The aroma alerted us to the Wilkin's presence! After we had taken the grandkids, ages 12 and 9, to the Wahpeton Zoo, we were all hungry, and so we started looking for a place to eat. My husband explained to the kids that we like...to eat at local eateries and places unique to the city we are visiting. As we were driving around looking, when we passed the Wilkin, we could smell the enticing cooking aromas. From the moment we entered, we were enthralled by the pressed-tin ceilings, the ornately, polished carved wood, the beautiful light covers, the stained-glass windows, the old-fashioned tables and chairs.
We had three very-filling specials and one order from the kids' menu, and along with drinks, the total was only $34. The Asian tacos ARE very spicy, the turkey melt on cranberry bread is very good and very filling, and the children's mac n cheese came with (waffle) fries and grapes. The sweet potato fries were crispy on the outside with rich sweet potato on the inside, and the waffle fries were spiced perfectly; neither were greasy. Our waitress was good, even refilling the root beer and our coffees without being asked. An excellent choice to support a locally-owned eatery.More
