The Castaways on Pistakee Lake

This past Sunday, Liz and I went with friends Paul and Sue to Castaways on Pistakee Lake and had a delicious Easter brunch of breakfast items and prime rib for $10.99. Normally, it is $7.50 when they don't have the rib.

Liz had gone here last Sunday and raved about their great, extra-crispy bacon. But when I went through, it wasn't so crispy. Mentioned it to the waitress who immediately went into the kitchen and returned a few minutes later with heaping plates of the crispiest bacon ever. Paul later 'fessed up that he had gone through the line first and corralled the crispiest pieces.

Great price, good food, and what you have to call a "million dollar view" looking east across Pistakee Lake toward Fox Lake. Warm, bur a bit windy so ate inside by the windows.

This has been a place on the Chain that has been there ever since we started boating back in 1985. How long it was there before that I don't know. It is located near the entrance to the Fox River and by Bald Knob Marina.

For most of the time, it was Harmony Resort, then for awhile Lucky's which attracted some folks we didn't care for so stopped going. Castaways has been there two years now, and like Arnold says. "We'll be back!"
