Apparently no one knows how to put current important information on the web site. I've been there before and the food is good, but what good is good food if you're not open. Go at your own risk.

Breakfast menu covered every option you might want. Portions were ample. Green peppers, onions, and ham in omelets were pre-sautéed, bringing special flavors to entrees. Everyone gave their meals very high marks for taste. The atmosphere was "local town genuine" and decidedly un-chain-like. We ordered a giant cinnamon roll for the table. It was a cube 6 inches on every side. Our first impression was "how can this brick be good all the way through?" BUT IT WAS! The core was the size of a softball and we fought over pieces like Black Friday Walmart shoppers.

This one is neither of those. It's winter time and we drove over an hour to come just to eat here. Prime rib is either GREAT or kind of underwhelming. Good outweighs the bad though. Our only complaint is this place you cannot get to by boat. But if you could, it would be double the price.

Stopped here while in town for a work trip. Amazing view of the lake!…read more Food was very good. One of the better spots around. I had a wedge salad, coated with Gorgonzola and bacon, paired with a delicious salad dressing. The homemade croutons were a nice touch as well. For my entree, I had the open faced roast beef sandwich. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting but the gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans tasted really delicious and warm in a cold evening. Service was fast and attentive. Enjoyed our dinner.
