One of our favorite fun local spots for a hamburger or hot dog! Their Storms (think DQ Blizzard) are amazing - our favorites are The Beauty and The Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Outdoor seating is available, however in the warmer months this place gets pretty busy and a table can be hard to find. Just across the dam is a park with plenty of picnic tables.
