Somewhat of a drive, but it's actually our favorite place to eat. The food is GREAT, vibe super casual. We've spent many date nights here playing pool and listening to music. Eric loves their pizzas, I love the Philly steak sandwich. They also have the BEST potato skins I've ever eaten. Sheri is our favorite waitress and she's been there forever.

On the lake, with lots of patio seating. Average type of bar food, but the place to dance on the weekends if you're young enough to stay up late.

I love boats, but have an old one. I like to go into Brad Nelson's business and ogle the boats. If you would like to buy a Cobalt for me, that is the one I like the best. :-) He is next to the dairy queen as well, so if you can't afford a boat, you at least can probably swing an ice-cream cone. :-)
