    We ate there at 6pm after parade and it was busy, but it only took 20 minutes to receive our food…read morewhich was not bad with it being busy due to Watemelon Days. The service of all the bartenders and wait staff was above and beyond 5 stars! I was seated where I could watch kitchen and I observed the 1 and only cook handle food without gloves (FDA recommends avoiding bare hand contact with ready-to-eat foods) and boasted chicken is considered just that. There was a very bare simple menu so I ordered a cheeseburger and chips and he got the white chicken. I literally saw cook put the chicken in basket bare-handed and let my husband know that while he brought our order to window and I watch waitress bring over. My cheeseburger was well over-done as was the grilling of the bun which I ate some due to not having eaten and didn't want to wait longer, but the chicken was so overcooked that you could barely use fork to peel away a bite on the breast. When he finally got a bite, it was so dry that even dipping in ranch didn't help. The outside was very dark considered to other places we've gotten chicken from. Now, I was very impressed with the service compared to prior years at watermelon days, but the food was much better. I did see staff going back to try to help, so bonus stars for that. My husband did talk to owner who was very understanding and seems to really care about her bar and restaurant, and had 2 breasts remade but they ended up to be the same way unfortunately. Maybe for bigger crowds, have more people in kitchen the whole time so food is not overcooked for which should be discounted some to customers that do receive it that way. Next year we will eat at cafe or drive to Battle Lake before street dance.

    We ordered take-out chicken dinners based on the great reviews. It has been several years since we…read morehave eaten here and wanted to see how things with the new owners have changed. The new owners are very friendly and my husband spoke favorably of the changes inside. (He picked up the order.) Said it would be a really nice place to watch a game, etc. As to the food. The chicken was very moist and hot, but for us it was disappointing as to taste. A little bland for us. We kind of felt the same way about the potatoes. The coleslaw was fine but nothing special. Chicken places are a dime a dozen in the area and there are others that we prefer. But I could also see why this option would be preferable to some people. We still intend to try the place again and try some other things on the menu and perhaps watch a game.

    Just had a fantastic experience at The Shoreline Restaurant in Battle Lake, MN! From the moment I…read morewalked in, I was impressed. The restaurant was spotless, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making the whole visit a pleasure. But the real star of the show was the food! I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, and it was absolutely delicious. The perfect blend of spice and flavor, (though I am very used to spice so it may just be me)and clearly made with fresh ingredients. It's definitely one of the best wraps I've had in a long time. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a clean, friendly environment, The Shoreline Restaurant is the place to go. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

    We stopped here for a late brunch before leaving town on a Sunday. It definitely seemed like the…read moreplace to go on a Sunday for brunch/lunch. There is outside, restaurant side, bar, and bowling side seating. We didn't really walk around to see how much seating there actually was as it was very busy and we found an open table so sat down before it was taken by another group as you are required to seat yourself/group. The food was good and we would definitely order everything again. With how busy it was we were barely checked on by our waitress which was frustrating as our drinks sat empty for some time. They did apologize for how long it took for our food to get out (15-20 minutes), but we completely understood for it being a Sunday and it was rather busy with little to no open tables. We do recommend this place to grab a bite to eat but also warn that certain times of the day it may be busy and may have to wait for your food a little longer.
