“delicious food, fast and won't break the bank“

“I always go here! and i love it owner is always so kind and cheap but amazing food. the workers also always look happy to help!“

“We got in later on a Friday night. After unpacking our bags, we decided to find a place to eat and this was just down the street from where our room was. I think we walked in the door around 8:00 p.m. as a matter of fact. Had two young guys working that night and it was pretty quiet as far as people inside the restaurant were concerned. I think they were busy doing to-go orders though. Very nice staff and they were quick to get our order made and out to us. Always enjoy service with a smile which seems to be a rarity these days. Pizza was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. I loved how you could get exactly what you wanted on the pizza and so I ordered some artichoke hearts. So much food we couldn't finish our pizza, so we took some home with us that night. Would definitely eat here again when I'm around there.“

“THIS PIZZA IS BEST WHILE HIGH, LIGHT UP AND TRY IT“

“We love Giovanni's and we're so glad to hear they had come back. We love their food and greatly appreciate the delivery aspect of the restaurant as well. However, we do wish they would stick the hours posted on Google and their doors. Sometimes we will find that they've closed a few hours early. Their buffet is also great but we find that when we go, they don't have any of the classic pepperoni, beef/sausage, or just cheese out very often. We love Gio's and hope to continue enjoying them often. P.S. the fruit pizzas are missed :)“

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

“Our family comes to Brainerd once a year and we cannot wait to go eat at Rafferty’s! It is our absolute favorite pizza in the world. Everything is good including the service.“

“So a guy from Pine City goes into this place and over a weekend, has new friends and a lot of fun memories. Just talking with the old timers and the locals. I can’t say enough about the bar, the bartenders, the karaoke and the locals that hang out as well as the out of towers like me. Would never think of going to Brainerd without stopping in“

“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.“

“Tryed to order on app it did not let me no points for johnny the staff was amazing tad and Dan were friendly the were super fast that was great because this clown waiting was hogging all 3 chairs her her legs and her bag what a jurk anyways amazing fast friendly staff remembered me and my car from last time I came in just wish apps worked easier“

“Our waiter was kind and quick to answer our questions and concerns about allergens. He stayed attentive during our visit and kept our waters filled. Our experience featured a beautiful view of the golf course and we got to watch planes flying by. My girlfriend and I ordered our steaks medium rare but mine came out a little tough. Hers was cooked perfect and her meal was amazing. I felt my meal was decent and not worth the price, but the shallot butter pan sauce was spectacular.

Dietary restrictions: I’m allergic to peanuts and shellfish so the waiter double checked my dinner choices. Ended up switching choices due to cross contamination in the frying oil and had to swap my fries for a loaded baked potato.“
