Lee Duquette was driving around
when he saw the sign for Karen's Kountry Kitchen and realized
that earlier they had gotten a flyer for this restaurant, so even though
they had packed a picnic lunch, they decided to stop and eat at Karen's
Kountry Kitchen. And they were so glad they stopped. |

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette
got a table by a window and had a nice view. The place was definitely
country and colorful, with a warm, friendly atmosphere. Very clean.
Food was fresh, home-cooked style and delicious, including the homemade
pies. |
 |
 |
Below: Each table had different
salt and pepper shakers. |
|
Below: The salad was anything
but ordinary because it had fresh strawberries, almonds and more. Karen
Duquette was almost done eating most of her salad when the server came
by and asked if all was OK, and Karen said YES, but she would have liked
more dressing. Instead of just bringing Karen more dressing, he took
the plate back to the kitchen and the salad was redone just as big and
wonderful as the original salad, with even more fresh strawberries.
All of the food was outstanding, as was the service. |
|
Below: Not only was the food
and service outstanding, but so was the server. He was funny and kept
Lee and Karen Duquette laughing. Then Karen, the owner and cook, came
out of the kitchen and sat and talked with the two RV Gypsies because
this was a slow time for the restaurant. But she said that next month
it will be hard to get in the door, as the place will be packed with
customers. So Karen will bring in more employees. It did not take long
before the two RV Gypsies knew they had two new friends, they will never
forget.
Below is a photo of Karen and Karen. They had to control their laughter
long enough to have their photo taken, that is why they both had funny
looks on their faces. |
|
Below: Then Lee and Karen
Duquette walked around the side and back of the restaurant and took
a few photos of the plants and the delightful view of the lake. |
|
|
Below: It was not a great
day weather-wise, or the two RV Gypsies probably would have sat outside
on the patio by the lake. But as it turned out, they were glad to be
indoors so they got to talk to Karen and the server. |

Below is a copy of the flyer
that Lee Duquette had found at a welcome center. The two RV Gypsies
highly recommend Karen's Kountry Kitchen. They only wish they could
eat there more often, but of course, not living in the area, that is
just not possible. But they will always cherish their meal and new friends,
and will definitely eat there again if they ever visit anywhere near
the area again. And they really want to visit again, but it is unlikely
that they will get to travel here again. |
