Waitress said the beef burgers were fresh, never frozen. Can build your own (I created a bacon pepper jack cheese burger). Wife had the jalapeños burger and son had a plain cheese burger. They were phenomenal! And the onion rings were spectacular. I suspect they are freshly made as well. I we have not had ones breaded as these. They also had an impressive list of tap beers. Mostly larger domestic, but also a few local craft. Highly suggest you dump the large chains and stop here when in the area!

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!

Thanks to all at Irish Pub for being neighborly to a new comer!

NOTE: It's no longer "Last Turn Saloon" - that closed and it's now "Last Turn Brew Pub"…read more It used to be our favorite place to go - very cool old "speakeasy" vibe and vintage decor, good food, great service. The old place closed and has reopened as a brew pub (although they don't offer their own branded beer, just beers from various local breweries). The new menu is limited and many old favorites are gone (although they kept a couple of the sandwiches). The new menu includes very overpriced hotdogs ($12 for a hotdog?!) and the drink menu is limited. What we were mostly disappointed about though was that the atmosphere lost a lot of its charm with the removal of the beautiful old lighting and ironwork. The bar is still there, but forelorn looking without a full liquor assortment. The backroom is now closed (we think that's where the eventual brewery equipment might go?). Its just not the Last Turn as we knew and loved it, and there isn't enough there to bring us back in any more.

People were really nice, pool tables looked brand new, and even though the kitchen was closed for the night, the cook agreed to open it back up when a group of three patrons said they were hungry and he overheard them. I only put in review now since Covid is starting to ease up and I was planning to take another vacation to Brainerd and had to look up the name of the place. Good people, good food, friendly staff, new pool tables, what more could you ask for? I'd say for sure check this place out if you get the chance! Oh yeah and they have a ping pong table too, which was something you don't see everyday.

I was in Brainerd for a basketball game and stopped into 612 Station for a bite before the game…read more Someone at the next table said that it is under new ownership. 612 has a full bar and at least 12 beers on tap including a couple local offerings. The menu is pretty simple but includes burgers, appetizers, 2 salads, a couple of sandwiches and 3 or 4 full dinners. I tried the Walleye sandwich and it was really good! The fish was flavorful and flaky with a light tempura- like batter and the fillet was served on a fresh, grilled hoagie style roll. The sandwich came with lettuce and tomato but they weren't really necessary. A bland yellow tar tar sauce also came with the fish. (The tar tar sauce needed onion, pickle and fresh parsley to complement the Walleye). Sandwiches come with a choice of cole slaw, fries or tots. I had the fries which were excellent potato peel type shaped. Sometimes restaurants serve a Walleye sandwich that doesn't taste like or have the texture of Walleye but that wasn't the case here. This sandwich was really Walleye, not some mystery fillet that fell off the back of the Sysco truck. My companion ordered the California burger and pronounced it good. She ate everything except the fresh red onion so I think it was more than acceptable. Service was fine for a local bar which is basically what 612 Station is. If you find yourself downtown Brainerd, give it a go. In my opinion you can't really go wrong with a cold beer and a great Walleye sandwich.
