This place has the BEST fried chicken I have had anywhere. My previous favorite was an old hotel…read morebar in Koreatown, Los Angeles, but year after year, I visit Lakeview Resort and the fried chicken is always amazing. Very light breading, pressure-cooked, super juicy, perfect crunch. The rest of the fried food is bit too breaded for me, the salad bar gets smaller each year, but that's not why I visit. The people working here are very pleasant, very good service, but that chicken man, stuff of legends...

I was visiting beautiful Maple Lake to fish for a couple of days and enjoy early summer weather. On my next trip to Maple Lake I will make a point of trying the food at the Lakeview. The fishing on Maple Lake was excellent, walleyes and crappies were active.

We also brought a 12- pack of corona that was $16.99. They are the closest liquor store to our cottage any for many, so they can make there prices high. Most people (like us) don't want to drive the extra 15 miles into town. But it is a huge place and I guarantee they will have whet you are looking for. They also always give you a free bag of ice with every purchase.

Well, you don't have to go all the way into Walker if you are staying on the lake and out of town. This was a much quicker trip for us. It is convenient to many of the lake homes/cabins. This store will meet your needs, but don't expect to be blown away.

They have the only walk in beer cave and a decent selection of craft beers, including from the local brewery. I don't go to a store to make friends so I really don't care if the clerk wants to chit chat. I'm happy if they have a good selection and reasonable prices and I can get in and out quickly. If you live here or didn't stock up before you left the Cities, Walker Bay Spirits is a good option.

Now, if you have read my previous reviews, I am a bit of a snob. So, this is the place to go if you want to imbibe something a little classy (yes, they do have cheap stuff too). Their prices are average at best, but not to worry if it is the only place you can get your favorite bottle or beer. Honestly, check out both stores if you are in Walker. I mean, come on, it is not that big. You will have time! However, you will most likely be back here when your fanciness takes hold.

Minnesota is one of those fine states that doesn't sell alcohol or tobacco products at…read moresupermarkets, it seems.... at least the local grocery concern in Bemidji doesn't. Aside: Technically speaking, campers at State Parks in Minnesota are prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages... not that this seems to be enforced or enforceable, but the inconvenience of an extra stop for a bottle of wine and a twelver of Bud Light seems silly. Whatever. That all being the case, I ducked in to Bemidji Discount Liquor on the way back to our campsite. It was raining pretty hard, so while I had ice slowly melting in the Tahoe, I wasn't in a giant hurry to get back to camp, soggy as it was. Signage prohibiting entry of anyone under 21 didn't phase my 40 year old self, and somebody's underage kid opened the door for me. Stay classy, Bemidji. I found me 24 pack of Bud Light without much ado, but it took me a minute to realize, while hunting for a decent bottle of Pinot Noir for Mrs. Picante, that the wines were all organized alphabetically, not by varietal. I grabbed a decent one, and headed for the register. Good prices, nice folks. Incidentally, if you're looking for tobacco... That's a third stop on your way back to camp or home in Minnesota. Lucky for you, there's a smoke shop next door to the west and a gas station next door to the east.... Because selling food, drinks, and smokes under the same roof is so damned California after all.

They had quite a few customers, so we didn't get irritated. However, people sat at a table next to us, and we literally watched as a server followed them to the table to wait on them. We then noticed another server approach another table that arrived well after we did. One of my pieces went up to her and asked if we could get menus. She stated that she thought someone was already helping us. Ummmm, we had no menus or drinks in front of us. She came over with menus and took our drink orders. She stated she would bring kids menus. We waited almost 10 more min, and again, had to approach someone to get these menus. Finally, we got our orders in, we didn't time it but took forever to get our food. The kids were starving at this point, and when the food finally came out, they had messed up one of their meals. The food was okay, but nothing special. We had plenty of leftovers, but it wasn't worth taking it with us. Overall, it took 3 hrs just to eat dinner. None of us will be going back.

Then that's when they proceeded to turn off the lights. They watch our every move like we were going to steal something. Don't judge and be rude.
