“The stuffed walleye is fantastic and the side of peppers and pea pods was also delicious“

“Every year the girls get a pup cup for their birthday. Usually we go to that other ice cream place, but I like Culver's custard and figured I'd stop in quick and inquire for her birthday on Monday. The very sweet employee thought I was asking for one instead of just inquiring if they do that at this location and came back with one for the girls. They were spoiled a little early and we will definitely be back on their birthday and other days for service like this. Thank you so much for making mine and the girls day🍨💜“

“We had an excellent lunch today! The waitress did notify us right away that they were still new to the systems and a new owner and that things may be a little chaotic but, It was our first time stopping in and we hope to make it up that way again, soon! Picture may look weird but I'm a NO BUN gal. I also want to mention the fries were PERFECT! We were pleasantly surprised when they arrived already seasoned and they were hot and crispy but not overcooked I even told my granddaughter I think those were the best order of french fries I've ever had anywhere because they were hot and perfect and seasoned! The waitress also suggested the seasoned sour cream over the plain sour cream, and I would definitely recommend to do that, it was all delicious! The building is cool and it's got a great looking outdoor patio that we wanted to sit at but it kept raining off and on so we decided to sit inside. But next time I would love to sit outside! I know there was one person working behind the bar and I'm pretty sure our server was the only one working the whole floor other than possibly the new owner, or maybe it was the manager, that was helping to bus tables a little bit, and take out food and she/server did an amazing job.“

“Had Valentines Dinner here last Saturday! It was our first visit and our first time out as new parents of 2! I cannot express how phenomenal the food was! Yes, phenomenal! The steaks we both had we cooked to perfection, the seasoning was on point! The lobster mac...Yes pay the extra money for it...absolutely worth it! Even the mashed potatoes were sooo great! Man we can't wait to come back and try more food items!!! (I had the Surf and Turf special and he had the Peppercorn crusted NY strip)....our waitress was also wonderful as well!!“

“I moved in earlier than I planned because there wa no reason not too. I am very happy at The Waters and so glad I made the move. The "cottages" are wonderful even though there is downsizing to get done. The staff is very helpful and cheerful. The food is great - besides the 'every day menu," there are specials for lunch and dinner. The menu is quite varied with chicken, beef/veal, pork, turkey and vegetarian.“

“stop by this wonderful eating establishment. The owner donated over $500 in meals to Josh who feeds the homeless. What a wonderful owner my shout out is THANK YOU FOR CARING YOU ARE AWESOME.. When you stop by for your meal remember what she did giving a meal to someone starving & give Bristo your shout out....“

“Decided to stop by for a drive thru visit and this location did not disappoint!

I received very accurate and helpful service, it was quick and everything tasted awesome. I just had to take a pic of my turtle custard bc they did such a good job on it!

Plus the grilled onions were perfect on my burger.

Only complaint would be that my fries completely spilled in the bag, like they were out in there upside down… still tasted good tho haha“

“We ate dinner last night around 6:30pm and had the best experience! We were seated promptly and greeted by our waitress who was friendly and gave the best service. The food was delicious. I got the Jordan Hometown burger- garlic aoli was top notch, mouth watering bun, cheesy with bacon and rosemary, I will come back for this burger!!!! The fries were seasoned perfectly. My significant other got the BBQ platter and thought it was tasty as well. He substituted the potato salad for mashed potatoes. I got a frozen strawberry daquri and a mudslide... both were out of this world. This was his first time and my second time coming here, definitely won't be our last. The restaurant was clean, it wasn't noisy and the booths were comfortable. I wish I could tell you our servers name because she was so awesome!“

“We’ve used Mr Pig for the last few years for many birthday parties and it is always a crowd pleaser. Our guests love the hog roasts and augratin potatoes as their favorites 🙂. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hog roast/catering service for their parties!! Most importantly, it comes highly approved by our favorite birthday boy 🐶 who gets to see his BFF’s each summer for his very own birthday plate 😁 🐶.“

“Had a great time at Bango. The DJ was awesome! Such a great time and GREAT food!“

“We stay at Mystic Lake every year we go to the Renfest. Food is always good. We go to the cafe every day we stay. Whether it’s dinner or breakfast or lunch.

Breakfast can be probably the most hectic and longest wait to find a seat as everybody is going there as they’re checking out.
The staff is usually polite, even with all the craziness going on.“

“The food here is always great and the service is as well. Definitely a hidden gem on the lake.“

“The venue and staff were outstanding to work with! My daughter’s wedding was absolutely perfect! Thank you to Bryan and everyone at Turtle’s for an amazing time. Highly recommend!“

“Totally chill spot definitely for the older crowd A lot of people knew each other bar staff was very nice and people at the bar were very welcoming and allowed me to sit in between them and didn't make me feel awkward so it was pretty cool experience I've heard that they have a comedy store here as well as live entertainment on Tuesdays so check it out pretty bomb“

“Staff has always been friendly and knows the food they serve! This was my first date with my husband many (57) years ago. We pop in from time to time to share time together. Now that he is gone I bring my children and grandchildren and friends here to share this place .“

“Great place to win! Again!“

“Great customer service!!!“

“A beautifully appointed restaurant with a perfect menu selection.

One key thing not to miss are the side dishes the carrots with dates where incredible with just the right blend of spices to make such a simple side dish unforgettable.

For those that are worried about the horseradish spread, don’t worry the kick is very “Minnesota” light you won’t even know it’s horseradish.“

“The chicken Parmesan and asada bowl are some my favorite dishes here. The Happy hour Buy 1 Get 1 for $1 is the best in the area. I typically come because bartender Julieta is awesome and fast with drinks.“
