The Wilkin Drink & Eatery - Breckenridge, MN

Just east of the main crossroads in downtown Breckenridge, MN, is the Wilkin Drink & Eatery (508 Minnesota Avenue). Housed in an historic building, it is one of the few establishments in the Wahpeton-Breckenridge area that seems to make an effort on food and atmosphere. The ceiling is lined with pressed tin and there are remnants of a bank dividing part of the space. In other areas are large booths and a bar. The casual atmosphere and familiar menu selections makes for no-pressure dining experience.

I have only visited twice and never ventured far on the menu. My sense is that it includes extended pub fare. A variety of burgers and sandwiches are available. Servers are friendly and portions and price are reasonable. If you know anyone from the area, you'll probably see a familiar face when you're there! It seems to have a local following.
