a man standing in front of a diner
Deborah N.

Rating should be 2 stars, but giving 3 stars only because of our server, Brenda. We stopped here for breakfast on our way to International Falls, MN. It was right after their breakfast rush and tables still needed cleared. Short staffing is an issue across the nation and it is the same story here. The manager and cooks were loud and grumpy. Thankfully, we had a friendly, hard working waitress, named Brenda. She smiled even though the other staff working , were grumbling and complaining about customers, each other and food order mixups. These are challenging times for restaurants. We waited a bit for our food, but it came and was fine. It's typical Denny's food. The classic diner style is nice, but this one could use some TLC and repairs. Restroom fixtures were broken and sitting on the floor. I do feel staff were overwhelmed and stressed.

"Extra crispy" Hash Browns with onions. Onions are 75% raw.

Because I am gluten free, I was given fruit and hash browns instead of the pancakes.

He places the order and gets held up waiting 30 minutes in the drive thru because we had asked for a gallon of sweet tea. 20 minutes of this was waiting for them to figure out how to fill that order since they had run out of lids for their jugs after they already gave him the food. Eventually they send out 4 large cups full of tea. He gets all the way home to find out it's UNsweet tea! They kept him waiting all that time for THE WRONG THING when they could have just said they were out, and not charged him. Oh but wait, there's more.. I'm the one who wanted this in the first place, guess whose food wasn't even in the bag... yep! My brisket, literally the main reason for going was missing. In all fairness, he had time to check the bag while he was sitting there, but frankly, he really shouldn't have to and he didn't want to pull it all out then have to move when the tea came out. I called the restaurant and "the manager" (highly doubtful since she had to ask someone else about everything I said) said the best they could do was remake my food for him to drive alllll the way back to get. I asked for a refund of the missing food and the tea that was wrong instead of wasting the time and fuel. She said she figured out how to do that. Just did my budget today, and she didn't even do that either! I've had some really great Dickey's experiences, but this place is just not one of them. We've tried it three times and each time is worse than the last.

She told us The Northern and to make sure to order the cheese curds. Looking at the menu before hitting the road again, sis and I knew the place was for us: burgers, sandwiches and wraps. Pulling into the parking lot was easy. Even though looked full, we were still able to find a spot. I want to note the gorgeous view of the red barn/farm across from the pond when pulling in. I noticed a patio on the North side of the building, which would put this farm in your view. We did have about a 20 minute wait for a table for 2. The restaurant looked busy from what I could see. Once we were brought to out table, I then noticed that the bar seating was pretty much open. Had I known, we might have elected to just sit at the bar. However, I asked for menus right away so that we could at least ponder it during that 20 minutes. We were sat at a high top right near the kitchen door. Being able to see all the food come out, I changed my mind on what I was going to order almost 10 times. We asked for the cheese curds as soon as we were greeted by our waitress. OMGosh! They were in the shape of cubes, deep fried to golden perfection. The outside had perfect firmness from the fryer. The inside was gooey, salty white cheese. Perfect just by itself. It did come with a ranch dipping sauce that was just so yummy. It reminded me a seasoned sour cream. The waitress didn't know the brand of the cheese curds (ie. Ellsworth) but did say the ranch was homemade Sis ordered the Great Northern Burger with French fries. She's a fan of BBQ sauce, bacon and onion rings on a burger. Fries were nicely seasoned, long, soft and semi-skin-on (not crinkle or steak fries). Burger was huge and worth the $15.99 price tag. I settled on the BOTM, the Nacho Burger, with tator tots. Toppings included nacho cheese, Fritos chips, bacon, diced/sliced jalapenos. The tator tots were one of the best I've ever had. Again, seasoned nicely. And the perfect ratio of hard outside crunch to soft inside potato. The Nacho burger was huge too....and messy with the nacho cheese. The Fritos did get a little soggy at the end. The bacon was under the melted cheese. And there were plenty of jalapenos hidden under the meat patty. Those were easy to discard so I could control how many fiery peppers were in my mouth at one time. Was service slower than normal? Yes. Was the service friendly? Yes. Was it worth the wait? Also YES! I would definitely recommend (I already have to my coworkers.) for anyone who loves gourmet burgers. They also have a nice variety to the sandwich, wraps, tacos and flatbread menu. I will just have to take the 40 minute drive again to try something else.
