Michigamme Restaurants

MT. SHASTA RESTAURANT
(906) 323-6312
People are delighted that Chicagoan Nancy Ferro reopened this landmark log restaurant/bar. (It started out as an Ishpeming nightclub in 1936.)
Favorite entrées like liver and onions ($11), grilled walleye ($14), and grilled salmon ($15) come with salad or slaw, potato, and vegetable. Everyday $7.50 "recession hot plates" sell like wildfire, Nancy says: roast turkey or beef on potato bread with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus vegetable or delicious roasted apples. Standout sandwiches ($7 with fries), are a cheese steak and a reuben. Sandwiches, salads, homemade soup, and chili are available any time.
аааNancy, a food service veteran, first saw the area on vacation. Friends suggested that she buy the restaurant, then badly neglected. It took two repeat trips, hours of on-site visualization, and finally seeing the long lines of cars for July 4 fireworks over the lake to convince Nancy that an adequate customer base was here.
аааThe log interior is still decorated with oversize photos from Anatomy of a Murder, taken when a small but memorable part of the movie classic was filmed here.
