The atmosphere is a country kitchen vibe. The chicken strips were juicy. If you enjoy a smokey flavor, try their BBQ sauce on the side. But that pistachio fluff pie. Oh my gawd. Now that was like eating a slice of heaven.

One of the cozier spots to grab some food and some of the best baked goods on this side of Wisconsin. I drive here an hour every couple months or so on the weekends just for this experience. The food takes a little longer to get to you, but everything is unbelievably fresh, tasty and homemade. Leave the city and suburbs behind for a bit and come out here.

What a nice find. We were looking for a place to grab a bite for lunch when we ran into this place out in the country. I ordered the chef salad. It was a little light on meat but tasted great. My wife ordered a pulled pork sandwich and it was excellent. The other half of the place is a cool country store filled with treats, trinkets, and clothing. I found myself a new destination when touring in the convertible.

We wandered in off Hwy. 8 on a Sunday afternoon looking for lunch, and found this fantastic farm eats spot! We loved feeding the animals off the side of the parking lot and thought the exterior was decorated so nice. When we walked in — we weren’t exactly sure where to go and didn’t find anyone at the front register. We walked around to find a written sign that said to pay at the other counter, so we went looking for the other counter. Passed a few tables, we saw two teenage girls sitting behind the deli counter scrolling on their phones. We all deserve a break, and it was obvious they had a busy breakfast for the amount of dirty tables around the room; however, “clean, then lean” is a policy they may need. We loved the store retail items, and all the shop had to offer! Our lunch was hot and delicious, and the scones were fantastic!!! Will return just for them. Our service at the counter was pleasant and the customer service was friendly. Though we didn’t initially understand to order at the counter — signage to direct patrons, like a standing chalkboard would be decorative and give direction. Even training to have staff say “Hello/Goodbye” when they hear the door. It’s clear the love and time the owners/family have put in, and their staff should understand how important it is for small business. This place is a gem!

Stopped in mid-afternoon on a Wednesday — the place was deserted but a touch on the call button and we had immediate service. Food was excellent, but special mention for the cracked wheat bread and the Tuscan potato soup. And the pie — OMG, that pie! Very good service, nice country store atmosphere, we’ll be back.

We used to enjoy the food here but today we waited 35 minutes for a bowl of soup and a cold sandwich with 1 table of 5 ahead of us and at least 9 different workers. When we said this took really long today the server said, “it was our fault with a printer, sorry” and walked away. Soup was good but the sandwich was overdone with toppings and little meat. Unfortunately we will not be returning- there are other options nearby.

I was hungry, so I stopped here at about 9:30 am. They were only serving breakfast, so I tried a caramel malt and I got a doughnut to go for my hubby. The caramel malt is heavenly. So delicious! As I was leaving, I saw they had a little petting zoo, so I went and checked it out. There’s a cute piggy, 2 donkeys, several goats, and some peacocks and other birds. Overall, 10/10 I’d come back here.

We came here for the weekend Eggs Benedict, which was quite tasty! The hollandaise sauce was one of the best I’ve had. We also had a chocolate scone, which was a bit dry.
This establishment seems to be a farm, a store, and a restaurant combined. We fed some farm animals, which was quite fun.
The store has a variety of products: candles, jams, dairy, signs, and so on.
The service at the restaurant was quick and efficient. There is no one to greet or seat you, so you have to go to the back right corner to order.
My main concern was that there are many outlet boxes sticking out of the ground, and while most are under or near tables, it seems like they could be tripping hazards.

Great food. Mostly homemade items and you can taste the quality. Biscuits and gravy, eggs benedict, reuben sandwich, burgers, have all been great. Fresh cinnamon rolls and pies are the best I’ve had in the Amery/New Richmond/St. Croix areas.

I’m a city slicker from Minnesota who drove by this sign and tore off the road in my BMW to try this place. They make everything from scratch. I am very happy I found this place. I will bring my entire family next pass. Hopefully I will be on time for breakfast.
