Finding restaurant food in northern MN on Mondays and Tuesdays can be tough as many are closed, but…read moreCedarwood is one open all week. We stopped in for breakfast and it was delicious. They have all the regular options and I chose the two piece French toast with bacon. Their bacon was so good. Cooked perfectly, it was a bit thicker but not so thick that it so chewy. Pieces bit off cleanly and it had a rich flavor. French toast was equally delicious. I could taste a hint of egg in the bread, which was thicker than normal bread. So good. Staff was great. The other cool thing is they went all out on Halloween. Decorations galore. They had a skeleton family eating at a table. They had a hall or terror going to the restroom. They also had a miniature Halloween village where people added rocks with memorials of their loved ones as tombstones throughout the village. Very cool.

The owner was working and she was chatty. I learned about her family and told her about visiting all the Mn State Parks and she was a delight. She had her granddaughter with her who was also so friendly. There were some tables for hanging around. Loved the little flower pots on the tables. Nice cozy vibe. Lots of local crafts for sale. My latte is was delicious. I also got a homemade blueberry scone with lemon frosting. So good. Perfect way to start my day.

I have stopped here twice on my way through Isle. Both times it was really good. Today I had a…read moreMemphis style bbq chicken sandwich with chips. It was a big sandwich on a soft bun, all for $11. The last time I went through McDonald's while passing through Mora it was $15. The sandwich I had today was fresh, smoked right here, without preservatives. The owners (I'm only assuming they're the owners) who waited on me were exceptionally nice. I'd rather keep my money local. I have a cabin not terribly far away. I'll be back. FYI, they're mainly a meat market, so they only have a few sandwiches for sale. Don't expect a full menu. The other option today was a pulled pork with cheese.

Overall good - 3.5 stars…read more I caught up with this food truck at the Tractor Supply spring garden event in Elk River. The food was good and the portions were generous. The refried beans in my burrito bowl were cold, which I didn't appreciate. But everything else was good. I like the variety of beverages too. (A lot of food trucks skimp on this.) I grabbed a Jarritos guava flavored soda. After I left, I wished I had tried the interesting Manzanita Sol apple flavored soda. I'll definitely grab one of those next time. This is a family run operation and everyone was very friendly. I always favor a family owned business versus a big corporate place. This isn't a food truck that I'd seek out. But it hits the spot if you're in the area and in the mood for some savory Mexican style food. And it's definitely a great choice if you're very hungry. -Maxx

If you're looking for the cutest winery near the twin cities, DeCorsa is it!…read more Betty and Mike who own/ run the winery were beautiful hosts and the wines were top notch! This was supposed to be a quick stop for us but we ended up spending hours chatting and playing board games with Betty! Brownie points to them for have a winery puppy. 15/10 for puppy kisses at DeCorsa! We can't wait to go back and we left feeling like we hung out with a couple of friends! It was a huge bonus that their wine was yumm!!

I had such a unique experience at this winery that it was hard to know what to rate it. There were…read moresix of us that scheduled an appointment to visit on the day of New Year's Eve. When we arrived the place looked closed and we weren't sure what to make of it. When we came into the space it was very dark and it remained dark the entire time we were there which I thought was odd. But the winery is powered by solar panels which I thought was cool! But I swear it must've been 50 degrees inside the building because half of us were freezing. It also looked like a lot of the decorations were incredibly old and outdated and hadn't been dusted in a long time. The woman that helped to service us was very nice and personable and I thought we had a good time talking to her and her husband. They told us a lot about the winery and how the community helps to keep it running. I've never been to such a small winery like this one so it was nice to hear how they keep it running! The wine: the reason why im not giving this a lower star rating is because of how good the wines and prices were. For less than ten dollars you can sample 5 wines and they let us pair up and share tastings so we could try them all! I loved each wine and they all tasted unlike any other wines I've ever tasted. Very fruity and fragrant and delicious. :) Overall I think if the owners added more lights and cleaned up the decorations this place could easily jump from a 3 to a 4!
