Here in Wisconsin, the idea of Up North is as much a concept as it is a physical location. It’s not always feasible for those in the southern half of the state to head up to the Northwoods all the time, but we sure do love the relaxation, welcome feel and coziness that comes with an Up North cabin. Sometimes you can’t go Up North, but you can still find some of that feeling. In Howards Grove, near Sheboygan, Log Cabin Inn is serving up killer food in the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve come home.
The very first version of the Log Cabin Inn was fashioned in this spot back in 1947. Serving up 15 cent hamburgers, it was open 24 hours a day and welcomed folks from the local college and keeping the place at all hours. Seventy years later, Log Cabin Inn is still a warm and open place that brings folks together and it's still run on the same ideals that existed back then: "Give them a clean place, nice portions, and a price that doesn't hit them over the head."
The big, high ceilings here make the place feel large and airy while the furnishings and friendly staff make it feel like home. It looks like your uncle's cabin and feels like eating dinner at mom's house.
Start your weekend with a delicious Bloody Mary and settle in for a meal that will fill you up body and soul. Eating here is as much a comfort experience as it is nutritional.
Breakfast dishes are simple, hearty and downright delicious. Everything on the menu here has shades of food you love, but it's all been kicked up and elevated a bit.
At dinner, you might find pot pie or even a bacon wrapped filet topped with blue cheese crumbles. No matter what you're in the mood for, these folks make it and make it well.
Keep it simple with foods you know and love or step out of your comfort zone to try some really stellar specials from chefs that know their food. You'll find local ingredients and unusual combinations that will make your tastebuds sing.
And don't forget to leave room for dessert. From large slabs of carrot cake to this mouthwatering chocolate amazingness, you'll be happy to find a little room for sweets to complete your meal.
Bring your friends and family and settle in for a meal you won't soon forget at this wonderful, historic and amazing spot in east-central Wisconsin. You'll find yourself wanting to go back again and again.
