We were on a business trip from Canada to Storm Lake Iowa and the hotel where we stay at has a restaurant but it was closed for renovations. We googled mapped restaurants near by and which ones were open for breakfast and it led us here to eat. I can tell you stop in and have a great breakfast, good conversation if you wish from the local resident table and most of all the owners treated us as if we were family. Buffalo Ridge is where we will be having breakfast when we are in town.
