For those looking for good drinks, there was a wide variety of different types of beers and cocktails available. Service was nice and our server was accommodating. As far as food goes, I was a bit disappointed. I love gyros and was looking forward to enjoying one! Unfortunately, the pita bread smelt and tasted old, not soft nor fresh. The tzatziki sauce was flavorless and wasn't what I had expected. I was quite bummed. On the good side, we had the jalapeno poppers for our appetizer and that was yummy! My husband had a chef salad and you can tell it wasn't made with a lot of love - everything was just piled on. Overall, we'll still give this spot another go to try other items on the menu. Hoping it'll be better next time!

We were on our way to the Minnesota north country and stopped here for dinner. It was Monday night…read moreand the place was packed but in spite of that service was great! Here's the down low on the meals: We both started with dinner salads. Fresh romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and shredded cheese. We both really liked these. I had the Backfired Buffalo chicken wrap. Chicken was grilled, Romain lettuce, cheese and a house Buffalo sauce. It was all very good, except the sauce. It was a vinegar based sauce like Tabasco. I'm just not a fan of that. My SO had the Low Rider by Reuben sandwich. She said it was good but lacked the depth of flavor a great Reuben has. It had marbled rye bread, (not rye) sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. It also lacked the thousand island dressing common on Reuben sandwiches. Cool place, I'd like to stop by again and try other items.

Why not Hinckley? I…read morewas impressed. There are no mosquitos, just one good ol walkable block where an historic Main Street meets a scenic Hwy 61. Meet city scholars, foodies, and green thumbs. You'll feel right at home whether you golf or not, at Bogey's. Try their ribs on the third Saturday of the month and you won't be disappointed. (Don't worry, you can walk, run, or bike all those calories off on the Willard Munger trail that stretches 70 miles towards Duluth. Highly recommend if you enjoy a good local beer, a great value, walkability, and a friendly owner. Enjoy this new quintessential Main Street USA experience. I would go back and revisit because you can't take it all in, in just one day. Note* This is not like the casino that Hinckley is known for, the hours posted online fir these small local establishments are subject to change.

As in most rural establishments, the service is hit or miss, but, that the way it goes. However, the Lake View makes up for the staff shortcomings. The other thing I like is the consistency of the quality of all the different things I've dined on here. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Just out for a Sunday drive and we were getting hungry. Saw this place off 169 and decided to stop…read more Very good food and it came out really fast too. Service was good and our server very friendly. Fresh ingredients, homemade BBQ sauce (thinking bourbon and honey, delicious!), heck, they even make their own Bloody Mary mix. Husband got said Bloody Mary and I tried it. Pretty tasty but the beer snit was not the greatest. He also got the homemade chili which was really good & chunky as well at the BLT and fries. The BLT was on grilled Texas toast and a good portion of bacon. Really good. I got the steak bite with garden veggie wrap and BBQ dipping sauce and fries. This was delicious. The steak was tender and done exactly how I ordered. The fries are really good too but I asked for very lightly seasoned and they were still really salty. Too salty for me so I didn't eat as many. Overall, really good and would love to eat there again next time I'm up in Milaca.

The Saturday prime rib special was one of the deciding factors. Within the first few minutes, we learned that they were completely sold out [mind you it was before 7pm]. The two biggest disappointments were service, or lack thereof, and the amount of time it took for our order to be filled. For context, after ordering, we waited over 45 minutes for our food to be served. And when it did come, it was luke warm and not served at the same time. My husband was nearly done with his meal before I received mine. While completely outside the control of Rough-Cut, we sat, very, very hungry listening to some loud mouth drunk talking about how many girls his friend "banged". Mind you....we were sitting on the restaurant side, not the bar side. Just added to an already bad experience. Rough-Cut needs more and higher quality wait staff and a smaller menu that they can actually fill. Timely and of quality. For extra context, the dining room was busy, but we did not wait to sit down and there were open tables the entire time we were there. My recommendation for those traveling along 169 ....keep going. Sorry!
