“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!”

“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.”

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”

“Appreciate their offerings and delicious carnitas, can take to go next door to Cayuna Brewing if you want ambiance. Just wish they would use cardboard bowl or washable eat in dish, instead of the large, styrofoam container with every order. With area’s focus on outdoor recreation, a more earth friendly container would be appreciated by patrons.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“great service today.. great atmosphere .. we had the all you can eat ribs.. great flavor .. might of been a bit over cooked.. but not if you like " fall off the bone" style.. tender and hot!!! I'd go back for them again... Wirth the stop..”

“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.”

“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”
