Great Gyro spot but they also have a wonderful full menu. They make everything on the menu as a pita sandwich or you can order it as a "plate" and get sides. It's perfect for grab and go, or if you can find a seat it's fun to eat there. You can take Skull Creeks food next door to the Barley and get a beer to go with it.

Excellent food and atmosphere! a must during your trip. The Laundry is in a beautifully renovated old building. They serve a "small plate" menu. But don't let the small plate thing scare you away. The portions are perfect and the menu is very creative and super delicious. They also have larger plates but its fun to get alot of items and share.

Brewery on 5th and Lincoln and again an AMAZING restaurant. The steak turnados are my favorite. I always get double "porter cream sauce" go go with. You'll understand what that means when you go. I also LOVE the tuna ceviche appetizer. Everything on the menu is excellent!

Great place to rent a pontoon boat or a canoe and go fishing. Beautiful scenery and tons of hiking nearby in the Zirkel Wilderness area off of Seedhouse Road. Ask me for guidance if you want to go "up north" as we locals call it. Stop off at the Clark Store for ice cream in the summer, is a must!
