“1st time visiting here, had omelet and wife had a breakfast as well. All great! Hash browns were actually brown and just the way I like them. Omelet had very good amount of ham et al. Shout out to waitress Lilli, very attentive, helpful and a very pleasant personality! Though we live elsewhere, our experience was very good! if opportunity arises, will return“

“Why is it when we order a single Butterburger, they decide to sell us a double Butterburger and charge us for that? How convenient that they don’t give you a receipt and don’t know it until you open the wrapper. Done in or drive thru is the same. All The Time!“

“Stopped in last week with the family after my daughters school program. We all had a great time together. The food was awesome, especially the triple chocolate meltdown with ice cream I ordered and enjoyed with the kiddos before our main course. 😋“

“Had a bad experience ordering out. My cheese curds were burnt some were just shells, so were my sweet potato fries. I took pictures they were so bad I threw them away.“

“Cole at the bar was awesome! Always on his toes. Appetizers were yummy! We will be back“

“got the grizzlies bloody Mary. for only $13 it was a 28 oz glass with their homemade bloody Mary mix 1/4 of a chicken. The thigh and leg rotisserie style, fabulous, celery cheese olives lemon and bacon. All for $13. then I had an appetizer of firecracker shrimp with blue cheese dressing. It was absolutely delicious!“

“Tiny little diner with INCREDIBLE food, small town atmosphere & kindness. Fast service. Better pies than Betty's Pies up in Two Harbors. We head out of town tomorrow but will swing by on our way for another slice or two to bring home!“

“The Food was delicious and the drinks are even better.“

“The food was absolutely fantastic! And the service was impeccable! Our bartender (ie. Janel) was able to hold down the entire restaurant, including the bar! So happy for the food and service that we have now dedicated to becoming monthly customers.“

“So pleasantly surprised! Great food and service. Many healthy options on the menu, and fabulous soup ! Highly recommend!“

“I don’t typically write reviews, but I went to this restaurant 1.5 months ago and had their chicken salad sandwich and a bloody mary. I became a part of the clean plate club that day. This is the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my entire life. The buns, the perfect temperature of the chicken salad, love and kisses in every bite. The fries were also amazing as well as the Bloody Mary. I live like 3 hours away but have thought of driving that far just for this sandwich. I think about it so much I had to come and write a review because it crosses my mind more than it should. The waitress was also super nice! One day I will be reunited with this sandwich again!“

“Absolutely phenomenal service. Food was delicious with awesome healthy options. Also great GF selections! Beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere.“

“My husband said his burger was amazing!!! You could tell it was amazing just looking at it!! Potato chips taste homemade. Good spices. ;) Strawberry lemonade was so refreshing!
Ernies is on a beautiful lake with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good!!! Server was sweet.
The only reason I gave a 4 star and not a 5, is the kitchen closed at 8pm, but the website said 9pm. We got there a few minutes before 8, so we had to rush ordering. I honestly didn't have a chance to even review the menu so i just ordered lemonade. :( Management needs to update these things!!!“

“we went up for the last weekend if golf, though it was cold we had a great time. everybody we encountered there was so nice and professional. live music at the pub was great! we watched the Bagpiper walk the Pine East Green to close put the season, very cool. definitely recommend purchasing any of the packages they have to offer!“

“Staff was excellent. Food was delicious. The only thing was the tap water tasted horrible every time I came.“

“Went to St. Mathias last night with mama and had some excellent food and great drinks, great staff were very attentive and I got to see Big Al!! We will definitely be back! 5 star all the way“

“Breakfast Skillet! Ordered milk & it came in a chilled glass, super nice“

“Tiny little diner with INCREDIBLE food, small town atmosphere & kindness. Fast service. Better pies than Betty's Pies up in Two Harbors. We head out of town tomorrow but will swing by on our way for another slice or two to bring home!“

“Is this place handicap accessible. Our group has a couple non-ambulatory people“

“Absolutely best restaurant I’ve been to in Minnesota. I wish they had the classic grill in the cities, but it’s always a special treat coming to our lake home and getting the experience of eating here. The food is phenomenal, the staff is amazing and the atmosphere is unmatched. Every time I visit, I can count on trying one of the new menu items and being in awe of the flavors and presentation. The favorite orders of our group were the Indonesian chicken satay appetizer, the chef’s risotto, and the truffle citrus scallops. My attached picture won’t do it justice, but the presentation of the meals is so unique. If they had Michelin star restaurants in Minnesota, this would for sure be the running. Maddens resort is truly the best location in the brainerd area.“

“Absolutely one of our most favorite restaurants to go to. We travel little over an hour just to enjoy there always amazing hot food, great customer service and warming welcome as soon as you enter. No matter what we have ordered we have never been disappointed and there caramel and cinnamon rolls are always something we take home with us. I highly suggest the caramel or cinnamon roll as an absolute must!!“

“I absolutely love eating here! The vibe is always relaxing. I have never had a beverage or plate that I did not love.“

“Amazing!!! Pizza was so good and never had wings like these before. An added plus was the service - happy and on top of everything.“

“Love, love, love Dunmire's! Went last night and was surprised by the new menu. Same great food, much higher prices tho. Careful guys, this is still Brainerd.“

“Our server was Mindy S.“
