What Our Customers Say About Our Deli
Hear from locals and visitors who love our famous broasted chicken and fresh deli options
"Wouldn't take a dime — incredibly kind"
"The owner of this business is an outstanding, kind, and generous person. We were out boating when we ran into some real trouble… my husband was trying to get a ride and the owner was so helpful and took him. Then would not take a dime for doing it. He told us to come there anytime and use the dock to put in our boat — he does not charge for using it, just asks that you please support his business. It is very easy to support a man running a business who is this kind."
"Great local apparel & supplies"
"Great variety of local themed apparel! Really quality pieces. And all the miscellaneous supplies you could need."
"Checked in and launched seamlessly"
"We had another great experience with Butch's! Bud quickly checked us in and was helpful in getting all of our equipment and our boat launched. Baker and other staff helped us check out seamlessly. We had a great time on the lake and will definitely be back!"
