We had lunch at the deli and it was surprisingly great! The BLAT (blt w/avocado), Reuben and blackened prime rib sandwiches were outstanding. We will be stopping back by the next time we are at the lake!

We love the Clark Store! Great place to eat breakfast or lunch, grab a few groceries, buy some liquor/bait, use the post office or get ice cream in the summer. They have it all and the best views!
