Skal recently refreshed their menu and it was so tempting that we didn't make it past the "Light…read moreDelights" and "Crunchy Stuff." This secret spot is our go to whenever we cross paths with the Perham and Detroit Lakes area. Per usual, they had a fantastic selection on tap. The atmosphere is casual and the air conditioning is crisp and cool. Now about these new menu items... one thing to keep in mind about Skal standards is that they make everything in house. The cucumber topping, the marinated mozzarella, the mushroom Tartine, and the tomato dill relish are all made on location with love. That means the cucumbers are zesty, the mozzarella is unforgettable, the mushrooms are an umami festival and the tomato relish is a surprise party of flavor!! None of these are your ordinary "stuff on toast" small plates. Again, after tasting all of these, we didn't have room for entrées. So naturally, we went to the crunchy stuff menu and ordered the Minnesota Nachos. They make the potato chips in house daily. It would be easy for them to just buy potato chips, but no, that is not good enough for their patrons. Then, after they make these wonderful potato chips, they pile them up with cheese and goodness and offer them with a side of garlic dill dip (which will want to take a pint of it home with you and the good news is that you can because that is also on the menu.) If flavors and great beer aren't reason enough, come for the great service! The owners and staff here are so great and friendly and tentative to the needs of everyone who stop by. A couple of tips for an amazing visit... Do call ahead to make sure they are open and do come early because they get packed (and you don't want them to run out of those awesome potato chips before you get there.)

Love the new boat bar in the boathouse addition. They had a girl singing with a beautiful voice. Great atmosphere. My only complaint is I hate when a straw is put in my water. Offer it but don't put it in. Very small complaint. And bus the table before you bring the bill. Hate looking at dirty dishes Also I informed the waitress the bathroom was a mess and she just said they hadn't had a chance all day and the girl that was supposed to do it quit showing up. ‍

It's got great seating both inside and out. And the staff is very helpful and friendly. I ordered the vegetarian shepherds pie this time around. It's a clever, take on a regular shepherds pie, with a vegetarian filling instead of meat. Part of me wishes that it was served to look more like a pie rather than spread out on a plate. But it was still very tasty and I would recommend.
