Lunch Stop Along Highway 12

I%26#39;m looking for an interesting place for traveling women to stop for lunch somewhere along Highway 12 between Willmar and Waverly, Minnesota.

You know . . . quaint, unique . . . no chain . . . something out of the ordinary.

Any suggestions?

The All American Grill and Brewhouse in Waverly has caught our attention a time or two but we%26#39;ve never stopped. All our trips to Willmar lately are to take my wife%26#39;s Dad out for lumch.

Also Hojies in Dassel is really good for BBQ and Wings. Right on 12 at the west end of town.

Peter%26#39;s on Lake Ripley in Litchfield is excellent too. http://www.petersribs.com/ Not right on 12 but pretty easy to find. Turn left on county-22 where 12 makes the right turn in town and go about 8 blocks to make a right on Pleasure Drive. More upscale than the others above and a little pricier.

Funny, I was going to suggest the same thing. I haven%26#39;t been there, but my college professor owns it. I%26#39;ve heard it%26#39;s pretty good. Still haven%26#39;t been through to try it though.

Just wanted to report in that we had a lovely lunch at The Grounds, a quaint little coffee shop in Cokato . . . right along Highway 12.

The Brewhouse doesn%26#39;t open until 3 . . . I%26#39;m not a fan of Hojies . . . Peter%26#39;s is nice, but we%26#39;ve eaten there several times and wanted to try something different.

The Grounds fit the bill wonderfully!
