Marge’s Diner is a cozy little breakfast and lunch nook located in the heart of Lakes country in the old Betty’s Pantry in downtown Ottertail, MN. So when Tracy of North & Nest Magazine contacted me about their feature, I was absolutely stoked to highlight the transformation of the what was formerly known as Betty’s Pantry.. Since opening their doors in Ottertail in Mid-May 2024, they have been serving delicious breakfast and lunch options to their beloved and hungry customers right in the heart of lakes country. They are proud to say that we are known for our homemade pies, fluffy pancakes, and crispy bacon. And by pancakes, I mean “The Pancake,” the XL fluffy disc topped with butter, waiting to be smothered in their house-made maple syrup.
At Marge’s Diner, they believe good food brings people together, which means these are my kind of people. Where they strive to create a friendly and inviting atmosphere for everyone who walks through their doors.

““This summer in Ottertail, we really want to focus on creating a regular menu of homemade pies and desserts. For over 25 years, Betty’s was known for good pies. We’d love to continue that reputation and make great pies a staple at Marge’s - with a few twists of our own.””
