BEST donuts! So many yummy donuts here, the coconut is a household favorite for us. They are surprisingly large and filling. They also freeze well! Remember to bring cash. They do not accept card. $1.50/donut.

3 piece fried chicken

One of the few restaurants in the area that has a 4 stars rating. So we tried the fried chicken and fried perch they were ok, breading is fairly decent it comes with 2 sides I picked coleslaw and potato salad. We capped it with their peach crumble pie which was the best part. It was really good. Didn't try the donuts they didn't look inviting they also have ice creams by the scoop.

Coleslaw

Decided we were hungry and happened to see the patio restaurant first. Sort of classic menu, not really a specific type of food. Both ordered burgers. Not a lot of flavor but a solid place if you're just hungry and need a bite to eat. Coleslaw was good, a little strong, but the most flavor. Try adding seasoning to the french fries as a default option.

The chocolate frosted donut with coconut is top tier. The other breakfast options were hot, fresh and just as delicious!

Expensive deep fried food. Service is great, but the food is just OK and overpriced. I probably would not return.

Always stop by the patio for ice cream! Good serving spice and not too expensive always have to bring cash though.

4-stars for FANTASTIC donuts--but if you want soft-serve it seems to be creamier across the intersection.

Typical diner fare, nothing special but perfectly edible. Donuts are very, very good.

The daily special is very popular, and a Patio cheeseburger is almost as famous as a Patio donut.

Christmas Market If…read moreyou are looking for a unique Christmas experience for adults this is the place to come. We took a girls trip (many of us driving for over an hour) to meet up. The outside area has about 20 greenhouse style buildings set up that sell a variety of items from clothing to homemade pottery. The buildings are each heated and they have several fire pit areas along the paths to stay warm. If you want to eat inside you will need to make reservations in advance. Outside the offer stands with soup, sandwiches and wine. Fun experience and pictures look magical!

The Christmas Market was lovely and the venue is amazing! We have been to the wine tasting room a…read morecouple times and really enjoy the self serve sampling set up and the cozy atmosphere. But... last night we decided to have dinner after spending time at the Holiday Market and the dining experience was a huge disappointment. We waited over 10 minutes for a server to greet us and get our drink orders. 40 minutes after ordering, our server stopped by to tell us that our apps would be coming soon. The Walleye bites were good but not seasoned and the entrees were disappointing. I had a harvest salad which would have been lovely but the "dressing" tasted like it was made from extremely strong puréed onion and nothing else. At the end of the meal, we waited another 20 minutes for the check and after almost two hours, we paid $100 for poor service, a bowl of fried fish pieces, a cheeseburger, a bowl of mediocre bisque and a salad that was just awful. Not the experience that we hoped for! We will be back for the Christmas Market next year but I think we'll opt for another dinner option next time. I would rate the wine bar and Christmas Market 5 stars! Unfortunately, the dining experience was dismal and left us with a bad (and very oniony) taste in our mouths!
