Restaurants near Willow River

“We just ate here Sunday, November 5th, 2023. We stopped in on our way back from Split Rock to the Twin Cities. Every year we have a dilemma of where to eat and just happened to take the Willow River exit. We found this little gem of a restaurant in the back of the gas station out front. We had the patty melt with coffee. Our waitress was attentive and kind. The price was incredible! It was under $14 for 2 patty melts and 2 coffees. We will definitely stop here next year!”

“Excellent service, great tasting food!”

“I recommend stopping in for one of Morgan Ann’s margaritas!! Nummy We also had Mike let us taste an excellent lobster dip!!! Heaven!!!”

“Just out for a road trip and we stumbled upon this gem. What a delicious little surprise! The 4 of us ordered apps...chicken strips, pretzel bites, fried Brussels Sprouts and the bruschetta. OMG!!! Can't wait to go back. The Brussels Sprouts were my favorite. Best I've ever had. The staff was awesome and the food was Awesomer! 😉 Fantastic experience. We will definitely be back and bring our friends with us.”

“We stopped in at El Alce after hiking and kayaking in Moose Lake State Park. I ordered the #14: chimichanga, chalupa and taco, and my wife ordered the #19: burrito, enchilada and chalupa. The service was super fast, and the food was terrific. I strongly suggest you give El Alce a try!”

“Great atmosphere with great people on the lake!”

“I have been eating here with my family for as long as I can remember. I absolutely love the salad bar, and I tried one of their subs for the first time the other day: it was absolutely delicious! Of course their pizza is amazing as well. I love Poor Gary’s!”

“Excellent coffee! Super friendly staff! Beautiful gift options!”

“My husband and I ate out at SL Pizza Pub last night. I love the pizza and the hubby, the wings. It was slow at first and then bam! people everywhere. What we were both so impressed by is the service - it was FAST and outstanding. My husband just had to think about finishing his beer and it the staff was there to get another. The food was terrific (as always) and the staff efficient and friendly on a very busy Friday night...on top of this, they were short staffed and did not miss a beat. Well done and highly recommend.”

“Great good. Friendly and relaxing cafe.”

“Was there earlier today, LOVED it!!!! Great look, food and service!!! And they answered every question I had about the unique design of the place.”

“Husband had this pizza years ago at a rural location. He completely forgot about it until seeing sign at a different location in another very rural area. I personally have never had it and I'm extremely picky when it comes to pizza. It's one of my favorite foods. Well he suggested I try it because he remembers loving it over a decade ago. So I agreed and got a simple pepperoni pizza and then drove 15 mins home. Only cost $11.99 plus tax for a 12" Pizza which is cheapest pizza I've ever purchased. I had to rewarm it which made me hesitant on the quality. I was totally wrong. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER EATEN. First purchase for me was yesterday and today I went out and bought 2 more. Great dough, sauce, cheese the works. I will forever be a Hunt Brothers Pizza only..”

“food was great. service was excellent. there is a service charge which makes it confusing for tips.”

“best burgers around! super nice people. Very small town”

“Stopped in there for a job that I had to do it's just a bar they can pop a pizza into a pizza oven for you but that's all the food they have maybe a bag of chips people were very pleasant just a nice small town bar”

“The most delicious/beautiful bloody!”

“Haven't had any issues with this particular subway. The only negative thing I would say is sometimes it can be a little bit of a wait when it's super busy. Food and atmosphere are as to be expected.”

“Had a great experience. Our server Kayla was very attentive and sweet. The food was delicious and the salad bar is always a good addition. Will definitely be back!”

“I would just like to say my family and I frequent this place a lot and every time we come in and Michele is working. It’s so great. She’s always so happy and inviting excellent customer service. Always makes it a better day when we get to come in and see her Dairy Queen is very lucky to have her as an employee”

“This was the best McDonalds I’ve ever been to, they actually checked in on the quest. It was also clean aswell. Big shout out to Kevin and one of the other workers who had a lot of pins on her hat. We’re from lakeville and that McDonalds is so bad compared to this location. Once again, BIG SHOUT OUT TO KEVIN🙏🏻🔥”
