A Great place to stop along the way in your travels. While you are waiting for your fun there are plenty of places to sit and relax. Public washrooms are clean. Wheelchair ramp to the washrooms and to order. The staff are helpful and very friendly. There is a mini putt putt that is a lot of fun for the whole family. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. This is a must stop on your way to Kenora or Fort Francis and all the other places along the way. Plenty of parking.

Great ice cream firm not melty. So if you like Chapmans (my family does) I definitely recommend food always smells and looks great but I haven't had the other food lately to comment on taste. Service is great. Quick, polite etc. Spacious deck to sit and eat in the shade or sun whatever you prefer. We go every year on the way to the cottage.

I didn’t like my hot dog - it had a very strange taste to it, however the owner (I believe) was VERY nice and refunded me without any questions. The rest of the food was ok. Cute little place for the family to stop.
