They took our orders quickly and didn't bat an eye at the kids running around (not mine!). Beer is dirt cheap. Burgers are good. Oh..and the fried onion rings are delicious. Yum! You can feel the local mirth and rosy cheeks up in here. This is a local favorite. And it's easy to see why. The place is huge and homey. Complete with slot machines and tvs of course. The servers are so friendly and run this place to the ground.

I want to start with the positive...the food is really good. We have been going here for years…read more But something shady is going on. Look at your bill when they give it to you. A 34.99 meal shows up as 36.39. A 18.99 meal shows up as 19.75. Then the subtotal of those 2 incorrect amounts, then the tax. When asked about the amounts, I was told that a credit card "tax" was added automatically. So are they charging a tax on a tax? Why would they assume before even getting the bill that it was being paid by credit card. They are not disclosing how much the credit card fee is, and hiding it at the bottom, like paying cash gives you a discount. This is so disingenuous. Inflated amounts are being used to base tips on and I am not falling for this B.S. To the owners....Just do the right thing before you chase off all your good customers.

Whether you get their Crispy chicken, or Falafel pita, Chicken Wings or chips & dips ...YUM!

Everything feels elevated, fresh, and thoughtfully done, while still having that welcoming small-town feel. Once you discover Good Life Cafe, you honestly won't want to go anywhere else in town. I call it my little slice of heaven in Park Rapids -- and it deserves so much more attention! An absolute must-visit.

Our waiter, Mitch, made sure we didn't want for anything the entire time. We started with the chips & dips. The smoked Gouda cheese dip and guac were memorable--the chips and salsa were not. The BLT with thick cut peppered bacon was scrumptious, but the chips were blegh. I had the beet and basil salad and all I can say is I was looking forward to the goat cheese but because the lettuce wasn't torn/cut enough, you tussled with it on top (and that was after hacking through the beets) while you eventually discovered they rubbed the goat cheese on the bottom of the plate like a dirty little secret. The music, booths/tables, and ambiance were great, so we'd probably give them another try.

Oh , Clancy. You started off strong but petered out early…read more We were looking forward to our meal in the lakehouse restaurant, charmed by the rustic decor and multitude of taxidermied critters on the walls. We ordered curds and beer (as one should) which were delivered promptly by a friendly server. The curds were hot and delicious, and we had a Drekker red ale, a War Pig hazy IPA and a Bemeji pale ale -- all excellent! 5 stars if we had left at that moment. We ordered our entrees, and waited....and waited.... Friendly server began avoiding eye contact. Uh oh. One hour and 15 minutes later, after several pointed prompts, our food was delivered. Broasted chicken platter was delivered with wrong components (dark meat and mashed potatoes instead of white meat and Cole slaw). Two plates had regular fries instead of "fresh cut fries". Two burgers were extra well done. Walleye sliders and onion rings were good. No explanation was provided for the delay, though our server was highly apologetic. We inferred there was an issue in the kitchen -- maybe overwhelmed by the number of diners? Or someone didn't show up for work? The manager in duty did make amends via a % credit on the check. We are visitors to the area and our local hosts who dined with us said they had previously had a good experience at Clancy's. Based in our combined experiences, I recommend Clancy's for a beer and appetizer, but odds aren't great for dinner.

Clancy's has a great spot right on the lake. The inside is casual and inviting. They also have…read moreoutdoor seating and events they put on. There are only about 3-4 dining options in and around the lake so Clancy's is usually busy. That's the good stuff. Unfortunately the food does not impress. We ordered 2 fish and chips. What we got were decent fries and 4 tiny fish nuggets. We paid $17. For each order. I was shocked when we got these tiny little fish nuggets when we're right here on the lake where fish is bountiful. I was so disappointed. I gave one star for the location and one star for the nice guy that took our order. But that's all I got. Clancy's need to focus on improving the quality of food on their menu. Sadly, I don't think I will go back.

You have to be careful if you are visiting Park Rapids, as this breakfast place is 'cash only'. The ambience was wonderful with all kinds of nostalgic memorabilia regarding the Great Northern Railway and its history. The breakfast itself was not something to write home about, and our server was so busy that she forgot my sister's orange juice, leaning towards a "understaffed" situation that was apparent. I plan to visit my sister in Park Rapids multiple times in the future, but do not plan to revisit this breakfast place.

Stopped in at New York Mills newest "brew pub" Continental Divide on a Saturday afternoon…read more Traditionally speaking a brew pub is an establishment that brews their own beer and serves food made in house. This place doesn't actually brew their own beer which was a bit of a bummer. It is actually what I would call a taphouse. Nevertheless they have an insanely good tap beer list. There are many styles of beer to choose from sure to please any palate. They also offer craft cocktails on tap. The decor is beautiful. A very open, inviting, and comfortable space. There are a handful of tables in the front as you walk in and a bar in the back with an exposed kitchen beyond that. We ordered wings, nachos, and pizza. Wings were cooked nicely and the sauce was flavorful but not quite as described. Nachos had a beautiful presentation but were cold. Pizza was OUTSTANDING. This place is super new and has a good base going. I fully expect them ironing out some of the issues with the food. Staff were all very fun and friendly. Didn't have to wait to order food or drinks.
