Mealtime at Fireside Lodge Whether it be in the dining room or on the shoreline of a quiet bay, mealtime is a memorable experience at Fireside Lodge!
Breakfast is a completely open menu consisting of everything from cold and hot cereals to loaded omelets. The choice is yours every morning.
Lunches are packed “to go” as a picnic lunch or shore lunch. Picnic lunches include sandwiches, made with freshly sliced meat and bread made daily, chips, cookies, fruit & beverage. Shore lunches consist of everything you need to cook a shoreline lunch with potatoes, onions, beans, and we provide the fish fillets. This is our contribution to the conservation program and your opportunity to enjoy a fresh fish meal cooked over a fire. As for dinner, all meals are home cooked quality with portions to delight even a hearty “north woods” appetite, and pastries & baked goods are all made “from scratch.” Our menu will please every taste and appetite, including health conscious choices and special dietary requirements. Your meals will be served to you at your personal table by a server paying special attention to your mealtime enjoyment. If you choose to stay out on the lake for dinner hours, we will gladly pack up a shoreline dinner for you, or, if you lost track of time and fished right through dinner time, your meal will be packed up and waiting for you in your cabin or room. With that kind of flexibility, you need not worry about sacrificing meals or service for your fishing routine.
