Filed Under (Restaurant) by The Summer Kitchen

The Summer Kitchen is still open! :) Our delicious signature soups, made-from-scratch pies and bakery items, and lovingly prepared entreés are outdone perhaps only by the atmosphere!

This is our final week for dinners. We are open daily 7:30 AM - 9:00 PM. Come enjoy a hearty cup of soup, delectable entree and a slice of homemade pie!

As of October 20th, we will change to our Fall Hours:

  • Open Tuesday through Friday, 11 AM - 3 PM
  • Open Saturday, Sunday & Monday, 7:30 AM - 4 PM

We will be open through October, and plan to be open into November and possibly part of December, depending on the weather. If the weather remains temperate, we will stay open. :) Please call us at (920) 854-2131 to confirm when we’ll be open during your visit. We’d love to see you!

A trip to Door County isn’t complete until you’ve enjoyed a meal at The Summer Kitchen. Visit our north Ephraim location on Highway 42 across from the City Farmer.
