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!

If you are looking for a place to sit and be treated like shit the whole time you're there then this is the place for you! They treat you like absolute shit, and will not accommodate you. Rob (the asshole owner) promised our band a place to stay while we played at his hole in the wall venue. He said that he had an apartment upstairs for us to stay in prior to us being there. Got there, proceeded to ask where we'd be sleeping for the night and got a confused look from management. Management called Rob and then made me talk to him. Rob claimed that he never said he would provide us a room to stay but he would "do us a favor" and give us a room that had no electricity and running water. The room looked like it was out of a horror film. So of course that led us to get a hotel room (that he still didn't pay for). When Robbie boy booked us he said he'd pay us 1100 for the combined two nights which he ended up paying us, but before he payed us he was trying to scam us out of 400 dollars even after he didn't reimburse us for our hotel that he promised us. I've never had such a strong urge to strangle someone in my whole life. I've never felt so mistreated in my life. So there it is. If you want the worst experience of your life the Iron Rail in Brainerd is for you!

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.
