Being Minnesotans we loved trying the local meal of a "Horseshoe" which added to the experience. We weren't quite sure what to think of meat on bread covered in french fries and cheese sauce but it was surprisingly good, and they even accommodated the dietary needs within our group which was very much appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed every minute of our time at the ALPLM and highly recommend it for groups of any size. R&J Tours
