Food scene
This is a bar and sports grill, and by far my favorite restaurant in town. Very social atmosphere, eating outside in the summer here is always an experience and fun for the entire family with outdoor games or ring toss etc. One day this spring there was a group of about 30 doing yoga! Outdoor games and families welcome.
I always order a taco, they are big and have great sauce, but everything here is great . Nachos are HUGE and feeds 3-4 persons

The most "up-scale " restaurant in Palmer. Great meals and bakery, good coffee.. Ive never had anything here that wasn't delish! The owner tries to use as much local produce as possible, so I support them even though I think its a bit pricey. But you are paying for great service and atmosphere.

Great pastries and coffee! A loaf of their bread to bring home is a must. Its a bit of a drive so it is a stop I always take on my way to Wasilla.
