Found a gem of a breakfast spot today in the rural Minnesota whistle stop of Osakis (population…read more1,800). We rode our bicycles the 10 miles on the Rails-to-Trails bike path from Alexandria to Osakis and stumbled on AJ's Restaurant for breakfast before riding another 10 miles back to Alex. Jeannie, the owner of the restaurant, did a great job making us feel welcome while taking our orders and serving our meals. After sharing a warm caramel roll right out of the oven, we ordered three different 3-egg omelettes. They were all perfectly cooked and filled with delicious veggies and meats. AJ's surpassed our expectations with great food, great service and a down-home small-town hospitality. Gotta throw AJ's the fin.

Nice stop in Osakis for lunch. We hit the end of the lunch rush. It was busy, which means it must…read morebe good, but not too busy to allow for one server to service all tables. She did a great job. My attraction to the place was breakfast all day. I opted for Texas French toast. Three generous slices of French toast for $6. Had to get a side of bacon as well. Way too many calories but my kind of lunch. Husband had the wrap special with fries. He also liked his choice. I would have loved to try the chicken noodle soup but too full to add another item. Loved the bar stools which were boat seats. Very clever and also clever to advertise on the seat backs. Nice creativity. Good stop.

Poor customer service! We booked a wedding to be catered (and secured the date with a deposit)…read more We received the catering menu options by email - 2 attachments were email showing options and pricing. When we contacted both the catering manager and the owner, to discuss the details of the food we wanted, we were told one of the menus they provided was not an option. (The menu that we wanted to use). The owner was extremely unprofessional. She openly admitted she had made a mistake by sending the menu and "learned her lesson". When I then asked about using my deposit toward salads for the wedding, grooms supper or if I could use it for a future graduation party, I was rudely told NO. AND she would not reimburse my deposit, even tho she admitted that she was at fault. They handled this situation unprofessionally and in a rude manner. I would never trust Tutti Fruitti for a catering event.

We had a bit of mixed reaction with our food. All of our main dishes were great! We tried the…read morechicken burger, the shrimp burger, and a chicken pesto sandwich. Both burgers were very tasty and the accompanying fries were fresh and tasty. The chicken was a little on the dry side but the pesto was great. The tater tot side upgrade was a bad choice. They were overdone and pretty awful. We all opted for desert and the pies were soooo good. The lemon cloud was so refreshing and the strawberry peach was sweet and tart. The carrot cake was good but the frosting was too sweet and lacked flavor. The service was quick but the servers have a lot of tables so the waitress was not overly friendly or inviting. We felt like we were a task and not a guest. Would we go back? Yes but.....I would order differently and stick with the things that they are best at.

I love the idea the owner has about bringing fresh locally farmed ingredients to the menu. The menu is simple and it was perfect for lunch. We tried the tomato basil soup, smoked turkey sandwich and chicken salad sandwich. Everything tasted so good! Just a heads up, they aren't huge sandwiches but it was plenty for me.

So they…read moreserve sandwiches at lunch and dinner as a necessary way to provide interest in the restaurant. But - they have a very interesting french style dinner menu as well. Intriguing. We were traveling and our anniversary was while we were in Alexandria. We wanted something special, and a french dinner seemed cool. But wait. They had a "chef's table" as well. Not an everyday thing, and not inexpensive, but - a chef's table in Alexandria Minnesota? We were totally there. A five course meal, wines accompanying, and it was totally delightful. We often blog our travels, and we wrote pages about this meal. Kudos to Matthew and Amber!
