“I've not once had a bad experience for how many times I've ordered dinner. I love the side options you can pick up for cheese bread, desserts, and even salads. Their pizza toppings are always fresh and delicious. And you have to try their take n bake s'mores bars. I look forward to it ever visit.“

“Great pizza, inviting little shop you could sit down at or eat out. Guys were friendly with me and had my order to go ready pretty quick. Eating in would get cramped fast in if it was busy but I'll order again from them next time I'm in Pequot Lakes!“

“We got in later on a Friday night. After unpacking our bags, we decided to find a place to eat and this was just down the street from where our room was. I think we walked in the door around 8:00 p.m. as a matter of fact. Had two young guys working that night and it was pretty quiet as far as people inside the restaurant were concerned. I think they were busy doing to-go orders though. Very nice staff and they were quick to get our order made and out to us. Always enjoy service with a smile which seems to be a rarity these days. Pizza was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. I loved how you could get exactly what you wanted on the pizza and so I ordered some artichoke hearts. So much food we couldn't finish our pizza, so we took some home with us that night. Would definitely eat here again when I'm around there.“

“Always friendly staff, efficient and polite. The food is excellent. Building my own pizza is fun and very quick from order to eating. Highly recommend for a great place to eat. I take my wife there for mini dates. It's warmer mood for a date when it's dark outside.“

“Best dining experience we have had in a long time!! No masks need all the staff were very friendly, and as always good was Amazing!!! Will be coming to eat here more!!“

“Beautiful quaint restaurant with a nice selection of family style meals. Portion sizes can feed 3-6 people. We have the kiddos and 2 of their flatbreads easily fed them all. Loved the atmosphere - it feels like a little escape into some small European city. Bonus they had gluten-free options which is always a hit for me. The family enjoyed our visit as we were just driving through...we weren't staying at the lodge.“

“Our family comes to Brainerd once a year and we cannot wait to go eat at Rafferty’s! It is our absolute favorite pizza in the world. Everything is good including the service.“

“Had lunch during the week. Was nice and quiet, food was made fresh. Hamburger was great, BLT could have used a bit more bacon, everything came out nice and hot. My blue moon tasted a little flat but everyone else's were fine. Would visit again.

Parking: Lots of parking“

“Absolutely best restaurant I’ve been to in Minnesota. I wish they had the classic grill in the cities, but it’s always a special treat coming to our lake home and getting the experience of eating here. The food is phenomenal, the staff is amazing and the atmosphere is unmatched. Every time I visit, I can count on trying one of the new menu items and being in awe of the flavors and presentation. The favorite orders of our group were the Indonesian chicken satay appetizer, the chef’s risotto, and the truffle citrus scallops. My attached picture won’t do it justice, but the presentation of the meals is so unique. If they had Michelin star restaurants in Minnesota, this would for sure be the running. Maddens resort is truly the best location in the brainerd area.“

“When we walked in the door we were immediately greeted and asked if we wanted a booth or table. Then were then brought to a booth. Waitress brought waters out right away. Since it was our first time being there, we asked for recommendations. Waitress was very willing to discuss menu specials and her favorites. We ordered our food and drinks. A salad was brought out within minutes as were the drinks. Shortly after finishing salads our food was brought out. Waitress asked if there was anything further needed at that time. We indicated not at the moment. Waitress was very attentive. Food was delicious. Place was clean and felt comfortable. We will be back! Thank you.“
