I love a good sandwich and I've had JJ's in Ohio that I'd say is better. Here's a summary of what…read morewe saw: 3 of us ate lunch at this JJ's and we all ordered the same sandwich. The Beach Club with a wrap instead of bread. It was turkey, provolone , avocado spread, tomato, cucumber & lettuce with mayo. The turkey and avocado were in it but I had to look carefully to spot them. I did see the provolone, cucumber and tomato easily. However, the great percentage of it was filled with shaved iceberg lettuce. We were not impressed, and probably won't be back.

What happened? Been here many times . Ordered a 4 ingredient 16 inch pizza and it reminded me of a…read moreparty pizza ( the ones that are $1.59 at the store). It had nothing on it . We ordered a 16 inch with wings and it did not fill two of us up. In comparison we would do a 14 inch with wings and another local place and have 1/2 to 1/3 left. Looking at it we saw more sauce than cheese and i could not see the sausage. On a positive the crust was crispy and the jalapeños were fresh cut, not out of a jar. But maybe 1/2 of what i would consider normal ingredients including sauce. Felt cheated , not like any of the photos Online!

We popped in and got a cheese pizza, a woodsman supreme pizza, and a bacon cheeseburger pizza followed by a generous piece of cinnamon cake. They do it ALL right! The crust, the toppings, the sauce, the cheese, it's all amazing and well proportioned! The star of the show for me was the bacon cheeseburger pizza. It's got it all! Pickles, mustard, two types of cheese, all without being overbearing and unbalanced. Everything made sense in the amount it was used. The stand out for my husband was the woodsman supreme. The slices were weighty and full of the toppings. The cinnamon cake at the end was light, moist, and delicate. A perfect follow up to the punch of flavor the pizza offered. The two gentlemen who were waiting on us were beyond "Minnesota nice". They were attentive, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and clearly love what they do at LMNO Pizza. 10/10 10/10‍

It was busy and they let us know the pizza and breadsticks we ordered would be about 25 minutes. It was spot on. We order the Sammy's Special to go and it was delicious. The crust was thin and crispy. I can only imagine how good it would be fresh at restaurant instead of to go. The breadsticks were thick and fresh. We did order Alfredo sauce and got pizza sauce instead but it was still very good. I will definitely come again when we're in town for lacrosse.

This place has always been a go for my family. Healthy portions and well made food. But lately…read morethings seem to be going backwards. I got a pizza last night for instance, and there was such a small amount of cheese on the pizza that I could see the red sauce just as much as the cheese (see picture). There were a bunch of younger kids working in the back, so maybe they just aren't taking their time or measuring as much as normal... but regardless, when I pay over $27.00 for a 14" pizza? I expect it to be darned good! I mean, that cost me almost 2 hours of working to afford that pizza. And that's what I get? I'm going to start going to the blueberry bowl in deer river from now on. They are extremely generous with their toppings and they don't cost as much. It's worth the drive when you're paying so much for Sammy to hold back on you!

For us, it was busy but the service was fast and very friendly. The beer selection focuses on microbrewery's, which I prefer. I selected a German blonde beer from Bemidji.

My SO had the walleye filet and shrimp bisque. She said the bisque was the star of the show. The view over the lake makes this a special place.
