GREAT Pizza! They don't deliver, but they do offer a quick turn around on take out. I like to eat at the restaurant for the best quality pizza and a beer. Same owners as the North Pole fudge shop/ice cream parlor in the Village, you get a discount there when you order your pizza. ;)

Charming, quiet bed and breakfast that has great food and a romantic setting. It's located inside the old dam keeper's mansion. There are new owners, but I believe they kept the original charm and quality intact. Call ahead for reservation.

AMAZING sandwich shop! I order the Club Sandwich on "squaw bread". One sandwich feeds 2 adults! It's located next to Stater Bros. and is a hidden gem. The ambiance is just so so, but the food is great!
