The restaurant went through many changes throughout the years, including a kitchen fire in 2018 that resulted in total loss of the building. For us, keeping family traditions is important. Three traditions we've promised to maintain are the memory of Grandpa Fred's love for farming and tractors, our "world-famous" steak sandwich, and the 30-foot tall windmill outside.
The windmill by the restaurant today is the very same one that stood at the farm where Grandma Elaine grew up. It was a working mill and stood many years at the Wegener farm, helping to pump water for the cattle troughs.
The windmill represents a family tradition, similar to many of the items featured on our menu that we're sure you'll enjoy. Thanks so much for visiting and being a part of the family.
