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!”

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.”

“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.”

“Denham Run Bar and Grill quickly became one of our favorite spots! The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. The food was excellent across the board, but their specials truly went above and beyond—they’re creative, delicious, and make each visit feel unique. If you’re looking for great food at a great value, Denham Run Bar and Grill is a must-try. We’ll definitely be back!”

“I have dined here for 40 years and the food and service does not dissapoint!! I usually dine every Tuesday but decided to come with family to the Easter Buffet. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate Buffet's, but not this one! FRESH small soup and salad bar, excellent items on the hot buffet all HOT and not overcooked and of great quality. Excellent service. I love local places like this. Owners are a gem to talk with. Please consider ROUTE 61 for your next visit to Moose Lake”

“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🙏🏻🔥”

“My past review noted long wait times for food and being stuck in the drive through for 10-20 minutes at times. Things are a lot better now so updating my review to reflect that. Also I'd like to note the staff are very polite.”
