Bites Nearby: A Hearty History
For 40 years, this landmark in Lakeville has served up heaping helpings.
Not too long ago, Lakeville was closer to being a rural farm community than a booming suburb. Then, there weren't many restaurants around to cater to a legendary Midwestern farmer's appetite. Buckboard Family Restaurant met that need, and 40 years later, they are still serving up big portions to locals and visitors.
The "Buckboard Special," one of their signature breakfasts, is a great example. A mountain of sausage, cheese, American potatoes, green peppers, and onions sits alongside two eggs and a generous serving of toast. It's not just quantity—the sausage is delicious and the potatoes are sauteed to a perfect balance of tender and crisp.
"You won't leave hungry," Chef Hesham Abdel-Khalek, or "Chef Sham," said with pride.
