9 Best Burger Restaurants near Lake Shore

“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!“

“This was my first visit to a Five Guys. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a regular sized Cajun fries.

The burger was great and I was surprised by the amount of fries for only being the regular size. They also had the free peanuts out available to snack on.

I've avoided Five Guys in the past as I know they are priced higher than many other fast casual restaurants and I've heard they can be quite busy however this location was not busy when I stopped by around 2pm on a Sunday.

The price is still a factor for me but given the amount of food and quality, I believe it still deserves 5 stars.

Do not be surprised to find out the burgers $10+ each and a regular Cajun fries is a bit over $6, if you can deal with the price, it is good food.“

“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!“

“Why is it when we order a single Butterburger, they decide to sell us a double Butterburger and charge us for that? How convenient that they don’t give you a receipt and don’t know it until you open the wrapper. Done in or drive thru is the same. All The Time!“

“A group of friends and I were at the Commander on Friday and Saturday night...we were so impressed with our waitress both nights. She was working with a broken arm and was always there when we needed a drink or something from the menu. She had a great attitude and was super fun. I believe her name was Alyssa.“

“Good food, home town feel“

“Stopped in last week with the family after my daughters school program. We all had a great time together. The food was awesome, especially the triple chocolate meltdown with ice cream I ordered and enjoyed with the kiddos before our main course. 😋“

“Note: This is a seasonal Dairy Queen only opened during the Summers and not the Winters. Because of this, burgers are not sold here.Wow! Such great service. Weather is a little warm today so I got the Oreo&Brownie ice cream confectioner cup.Lisa gave such awesome service!“

“Easy breezy! Quick & hot
“fast food.” I personally love to order in the mobile app, because then you get access to exclusive deals & it tracks my account so I get free food every so often. Otherwise, you can still order the old fashioned way- in person, with an actual human; or utilize any of the “self ordering screens” (inside) if you decide to sit down and eat. Plus you can still order using your mobile app account if you scan the QR code before ordering on those kiosks. FYI-They usually have good deals on breakfast.“
