Be prepared for crowds, especially on Fridays at 11 AM, when the restaurant reaches maximum capacity. While the hustle and bustle excuse my earlier views, the quieter mornings provide the perfect opportunity for serene breakfasts and reflective conversations.

Customer Reviews

We are camping at the Shell Lake Municipal Campground and heard about this restaurant which serves breakfast and lunch. We walked over for breakfast. The place itself is very adorable and is decorated in blue and hello colors for the Shell Lake High School Lakers and lunchboxes. The menu items are plenty to choose from. We ended up getting chicken fried steak with sunny side up eggs and hash browns, the works omelette with sausage patties on the side. I had to also try corned beef hash. Everything was wonderful... chicken fried steak was one of the best ones I have had. Omelet (3 egg) was huge and delicious. Corned beef hash was very good. They do have a bar and serve drinks; we opted not to have any. The service was good, the prices were amazingly reasonable. It's hard to get meals like this for the price. Our total was $32 and it was super worth it. Hope more people visit and dine here.

Another great small town hit from my taste buds . It's not glame and fame. But it feels like it with its atmosphere, my expectations, and how I wanted my country fried steak with friendly service.

This is a quiet cafe that offers breakfast and lunch. The food was good as was the service. The atmosphere is bright and fun with 248 lunch boxes on display. I personally liked the Curious George lunch boxes. The bathroom was small but clean. Parking is right out front.
