    Ordered the steak medium rare and it came out very overdone. After my family was totally finished eating, I got another steak, but it was totally rare and raw in the middle. The salad and baked potato were so-so. The burger and fries were reportedly good from my family members.

    Awesome, quaint and definitely Minnesota's Northwoods charm. My breakfast is fit for Paul Bunyan but suited perfectly for me.

    Great breakfasts! Great pie! Coffee, too. Personal favorite is the BLT. If you like diner food, and I do, then this is the place to go.

    Well, well, well, what a day it was. Been 6 years since we last visited. We figured we would give…read moreit another try and see if it has improved and boy they did not disappoint. What's different being seated was they use to have bottled hot sauces on the table which are no longer there, they don't even have them to ask for, but they do have a hotter salsa for a $2 charge. Yes it was tasty and yes it was hot but not sure I will pay $2 for it again I will just bring my bottle of hot sauce I usually carry in the car and put it in their regular salsa. Only needs more heat for us flavor was good it has cilantro but doesn't overwhelm it. The complimentary chips were warm and really thin, wonderful. We ordered enchilada platters, I ordered three cheese and was so pleasantly surprised I didn't have to cut red sauce and add queso it was already on it.. plus.. plus.. I substituted the beans for another rice and they did... the cheese enchiladas were so good and filled with a cheese blend so flavorful, the rice was presented so pretty on the plate not in the usual pile, and so very, very good, finally I can say that the rice would be like their grandma would prepare at home with love. Best plates of Mexican food we have had anywhere even from down south with the exception of Pedro's in Duluth. Hubby ordered all beef enchiladas his had queso on top as well, he said it was wonderful full of ground beef seasoned perfectly with onions and bell peppers, he had beans and rice, beans were very good, I wish I would have gotten them now too, they were not just watery goop on the plate they where actual refried chunky beans with flavor. Very friendly waiter quick to be seated, received our drinks took orders and within 15 minutes had our food, we even got drink refills without asking. I hope this is an example of how it is every day because we are excited to go back.

    We got rained out camping and ended up at Mi Rancho for dinner, it was delicious! I had the…read moreQuesa-birria and a strawberry margarita. Their salsa was good, they didn't have hot sauce, so we ordered their spicy salsa, it was smoky and very hot, but had a great taste. Everything was reasonably priced, we got seated and served quickly, and we left full and satisfied. Thank you!
