BEST ROLLS IN OTTER TAIL COUNTY

Whether you live in Otter Tail Lakes Country or are just here for a visit, there’s nothing quite like a fresh CARAMEL ROLL on a Saturday morning.  (or any morning for that matter)  The hardest part can be finding the hidden gems that the locals love.  In our effort to make finding YOUR own INNER OTTER as easy as possible, we’ve compiled a list of some of the BEST ROLLS in Otter Tail County.  This isn’t an official designation, we just asked people for recommendations and then made time to check them out for ourselves.

Nootzi’s On Main – Dent

The most recommended roll in our unscientific survey was Nootzi’s on Main in Dent, MN.  Don’t let the small town fool you, these rolls are worth the drive.  The secret to success for these rolls… Nootzi makes sure to add extra caramel from the pan before serving up your roll.

Carr’s Country Super Market- Ottertail, MN

Convenience is key when it comes to making the most of your time in Otter Tail Lakes Country.  If you are in a hurry, or trying to be efficient with your stops, you will want to make sure to swing by Carr’s Country Super Market in the city of Ottertail.  Not only are the caramel rolls top notch, you can load up on other supplies, like bait, gas & groceries.  Just make sure to get there early, as the rolls don’t last long.

Eagle’s Cafe- New York Mills

Another stop that we thoroughly enjoyed making was the Eagle’s Cafe in New York Mills, MN.  The rolls have a lightness to them that makes them appealing to anyone, yet they don’t skimp on the gooey goodness when it comes to caramel.  If you do pay them a visit, make sure to save room for pie.  They make some of the area’s best.  Or maybe save that for another visit on another day.

The Viking Cafe- Fergus Falls

If you are in, or near, our County Seat, you might want to take a seat at the landmark diner known as the Viking Cafe in Fergus Falls, MN.  Big breakfasts are the trademark of The Viking Cafe.  They offer both booth and old-fashioned counter seating, as well as some very tasty rolls.  It’s family friendly and no matter what you order, you won’t be disappointed.

The Corner Store- Ottertail Lake

On the West end of Ottertail Lake, there exists another spot that’s all about convenience.  The Corner Store is on the corner of HWY 145 & Co. Rd 1.  The rolls are fabulous and you can gear up for a day on the lake while you are there.  Don’t forget to get a T-Shirt to let all your friends know you were there.

Other eateries worth a visit:  LOON’S NEST, Vergas, MN / MUDDY MOOSE, Pelican Rapids / CITY BAKERY, Fergus Falls. Did we miss any?
