O'Farrell Sisters

O'Farrell Sisters in Okoboji

The O'Farrell Sister is a historic Okoboji Tradition that one must check out for breakfast and lunch!

'Farrell Sisters History
The O'Farrell Sisters restaurant was born in 1949 at the bridge on Hwy 71, between East and West Lake Okoboji. Edna Mae and Arlene O'Farrell bought the business from Ike Kissinger who was running for Sheriff of Dickinson County.

In the early years the girls were open seven days a week and had a booming business in no time. The fried chicken dinners on Sunday evenings were especially popular. There were times when the line waiting to get in was so long they'd have to lock the door and would often run out of chicken!

In 1959 Arlene married and moved to Tallahassee, Florida with her husband Furman Henderson. Edna Mae and Ferne continued in the restaurant, moving to its present location that same year. This spot had a garden and chicken coup, which was moved to the house across the street.

Ferne died in 1974 and Edna Mae in 1978. Arlene sold the business to nieces Joyce Gapinski, Jo Ann Anderson, Charlotte Sarvie and Cheri Petersen (these are married names). The nieces successfully ran the restaurant from 1979 through 2003. After losing Jo Ann in 1997 and Cheri in 2002, Joyce and Charlotte decided to sell after the 2003 season.

The rest is to be continued...

We worked with Will while we were buying a condo in Okoboji. Will was actually working for the seller but helped us close the saleI was so impressed with how he dealt with the elderly sellers by making our sale happen so the couple could close on another house out of town within 24 hours.Would use Will for any buying/selling in the area

My husband and I have known Will for over 6 years and he has driven many miles to show us dozens of homes. He is an outstanding professional, yet very down-to-earth and relatable. Will's knowledge of the Iowa Great Lakes area is in his genes-- It's like he knows every inch.He is responsive, intuitive, and wise. You will be blessed if Will is your realtor. He is the best.

Will was very flexible to our needs when house hunting, knew the area well, and was on top of the market- otherwise we may not have the wonderful home we have now! Thanks Will!

Was struggling to find a home with another agent for weeks. Was able to talk to Will a bit about my frustrations and within a week found exactly what I needed and where. Would always consider working with him first and foremost
