Welcome to Peg's Countryside Cafe

Looking for a great place to stop in for a hot cup of coffee or a sumptuous burger? Need a quick and easy meal for a meeting or group gathering? Just wondering what the little yellow and red building with the apron-wearing chicken is all about?

Welcome to the Countryside Café. For three decades, Peggy Rasmussen and her crew have served meal after meal after
meal --- more than three million by their estimation --- to customers at this cozy 55-seat restaurant in Hamel, Minnesota, on the western outskirts of the Twin Cities.

Over the years, the Countryside Café has become much more than just a comfortable place to gather for a delicious breakfast or lunch. We're open 7 days a week, and offer phenomenal food, convenient catering and a decidedly down-home alternative to chain restaurants and fast food.
