Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant & Butik

“The goats are the hook; the Swedish pancakes with lingonberries are why you come back. Go early: the wait is real.”
Sister Bay institution since 1949, serving Swedish pancakes and meatballs — with goats grazing on its sod roof all summer.
Seasonal: Open year-round. The goats are on the roof from late May to mid-October.
