The cutest little boutique I stumbled upon while in Door County! And bonus: It's also an art…read moregallery and studio, so you can wander around and look at the artist's works in progress. The artist and owner of Turtle Ridge Gallery, Mary Ellen Sisulak, makes a lot of the items in the boutique. You'll can purchase her leather handbags, accessories, home decor and wearable art. She also sells goods from local artists and artisans around the area. My favorite part of my visit was seeing what Mary Ellen was working on in her studio, and hearing about her inspiration for her art pieces. I noticed that a lot of her art included dragonflies, and she had mentioned that the area is home to one of the most dense populations of dragonflies in the country. I love that she pulls inspiration from her surroundings in Door County.

A hidden piece of cultural gem in Northern Door County, Turtle Ridge Gallery boasts a unique array…read moreof nature-themed original artwork, a beautifully manicured outdoor garden, and a lovely little boutique showcasing a variety of pieces from local as well as out-of-state artists. We especially appreciate the beautiful butterfly mixed-media artwork featuring a synthesis of natural elements and a unique multi-layered painting technique. Worth visiting if you are in the area and looking for a little cultural excursion to complement your back-to-nature getaway!

If you're visiting Door County, you simply HAVE to experience Al Johnson's! This Sister Bay icon…read morehas been part of my Door County trips since I was in high school, and all these years later, I still love coming back. Yes, you're probably going to wait for a table -- just expect it and enjoy the experience! Once you're seated and place your order, though, the food comes out amazingly fast. You can't go wrong with the authentic Swedish pancakes and lingonberries, and I think you get a great meal for the price. I also tried the Swedish Sangria made with Brut, Swedish Glogg & Fruit this time, and it was tasty! And then there are the famous goats on the grass-covered roof! Unfortunately, we arrived a little too late in the day and apparently the goats had already called it quits. We even walked around back looking for them! No goats, but we did get to see their little staircase leading up to the roof. Next time, we'll have to get there earlier! Whatever you do, don't leave without visiting the gift shop aka Butik! Give yourself some time because there is SO much to look at -- Door County souvenirs, clothing, ornaments, home decor, gifts and plenty of Al Johnson's goodies to take home. We loaded up on Swedish pancake mix, cinnamon sugar, Door County cherry jam and gifts for family and friends. I think I spent almost 45 minutes in there! After coming here for more years than I'm going to admit, Al Johnson's is still one of those quintessential Door County experiences. Come for the Swedish pancakes, look for the goats, browse the gift shop and enjoy a little piece of Door County tradition.

The food is good to average. The atmosphere is mixed: fun Swedish decor, but a very rushed,…read morefast-paced environment. This will not be a sit down and enjoy your meal experience. This is a We're-the-big-shots-in-town--aren't-you-so-lucky-you-get-to-dine-here?-Now-hurry-up experience. The service was rushed and the manner of the hostesses where you come in and where you pay is abysmal. No, really. I've never felt more like cattle in my life. The sour, amazingly unfriendly hostesses act annoyed you're even there the moment you walk in. No smile. No greeting. Only "What do you want? Stand there. Come this way." My wife apparently stepped too far past the host station and instead of, "I can take care of you there," the woman--without speaking a word and with a very annoyed expression on her face--walked in my wife's path and virtually pushed her in the direction she needed to be. After being rushed through our average meal, the person taking our money (all Al Johnson's wants) asked nothing about our meal, said no friendly word, made no eye contact, said no "enjoy your day" or "thanks for stopping in," only silently took the receipt and acted like it was an unwelcome interruption that I dared to even be standing there. I've been coming here since the mid-90s and wow has it changed. This place made their name with the Swedish pancakes and goats on the roof. They don't care anymore and they don't need to. You are a dollar sign and they will continue to be packed regardless. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. If you want a Door County classic, go to Julie's Cafe in Fish Creek. They're super friendly there and they aren't too big for their britches. Al Johnson's is a washed up, sub-par tourist attraction, one we will never be going back to nor recommending to anyone.
