“great staff. and cook very clean“

“The Food was delicious and the drinks are even better.“

“Tiny little diner with INCREDIBLE food, small town atmosphere & kindness. Fast service. Better pies than Betty's Pies up in Two Harbors. We head out of town tomorrow but will swing by on our way for another slice or two to bring home!“

“The food was absolutely fantastic! And the service was impeccable! Our bartender (ie. Janel) was able to hold down the entire restaurant, including the bar! So happy for the food and service that we have now dedicated to becoming monthly customers.“

“First time dining with guests and was extremely pleased. Pamela our waitress was fantastic! The atmosphere, views and food was wonderful. Besides everyone enjoying their meals, prentation on our shrimp dinners, walleye and fettuccine could have been on a magazine cover. Nice to see everyone pitching in to help one another (impressive). We will be back, thank you for making special.“

“Absolutely phenomenal service. Food was delicious with awesome healthy options. Also great GF selections! Beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“Staff was excellent. Food was delicious. The only thing was the tap water tasted horrible every time I came.“

“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!“

“Spent weekend at Breezy Point and visited three of the restaurants. North Star. Antlers and Palmers at the Deacons golf course. North Star was very lively and fun. Palmers was quiet and lovely. Antlers on Saturday had our favorite bartender and drinks, a tall young man who has golfed every course in the world. I think his name was Damon. Great personality. Great seats by the water. Good food that took a while but didn't disappoint. Typically go to a different resort up here but Breezy won us over. Will be back.“

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

“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. 😋“

“Tiny little diner with INCREDIBLE food, small town atmosphere & kindness. Fast service. Better pies than Betty's Pies up in Two Harbors. We head out of town tomorrow but will swing by on our way for another slice or two to bring home!“

“Is this place handicap accessible. Our group has a couple non-ambulatory people“

“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 !“

“Absolutely one of our most favorite restaurants to go to. We travel little over an hour just to enjoy there always amazing hot food, great customer service and warming welcome as soon as you enter. No matter what we have ordered we have never been disappointed and there caramel and cinnamon rolls are always something we take home with us. I highly suggest the caramel or cinnamon roll as an absolute must!!“

“Had a bad experience ordering out. My cheese curds were burnt some were just shells, so were my sweet potato fries. I took pictures they were so bad I threw them away.“

“Amazing!!! Pizza was so good and never had wings like these before. An added plus was the service - happy and on top of everything.“

“got the grizzlies bloody Mary. for only $13 it was a 28 oz glass with their homemade bloody Mary mix 1/4 of a chicken. The thigh and leg rotisserie style, fabulous, celery cheese olives lemon and bacon. All for $13. then I had an appetizer of firecracker shrimp with blue cheese dressing. It was absolutely delicious!“
