Leif's Cafe

Reviewed By UpNorth13 - Hazelhurst, Wisconsin

We have eaten here several times during the past year. The meals have been fine, especially the chicken dumpling menu item! The service has been a bit spotty but not inordinately slow. It's become our go to place in Eagle River, if we're looking for a simple but good meal on the go. If the service would be a little better, this review would likely have been a 4-star.

Blend

This is our coffee shop. Everything is made fresh. We serve coffee, wine, beer, and food. Our quiche and soups are made from scratch. Try our french toast or waffle with local real maple syrup or one of our delicious sandwiches.

Eagle Baking Company

Reviewed By MDWMN - Prior Lake, Minnesota

Eagle Bakery is a small local bakery with friendly service and great quality. I've purchased bread, pastries and also sandwiches here and have not been disappointed. It is so refreshing to have a small local bakery available instead of just mass-produced products at the grocery stores. Well worth the stop!

Friendship House Family Restaurant

Reviewed By Ronald S - Oregon, WI, United States

This is a typical of the family type restaurants you find in many towns in Wisconsin. A large breakfast menu, many sandwich and meal choices, with daily specials along with children and senior menus. Food is average to very good, depending on what you order. Service is good, prices are relatively low and in line for this type of restaurant.

Reviewed By MadDogTraveler - Valparaiso, Indiana

I am not a big coffee drinker but I love this place. They have teas as well as coffee. They also have some of the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. They offer other pastry as well but why bother? There is seating inside or you can get it to go. The location is great to grab a drink on the way to up north adventures.

We always go to Dairy Queen restaurants for the ice cream specials (usually Blizzards). This particular restaurant lacks comfortable seating (very tight, hard cushion booths), and the piped in music is much too loud.

Riverstone gets it right!
Presentation and taste of food can always be counted on to be top knotch.
Some of the best bread anywhere.

Friendly, prompt service just adds to the experience.

Thanks to the chef & staff for keeping Riverstone consistent from year to year.
