I was impressed with the owner cranking out all kinds of bakery items, brownies, cookies, donuts, pasties, bread, etc..... Last stop I walked away with a loaf of bread too warm to run thru the slicer. The smell of it in the car was so heavenly I ended up ripping the end off to devour as it was going to be a while before I had access to a knife. Owner seems to be nearly a one man band. Much admiration to her dedication. I will be back for sure. Cute looking ice cream place next door is also on my list to try.

Pasties were introduced to the UP in the 1800s, and Dobbers honors the tradition of pastie making by closely following the original recipe. Over the years they have expanded their menu to include specialty pasties such as the breakfast pastie, ham and cheese pastie, and even a pizza pastie. I got an authentic beef pastie. This has perfectly seasoned beef, potatoes, and rutabega wrapped up in a golden brown crust. If you want gravy, forget it. They only serve the pastie the way it was originally intended, wrapped in paper so it can be tossed in a lunchbox and brought yo work. I look forward to having a pastie every time I come to the UP, and Dobbers has the best.

I grabbed a caramel, cinnamon, Boston cream and a Dutch crumb. $7 for 4 donuts. The cinnamon donut was dense and super dry. Not good. The caramel donut itself was quite dry. The caramel frosting was good. The Dutch crumb donut itself was dense and dry. The crumb wasn't too bad. The Boston cream donut was soft and billowy, as you bite into it. The Boston cream was more to one side of the donut. The Boston cream was good, as was the chocolate frosting. This was the better donut out of the 4, hands down.

Stopped by for an early dinner and I was ecstatic that there was no one there so I could get my Pastie right away.

They have a huge menu that's hard to miss and tell you exactly what's hot and ready. I had the Rutabaga one and I've never had one before, which to my surprise I ended up really liking. The lady in front is very helpful too and kind so make sure to ask for a pin before you leave and mark it on the map.

My dad said it felt like you were walking into someone's home the way she treated us. It was steadily busy, but she was attentive and so kind. All of us enjoyed our food, which was also reasonably priced. My mom and I got the Miner Meal, and it was perfect. The original pasty (just your classic meat, potato and option for rutabaga), a side of slaw, a drink and cookie. I grew up eating pasties, and it was a really solid one. It's all about the crust for me, and they nailed it. Plus, the option of 8oz was just right! And the slaw was really yummy too. A very refreshing side for a heavy pasty. My dad got the pasty mac - no clue it was even a thing (and maybe it isn't anywhere else), and he loved it! Kids got pepperoni pizza pasty and chicken tenders and fries - everything was a hit. My dad tasted the pizza pasty too and said it was delicious. Only the kids ate the tenders and fries - nothing special there, but they were happy with them. Then they each got a cup of Superman ice cream, and we all know you can't go wrong there. Overall, a really great experience! We'd totally come back and would recommend to anyone looking for some classic and tasty yooper food close to the iron mine!! Drive-thru, indoor and outdoor seating, convenient location, coloring pages for kids, great service. Oh, and the bathroom is nice and clean too.

They turned Cajun catfish into a soggy sponge that tasted like dirt from the bottom of your shoe. The mystery tartar sauce was exactly it mystery! very strange color tint between white and yellow. I have absolutely no idea what the two fried balls in the little brown bag where that came with with the meal, which I'm assuming is a consolation prize for taking a gamble and ordering from here. Whatever it was smelt exactly like the fish so that tells me that whatever they fried it in was in the same oil they're cooking fish in which most of us all know is a no-no. The woman at the register, walking around, rubbing her nose, face hair and touching everything in between was a sight I'll just never forget. It's a dirty shame because food used to be excellent coming from this place, but that's back when employees clearly cared about the product they were serving
