The Harborview Cafe! The best restaurant, anywhere. On the marina, along the shore of Lake Pepin! Outstanding food, great wine list, great service!

We love Brewed Awakenings in Grand Rapids. Either for great coffee drinks, soups, sandwiches, salads and bakery. Gluten free too. Save room for gelato.

The Wilson Café in Wilson, Arkansas features Southern home cooking gone upscale. Housed in the historic Wilson Tavern building the restaurant has been transformed by owner and chef Joe Cartwright into not only a beautiful facility but a fantastic restaurant that features locally sourced ingredients. The menu changes seasonally so watch the website to see what is featured. No matter what you order, you will be satisfied both by the quality and quantity of your order.
Next time you want a nice road trip and a dining experience that you won’t forget, or maybe you are looking for a great place for a special dinner, look no further than the Wilson Café. The food is amazing, the staff is second to none, and the attention to detail just puts it over the top. If you dropped this restaurant into downtown Little Rock, Memphis or St.Louis, they would be lined up out the door and down the street all day. Stop in and see for yourself. You’ll be glad you did.
The Wilson Café is located on the historic and lovely Wilson Town Square at 2 North Jefferson Street.

Bayside Tap & Steakhouse is must see and stop along your trek down the Mississippi River! Open year round, and located on Old West Main in Red Wing, MN. Throughout winter they put on a Meat Raffle that supports our Local Legion and the profits from the raffle for the meat go to the armed forces that are supported by our Local Legion. Awesome Martini’s, Food, Steaks and fun to be had when you stop in. Rooftop and outdoor seating to watch the river go by in the summer when it is warmer! Enjoy and make sure to get the seasoned fries with gouda cheese! A must have!

Dessert (before dinner) is always a must. I was told by many locals the Pearl Ice Cream Parlor was a must stop, and from the line that collected outside the door as we were ordering that definitely said something about the place. It was like stepping back into a time machine and I loved it! Ice cream is one of my love languages and this chocolate chip cookie dough in a home-made waffle cone was simply perfect!

Otto’s place is a super cute breakfast spot in downtown Galena. Friendly service and great food to boot!
