Best burgers in town!! We come here every summer when we're in Minnesota and it never disappoints…read more This year since it was raining, we did a phone order and picked it up for dinner & everything was perfect. The service is always friendly and our orders were ridiculously delicious. The Swiss Mushroom Burger is my forever favorite and I'm obsessed with their onion rings. Everything is simple but done so right. I also really appreciate how thoughtful their packaging is - each burger comes in its own box with sides of ketchup, mustard, pickles, and napkins. It's such a small touch, but it really makes you feel taken care of. And the ambience? Adorable. It's like stepping back in time. A totally vintage feel and full of charm. We usually sit outside on their benches with lakefront views and string lights overhead. Just a heads up, payment is cash or check only. Can't recommend this spot enough. Already counting down the days until my next Maple Beach Burger fix. Until next time!!

Maple beach has great burgers and it always seems busy. The food comes out in a timely fashion. The seating is primarily outdoors ( maybe only outdoor since the pandemic). Rustic with some picnic tables. The owner / chief cook is rude, always. The best you get is ambivalent. The folks that help him are always courteous - I would rate this a 5 if the cook would smile once.

If you like simple food done well - this is an awesome place. Such a cool and unique venue in an…read moreold church. They really buy into it and have church themed menus/drinks/ and decor. Love it! Our table did a mashup of everything - wings, burgers, pizza, and even a grilled cheese. Again - all simple, but all tasty. I'd call this place Perham's top wing/pizza place in town. I split the grilled cheese and then had the buffalo wings. The buffalo sauce was on point from a flavor a heat perspective. And the homemade ranch - heck yeah! Perfect combo! Well done 1894 - we will be back! (PS - we recommend getting some cool signage outside for us out-of-towners)

First time here but it won't be the last. My son and I came here. I ordered a slider with cheese…read morewhich was definitely enough to eat. My son ordered the Belltower Burger which was bacon, mushroom, cheese and sauce which was like a strogenoff sauce. I mopped some of my slider in it. We also shared the cheese curds as a side for $5. We were charged $1.50 for ranch, even though it was free with order of curds as an app. Also ordered Busch Non Alcohol beer for $5.00. It was really nice inside as this was an older church in its past life. The Burgers are 1/2 # and I enjoyed a bite of my son's burger. The burgers are fresh and not frozen and worth ordering. I did suggest hot honey with the cheese curds and turn the peanut butter grilled cheese and bacon sandwich into a burger. I'd return again.

We sat outside, as there was a nice view of the lake. Put your elbows on a menu, or you'll burn your arms on the metal table. Ordered maple syrup burger and subbed salad for fries. There wasn't much maple syrup and a tiny bit of bacon. I removed the lower bun also. Beef Burgers are fresh and are 1/3#. Bison and Elk are smaller at 1/4 # and frozen. Service was a little spotty. No check-in after we ate or refills of water. Needed to go inside to pay. They do charge 3% to use a credit card, which is not disclosed anywhere. I paid in cash anyway. There is much better food and value compared to Sandbar. Better views, too.

We ordered different burgers and wings, and they were excellent. The burgers were cooked to order, wings were good, and the fries were excellent. Shout out to Abby, our server, who was professional, attentive, and kind. The place has a great "Up North" vibe with an awesome view of the lake. Prices were fair, and bathrooms were clean and updated. BONUS: several gluten-free options including pizza and buns.

I have never had a bad meal here. As a pescatarian/vegetarian, I appreciate the many healthy yet tasty options. The drink menu is well curated. During a recent summer visit, I enjoyed a berry spicy Margarita. I tend to avoid fruit margaritas because they are often too sweet, but this one balanced the fruit and spice well. I would definitely order again. Even though I was the only patron on the patio, the staff was very attentive - refilling water as needed and checking in an appropriate amount. I would recommend this place anytime you're traveling near or through Perham. In fact if only it were in my neighborhood, I'd visit much more often.

It gives off the vibe of a sports bar but also a place to sit and have a casual meal. The fried pickles came out hot and crispy and they were wonderful! Even after sitting and munching on them after 5 minutes the ones that were still in the basket were still warm. The PB+J burger was amazing! It has a nice little kick with every bite you took. It had the perfect amount of spicy that wasn't too overwhelming. The BBQ wings were also very good! Cooked to perfection and had the perfect amount of sauce on them. The cheese balls were really good but had too much cheese in each bite you took. The cheese balls were also much larger than what we were thinking they were going to be. Roughly the size of a golf ball. The service was splendid. There was one waiter and bartender working while we ate but you wouldn't have guessed that by how fast our drinks and food came out. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us, while waiting on every other table in the building. If you are passing through town this is definitely a place to try out!

We originally split a bacon cheeseburger but quickly realized it's not a mega burger size like you get in fast food, more old school, so we ordered another. They had very thick cut bacon on them. Also ordered the corn dog kids meal and cheese curds and fried pickles (spears not slices FYI). Pretty good stop when you are craving simple & fast food.

I saw several going out the door that looked really disappointing. In all, Fergus Falls is a cute little town and I guess they have limited options but this would be a hard pass for me.
