Dinner came with salad, but very few actual vegetables to put on the pale lettuce. Dressings were not labeled and they didn't have oil & vinegar. We were initially excited that they had baked sweet potatoes on the menu, but they turned out to be really small and undercooked. We both ordered sirloins, and my husband's was medium rare and should have been medium well. Mine tasted just ok. I was still hungry after the meal, and I typically eat small portions. The draft beer and the service were the best parts! Prices too high for such a poor ambience and no free bread like you would see in a steak place or decent restaurant. Our kids did enjoy their kid meals but overall we were bummed to spend so much on a meal that was just mediocre.

I ordered the green curry with coconut milk, green chili paste, eggplant, Thai basil, and chicken. I also paid an additional $2.00 for extra chicken, but I did not receive any noticeable extra meat. The chicken itself was extremely tough and difficult to chew. The curry sauce was much thinner and more watery than I expected. I was hoping for a smooth, creamy sauce with a slightly thicker consistency. The eggplant was very mushy, and the texture was unpleasant for me. The exterior of the restaurant also left a poor first impression. The building, driveway, and signage made it difficult to tell whether the restaurant was even open for business. Mitchell could really benefit from more restaurants that offer diverse cuisine, and I hope this establishment can improve its food quality, customer service, and overall appearance because I'd like to see it succeed.

In the bar area, tables are large and seating is spacious, with a beautiful, elevated view of the lake through window walls. The dining room has more standard tables and spacing. There is wine and beer in bottles, with a reliable domestic selection. Stopped by for a noon meal, whatever you'd call it, on a Sunday, which has a limited menu compared to dinner/supper. What is there is done well. Burgers have large patties and fries are crisp. The wings are tender inside and crisp outside, with a mild spice but quite flavorful. Texas toothpicks are slivered, battered, and fried onions and jalapenos and are addictive. The cheese balls are battered and fried curds with just a bit of squeak and the right amount of saltiness, and the contrast in texture is so satisfying.

I highly recommend coming in for the Chicken Strip salad bar buffet served every other Monday. I'd also recommend the Hot Beef Combo served every Thursday. The cafe serves as the 60 plus cafe for the Carpenter area, but you don't need to be local to use this program. I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal at the Carpenter Cafe. The menu is limited to burgers, chicken strips, shrimp, fish sandwiches, fries, onion rings, cheese balls, and a few other off the grill items, no steaks are served. But Sherry can whip up just about anything you want, just let her know what you're hungry for and she'll do her best to satisfy you.

I used to be a regular here when I was a youngster. Granny would bring us to the cafe and we'd…read moreliterally walk behind the counter and stuff as much 3/$1 candy bars into our pockets as we could carry, then wash it all down with an ice cold Dr. Pepper, of which we paid for using the winning caps for free Dr. Peppers that were sitting by the cash register. Granny was already going to pay for it, but swiping one of those caps from right under Sherry's nose and then immediately redeeming it was quite the thrill. I rarely ate a meal here, but when I did, it was the chicken strips. I hear they have some sort of chicken strip salad bar these days that attracts folks from a 30-mile radius?! I didn't realize the cafe had come up with a marketing strategy! There was this one time, must have been the summer of 1998 or so, when the cafe's only employee had an appointment of some sort, and it was either they shut down for the afternoon (unheard of!) or me, a 15-year-old whose only food serving experience was throwing bales of alfalfa to lambs, and my 10-year-old brother would have to step in and take over. Now, to be fair, Sherry told us we could have all the soft-serve ice cream we wanted while we were working, but little did she know I could eat ALL of it. Like, I sucked the entire machine dry and then broke it trying to figure out what ingredients would make more ice cream. Someone eventually came in and wanted ice cream and I had to tell them I ate it all. Virtually no one else stopped in all day, thank heavens. But at 5:55, we were about to shut the place down without any major catastrophe, when some out-of-town trucker stopped in and ordered a hamburger and fries. Oh shit. Alex and I hadn't the faintest idea how to cook these things. We eventually found the ground beef and threw a massive 3-pound wad of beef on the fryer. Alex went in search of a bun and onion, but came back with only a potato. We decided to try to fool the man into thinking slices of potato were both the bun and onion. The man asked for a glass of milk. The only milk we could find had expired before I was born and came out in big gray chunks all over the table. I tried to cook fries but couldn't figure out how to warm up the grease, so I pushed the basket into the solidified grease to the best of my ability and there they sat, soaking up lukewarm lard. The man opted not to eat his bloody burger with uncooked potato slice, frozen grease fries, or squishy milk, but even so left us a $2 tip. He must have felt sorry for us. Another couple walked in about that time as well, but we were too distraught to remember what they might have ordered. The cafe has since changed locations and will probably live on for eternity. I can't honestly think of any other business that has had the same sole employee as long as I've been alive. Hats off to Sherry, I guess. She'd be due for a promotion if there were anything to promote her to.
