The establishment had many owners – for many years Sam and Ester Rineck owned the place and some still refer to it as Sam’s Place.

The current owners, Art and Sue Schroeder, purchased the place in 2005 and have developed a huge following. It has even been named one of the “top ten best places to drive to in Wisconsin” by Travel Wisconsin.
