I'm truly sorry about the low rating, but I'm so pissed off after stopping at the winery today…read more Even though there was no event on the back patio, the owners had decided that the patio would be closed because it was "too hot and the air quality wasn't too good." We've been stopping at Dennis Drummond for years (in the summer only) and never had this problem in the past, although once we were told that they didn't want the staff going out to wait on us on the patio (no problem, since we grabbed our wine, glasses, and pretzels inside, paid for everything, and we didn't need anyone to wait on us). First, today's air quality was better than it has been earlier in the week (wildfires in Canada caused very smoky conditions for the previous two days). Second, we noticed two people sitting at a table outside in FRONT of the establishment--was the heat and air quality any better in front than in back? Third, in Minnesota, many of us LIVE for warm weather when we don't have to wear coats, boots, hats, etc. Fourth, this is a resort area, and we don't know of any other establishments with outdoor seating that won't allow patrons to sit outdoors, a fact we proved when we stopped at two other places after our disappointing stop at Dennis Drummond. Fifth, this place has NEVER been very busy when we've stopped there--can they really afford to turn away local business, or do they rely on people renting the place for events like weddings? For those of you familiar with the Brainerd Lakes area, can you imagine Ernie's, Zorbaz (both on Gull Lake), or Moonlight Bay (on Crosslake) refusing to allow guests to sit outdoors in the summer? That would NEVER happen. We had a gift certificate we were going to use, but now I don't know when we would ever use it. I'm still so mad I could spit.

He said she doesnt know what she is talking about and said they will not honor the ad. This place is also inconvenient to get to. I dont recommend it and wont be back.

I noticed a great special happens Sundays 11-2 all you can eat pizzas and half priced starters! (Not sure how long that will be in place) If you have not tried slice on oak I highly encourage giving them a try! Not ready to commit to a whole pizza don't worry you can buy just a slice!

Being right on the lake, the view is AMAZING. The food is a bit expensive, but definitely fits with the vibe. They have a really nice inside and outside for seating. We had a large group, and they dont take reservations... but only took around 30 mins to get sat. In that time we were able to enjoy the outdoor bar and live music.

He was content with his pizza and wings, which were reasonably priced and decent quality. I had a chicken salad, it was a deli style salad, nothing special but their house made ranch is really good! The arcade kept him happily occupied for 2 and a half hours, not bad for $40 of points. I noticed tons of groups with private dining rooms available for rent. It was packed on a Saturday afternoon. Be mindful of this if your planning a short visit- wait times can be longer at peak times. They do offer beer and wine, for you who are brave enough to indulge with dozens of children orbiting about.
