Why are they migrating to Necedah?

Why? Well, the answer is simple, The Little Crane Cafe . The Little Crane is a home away from for not only locals and tourists but also it's owners, Terry and Andrea Parrish - a couple living out their life long dream and passion together and sharing it with all who walk through their doors.


That TLC must be the reason why a post I wrote over two months ago about the Little Crane has remained at the top of the list for the most popular post on this site. When I wrote the review I did so because I do really enjoy the quaint little cafe and wanted to share it with others. But, even I was surprised to see how many people were searching The Little Crane out on the internet, and where those people came from - all over the country. 


What was even more special was when I explained to Andrea about the readers searching out that review and her reaction - "Oh, I bet the one from .... was a group of campers a few years back that stayed at Buckhorn State Park."  Just about every location I named Andrea could remember a traveler to the area that had stopped by the Little Crane for a bite to eat. That to me proved that people felt the little cafe was more than just the typical diner - it was in fact a home away from home. 

Just one of the many heads in the extensive collection
on display at the Little Crane Cafe. 

So while I could once again write about the quality of the home cooked meals, and the respect given to customers in service and price - I'd much rather convey the fact that the Little Crane is a destination for many...regulars and travelers alike.  People do in fact migrate home to the Little Crane Cafe in Necedah - Who knows, maybe one day Guy Fieri from the Food Channel's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives will follow the migration and roll into the parking lot of the Little Crane - If so....make sure to be there because I am sure you will see something rare...Andrea will be speechless and Terry will have a lot to say!!! 


If you haven't been to the Little Crane...make sure to find a way to get there - and for those of you who have, you will appreciate the care and concern Andrea and Terry have put into crafting a new menu with old favorites and some new adventures......


And always....plan on an experience rather than a quick bite to eat - 





The Little Crane Cafe is just minutes away from area motels and campgrounds as well as  Buckhorn State Park and the Necedah Wildlife Refuge.

Old world ways found in Juneau County

It has been reported that Wisconsin is quickly growing into the state with the fourth largest Amish population. A fact many Juneau County locals wouldn't  in the least find surprising. 


Whether you're driving down one of the many country roads through the rolling hills or you stop by any one of the many local farmer's markets or festivals, you will sure to see what we all know, the Amish community is just one segment of the population to call Juneau County home. 

Little Crane in Necedah big on taste and value

The Big Crane - two 1/2lb patties with bacon,  BBQ sauce and American cheese served on a bun - only $7.50. That is just one example of the value you can find at the Little Crane Cafe in Necedah, WI. 


Considering the price of ground beef and bacon these days there's not a doubt that the Big Crane IS a value, but we all know that quality is essential in whether or not something is worth anything - and, after watching two teen boys consume this mammoth burger in a matter of minutes, while saying how GREAT it was - well, that was a priceless moment.  A moment that explains why the parking lot to the little cafe is always filled with the vehicles of locals in the community. 

Tasteful Memories in Lyndon Station!!!

Close your eyes and think back to being a child in Grandma's kitchen - Can you remember it? Sense it?

Well, don't worry there is a place you can go in Lyndon Station, Wisconsin where that memory will became a living reality - Memories By Taste Bakery. 

Live Simply, but always with Elegance

People are often surprised to hear that in the small village of Hustler, WI, there is a little boutique where designer fashion and accessories can be purchased  but not at that designer price. They are even more surprised when the learn that the reason the boutique is there is because of simply one person, it's simply because of JP -  recording artist Simply JP  that is.
