“Get the juke box out of the restaurant, most irritating music !!noticed many people leaving not a place to constantly play heavy metal music loud we could not wait to get our dinner and go some place with normal music”
“Cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good service. The best part was the food. Went there for the Valentines Day Sweetheart Dinner. I wasn't quite sure at first because the food was alittle fancier than I am used to, but the taste was amazing.”
“Just want folks to be aware that this restaurant no longer has any pinball tables. We stopped to play on the numerous tables listed in photos and previous reviews while on our way up north. Staff was very friendly. However, we decided to continue on and did not eat here.”
“Best place for food in and around Deerwood. Love the history of this building and the comfortable way it has been decorated. Always grateful for the top-notch service.”
“Order frequently through the app. Very little wait time. I've called in, and the person was friendly on the line. I have also gone in-person and felt the counter person was a little rude. So customer service can always be improved. As for the food, no complaints, kids approved too.”
“Stumbled across this place while visiting Cuyuna park. The brisket was AMAZING. Great atmosphere the staff was super attentive. One recommendation I would give is to offer mac and cheese as a side option. Overall great experience and will definitely be back!”
“Fantastic brewery with LIVE music? Definitely worth a stop for one.. or a few. Great service and dog friendly. Plenty of seating and large enough bar to keep service going.”
“Wow!! In town visiting friends for the weekend, and was pleasantly surprised with quality of food, everything was delicious!! Pad Thai, Spicy Basil Beef Linguini, chicken eggs rolls and cream cheese wontons, choose any of these you can't go wrong!!”
“We had the Caesar salad, cheese bread and cuyuna woodfire pizza. So yummy!! Loved the pizza crust. Great mix of greens in the salad. Very reasonably priced, good quality. One recommendation would be to jazz up the marinara dipping sauce.”
“This place is so delicious, my 6 year old daughter loved being able to choose from the variety of fixings for her chicken burrito. She stated "wow this is like the best burrito EVER the people that live here are so lucky". Super friendly service as well. We will be back next time we come through from ice fishing!”
“Coffee was very good and the breakfast sandwiches and baked goods extremely tasty. First visited in 2020 while traveling and recently stopped by while again in town...you will not be disappointed.”
“We stopped in on our way home from visiting family. I had the biscuit and gravy and a side of bacon. Fresh biscuit s gravy full of sausage but not very flavorful bacon was done crispy just the way it was like it. Coffee was kept full. It is your typical cafe nothing fancy but good food and service.”
“One of my family's favorite places to stop for a drink while we are staying at our cabin in Crosby. Great bartenders, great patrons, great drinks, and great atmosphere. Helps that we have been pretty luck with pull tabs here too.”
“A good small town local bar. They do bar bingo and meat raffles and it's just a good local atmosphere. We befriended some of the locals and had a great time.”
“Best wood fired pizza in the state of Minnesota. The convenient location off the Cuyuna State trail makes Happy Otter a must visit destination in the Cuyuna area. This pizza is worth every pedal stroke.”
“We three ladies decided to stop for “dessert” after we had dinner somewhere else. We sat up at the bar because we love to watch Mixologists work their magic!! The young bartender acknowledged us right away and let us know it would be a few minutes. She was making cocktails for a table of 6. We let her know it was fun to watch her work and not to rush!! She ran the drinks over and came back to assist us. 2 White Russians and an Espresso Martini. I have had a few Espresso Martinis in my life, this was one of the best!! While she was making our cocktails the male bartender came and apologized for having us wait!! What do Misses need?? We “MATURE “ women teased him about being called Misses!!! We let him know that the young lady bartender was mixing our drinks right now. They only issue we had was they were playing 70’s rock! And quite loud!! We enjoyed it immensely! Cheers!!”
“The owners are friendly. The donuts are quite generous in size, with a price to match. Would like the prices to be along side each donut so we'd have known about what we were spending for a half dozen.”
“Nice little establishment with friendly folks on both sides of the bar. Weekly meat raffles and plenty of pull tabs to choose from. All in all a quiet friendly place to spend a little leisure time.”
“Awesome, quaint little peaceful and welcoming bar. Great service. Great friends and everybody's attitudes were top notch quality. Good place 2 settle all your thoughts and worries and let the fire water wash it all away ”
“We recently had Taconite cater an event for us and we were highly impressed! The food was excellent, the staff was great and they stayed the entire event to ensure the food was being served fresh and hot!! We will be using Taconite for any future events! If you are looking yourself to get an event catered, use Taconite! You won’t be disappointed! ~The Clinic for Medical Aesthetics”
“We had burgers & fries, they were awesome... It was Monday, to our surprise it was ¹/² price burger night (starts 4:00)...Food came out hot & quick...Best food around, can't think of anywhere else I'd want to go!???Carl & his staff are great!”
“The lady and I decided to go to Crosby instead of Brainerd. Worth it. I got a New York strip and she got chili with fancy fries. Had armadillo eggs for an appetizer. Really good. Everything was really good. Beer too! Plus the Patron wasn't bad either.”
“Got the .99 wings on Wednesday.It is half a wing. Dummies. Great flavor, but could use 3 minutes on fire for a little crisp.Croft has whole wings.Chicken tacos were ok.”
“5 of us came in not long before they closed on Tuesday (August 1st) and the only person working was extremely pleasant even though I know she had a lot of work to do. Thank you!”
“I love this Restaurant. Small, creative and changing menu. Always fresh and hand-made. Great staff, great drinks. The only thing I would complain about, is, that the Restaurant is too cold and you always feel a little breeze coming through, but it wouldn't stop me from going there.”
“Clean store. Portions are a bit tinier than they used to be but the quality was good. I was happy to see an employee who embraces an alternative lifestyle. That means even in a small town, DQ is”
“Lonesome Pine is not just a fabulous restaurant with spectacular food choices from sophisticated to heart warming, the atmosphere welcomes you as does the staff the moment you walk in. You won’t want to leave. You owe it to yourself to find Lonesome Pine it if you are anywhere in the Mille Lacs/ Brainerd Lakes area.”
