After a three hour kayak trip to Turnip Rock, we were desperate for some ice cream to refuel. We…read moreheard about the large scoops of homemade ice cream at Grindstone General Store and headed over immediately. When we arrived, we saw a huge line out the door, with cars parked all along the road down probably around a quarter mile. That seemed promising! As you enter building, you snake through some of the eclectic goods the store sells - things like custom made chess sets, cute cartoon character and fish shaped soaps, etc. It looks like all of the good being sold are local or at least from Michigan. You'll have plenty of time to browse, since it takes almost 30 minutes from setting foot in the shop to actually reaching the front of the line. It's actually overall pretty well organized. There are two doors on the exterior of the store, but they removed the outside handle on one of the doors so it can only be used as an exit. The shop mainly serves Stroh's ice cream, but they have a tub or two of Guernsey Dairy, and a freezer of ten home made flavors. Of course, we had to get the homemade ice cream only. Please note that the owner can be kind of gruff - before you get to the counter, make sure to know exactly what cone, size, and flavors you want. I don't think they offer any samples. Two Scoops in a Cup ($4.25 first scoop, $2.25 second) - They certainly aren't lying about having giant scoops of ice cream! They actually have a display up showing that a scoop is softball sized with a 14oz volume. That's basically like a pint by itself. We decided to get two flavors in a cup: Horchata and Black Raspberry Bugaboo. The horchata is rich, creamy and filled with vanilla and cinnamon. The ice cream is premium (but I wouldn't say it's super premium) with generally low overrun and higher butterfat, giving a delicious creamy mouthfeel. The sweetness is perfect for ice cream - it's sweet but not achingly so. There are a small amount of ice crystals that formed around some of the cinnamon, but it was only a very small amount and not detrimental enough for me to drop my score. (5/5) The Black Raspberry Bugaboo tastes very artificial. It takes the flavor of raspberry and amps it up to 300% so that it's very sweet with a heavy artificial tart flavor. It's studded with chocolate cups that are filled with maraschino cherry type of flavor as well, and mixed with ribbons of Hershey's chocolate fudge. Not my favorite flavor of ice cream (I was expecting this to be natural raspberry), but I can see it appealing to some. (3/5) There's a choice of sugar cone, waffle cone ($1.25 up charge), or plastic cup. We opted for the cup for two reasons: the sugar cone doesn't look like it can contain the amount of ice cream they serve, and it looks like they get their waffle cones premade from Jagger Cone. The waffle cones come with a paper holder with a flare around to catch any ice cream drips. If you want to enjoy their homemade ice cream at home, they do sell prepacked quarts in a freezer. I wish there was an option for smaller scoops; while I managed to finish two scoops with my partner, I saw many others whose eyes were bigger than their stomachs and ended up having to throw out most of their ice cream. In fact, we saw large piles of ice cream sitting in the nearby trash can. What a waste of food. Bathrooms - Single porta potty outside Overall rating of the food this visit: 4/5

So there's Cafe 53 and Hazel's by Cafe 53. At 7 AM on a Saturday, Cafe 53 was closed so we went to…read moreHazel's. The food was very fresh, very good, and very reasonably priced. Upon check out we asked the hostess and she let us know that both are owned by the same people, similar breakfast menus but varying lunch menus. To re-iterate, since Hazel's isn't on yelp, this is a positive review for breakfast at Hazel's by Cafe 53.

The eggs came out hard with cheese on top, the bacon was too crispy and the hashbrowns were burnt in places. I ate half the bacon and half the hashbrowns.

By far the best burger that I've had here ( and considering my praise for Beachy's burger, that is high praise indeed). Not the traditional "cheeseburger", the Old Glory burger is exceptional.

They were really easy to find while driving down the road, and they also have a nice large parking lot, and clean bathroom facilities available. Also, the staff was fantastic and friendly, they made us feel really welcomed. Unfortunately it was raining when we first arrived, so we played some games before grabbing some ice cream snacks. My youngest was thrilled that they even had non-dairy ice cream options, she feels so special when places are considerate of those with allergies. They had a nice outdoor seating area, with half being under a roof so we didn't get rained on. After eating, the weather had cleared, so we began our putt putt adventure. The greens, and surrounding areas, were all really well maintained. We genuinely had a lot of fun, and we will definitely make another visit when back in town.

I wish that the menu had more options, it was only chicken related foods or burgers and salads for an entree which really isn't inclusive for all. The service was the worst part. We did get seated right away, but there were so many random people besides our waitress coming to our table which just felt unorganized. We ordered 2 sides of sauces for our burgers and when one of the girls dropped off our food she said she'd be right back with them and then no one came to our table after that. Then we were waiting to eat our burgers and we could see the waitress going to different tables but not approaching us and we couldn't flag her down. I ended up having to get up and walk all the way to the back of the restaurant to get attention from anyone and finally get our sauces. The service was just very unorganized and we didn't feel cared for.
