We stopped here by accident on a road trip and ended up staying for two hours. The food was incredible and the people made us feel like family. Can't wait to come back.

This is what dining should be — no fuss, just good food and genuine hospitality. The Tamarack Plate is the best breakfast I've had in the entire region.
