This restaurant is pretty unique. The architecture is straight out of the Sears garden shed section. Inside, there is enough room for a central work area with seating at counters running down both sides, and not much else. At lunch rush, it's sometimes difficult to squeeze your way to a seat. This place has been around since the Depression-era, and very little, except the prices and an occasional new malt machine, has changed.
Speaking of malts-- I haven't had any better in my life. They are done from hard-scooped vanilla, with real malted powder and flavors. My family will often split a chocolate-butterscotch one between two or three of us.
The other main food item at the Tendermaid is the Tendermaid-- loosely described as what happens to sloppy joes when you forget the can of Manwich. Try the version with cheese [helps hold things together] and pickles. These are filling and unique, but fairly bland for flavor. Served on a paper wrapper with a spoon to scoop what drops out.
Prices are reasonable-- you can get a sandwich, malt and chips for about four and a half bucks. You've gotta give this one a try at least once.

Great place to grab a sandwich, and you must try their bars! They make their sandwiches on homeade bread that is cut 1 inch thick. Prices are reasonable! Can get busy during lunch hour.

Let's be straight from the start: this is not haute cuisine by any stretch of the imagination. Rather, it is very good at what it does, which is basic Upper-Midwestern staples. Prices are reasonable, especially when c
