“Fun and relaxed place for a meal. Food was great!”

“Good prices for ice cream and treats, but coffee drinks are a bit spendy. They could add a kids cone, but the server was kind enough to put part of the enormous double scoop in a cup.”

“We had a great experience eating here. The kids I was with said the cheeseburgers were the second best they had ever had (the first being ones made at home). The waitress was very friendly and the food was good!”

“Listen best Mexican food I've had in a long time not only is the service far exceed expectations but the steak fajitas and the street tacos were phenomenal.”

“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.”

“Excellent service, great selections, delicious food, and gorgeous wooded setting. My sunfish appetizers were fantastic!”

“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.”

“Good food, home town feel”

“#1. The waitress’s were by far the most friendly, welcoming, down to earth ladies I have met in a long time! (To my kindred AZ waitress, the ice isn’t that bad, if I can do it so can you!) #2. The food - coming from a pretty picky person when it comes to what ”good food is” ….mouthwateringly delicious! Every bite from the cornbread, to the brisket, burnt ends, mac n cheese, & potato salad. #3. The place is clean, with a gorgeous view of the pristine looking golf course. What else can I say, try it! You won’t regret it if you know what good food is. We will definitely be coming back.”

“Everything! Great place!”

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

“You MUST stop here!

My husband and I snuck away to Nisswa for an anniversary celebration. The weather was gross (sleet and slush) so we were looking for a nice coffee shop to hunker down to read for a while.
The Courtyard ended up being the perfect spot!

The songbird bagel was delicious (that mustard, WOW) and the iced Miel was to die for. We each ordered a second one for the road!

The service was top notch. The cashier was friendly, and the owner checked on us regularly, striking up a conversation about our weekend away. He even swung around again and gave us 2 cookies for the road - I can’t make this stuff up.

We will absolutely be back :)”

“The absolute immediate thought when I think Minnesota nice and truly helping everyone. Great food! To-go chilli!!! makes any trip better. Pine River Bakery is like my WI version without cheese curds...”

“Tasty brews… amazing staff… good music how could you go wrong?”

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

“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 am so thankful that you deliver food to my work! The summer berry salad is amazing! Thank you so much!!!”

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

“2nd Annual Ice Fishing Group visit. Very nice. we might have been dressed in ice fishing clothing but it's MN so it was cool!”

“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.”

“Always great food, friendly staff, fair prices. My "go to" place for breakfast!!”

“Hands down this is one of the best coffee houses I have been to! Great prices and customer service is outstanding, and most importantly they brew the best locally roasted Coffee.”

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

“The pizza was GREAT! the service was very good & accommodating! would definitely recommend!”
