    We were looking through a visitor's guide to the Brained Lakes area and noticed that this place had a ton of rewards so we decided to give this place a try. Walking in, I definitely noticed that this is much more of a local bar than grill. The seating area was pretty basic and not much to write about. Our table was slanted, either because of the floor or faulty floors and the walls could use a good repaint and refurnish. I decided to try one of their burgers because they were rated as best in the area. It was OK but nothing amazing. The patty was a little thin and hardpressed for my liking, not very easy to get a medium rare burger. The bacon was thick cut and toppings were tasty and generous. My family tried a couple pasta dishes and they were rich, creamy, and carb satisfying. My father enjoyed his prime rib dinner. The thing that really surprised me was my son's fish and chips. The cod was very good, an up north traditional nice thin black pepper seasoned beer batter. The piece of fish was very meaty and flaky. We also noticed a couple other dishes that looked appetizing. The walleye looked great and the jumbo pretzel was huge! Is it the best place in Brained to grab dinner or a burger like the tour magazine quoted? I would disagree but I cannot deny they have a great following, the place was lively and busy. I would definitely come back for their Fish Fridays or walleye since that was what I thought was the best.

    The Dunmire's chips that were advertised to be covered in 5 cheeses, sour cream, and salsa.

    We had food delivered as we were driving through and there were several things that lead to this just being disappointing. The food was delivered to a hotel and we weren't given any utensils. The hotel we are in serves no food so my wife basically had to use fingers for a grilled chicken dinner, potatoes, and a side salad. I ordered an appetizer of Dunmire's Chips. It's $12.99 and says that it's their chips smothered in a house made sauce that uses 5 cheeses, smothered in salsa and Jalapeños. What I received was a box of potato chips with some strange, red sauce that I originally thought was ketchup. After trying it, I still don't know what it was. I also got a Cuban sandwich that consisted of dry pork, pickle slices to the side, and some cheese. It wasn't the worst Cuban I've ever had, but for $13.99, it'd really be nice if it was at least good.

    Fine. Post my landscape photo portrait. I managed to remember to take a picture of their tater tot hotdish before I finished it.

    This great place earns another 5 star review! Great food! Great service! Ella took great care of my friend and I! Even though she was busy, she still kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. We both had their version of tater tot hotdish. What a great version of this classic! Crispy tater tots on top with melted cheese. And then it gets even better after you pass the top layer! This place has a great menu that looks nothing else like anything in the Brainerd area. Still many more things on the menu I want to try! Thanks again Ella! Support small businesses! They need as much as we do!

    Mac & Cheese special with 1/2 rack ribs. Chicken Carbonara with sweet potato fries.

    We always try to do lunch at a place we've never tried. This past Sunday we were pleased with our choice of Dunmires just outside of Brainerd. Clean and pleasant atmosphere. Great choices of domestic, craft beers, and hard apple cider. Lots of choices on tap. Our server was cheerful and attentive. She suggested the nachos which were amazing. Our meals were all very tasty. The prices are a little on the higher side. We would recommend checking it out.

    The Pickled Loon Saloon of Emily - Crab cake sandwich

    Everything about our meal was perfect!…read more Background: we've been to almost every restaurant within 30 miles of Crosslake, most many times. We somehow missed this place. We would rank this meal as one of our best in the area. I had the crab cake sandwich, upgraded to include the dinner salad. The sandwich is one of the best things I've ever eaten. And, am pretty sure the amazing blu cheese dressing was house made. I tasted my husband's food, and can confirm... his cheeseburger upgraded to have the Cesar salad and the shrimp bisque was FANTASTIC!!! Will definitely be back!

    So many things to tell you(long post), I was searching the area near our summer rental for a good…read morespot for my birthday dinner. As I read the menu for this restaurant, I was getting that excited feeling that I stumbled upon a place where they really know good food. The Italian nachos looked promising as well as the reuben egg rolls. Sandwiches, wraps, burgers, oooh! What's this is see? Omaha Hereford ribeye? IMHO black angus is highly overrated. I love a good heffer! So we seat ourselves, the place is popping busy, they're having an all you can eat crab leg special this Friday night. We start ordering off the menu. Beverages to start, nothing fancy, just a good local craft beer and a summer mocktail. Appetizers, my birthday, I get to choose. I decided on the reuben egg rolls. For the main course, my bride orders the sirloin and I order the ribeye, we both get salad. The egg rolls arrive first, looking very homemade. OMFG, they are soooo good. Watch out for the juicy squirt (fresh sauerkraut). Ok, house salad - you'd think nothing special needs to be said about a house salad, we'll let me tell you, house made croutons, house made dressings. It's these small little touches that make a big difference. The steaks were fantastic, the sides perfectly done. The service- on point. The only drawback was the little black flies bugging my legs throughout our visit. But hey, it's northern Minnesota, it comes with the territory and can be easily fixed with a couple of Vector or Lavex bug catchers. Overall, I shall finish pontificating. My suffencies have been sorrencified!
