Came here after a long hike at Wild River State Park. I enjoyed chicken strips, and my pup had a small burger. We were both satisfied

Service was extremely slow. It was a Monday and there were more people working than customers.

Me and my wife stopped in here for dinner and had Holly for a server. She was very nice and the food was pretty decent. I might stop there again if I'm in the area.

Note have visited more times than I can count; from time to time there has been issue or two; however today was horrible. No frosted mug used, food was cold, service slow, bathrooms dirty. Note had to move stacked seating chairs out of way for my handicap mother to use restroom? Needless to say our experience was not up to par, took my mom there from Texas while visiting, she said would never go back, I will need to think about it before I give it another chance!

Fun, old fashioned drive-in! My burger and root beer were delicious and the service was great. Looked like a really fun place to take kids and play mini golf after so I will be back with the little ones someday soon!

I love the 50s drive in and outdoor seating theme, especially the waitress's poodle skirts. However, the food was very overpriced and not very good. First off, both of the adult burgers were missing toppings that were listed on the menu. The hamburger and bison burger were both very dry and bland, not to mention cold. Mine, sadly, tasted like a school cafeteria burger. My son's burger was cold and a little stale l, stop a very cold, dry bun.
We saw reviews saying the cheese curds were the best. Well, despite the high price, we felt we we had to try them. Well, they weren't any better than any others. Not worth the money.
The wait time was 25 minutes which was a lot for some cheeseburgers, but I guess that's our fault for going at lunch time on Labor Day. The staff were busy and acted as such. They weren't rude by any means but not super friendly.
When we arrived, we were told by the hostess that we could order at the counter for takeout. Right after I did so, a waitress announced once that they were no longer taking food orders at the counter.
There were no signs put out or continued reminders. So for the next 20 minutes I watched many people stand and wait for service, only to be told no. I thought that was a poor way for the staff to handle the situation.
All in all, I would not recommend this restaurant. It was definitely not worth the hype or price.
Parking: There were very few parking lot spaces but some street parking along the mile stretch.

Seems like a fun place to take kids. We stopped there on a Saturday afternoon while out for a motorcycle ride. We had Malts and fried green beans. I'm sure the service is capable of a 5 star rating, but they were a bit overwhelmed by the number of customers. ( Beautiful weather and the holiday weekend )We will go back with the grandkids for lunch sometime.

A mist stop on Taylors Falls! Make sure to wash everything down with the root beer. You'll be glad you did!

We come here to eat two or three times a year and it's always great. This time we also mini golfed which the entire family loved! The course was not stroller friendly. Leave the stroller in the car if you are mini golfing with the kiddos here in my opinion, other than that it's super family friendly, we've also had our dogs on leash with us while we ate on the patio.
Parking: Lots of parking, option to order and eat in your car if you park in one of the designated spots.
Kid-friendliness: My kid loved her cheeseburger, fries, and cookie with root beer. Plus eating at a picnic bench outside in the nice weather was awesome.
