Al and Alma’s Supper Club was founded in 1956 by Al and Alma Quist. During the day Al was a firefighter and the Mayor of Island Park, at night he cooked the best food on the lake! His idea of creating a dining destination worth making a trip for propelled a lasting history as Lake Minnetonka's longest operating restaurant. Open for dinner only, today's modern restaurant embraces recipes that have spanned three generations. The term "Supper Club" embraces our past but requires no membership! Hand cut steaks, slow cooked BBQ ribs, famous campstyle walleye and homemade desserts accompany modern American fare and delightful nightly specials including fresh ocean fish. Join us out on Phelps Island; you'll be glad you did!Al & Alma's restaurant is a perfect choice if you want a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, good food, and wonderful service.

It was a good dining experience. . . Roomy and the place was not too loud. I had mushroom risotto (which I shared with my son) and my husband had ribeye and a chocolate mousse we shared after the meal. Both were cooked to perfection. Our server was exceptional. We’re glad to hear that they will resume their lunch hours. We will definitely go back.

We popped in for a quick midweek meal and were seated in the side room of the To La Bay Hazelwood for the first time. Perfect! Casual, the bowl game was in the TV next to us, our server Tommy was great, and our two post-holiday salads were delicious! What more could you ask for! We’ll be back!

My husband and I had an awesome dinner at Ike's. The food, service and ambience were outstanding. You can actually have a conversation and hear each other, there's no loud music, it was great! My husband had the prime rib, it was done perfect. I had the walleye and it was great. Looking forward to dining there again soon.
