Super fluffy buttermilk cake with maple syrup. Wish I could make them as good at home. Husband had the double decker club sandwich. That was huge as well. He upgraded to onion rings which were crispy and delicious. Service was excellent. We requested a booth and were seated immediately. The servers were busy and visited our table often. Really great service. The vibe is definitely old time diner. Parking lot outside makes parking easy. Loved it.

The drinks are always cold and the food is Hot! Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Even for the most difficult orders and indecisive people. The atmosphere can be a little crowded at times. But everyone is so welcoming and friendly the patio has a great breeze. With old newspaper clippings of Osakis History that gives it a great neighborhood feel. That also helps out with Community events.

We came in on a Saturday morning for a family brunch and were taken care of right away. I ordered the BBQ Benedict, which seemed unique and like something I can't get just at any breakfast joint. Also got a single slice of French toast. Both were delicious! Other unique breakfast items to check out: French toast fritters and wild rice brats. Others at my table got those and raved about them.

We rode our bicycles the 10 miles on the Rails-to-Trails bike path from Alexandria to Osakis and stumbled on AJ's Restaurant for breakfast before riding another 10 miles back to Alex. Jeannie, the owner of the restaurant, did a great job making us feel welcome while taking our orders and serving our meals. After sharing a warm caramel roll right out of the oven, we ordered three different 3-egg omelettes. They were all perfectly cooked and filled with delicious veggies and meats. AJ's surpassed our expectations with great food, great service and a down-home small-town hospitality. Gotta throw AJ's the fin.

She did a great job. My attraction to the place was breakfast all day. I opted for Texas French toast. Three generous slices of French toast for $6. Had to get a side of bacon as well. Way too many calories but my kind of lunch. Husband had the wrap special with fries. He also liked his choice. I would have loved to try the chicken noodle soup but too full to add another item. Loved the bar stools which were boat seats. Very clever and also clever to advertise on the seat backs. Nice creativity. Good stop.

Keep in mind it's been a week and one day since Longtrees opened (reopened)…read more First, the environment is great! (except when the sun blinds you as it gets low in the sky) Need some sound absorbing materials in the ceiling so the waitress doesn't have to holler at you. Half of the menus didn't match the other half but did end having the same items. The service was great and the people great!! Fast service and people knew what they were doing. Waitress picked up on a few things without us saying anything. She was great! Definitely be back as they improve and dial things in. Prices were fair. Apps - The cheese curds and sauce were great. The chicken wings were very good per the group but messy. Just send wet wipes with the plate. They are full size chicken wings, not BW's style. Very large chickens apparently. Drinks: Northwoods Mule was very good, but Long Island Tea was burnt and not great (very light in color). Agnes (sp) Fruit Punch or whatever just tasted like alcohol. Waitress brought a 1/2 glass of juice to add to drink but it still tasted like watered down juice and alcohol. Specialty drinks should be something that are your really good at. Again, probably need some time to dial in. Fish & Chips (walleye strips) were excellent, but fries were soggy and had no flavor. Tiny coleslaw with that was juicy (not creamy) and was good, but I couldn't recognize the flavor. I didn't order the Walleye with cream sauce and mashed potatoes because of capers and am glad I did not. Another did and had to scrape the cream sauce off because the capers. Wild rice and Turkey sandwich sounded good and sweet potato fries had good flavor but undercooked. Salad bar is a nice touch, but please don't forget to fill. Also, please don't put things on far side that when reaching for end up falling into others. Diverse options on menu. Would have liked to try the PB&J burger, but the jelly flavor is "Chili", so that was a pass. Wish restaurants would give options with extreme items like that. Would like to try Swedish Meatball burger. Lingonberries maybe???
