I have tried all of the restaurants here in town (steak and eggs) as well as some restaurants down in the Twin Cities and across the country during my travels. This place is rated #1 in my book not only for the quality of steak but the price as well! Then there's the omelettes they make. Really good! And probably the hidden gem of the breakfast menu is "The Stacker"! Awesome family diner and very happy that I live just down the road from them.

We had a bit of mixed reaction with our food. All of our main dishes were great! We tried the…read morechicken burger, the shrimp burger, and a chicken pesto sandwich. Both burgers were very tasty and the accompanying fries were fresh and tasty. The chicken was a little on the dry side but the pesto was great. The tater tot side upgrade was a bad choice. They were overdone and pretty awful. We all opted for desert and the pies were soooo good. The lemon cloud was so refreshing and the strawberry peach was sweet and tart. The carrot cake was good but the frosting was too sweet and lacked flavor. The service was quick but the servers have a lot of tables so the waitress was not overly friendly or inviting. We felt like we were a task and not a guest. Would we go back? Yes but.....I would order differently and stick with the things that they are best at.

The dining space feels a little more upscale and fancy, but the prices honestly aren't bad and there are plenty of good options on the menu. I ordered the 10 oz top sirloin with green beans and a loaded baked potato. The steak was cooked how I asked and definitely hit what I was craving. It was pretty good overall, though it got a little dry toward the end. I also tried the Brussels sprouts appetizer because it sounded interesting -- it came with a creamy balsamic, bacon, onions, and goat cheese, which made for a really unique combination. Others at the table ordered coconut shrimp, chicken strips, and fish & chips. The coconut shrimp seemed popular, although the dipping sauce had changed. Overall, this is a solid place to stop if you're in the Glenwood area or spending time on the lake. Nice atmosphere, good service and a beautiful view, and a menu with enough variety that there's something for everyone.
