100% wonderful service from the friendly staff at Cannibal Junction. The food was good and we…read moreenjoyed dinner out. Rustic up north ambiance.

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

Outstanding steaks , good service, fun location! Rather limited open times…read more Outside of Walker , Minnesota.

After checking in to our hotel here at the Northern Lights Casino decided to grab a bite to eat…read morebefore the mma fights. I asked the receptionist if she would recommend the restaurant or the buffet? She said "the restaurant has much better food but it is pricey." We decided on the restaurant, it didn't open until 5pm so we waited 5 mins and it open and we're seated. First off the whole multi grain bread they offer as pre meal was nothing short of great and very tasty. As I am cutting for my upcoming fight I ordered the ceaser salad add grilled chicken. (The grilled chicken added an additional 8$ to the price of my originally 6$ salad.) and the girlfriend ordered the chicken Alfredo. My ceaser salad was great. (Can't think of much to say about a review for a salad.) but the dressing was great and grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. The real buzz was the chicken Alfredo, hands down could have been one of the best Alfredo's I have eaten. The sauce was extremely creamy as well as tasty. The chicken was perfect and just the right amount of added mix veggies that you could tell were cooked fresh. The only reason my score is 4 stars is because the prices were a bit steep. I was pre warned as about that, I just feel at a casino where much $ is spent gambling they should make more reasonable pricing. But to rate the food hands down 5 stars.
