my wife and I decided to split the 16 oz Ribeye (see picture) while she added the salad (see picture) and we shared the Popovers (see picture). I really liked the Popovers and the flavored butter that came with them. My wife enjoyed the flavor of the salad, but didn't like that it had to be cut at the table to eat it. The Ribeye was above average in flavor and was prepared as ordered - and the Cheesy Potatoes (see picture) were fantastic, so rich, creamy and delicious. Last but not least, we ordered a piece of Turtle Cheesecake (see picture) and that quite frankly was likely the highlight of my meal - I thought it was wonderful and would highly recommend that you end your meal with a piece of it yourself!

Hometown favorite for my husband. 9 of us stopped in last night and had drinks, beer, pizza and…read morepopcorn. I had a 6 pack pizza, 4 meats and 2 cheeses. Wonderful is all I have to say, super cheesy, plenty of meat and the sauce was great. Not sure of the brand of pizza but for frozen I give it a thumbs up. Drinks and beers are super cheap, comparing to Phoenix prices of course. The atmosphere is exactly what I want from a small town bar. Juke box playing, groups yapping and football on the TV's. Great service from bartender Mitchell. They sell beer sticks, which I'm an addict of and somehow I forgot to order some. Just an excuse to go back!!

We got there before the crowd arrived, but it definitely filled up closer to 530 or 6 o'clock. Upon entering, we were surprised at how open the space was. Like they could fit multiple extra tables in there if they potentially wanted to. There's a great bar space also that had a few people at it when we entered. We sat in a booth and our waitress came to us right away. She was super friendly and helpful. All of the food that we ordered was delicious. We got bruschetta, French onion soup, Grilled cheese and tomato soup, pasta carbonara. There wasn't a bad meal in the bunch! So glad that we took the recommendation and tried this place out. It's going to be on our list when we're up north next time. Definitely check out the bathrooms!

The homemade jumbo carmel rolls (to go) were a hit with the kids and were still warm when I got home. The server waited to have to heated up until I was ready to go to ensure they would be warm. It was a great touch. Based on the recommendation did the breakfast burrito. So glad that I did as it was a meal for 2 but filled with eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese, shredded hashbrowns, and maybe some grilled onions. Then topped with queso cheese sauce and the option for spicy or default homemade salsa. I did the spicy salsa on the side for my half and the regular salsa on the side to go for the other half. Definitely a burrito for two. When the bartender found out that this was my first visit she walked me thru the menu and the specials that are available on the weekend (limited quantities smoked ribs and beef brisket) So glad that a trusted voice recommended I give Sunshine's a try. Great food and great staff.
