Restaurants near Lake Shore

“Was looking for a quick place to catch a beer and some "bar food' after a day on the lake, so we stopped in. Turns out we were wrong, this place served cold beer from a long menu, had the most courteous staff (were more than happy to deal with food allergies, with a smile) and then served us food that should have been in a top tier restaurant. To say the least we were more than happy and will always come back when in the area.”

“Bar Harbor is always a must when we’re on Gull Lake—whether it’s dinner or just some appetizers during the day. The food and service are consistently great, and they’ve got a solid liquor list to round it all out!”

“We were tired after biking a d kayaking, and saw this place! We both very much enjoyed our burrito bowls and Jarritos! Very nice people and it was delicious!”

“My son treated me to Ippin Ramen Sushi in Baxter, MN as a Dinner treat. We ordered as recommended by my son the Sushi and Ramen and Green Tea Ice-cream! All of this was for my birthday celebration! I was totally surprised and impressed 100%! Our waitress who is a young lady was so warm and friendly as well as very gracious , the entire restaurant staff made our day there so welcoming and inviting! We plan on coming back to celebrate my son's birthday as well! I highly recommend entirely to all who want to experience Japanese food in a very delicious way! You will want to continue on coming back over and over again! Thank You, Lois D.”

“1st time visiting here, had omelet and wife had a breakfast as well. All great! Hash browns were actually brown and just the way I like them. Omelet had very good amount of ham et al. Shout out to waitress Lilli, very attentive, helpful and a very pleasant personality! Though we live elsewhere, our experience was very good! if opportunity arises, will return”

“I am so thankful that you deliver food to my work! The summer berry salad is amazing! Thank you so much!!!”

“The barria tacos were incredible! Best meal I've had in a while! Our table also got the cheese curds and rueben egg rolls which were fantastic as well. Great view of Gull lake too!”

“Go here quite often. Great staff, food, and fun. I highly recommend.”

“Fun spot to stop!!! Friendly staff, clean cute interior, huge exterior!!🍺👍”

“Old school great pizza thanks”

“Try the cinnamon Christmas with hot honey! 🔥 🍯. So good!”

“Great accommodation's, food and service during a working lunch meeting for a group of 15! Thank you so much.”

“Pizza is amazing. Plain and simple, crispy crust, delicious ingredients. Quality is incredible. Customer service is always on point. My son left his very special and important Minecraft sheep stuffed animal there. He was very upset. The staff watched over the stuffed animal until my folks were able to pick it up on their way back through town. Made his day, and week, and mine. Thank you. Support this business and skip the garbage low quality pizza and treat yourself to something you won’t regret. These people and their food is special!!!”

“It's really nice here. I really loved my pizza and the desserts pizza was delicious . I'll definitely come back. Very clean . polite workers also. It's definitely 100% ..”

“We went to Sunshine’s for supper Wednesday night and had the pizza. It was the best ever. I usually don’t eat the crust but this crust was tender and good. Looking forward to our next visit.”

“I stopped in around 2pm on 7/5 while heading home from up north (for a to-go order). They weren't very busy, likely because they close at 3pm, though it felt like they'd had a busy holiday weekend.

The staff was friendly & quickly helped show me on the dry-erase menu boards that a few items were no longer available for the day on their house specialties menu, including paninis & breakfast sandwiches (the BYO lunch menu also wasn't available). My husband had hoped for a breakfast sandwich, but breakfast ends at 1pm. I ordered the veggie wrap with cheese & ranch instead of mayo & avocado. They were skimpy on the cheese & ranch, but the ingredients were incredibly fresh, which made up for it (and because they were conservative on the ranch, it wasn’t soggy to eat half later). The full-size wrap was huge and it came with kettle chips & a pickle spear. I’m primarily vegetarian & appreciated having a filling option— it felt like a great value.

My husband said the mini glazed donuts were pretty good. I loved browsing the fun gift shop area, especially the greeting cards. It's only about a mile off Hwy 371, and I'd definitely stop back to try more of the menu and grab some to-go items.”

“Great eggs Benedict ( and I’ve worked for years in the restaurant industry). My favorite breakfast place in the Brainerd Lakes area. Plus, they are family owned and run. Love it!”

“I love there watermelon lemonade with blueberry poppings and strawberry lemonade it was so good”

“Great food and service! We had the shrimp tacos and a Reuben. Both were excellent. Very good tap list and drinks as well.”

“Fantastic pizza! We scarfed it right on down. The taco is sooo good, but the chicken pesto? 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Amazing!! I have also gotten the chicken strips and cheese curds which were also super delicious!”

“Breakfast Skillet! Ordered milk & it came in a chilled glass, super nice”

“Wonderful experience, Emily and Kayla did a fantastic job at making me feel welcomed the second I walked in. They also got my drinks out efficiently and stayed busy the entire time I was in the lobby. Great job, keep up the good work! (And the drinks were fantastic!)”

“Great place to take the family or for a date night! Lots of different options food and drink wise. Friendly staff and welcoming locals!”

“We were there yesterday and I left my denim shirt. The bartender Derek saw it right away and put away for safe keeping! Thank you! The whole staff is great!”

“It's okay for a MN lakes restaurant. Not the best, but better than average for Brainerd area I suppose. Scallops delish but $18 per scallop is not indicative of the quality. I would have been happier with 5 Scallops instead of 3. No food gasms for anything and the bread is worthless tasteless dough. Sorry, but do better for a 4.7 $200 dinner for 2.”

“Try the cinnamon Christmas with hot honey! 🔥 🍯. So good!”

“We were so happy to find this new restaurant. The food was amazing ( especially the butternut squash). There are unique menu options and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend this restaurant and, next time we are in the Brainerd area we will be going there again !”

“this dunkin looks really clean and well maintained. from what i’ve heard, the staff is friendly and service is quick. it seems like a great spot to grab coffee or breakfast on the go.”

“We hired Petals and Beans to do our flowers for our wedding! They are extremely friendly and very easy to work with! Once I filled out my form Dyana made sure we kept in contact to make sure everything was correct! When we got the flowers I was in awe about how beautiful everything was! I have seen their work many times and never been disappointed! I would highly recommend this company for any type of occasion to get the most beautiful flowers and plants! Thanks ladies for everything you have done for us to make our day perfect! Love, The Makowsky’s”

“We ordered three boxes of sandwiches I think at least one guy came in early to make sure the sandwiches were done in a timely manner, which was greatly appreciated
Super nice people”
