[01/01/2009] One of the nice things about vacation or time off is having time to enjoy a great breakfast. The Viking Grill & Lounge in the middle of Ellison Bay, Door County, Wisconsin is one of those great breakfast places. Located on Highway 42, it is easy to get to from just about any place in Door County.
The Viking Grill & Lounge serves lunch and dinner besides breakfast. On this trip, we just ate breakfast at The Viking. It is one of the restaurants in Door County open year round serving up good food to locals and visitors alike.
The Viking Grill & Lounge is your basic breakfast restaurant. Eggs, pancakes, potatoes, sausage, bacon, and toast in many combinations are the mainstay of The Viking. They do have great Omelettes, Hash and Eggs Benedict besides the basics. The breakfast is not gourmet at The Viking, just great basic breakfast fair. But on a cold winter day, a great basic breakfast is just what you want to start your day.
The prices are reasonable, with most breakfast selections are in the $6 to $9 range. Coffee is $1.50, but is a bottomless cup. The eggs are done just the way you like them. If you order pancakes, you get a huge stack, more than most people can eat. I personally like their hashbrowns. They have a crispy top, but the insides are not too done.
Because The Viking Grill is also a Lounge (read bar), you can have Bloody Mary's with your breakfast if you so desire. The coffee is great, served in a croft with nice big mugs.
Overall The Viking Grill & Lounge is a great breakfast place when visiting Door County, Wisconsin. The prices are reasonable and the food is great. Not much more you can ask for to start your day.
If you are visiting Door County in the summer, you really have to try their Viking Fish Boil. They have been serving this Door County tradition since 1939 and they have it down pat.
