It's simply a small town cafe. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of choices and the food is decent. But it's literally the same prices you can go get much better food at other places in Alexandria or Miltona if you're willing to drive that far. We simply planend to stop at the first place we found and decided to drive to "Downtown" Carlos. If everywhere else is too packed or it's convenient for you it will be an OK place to stop.

It is seat yourself, high tops and low tables and a few booths. Also full bar. We had burgers that were delicious, the Swampburger, Bacon Cheeseburger and Patty Melt - all were good size and perfectly done and came with side of tots, fries, wedges. We opted for seasoned sour cream for extra yummy experience. Good beer selection, cocktails were good and boozy. Parking easy and super kind staff. Service top notch and prices were reasonable. We recommend and will visit again!

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!

Wings were hot, crispy and very meaty. Came with an assortment of sauces both dry and wet. My favorite was the dry Parmesan garlic and the hubs loved the bourbon.

Captain's definitely does not make the best first impression from the outside. It looks pretty…read morebusted, but once you get inside, it's actually not half bad! The decor is pretty sparse, but the place is huge with TONS of seating. The best part of the space is easily the back patio. The massive garage doors open toward Lake Minnewaska, creating a really nice indoor and outdoor setup with great lake views. You can also pull your boat right up to the dock, which makes it super convenient if you're spending the day on the lake. There's even a liquor store inside if you want to grab something to take with you afterward. Unfortunately, the menu is incredibly limited. There aren't even any salads, which seems like such a weird omission for a lakefront bar and grill. The drink selection was also surprisingly limited. They didn't have Sauvignon Blanc, which I thought was pretty strange. Our server was nice, but didn't know the menu at all. They couldn't really provide recommendations and couldn't even answer basic questions about the food, including whether the bread on the BLT was toasted. The food itself was a mixed bag. The coleslaw was actually really good and super refreshing and the crispy chicken sandwich was pretty good too. The BLT, however, was SO basic and sad. It came with one small tomato and a single leaf of lettuce and just felt like something you could throw together at home with almost no effort. Overall, the lakefront setting and huge amount of seating give Captain's a lot of potential, but the extremely limited menu, lackluster BLT, limited drink options, and lack of menu knowledge from the staff made the experience pretty disappointing. The ability to pull up by boat is a great perk, but I would not go out of my way to come back for the food.

I was happy. It was Foggy Geezer, which is actually really good. Our waitress was nice and there was a good size crowd in here on a nice Sunday for lunch. I ordered the pulled pork hoagie and a side salad. It was a good size salad, they didn't have Caesar dressing, so I went with the blue cheese. The pulled pork was okay, a little sweet, but the roll was really good and it was filling. This place is worth a visit, if only because there are not a ton of restaurants around Miltona. I llked Chet's a little more, but I am glad I tried this place out. They do have a nice outdoor stage I remember and has live music at times.
