The Crystal Lake trading post, snack bar, and cafe serves up hot and cold
meals and drinks every day except for Tuesday.
There is a warm stove in the order-and-takeout section of the kitchen and
there are a few tables with chairs for people to wait inside as their meals
are assembled and served.
Outside of the kitchen itself there is a large open patio with six or
seven tables next to an array of gas and charcoal grills for outdoor
cooking of such things as BBQ chicken and fire-cooked hot dogs.
The current menu does not include the Daily Specials which
are posted on the signs outside. The prices and availability of some items

to let the cook know how much you enjoyed his cooking! :)

The Cafe building is historic, the wonderful rock-and-concrete walls were
built a long time ago. Pine trees used to grow on the patio side of the
building but over the years tree branches have splintered off and caused
damage until eventually the large trees threatened to cause major damage to
the store so they had to be removed.
The U. S. Forest Service Visitor Center across the parking lot from the
Cafe looks today just like it did back in the 1960's, and one can see from
the Old Tyme photographs on this web site what the Cafe and Visitor Center
used to look like.
