My husband and I stopped here on our last night staying in town after being on the lake all day so we were famished! This was a Friday night and the restaurant began getting busy just as we were arriving but we were quickly greeted, seated and served our drinks by a cheerful polite server. She was very knowledgeable of the menu items and our pizza came quite quick for as busy as it was and it was very good. We aren't really "thin crust" pizza people and I don't even know if this was considered thin crust but this pizza was awesome! Also, usually I like the marinara or red sauce on my pizza very light because that usually upsets my stomach but this sauce tasted very good it wasn't that cheap strong tasting sauce like a lot of pizza places put on their pizza. The restaurant was clean, there was plenty of parking and plenty of seating and ALL of the staff were hustling busy - we did not see one person in there working that wasn't extremely busy. Our entire experience was fantastic from when the time the pizza arrived and our server served the first piece to us until we walked out the door and the hostess told us to have a nice evening. Make sure you stop here. We will be back.

A great place for hand dipped ice cream and home made chocolate treats, candies, honey, jams and more.
They are open seasonally and then for special holidays/occasions during the winter months. This is a great place to stop if you want that small ice cream and sweets shop atmosphere.

Looking for a breakfast place near cabins on the river. Found this one and decided to give it a go. Wonderful food (variety and portions), friendly staff (Janet is exceptional waitress), and the place is very clean and comfortable. Loved the teapot theme and the tribute to veterans. We were a party of 6 and were so happy with our experience that we returned the next two mornings.

Dairy Queen is gone...but....the Indian River family who owns it, is doing their own soft ice cream. They make their own flavors from scratch and put the customer first. You will not be disappointed....vanilla /chocolate flavors are great...try them.

We eat here a lot. Quite often right before closing and whether it's carry out or dine in, the food and service is great. Never had a bad meal and we have tried quite a variety!

Stopped in for some smoked whitefish but picked up some local made peach apricot jam. They have a great selection of local food products. Also during the season you can get dinner and sit outside. Choices include white fish, trout, smelt, shrimp, and chicken strips. You can buy dinners in a bucket, a better deal. Choices will depend upon the season.

Reviewed By HouliMich - Michigan
There were 5 of us, 4 ordered burgers and they were quite dry / over cooked not much flavor even with the mushroom Swiss or olive sauce. The last person ordered fish basket, the waitress didn't know what kind it was.... But they looked like frozen fish sticks. The waitress was OVER zealous... It kinda became a joke, but she was so busy talking that she would forget things requested. Will I return? Sure, it may have been an off day.
