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

“Great food, views, drinks... live music on Friday and Saturday. An intimate woodsy venue. Top notch staff. And I think you can play golf here if you’re into that sort of thing.“

“I don’t typically write reviews, but I went to this restaurant 1.5 months ago and had their chicken salad sandwich and a bloody mary. I became a part of the clean plate club that day. This is the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my entire life. The buns, the perfect temperature of the chicken salad, love and kisses in every bite. The fries were also amazing as well as the Bloody Mary. I live like 3 hours away but have thought of driving that far just for this sandwich. I think about it so much I had to come and write a review because it crosses my mind more than it should. The waitress was also super nice! One day I will be reunited with this sandwich again!“

“The best stop for food in the area! We all love getting lunch from shiners!“

“We’d had a day full of errands in and around the Brainerd area. By late afternoon we still had our Costco trip ahead of us, but we were both feeling spent and weary from the day. We decided to look for a new happy hour location in Brainerd and found B Merri. The online reviews looked promising, and there were some vegetarian items on the menu so we blew off the Costco trip, crossed our fingers and headed north out of town.
The vibe was exactly what we were looking for, and the staff was friendly. Our waitress, Hannah, was devoted to making sure we were enjoying ourselves. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she offered us samples of IPAs she thought we might like (We did!) Our favorite was an IPA called “Old geezer” or something like that. Bright and refreshing. Hannah recommended the bruschetta platter. It was gorgeous and delicious. Quality shaved parm, fresh cherry tomatoes, halved and drizzled with balsamic, little baby smoked mozzarella balls, caramelized onions, fresh pesto with slices of bread that were soft and perfectly toasted with a light crunch. The chef made a specialty sandwich for us out of portabellas and Hannah recommended the sweet potato fries for the side. I cannot remember ever having better. Crispy and flavorful with a yummy sauce for dipping.

We highly recommend B Merri and look forward to returning! Thanks to Hannah and Chef for turning our afternoon around!“

“Always good food & service. We live down the road & it’s our go to place! Always has our drinks ready when they see us!“

“I absolutely love eating here! The vibe is always relaxing. I have never had a beverage or plate that I did not love.“

“Wasn't very hungry so we just ordered nachos for the 2 of us. It was a huge portion, more than we could eat. Service was okay. It was bad timing because shift change occurred while we were there. Service was great to start but when our server left then we were ignored by the next shift, had to flag one down when we wanted something so we drank up and left. When I looked back from the door I noticed that the couple moving in to take our seats had a server right there to greet them before they were even seated. Oh well, it's not the only bar in the area.“

“My husband said his burger was amazing!!! You could tell it was amazing just looking at it!! Potato chips taste homemade. Good spices. ;) Strawberry lemonade was so refreshing!
Ernies is on a beautiful lake with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good!!! Server was sweet.
The only reason I gave a 4 star and not a 5, is the kitchen closed at 8pm, but the website said 9pm. We got there a few minutes before 8, so we had to rush ordering. I honestly didn't have a chance to even review the menu so i just ordered lemonade. :( Management needs to update these things!!!“

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

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

“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!“

“Cole at the bar was awesome! Always on his toes. Appetizers were yummy! We will be back“

“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.“
