“We had dinner at the Commander last night. We were a little hesitant because of a spate of not very good reviews but, wound up with a really good experience. Our server, Heather, was quite pleasant, and very attentive. The food and drinks were really good and served promptly. The prime rib was a healthy portion and very good. The $25 price was well worth it. Reviews can be very interesting. The only thing I can say is that if the spotty reviews were earned, and I have no basis for not believing other reviewers, then just maybe management learned from them. Our experience was very good and I wouldn't hesitate to go back“
“Thursday night at 4:40, we got takeout here. Pickup was fine, we had to wait at the bar for a few minutes, but then we were greeted and our order brought to us. The bar area was clean with both a bar and tables to sit at. We ordered the Garbage pizza and Cheesy garlic bread. Both were good. The pizza was probably a 3/5 and the cheesy bread was a 5/5 - the garlic was very noticeable and so good. We'd get pizza here again.“
“This is a hidden gem. I love everything about it, including -Quickness of service -Layout of the building. The booths felt really cool, and everything had a great aesthetic -The food. I had the philly, as well as chicken wild rice soup, and it was some of the best food I ever had! And being that I currently have a dad bod, I know a thing or two about food You gotta check this place out, I would put it above any restaurant in the Brainerd area.“
“We were so pleased with our meal here! The cheese curds are some of the best we’ve ever had, splurge and order these for an app! We also got the pork ribeye and cherry bomb burger and both were incredible. Anytime we’re in the area, this will be our first choice!“
“Stopped in for supper on the way home, and were pleasantly surprised after hearing some less-than-stellar word of mouth reviews. The atmosphere was nice, with lots of exposed natural-look wood and a homey feel to the bar (kind of a cabin-y look, which I personally enjoy.). The staff were friendly and attentive, and we got our food quickly. Someone at the next table tried the burger challenge, which looked pretty impressive all stacked up (they did not finish, unsurprisingly.)We got a couple of burgers - one mushroom & swiss and one bacon burger. Food was cooked perfectly and very tasty; definitely one of the better burgers I have had in this area. My partner had the cheese curds and they were cooked just right - definitely some of the best we've tried. Portion sizes were very fair for the price. We didn't have any drinks, but the tap selection looked very thorough.I understand Bites is under new management since our visit, and I hope they continue to be successful. We will definitely remember this place on our future travels.“
“Sunday morning bloody Mary's were a winner! We didn't eat, but a group of 12 women near us were pleased with their breakfasts. The patio out back is beautiful. Lots of cool potted plants that are for sale. There's also a fire pit with Adirondack chairs. I'll be back for breakfast!“
“Another amazing experience at the Grand View Pub! We chose the Parmesan Chicken and Bison Burger. Also had the Pimento Dip with Naan and veggies! All was excellent, fairly priced and great service. Atmosphere super woodsy and cozy. Open to the public also.“
“We can't speak more highly of luckys! The menu is huge, everything delicious and large portions! BEST bar chairs you will ever sit on in your life! The staff is always on top of your every need. There is a reason this place is always busy. Have been here 100+ times and never leave disappointed!“
