The food is exactly what you want here (Heggies and Giovanni's pizza that somehow taste best in a place like this). The fried apps are all good, try the crispy fried pickle chips and it feels like your at the State Fair. If your around stop in. If your driving by Nisswa on 371 take a short detour and try this place out.m, your gonna love it.

Hands down the BEST brisket sandwich I've ever had. The maple syrup dip for the sweet potato fries…read moreabsolutely sent me over the edge... I could not stop dipping. Honestly, I need that on chicken & waffles ASAP. If you get the opportunity, make a stop in Crosby for lunch or dinner. Everything on the menu looked amazing, and I had the hardest time deciding.

We got takeout on a Sunday night and had an overall easy time ordering over the phone since the…read morewebsite doesn't take online orders. Our food was ready in 15 minutes for us to pickup. We got a chicken salad sandwich, burger, shrimp tacos and the corn dog and chicken tender kids meals. Overall the food was solid. In particular the shrimp tacos had really good flavor. The shrimp tasted fresh and was really well balanced with the sauce. The kettle chips were also well spiced and not too salty. I loved the options with the kids meals for fresh fruit and vegetables, but something to note is the kids menu doesn't appear online. We have eaten in the restaurant before and there is plenty of space and has a fun aesthetic. Our only negative was they put the chips on top of everything in the to go containers, so the chips got soggy. Another thing to note is it can get pretty busy in town, so parking can be a challenge.

Oh, and don't be shy of the PB&JJ burger or the Cinnabon Burger.

Being right on the lake, the view is AMAZING. The food is a bit expensive, but definitely fits with the vibe. They have a really nice inside and outside for seating. We had a large group, and they dont take reservations... but only took around 30 mins to get sat. In that time we were able to enjoy the outdoor bar and live music. It seems like a fun time to spend a few hours enjoying a brew or driving your boat up to it too!

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!

We love this place!!!! Always great friendly service and fantastic drinks!!! Great crowd !!read more

Admittedly this review is late. I visited this bar shortly before Covid hit and and stopped in…read morelate at night, this was an interesting place. 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.
