    First time here. Nice place, our server Bev was spot on without being overwhelming. Don't think they had the heat on inside, thank god we'd dressed warm for a chilly, damp U.P. day. Started out with the hush puppies and pimiento cheese, very nice flavor and an ample order. Each in our party ordered the Carolina Pork sandwich. Was a healthy portion but think they forgot to add the bbq sauce. Was tasty and flavorful but would have better with sauce. Got the coleslaw as a side, that too was tasty. The sweet tea was delicious, not overly sweet. I'm pushing a 4 star rating...want to go back and try their brisket...maybe 5 stars after that.

    The food here was fantastic and it was a sunny warm day so we sat out on the deck. Highly recommend! Waitress very friendly.

    Great vibe

    Worth a stop! Delicious food and smoked perfection! Friendly service and cute atmosphere.

    Really cute and trendy place in Crystal Falls. Was traveling through for work and was surprised to find this place. Food was really really good and they were very accommodating when I asked to make things vegetarian vs the menu option. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

    My boss and i were in the area doing campaigning and while we were knocking doors all we could smell was Curious Pigs. We ordered hushpuppies as an appetizer and they were half frozen. I got the smoked sausage and ribs which was a little warm when I got it and only got 6 small pieces of sausage, they flavor was alright though. The portions were small for the price you pay. My boss got the chili and said it was pretty decent.

    Who knew the UP had such good BBQ. Plenty of burgers and pasties to be found in the area so this was a very pleasant surprise. It's a quaint little older home that is not a restaurant. Our GPS had us a few blocks in the wrong direction but we drove around until we found it. I'm sure glad we did. The burnt end, bacon was really good. The ribs were seasoned well and the mashed potatoes had plenty of the good stuff to make it taste amazing without gravy. The star for me was the moist brisket. It's hard to get amazing brisket with good bark that's not too dry. I didn't even need sauce but did sample a few. I'd recommend this place if you live in the area or are just passing through.

The service was great and the ambiance is very homey. Worth it, nice gem in the forrest. Coffee was great I got the blue lotus and their baked goods and breakfast sandwich were solid. Their Greek toast was also good. Give this place a try!

    Overall, I find this place unfortunately disheartening. Since Buddhism teaches to do no harm to any…read moreliving being, a place called Buddha Bean had me expecting an oasis of plant-based food. Within Buddhism there is an emphasis on compassion which entails empathetic concern and a desire to alleviate the suffering of others, acknowledging the interconnectedness of all sentient beings. Yet the menu is full of the secretions and flesh of many sentient beings who suffered a murderous death. I expected better from a place that invokes Buddha in their name. There are a couple vegan sandwich options and you can get plant-based milk for an upcharge. This is nice when compared to other dining options around here, but I do wish it lived up to its name. Last time I was there, on the in-person menu it states smoothies automatically come with honey. This isn't noted on the online menu for every smoothie. Ordering online you're unable to make the smoothies vegan because there's no option to say no honey. Also, the sandwich called The Cali does not currently have its ingredients listed when you order online, but I think it is vegan too.

That is the one caution is to be prepared for eating ice cream and smelling the odors of a farm. The ice cream is very good, and there was plenty of seating space for everyone who wanted to sit and eat including some hammock-like seats. After eating the food, you can look at the displays, and climb on the tractors. It is a unique chance to have dessert and a show.

They also had a mechanical bull you could ride, which was super fun. The location was awesome too because they had a mini silo that they made into a stairwell that led into the top of the ice cream barn. Upon entering the ice cream barn it was so cute. They had such nice details throughout and even the bathrooms were painted like a cow. They had a large selection of cedar crest ice cream as well as homemade popcorn. Prices were fantastic! Portions were large. Probably why there was such a big crowd when we got there. I will definitely be back when visiting to try more flavors. Loved the entire experience and wished we had an Ice Cream Barn like this around where I live!!

The bakery is amazing and it would be hard to select what to taste, except that I was a woman on a mission. I stopped in the week before Fat Tuesday. Placing the order was easy and took only moments to complete. I returned for Mardi Gras and the bakery was understandably busier. There were folks that failed to plan ahead, so their paczki pleasure was impacted. Me, I walked in, the same helpful person was retrieving orders and I picked up my pre-paid dozen quickly. The paczki were amazing and brought me right back to Michigan. The paczki we had in MN were good, but they aren't the same. And I've honestly never had paczki that were SO filled. And the fillings were so fresh, so perfectly balanced with the pastry. We tried six varieties (oof, yeah!) and loved them all. The prune paczki is an easy favorite, being traditional, but that Bavarian Cream was sublime. I was completely spoiled. It was fun that my first visits here were for 'holiday shopping,' which makes me look forward to coming back and trying more yummy baked items!
