Review for Lola's Kitchen Pop-Up on Mondays & Tuesdays: Damn, that's great Filipino food! My husband, my Filipina mom, and I all delighted in the Bistek Tagalog, Chicken Adobo, Pancit, and Pork Lumpia -- tasty, good portion sizes, prepared without heavy oils. My mom is really picky and she said some of the dishes tasted just like HER lola used to make, the highest compliment. SO nice to have good Filipino food in Door County. Please keep going!
Lola's Kitchen is a pop up restaurant inside of Roots Kitchen on Monday's and Tuesday's this season. If you want delicious food, in a treehouse setting, with wonderful service - go here. The menu is small and interesting. Last night, our table of 5 ordered one of everything and went home with lunch for today. Apps: the Pork Lumpia was a table favorite, but I especially enjoyed the special veggie lumpia with beets - full flavor! For the entrees, the Chicken Adobo melted off the bones. The broth was so flavorful we were getting every drop from the bowl. The Ginataang Kalabasa was a coconut milk, squash with other veggies soup that was out of this world. This was not something I would normally order, but was a favorite at our table. The other entrees: Noodles and Beef dishes also packed down home comfort food flavors. Of course we had to also try dessert. Both were colorful and tasty with the Chocolate Hills cookie dough balls our top pick. Service by Frank and Collin was exceptional, friendly, and professional. They greeted many locals by name. Food whisked out of the kitchen to our table piping hot! Chef Owen was amazing in this small space and ran several dishes out from the kitchen himself. He took the time to say hello at the end of the busy night. I highly recommend Lolas kitchen for top notch food and friendly night out. It's worth a drive north!
This review focuses on the restaurant, not the bed-and-breakfast. It’s probably the most affordable and incredibly delicious healthy/comfort food I’ve ever had. The bratwurst is the best I’ve ever tasted. The salad is also fantastic. They have a dish for everyone. But you must come for the brat sandwich! The atmosphere is decent, and the service is incredible.
Stayed here for a weekend wedding celebration. Lovely little place. Old and quaint. Excellent breakfast and a free beer fridge for guests. Collin the owner was very hospitable and helpful. Perfect location a block off the main drag in Sister Bay so easy walks to all the shopping and eating and beach!
My new favorite restaurant in Door County! Most of the menu is vegan, and the unique flavors are amazing. Omnivores are very happy here as well - they can add protein to dishes or have a brat. Fantastic selection of local beers, fast service and a gorgeous dog-friendly patio make this a must visit in Sister Bay. I'll be back!
We were blown away by our stay! We were impressed by the attention to detail - from the decor/amenities, to asking us about any dietary restrictions, to the breakfast quality (it was a plus that the ingredients are locally sourced). Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Not to mention the location was ideal for walking to explore all that Sister Bay has to offer. Close enough to explore, but still within a quiet area for a restful sleep. Just perfect.
Roots is such an awesome spot to stay! We enjoyed the coziness of our room and the close proximity to all of Sister Bay’s downtown. Can’t say enough about Collin and his team. The comfort they provide from check in to check out is incredible. And the breakfasts from the Kitchen each morning were all so unique and delicious. It was really fun to walk in there with no idea of what the breakfast was and to let Collin show off! We will definitely be back.
Roots is an amazing bed and breakfast! Can’t rave enough about our stay! Collin is an absolutely amazing host. He is a wizard in the kitchen - breakfast here was some of the best food on our trip to Door County. Literally cannot speak higher of the food. The service is so warm and friendly. Collin takes time to chat to his guests, and remembers everyone’s names - very personable. The location of the inn is perfect - walking distance to all of Sister Bay. Parking was never a problem. The room was so cute and quaint. The house itself is decorated in a detailed way where you can find little unique aspects of every nook and cranny of the historic building. 10/10 stay, highly recommend.
