We stopped by The Pickle Loon while staying at a family cabin down the road. Even on a Monday, the…read moreplace was packed!! It started raining before we arrived, so I think everyone headed inside at once, but we were able to grab seats at the bar and still received great service. I ordered the AYCE walleye. The portions were a little smaller than I expected, but the fish was good and I especially enjoyed the hush puppies. My husband ordered the Loon Burger and said it was one of the best burgers he's had in a while. The only downside was the wait for the second round of walleye, which took close to 30 minutes. By then we were ready to leave, so we ended up taking it to go. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try some of the other menu items!!

You should get a plate full of food as we were served in the past. Service is still Great, ambiance Great, drinks Good. It's too bad this is no longer a first thought for a Great Dinner.

Red Pine Cookhouse is getting all the buzz north of MN 210, and for good reason! The proprietors…read moreare serving up authentic modern Vietnamese and Thai dishes, alongside standard up north favorites like burgers and fish and chips. Two of us had the Pad Thai, one had steak and potatoes, and the other Szechuan tofu. The Pad Thai stands up to any version I've had anywhere, a strong and solid offering with the tanginess of tamarind balanced with fresh chopped cilantro. The traditional beef and potatoes dish can be hit and miss, but this one balanced potatoes with crispy edges and pillowy starchiness with quality strips of steak, all stir fried together in just enough brown sauce to bring it together. The tofu and snap peas in a spicy Szechuan sauce were flavorful and hearty enough after appetizers. We didn't get pictures of the egg rolls, which are as good as you'll find in these parts and the spring rolls, which were slightly less authentic than we'd hoped. We finished off with lemon bar ice cream, Vietnamese flan, and a toffee Bundt cake. Red Pine Cookhouse is a visually impressive log building with plenty of natural light flowing in through the many windows and a curved staircase leading up to a game room for the kids. We enjoyed the evening on the patio. We were thrilled to have been introduced to this gem of a restaurant, and look forward to our next trip back!

I love how there's even a variety of vegetarian and gluten free options. Prices are soooo good, most meals under $10! I tried the Zorbaz Drekker sour and it was SO good! But they have like 20+ different taps, so a variety of options to try! Love the self-service and always a friendly staff! Would recommend to anyone who needs to get a true minnesotan feel of a resturant!

Ordered Duck Wontons & a plain burger with a slice of raw onion. 20 minutes later server tells us they're out of wontons, need to select an alternative. Food comes out almost a hour after getting our table. Burger bun was ICE COLD, literally, top & bottom, that cooled the patty. Had others verify I wasn't being too picky. The raw onion on the burger cost $1.00, four rings of a purple onion. Fries, a $2.00 up-charge from chips were cold, soggy, limpy and clearly died waiting for the replacement meal (which lacked seasoning) for the out of stock Duck wontons. Tab came and included a charge for the out of stock Duck wontons. Had to track down our server, point out the error and wait for a corrected tab. Disappointing for a spot that we frequent.

Our waiter provided excellent service and was attentive throughout the meal. The kid's meals were delicious, and the burgers were outstanding--definitely the highlight of our visit. The wraps and sandwiches, however, could use some improvement. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap wasn't nearly as spicy as expected and tasted pretty mild. The Chicken Bacon Ranch was on the dry side and came with a thick slice of American cheese, which didn't seem like the best choice. I think it would be much better with shredded cheese and a side of ranch to add some moisture and flavor. Overall, we'd come back for the great service, burgers, and lively atmosphere, but we'd probably skip the wraps and sandwiches next time.

We ordered a couple pizzas which took a good bit of time to come out and little taste in the crust (plus they were thin and heavily cooked so it was more of a cracker). The drink options are not listen anywhere so they just have your standard options. Venue was very loud and even though we were inside, our table was bothered by several flies. Plus the "plates" we got were tiny styrofoam and only worked okay because the pizza slices were so small. On the bright side however, the prices were not that high at least averaging around $10-12 per person and soda at $3
