Food was OK, but they directed us to the Stuffed Hash Brown and I have to be honest, it just was not very good. Just everything kind of thrown inside a big hash brown. The prices were reasonable, but only accepting cash in 2024 is also a bit crazy... at least in my opinion.

Ate at the counter due to how busy it was on a late Friday morning, where we were able to admire the stuffed hash browns the countermate couple shared. They were locals and said this was the place to be for breakfast. We wanted to try one of their fresh rolls, but arrived too late, they were all gone (they were only $1.50). The pancake & French toast were filling & hit the spot. Would go back again & share the stuffed hash browns for the experience.

The food was amazing, super affordable and the people were so friendly. It is 3 hrs from home but I think I might have to make it back sooner than later. Can stop thinking about that place. Had the patty melt with fry's and the wife had the omelette. Sat at the front counter with all the photos of the past.

Table for 7 is a farm to table restaurant and all the ingredients were fresh. Started off with the Beet and Blueberry salad, must try.

We also tried the Caprese and the tomatoes were fresh and for dessert we had a variety of homemade ice creams made with local berries: Strawberry & Blueberry was the cherry on top for this amazing restaurant.

Food (4/5) | Ambiance (5/5) | Service (4/5)…read more We came here with a large group of about 40 and staggered arrivals so we wouldn't overwhelm the staff. Food was solid--my Tossed & Seared steak salad was tasty, and the Smokeshow burger is a must if you like bleu cheese and balsamic. The vibe was great for a modern bar, and the outdoor patio was super cute. Service was fine overall, though my friend's "large" walleye dinner came out as a small plate of walleye fingers, which seemed like a mix-up. All in all, good food + fun atmosphere = worth a visit.

Excellent burgers & pizza - 4 stars!…read more FYI, it's called "Riley's Cannibal Junction", NOT "Riley's Fine Food & Drink". Don't judge a book by its cover. That's the first thing I have to say about this hole-in-the-wall bar & restaurant. When you find them, it feels like the middle of nowhere because there are no houses, cabins, or other businesses in sight. This is a totally casual, no-frills place with a hunting and fishing cabin type of vibe. Come as you are. Are you still wearing your hunting camo or your snowmobile suit? No problem. The burgers, pizzas, and soups are very good. The all-beef patties are the real deal. No soybean additives here. The owner makes an extra effort to get a higher grade ground beef. You can definitely taste the difference. The staff is very friendly and unpretentious. And the prices are remarkably reasonable (see photo). If you're interested in the history, they have a summary on the back of the menu and on the Facebook page. It all goes back to the 1950s and an eccentric husband & wife named Chester & Violet Guiles. The local kids started calling Chester "Cannibal Guiles". Once a week they'd go to Deer River to buy groceries in a horse drawn buckboard. One final note: I read a silly previous review accusing this place of being "disgustingly racist". I saw no evidence of racism whatsoever. In fact, there was a Native American gentleman cooking on the day I visited. I complimented him on the burgers and we had a nice chat. He's a nice dude. I don't know what kind of personal beef was going on at some point in the past, but this review is pretty bad...the worst type of ignorant, woke, race baiting & trolling with no evidence at all. Don't like 'em? Don't go there. This stupid review should really be removed or sidelined by Yelp. Anyway, enough time wasted on that topic... Stop by if you're in the area. Grab a brew and some grub. Thumbs up! -Maxx
