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.”

“We haven’t been to Zorbaz on Gull Lake for years and decided to try their pizza tonight! It was ready on time and tasted amazing with generous toppings! Well worth the money! We’ll be back!!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Amazing food and service.”

“Came in for a light bite and ordered the prime rib nachos. They were easily some of the best nachos I’ve had in the area. My dining partner and I split them, and they were more than filling enough for both of us. The prime rib was incredibly tender and packed with flavor.

Service was very fast and attentive, though at times it felt like the staff was almost running away before I could get a word in.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“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.

“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!!!”

“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 came in today after not having caribou for a while. I used to get the refresher style drinks but they are no longer on the menu and wasn’t sure what to get, but Jamie was very helpful and polite, she recommended me a drink and it was very good. I got great service, and the other barista made my drink very fast and was also very polite. Great drinks and service :)”

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

“Ok. Wow! This is the most competent, friendly staff I have seen in a restaurant ...or many businesses in quite awhile. I am not a pessimist, so this really says something.

Thoughtful, dedicated and hard working, especially the 2 women making the work happen.

If there is a negative, I would say that the man that I assume is the manager is a bit over the top. But I guess if he is attracting and keeping this level of talent he must be ok.”

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

“I walked in just before closing time and the employees couldn't have been any kinder. I got the Almond Joy Latte -BIG 20 oz !!! It was excellent!!!! Thanks for your kindness and for the delicious latte.”

“Ice cream, cones, cotton candy, bubbles. What more can you ask for?!”

“The pork belly tacos are very good and bring the heat. The capicola ham sandwich with lingonberry jam is also a good choice. Don't forget to order the French onion soup.”
