You can even order a bloody mary while you wait. The bloody mary was fabulous! Practically a meal itself. Really good mix and lots of garnish! I had the Wild Rice and Ham Omelette with crispy (ask for them crispy) hash browns and a side of pancakes. Lots of food, but you can always skip lunch. I loved the omelette, highly recommend. The pancake is plate size, I tried but could not finish it. The hash browns were perfectly cooked and seasoned.

I stopped in on the 4th of July, the place was full but the staff still met me with a smile. I only wanted a cold drink and it was delivered within a reasonable time. If I had wanted to eat, it was going to be a wait. But the staff was informing people of this before they ordered. If there is a special, order it. It won't take as long and it will be worth it. I had been waiting to try their broiled shrimp as was glad I made the effort to travel to the Lakewood Cafe. I'll get it again before I leave the area.

The two bright spots were the service we got up until we got our food, and the Eggs Benedict. So yeah, everything was going swimmingly, then we got our food and two minutes later the waitress placed our bill on our table and thus our water glasses and coffee cups were no longer replenished. And the Hashbrown Delight . . . it was hard to find any hashbrowns; I had to scrape a majority of the topping off to be able to see/taste any. Paid extra for scrambled eggs--hand to God, I thought they put a folded up crepe on the side of my plate. No scrambles in sight, just a dry sheet of egg. Ugh.

Clam Lake Classic!…read more 3.5 stars, but rounding up for the horseradish sauce! Clearly there are some issues with this place, but considering where it is (middle of nowhere and a 20 minute drive to your next best option), I'm willing to look the other way on certain things. First of all, the bar is awesome. There is LOTS of antler themed light fixtures, NRA-themed decor, and even some pro-Trump paraphernalia thrown in to remind you where you are. Aside from that, beer at the bar was cheap and conversation was good. We dined on a Saturday night suckered in by the temptation of smoked prime rib. After some discussion with the chef/owner, we discovered that there was no horseradish sauce in the house. Oh no!! Not to disappoint, the chef jotted off to the connivence across the road to pick some up. He whipped up a great sauce in a jiffy. Sorry, but Prime Rib is nothing without a good horseradish sauce! I loved the subtle smokiness of the meat. It had a great crust, but the cut was very fatty. For $24.95 with soup/salad bar, it was a bit pricey. At 16.95 I would not complain, but I suppose they gotta keep the lights on. For as up-north cool as the bar was, the dining room is pretty terrible. It could definitely stand some remodeling, but I think we all know that's not gonna happen.

Well, I just wasted $8.50 on the worst Bloody Mary mix I've ever tried. Actually, the entire…read moreexperience was less than pleasant here. I walked up to the bar, was greeted by a woman with a sour look on her face, and ordered a non-alcoholic Bloody Mary. I asked for it to be spicy. I've been ordering these drinks with and without alcohol for about 40 years now: This was the only undrinkable one I've encountered. It tasted like Red Hot on the rocks. I took a couple of sips and had to go throw up in the bathroom. Not kidding. My stomach and mouth were on fire. I'm still sick over an hour later. The two people I was with ordered food and were happy with it. I only had this horrible drink. When the waitress came back a couple of times, my full drink sat in front of me. She didn't ask if something was wrong with it. The second time she came back to the table I told her she could take the drink, that it was not drinkable. She said their mix is hot. Understatement of the year! There aren't a lot of people up north who like things spicy. I, however, do. She was kind enough to leave the full glass and bring a bill for $8.50. I paid it. On the way out, I handed the full drink to the sour faced lady that had originally "greeted" me at the bar. I told her it was so hot that it was undrinkable. No offer of a refund. I told her it was a nice way to spend $8.50. Now I remember why we stopped going here.
