Simple, local deli with excellent sandwiches and small town service! My Reuben was perfect and the rest of the fam was pleased as well. A tad on the pricey side but well worth it for good, honest local fare. Get your sandwiches to go and take them across the street for a picnic next to the Au Sable river!
