Family Restaurants near Crosslake, MN

“This is an annual stop when I'm in the area on vacation. I get to connect with friends who gather there every Wednesday for dinner and the meat raffle. Food is good and the service on 10/4 was suburb. I got lucky (REALLY LUCKY) on the meat raffle. Won 4x on $20 in tickets. The raffle supports the Northern Lakes Youth Hockey Association. Oh...and the MN Twins won their wildcard game while we were there...so something else to celebrate.“

“My family (husband, 3 boys, and I) came here on a Wednesday morning at about 8 am. The parking lot was mostly full, but there were many tables open inside. The restaurant was decorated with vintage/antique/recycled items, and sunshine streams in through the front window making it warm and inviting. We ordered at the counter, then found a table to sit at while we waited for our food. The beverages are self-serve, but the food was brought to the table. We didn't wait too long, and we were rewarded with wonderful food and smiling service! My husband and I ordered The Whole 9 Yards (eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, and potatoes all covered in sausage gravy), my 11-year-old and 6-year-old ordered the French Toast Special, and my 9 y.o. ordered a blueberry pancake - which the waitress/hostess said was very large - and it was, about the size of 3 pancakes! The pancake tasted like a blueberry muffin and needed no syrup. The Whole 9 Yards was rich and tasty! The French toast was served with bacon and cheesy scrambled eggs and was quickly devoured. Everyone thought that everything was very good! If we are in the area again, we would definitely go back!“
