Restaurant Review: Norman Quacks
Our new favorite restaurant. It's a bar/ restaurant in on Broadway Ave in Forest Lake MN. Reasons why we like it:
1. It's not a chain restaurant.
2. Everything on the menu is fresh made, not prepackaged or frozen. (The chicken tenders are to die for. They're each half a chicken breast dipped in homemade batter and fried.)
3. The butter is different every day and is often sooo yummy. They serve it with home made bread.
4. The quirky menu item names. I've had the Forest Lakeadelphia cheese steak sub. They throw puns or duck names in wherever they can.
5. The generous portions. I don't know how they stay in business. We've never gone there and not brought home a doggy bag.
6. The decor:
Those are waders suspended from the ceiling over the lights and buoy fixture. That's a moose skull on the wall. The partition between the rows of booths is stacked with books. (Not in view) I guess the reasoning there is, you get something to read as you wait for your homemade meal which takes longer to cook than prepackaged or frozen food.
Overall, our favorite place to eat out on those rare occasions when we eat out.

Oh so fun! Now I have to try the one out in Forest Lake. We drove passed it and wondered "should we stop". Next time! We ended up eating at Quacks at Marine Landing(Marine on St. Croix). See my blog for pixs...only outdoor eatery but still Fun and so scenic. The breakfast was really good and staff really friendly.
