★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 John Sobieski · Mar 2026

Walleye fingers were undercooked. Onion rings were rock hard. Would not recommend and will not order again.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lake Katrina · May 2025

Lovely location (about 2 minutes of hwy 10) and easy parking! Great bee3 chouces on tap for about $5 only. The menu is pretty basic diner/bar food. Decent burgers. My Cobb salad wasn't a true Cobb salad (there was no bacon or blue cheese). I'd go back again!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Lisa · Jan 2026

I have been here several times but the last two times the food has been horrible. The burgers have such a smoke flavor it’s over powering and gross. I ordered the boneless wings this last time and they were absolutely disgusting they were dry and burnt and applying extra sauce can’t cover it up. I brought some home for my husband who is not picky and he couldn’t even eat them. I order a Bloody Mary and the color is normally red from the V8 and it arrived to me brown.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nancy Wynn · Dec 2025

A rare gem hidden in the small town of Wadena. I'm 67, and I enjoyed the best hamburger of my life at the quaint restaurant. The service is phenomenal. Check it out if you are nearby, but it's definitely worth a longer drive, that's how great the food is!!!!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Sandy Robatcek · Dec 2025

It took over a half hour to get our food. We got there at 6:30. Only 1 other family eating. The waitress would go in back and disappear for 10 minutes when we would ask for something, then come out and forgot to bring what we asked for. The walleye fingers were WAY overcooked and tasted disgusting. They did not have any IPAs on tap. It was overall a pretty disappointing experience.
