    I haven't reviewed Gustafson's?…read more Giving credit where credit is due, this was another Jane & Michael Stern find from the 2005 update of their classic book Roadfood. Man, do your remember travel books? If you find one in a used book store, pick it up. The classics stay classic. And speaking of the classics, Gustafson's is the real deal. Roadside gas station with a handful of smokers to transform the bounty of the great lakes into delicious succulent morsels of delight. If you don't know, I have what I affectionately call a fat-tooth. And the fish that swim in those frigid fresh water lakes develop such beautiful and silky fat. The lake trout especially! Gustafson's isn't fancy. Walking in the door you may ask yourself, "This is it?". But when you tear open your pouch of smoked lake trout, and pull the meat off the bones with your fingers, with a little of that fat dripping down your arm and chin, you'll say to yourself, "Yeah, this is it." This is a required stop anytime I'm up in the UP. Last visit they were out of the whitefish, but so it goes. And looking back on the listing in Roadfood, the Sterns mentioned seeing smoked menominee in the case, but I've never noticed it before. I'll have to ask next time I'm up. Sure, you can get the salmon. I imagine it's delicious. The Gustafson's crew are great at smoking and salmon takes smoke well. But I say go for the local stuff. Get out of your comfort zone and buy a whole whitefish. Don't fret about heads and bones. Don't worry that you won't finish it (there is a bunch of negative space inside, they aren't as big as they look). You've got this. I believe in you!

    Great small store, excellent selection of smoked fish, Jerky, cheese etc. reasonably priced and…read morevery friendly knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be back.

    The directories will tell you this address is Burt's Market, but the sign outside reads "Pat &…read moreGary's II Party Store." This is a convenience store, which also contains "Kel's Kitchen & Deli." This place puts out some awesome grinders! You'd never know it just driving by -- the place looks like just a simple party store -- but we had a hot tip from another business (the quilt shop up the road) that this place was good for lunch. Wearing dirt bike attire, you would be out of place at a sit-down restaurant, but this place has a pizza kitchen along with a party store, and there is a bench around the corner in the shade (near the hydroponics store, man!) where you can set up shop and have lunch. Back to the grinders... The bread is delish. It crackles! You have your choice of fillings. They also make pizza at this place, so a grinder is basically a pizza sandwich. These grinder things were so huge, each of us could barely eat ours, but they were soooo good, we exerted a special effort. We were happy to be overstuffed, but since we were riding our dirt bikes that day, we really should have split one grinder between the two of us. On successive visits, we have ordered just a HALF sandwich and split that. It has been plenty. Stopping for lunch here is the highlight of this particular dirt bike loop that we like to frequent in the Indian River area. Definitely go there if you love warm bread and melty, savory sandwich fillings. You won't be disappointed! There is a 75 cent charge for using a credit card.

    I asked for sauce on the side got none of course they gave me now banana peppers at all. Tried to…read moreget an antipasto salad they said it was in the fridge my husband picked it up nope not in the fridge they sent a rotini salad. Not happy at all.
