Literally across the street from Evans Lake Resort, enjoy delicious bar fare at this local hot spot. Some of our favorites include the Mega Nachos (the mega is LARGE!), Steak Sub (add mushrooms and banana peppers), Pizza, and Perch. Tip – call in advance in the offseason (October-May) even if you plan on dining in because they can have odd hours.
