Timber Charlie's Food 'n' spirits
(906) 293-3363
Timber Charlie's, a popular spot, is a full-service restaurant with a big menu ranging from steaks to Mexican, pasties, whitefish battered or broiled, burgers and sandwiches, meal-size salads like grilled chicken salad, and hand-cut steaks. There's breakfast, too. Many people feel it's the best food in town. Owner Ray Mahaffy has introduced a European section to the menu, with wienerschnitzel, gyros sandwiches, pasta, Northern Italian dishes that are not pasta, and more. Entrées start at $9 with vegetable and appropriate starch. Timber Charlie's has long been known for BBQ baby-back ribs ($14 and $19 at dinner). Soups (around $4 a crock, including a roll, crackers, a pickle) are a specialty: four a day, always French onion and a tasty, meaty vegetable beef soup. Knotty pine walls, a terrazzo floor, ruffled curtains and mounted animal heads give the place its old-timey character. There's an extensive gift shop, too, open when it's busy or upon request. There's a large side parking lot right next to a busy snowmobile trail.
