    Definitely a local diner. There were locals there enjoying a meal. There's nothing fancy, but the service and food are good. I ordered 2 eggs (scrambled), cranberry bread toast, & the hashbrowns. It was all very good. They make their own bread and have sourdough as a selection too.

    Walleye Pike

    The owner of Superior Finds told us about this place on the way out of town. Upon walking in you could tell, this is where the locals go. Don't expect fancy, but I was on day '?' without a shower, fancy was not where I needed. Seat yourself and a friendly server will greet you. Plastic cups, plain beige plates and breakfast served all day. By the smells and the chatter, you knew you'd walk away satisfied. I ordered the walleye dinner (one more time for ol'time sake). The Hubs ordered the chicken tenders. Hands down, the best cooked piece of fish I had the entire trip!! My mouth still waters thinking about the perfection that touched my tongue. Baked potato was cooked exactly how I like also. By the time I finished those two items, I didn't have space for the roll. Chicken strips were as good as most. Super fresh, crunchy and plenty of them. Served with a side of sweet and sour instead of ketchup. I can dig that twist. Onion rings were delicious. Yum! Great recommendation from a local and I'll extend the favor and recommend for y'all too.

    Two Eggs, Corn Beef Hash and Toast
    Christine W.

    Really great service with hot delicious breakfast. The corned beef hash was very good and the homemade sourdough bread was a hit. Some others had pancakes and French toast, equally good.

    Empty Food Plates :) YUMMY!

    Standard small town diner. Excellent prices, no pretense, and the cook came out dancing while serving another diner's order.

And for me, part of the experience is slowing down to enjoy the moment. No small part of that enjoyment comes from drinking my coffee in a proper vessel. It could be a ceramic coffee cup, or a bowl, or a heavy glass, or a demitasse cup on a saucer. Different shops can have their own style, but if you refuse to serve a well crafted drink in something other than paper, that's an issue for me. Especially when the proper cups are right there! I see them. And I get that washing dishes can be a pain in the neck, but coffee shops can charge what they charge for beans and water because they are providing an experience. Sorry. Thanks for hearing me out. Beyond that, this place is lovely. The people are friendly, which should not be a surprise in Minnesota. The cortado was good, but hard to fully appreciate or evaluate in its sad little paper cup. My family was happy with their drinks. And the outdoor space is simply magical. This is a tucked away little modern coffee oasis in a remote part of Minnesota and I'm very glad it exists and can provide me and others the energy boost needed after hours of nature walks in the area.

We had a much longer wait for pie at Betty's, and were lucky to get a parking place at all. It was mobby, and it wasn't even the weekend! There was about a 10 minute wait to order at the outdoor window, and a 15-20 wait for our slices. Most of the people ahead of us seemed to be getting pie shakes. In addition to the apple pie slice, we bought a toffee cream one. We ate it soon after our visit. It was delicious. The pale crust reminded me of shortbread, the filling light, sweet, and creamy, with what seemed to be Heath bits throughout. It was great and surprisingly not filling at all. As for the apple pie comparison, Betty's version was more cohesive a crust and easier to eat, but it was also surprisingly bland. The thicker crust at the edge was dry, too. The fillings from both bakeries were quite close, both good. From Betty's, we liked the cream pie slice much more than the apple. For classic double-crust apple, Rustic was best between the two.

While we waited for our food, we walked out on the deck, which led to scenic marshy areas with trails. I ordered beet wellington with arugula, and my spouse had a chicken dish with risotto. Just half of the beet wellington with the arugula was enough to fill me up. I liked the beet wellington, but it would have been better if they figured out a way to season the beet. Maybe pierce it and marinate it a bit? The chicken and risotto were also good. If we were hungrier, we would have supplemented these dishes with more vegetables. This was a nice place to stop before returning on a long drive home. We enjoyed relaxing in the spacious dining room with evocative upscale cabin decor. As I finished typing this, my spouse chimed in, "Not amazing, but pretty good." And in a touristy area where restaurant quality can be hit or miss, pretty good is exactly that: pretty good. We'll take it.
