I hesitated for a few days but pulled my receipt and decided to post…read more Busy night, but the "misses" were to many to ignore. Ordered Duck Wontons & a plain burger with a slice of raw onion. 20 minutes later server tells us they're out of wontons, need to select an alternative. Food comes out almost a hour after getting our table. Burger bun was ICE COLD, literally, top & bottom, that cooled the patty. Had others verify I wasn't being too picky. The raw onion on the burger cost $1.00, four rings of a purple onion. Fries, a $2.00 up-charge from chips were cold, soggy, limpy and clearly died waiting for the replacement meal (which lacked seasoning) for the out of stock Duck wontons. Tab came and included a charge for the out of stock Duck wontons. Had to track down our server, point out the error and wait for a corrected tab. Disappointing for a spot that we frequent.

Came up north for the weekend and this was our dinner of choice. Mission has been around awhile…read moreand has good vibes, friendly staff and great dependable food. We started with their spicy cranberry margarita and it was perfectly balanced between sweet and spicy. I love when a marg comes in a pint glass so I don't have to worry about knocking over a marg glass! We had the buffalo cauliflower bites as a starter-so yummy and fresh. We asked for ranch and blue cheese and they were both a great addition. For dinner, we had a burger, tacos and the pizza fries. I had the street corn burger and it was loaded with chunky sauces and perfectly meaty crispy fresh fries. Really reasonable prices and a nice clean place. Def recommend!

New place, so wanted to check it out. We decided to have happy hour with friends. We got there look…read morenice. Sat outside at a 8 top. Friendly service, plus the 3 appetizers we had were delicious. We also had mixed drinks plus try out the "You pour your microbrew" Where they give you a card. You go pour your owe beer. They charge by the oz. Seems like a great idea. Just make sure you can pour your brew correctly. You still pay foam. I like the place alot and recommend the Woods. However outside on the far side by the side parking lot. Beware of the walkway. Their is a dropoff. You could fall and hurt yourself. I noticed a few people didn't catch that and stumble. Hopefully management will place a yellow tap to bring attention to the dropoff. Check out the picture. I added text. I will be back for the food.

Pet friendly patio was a huge plus which is in part why we chose this place…read more Ourt server was delightful and made great recommendations and brought us a little pup water bowl along with our waters. Food ordered: Onion rings Macaroni and cheese which is the good old kraft mac n cheese for kiddos. Rigatoni Jambalaya bowl Greek chicken salad with a lot of great vegetables. Green chick peas were tasty. Turkey melt Beet and grapefruit salad. Food selection was pretty decent, but prices were a bit steep. Service was excellent and the deck area was very charming and again, pet friendly which was a huge plus. Great place. Great service!

Met a friend for drinks in "downtown Brainerd" (I grew up near Merrifield and I swear I never knew…read moreBrainerd had a downtown!) and this was referred for its specialty cocktails. Naturally I don't drink those so the awesomeness of this little hole-in-the-wall place is wasted on me. That said, Rob, the owner/bartender, is a hoot. Great sense of humor, easy-going, and quick with a drink! It's cash or check only, but don't worry, there's an ATM on-site so you don't have to give him a look of panic when you realize you might not be able to pay for the drink you just ordered. The ambience was friendly (there was a game of darts happening, plus it seemed all the dudes there knew each other or were at least familiar -- I was the only female in the joint), but a bit warm + humid. I didn't have layers on and wished I would've worn a t-shirt to be able to strip down to. Plus the prices were cheap!

I highly suggest the ham and cheese balls with moonshine sauce as an appetizer. The fish sandwich is very well proportioned and filling! I really haven't had one bad item, ever! The burgers are fantastic and the Castle Cream Ale is very cold in washing down the last bite. The beef is from the local meat market so if you need some good cuts of meat for the lake house/campsite/etc. be sure to stop by Thielen's Meats one block north! The wraps kick butt! Spend a day on the lake, then head to Bootlegger's for a great meal and a cold brew. Don't forget to buy a t-shirt! They are great conversation starters when you leave the wilds of Minnesota and return to the grind of the real world!

The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, and we waited approximately 15-20 minutes to be…read moreseated. However, the staff seated us as soon as they were able to accommodate us. One member of our group ordered the jerked chicken and ribs, and the ribs were the standout. They were tender, flavorful, and fell right off the bone. The chicken was slightly dry, and we agreed that ordering just the jerked ribs would be ideal. Another guest ordered the regular ribs and found them to be somewhat dry and less tender, although they were still enjoyable. The au gratin potatoes were very good, and the chicken Alfredo was also well prepared. This is one of the more expensive restaurants in the area, so it is not somewhere we visit frequently. However, the restaurant offers a distinctive cabin-style atmosphere, with one side dedicated to the bar. The overall setting has a fun, welcoming "up north" feel.
