The only reason I came to the Indian Café is

because Mc Donald's decided to close for

reconstruction. That's a good excuse as any,

right? At least I ate a halfway decent meal,

although overpriced for the quality. My

experience was a bit awkward at first, though.

The lady just served a group of guys who came

in before me. Afterwards, she didn't bother to

ask me what I want.

My Time at the Ladysmith, WI IndianHead Cafe -- 2013

My Hope for This Restaurant – Hire More People and Fix the Outside!

Another reason I’m a bit forgiving of this place is because it appears to be family owned, although I don’t know that for sure. I don’t think they have a huge staff budget. Therefore, I can let it slide that I didn’t receive the kind of attention I would’ve expected.

I hope for two things for this place: 1. To have the money to afford to hire more people 2. To finally remodel the building’s exterior. If those two things happen, I think this could become one of the best places in Ladysmith.

By the way, I thought I took some outside shots, but I guess I didn’t. Maybe next time, but the inside looks better anyway.

My First Impression Changed after I Cherished Understanding

May 24, 2013 - No Mc Donald’s For Me Today!

At first, I wanted to order my food, and I wanted to order it now. I couldn't wait any longer. I decided to walk up to the cashier desk for one. However, I didn’t see one there, and I wound up getting one from the guys while she finished cooking. At first, it irritated me that the lady didn’t try to ask me what I wanted right away. However, I did cherish greater understanding for the female waitress/cook when I realized she has a limp.

Therefore, instead of yelling at her for not taking my order right away, I reminded myself of all the times other people were patient with me. My first impression was awkward, but it sure does beat starving — once I did eventually get my food. Besides, she had to run the entire place by herself even if she couldn’t walk the same way most people can.

Why I Gave Indianhead Café a Try -- It's What's Inside the Building That Counts

Got the Food — Finally When I finally got my cheese omelet and hash browns I ordered, I just had to take a picture of it so I could show it off to others. I took this photo before I devoured it. The food was just a little bit above average, though I wish she would’ve cooked the eggs a little bit more than she did. The hash browns tasted just right, but I usually like them slightly crispier than they were.

Still, I enjoyed it okay. I figured it sure beats starving, especially since Mc D’s was closed.

About the Service After realizing the female cook and server’s handicap, I didn’t think it would be fair of me to give the Indianhead Café a super-bad rating. However, if I had been in a hurry, which I often am, I’m not sure if this would be the place for me. It was a good thing I was on vacation at the time. On the other hand, the woman seemed friendly enough. I’m sure she would’ve accommodated if I told her I need my food as soon as possible. Even though the service wasn’t the best, I felt sorry for her and didn’t yell at her for it because she couldn’t walk as fast as most people.

Aside from Mc Donald’s not being open to the public, I took a look at the woodwork inside the restaurant. It’s quite beautiful décor if you ask me. It does look a bit “rustic.” However, that's what I would expect in the old up north. One of my favorite icons of this place is cowbell on the door. I hope next time I go to Ladysmith I’ll have picture of it to show you. I unfortunately must have deleted the one I had or just can’t find it.

At least I have an excellent picture of the entranceway. It looks like ones I've seen in rustic homes minus the paper machines. The interior dining area looks like ones I’ve seen in some homes built in the 1970s.

It’s cool if you like that sort of thing. It makes me feel like I’m ice fishing, only this time around it’s spring not winter. This place has quite a bit of historical character. I’d hate to see it go down the tubes. I hope they keep it up for as long as possible.
