It was a bit pricier than I imagined it would be, but the portions are sizable so you definitely get what you pay for. My sister got the Turkey Club and loved it. My nephew got the black and blue burger and that thing was massive. I got the Rueben which had a lot of meat but next time I'll ask for more sauce as it did not have much. The atmosphere was wonderful. I'd definitely go back here again if I'm on vacation near by.

Service is fast and cheerful, though the kitchen can be slow at times. Ambiance is approximately what you'd expect at a bowling alley. Crowded tables, lighted beer signs on the wall. Not really attractive but we're there for the food anyway.

Excellent burgers & pizza - 4 stars!…read more FYI, it's called "Riley's Cannibal Junction", NOT "Riley's Fine Food & Drink". Don't judge a book by its cover. That's the first thing I have to say about this hole-in-the-wall bar & restaurant. When you find them, it feels like the middle of nowhere because there are no houses, cabins, or other businesses in sight. This is a totally casual, no-frills place with a hunting and fishing cabin type of vibe. Come as you are. Are you still wearing your hunting camo or your snowmobile suit? No problem. The burgers, pizzas, and soups are very good. The all-beef patties are the real deal. No soybean additives here. The owner makes an extra effort to get a higher grade ground beef. You can definitely taste the difference. The staff is very friendly and unpretentious. And the prices are remarkably reasonable (see photo). If you're interested in the history, they have a summary on the back of the menu and on the Facebook page. It all goes back to the 1950s and an eccentric husband & wife named Chester & Violet Guiles. The local kids started calling Chester "Cannibal Guiles". Once a week they'd go to Deer River to buy groceries in a horse drawn buckboard. One final note: I read a silly previous review accusing this place of being "disgustingly racist". I saw no evidence of racism whatsoever. In fact, there was a Native American gentleman cooking on the day I visited. I complimented him on the burgers and we had a nice chat. He's a nice dude. I don't know what kind of personal beef was going on at some point in the past, but this review is pretty bad...the worst type of ignorant, woke, race baiting & trolling with no evidence at all. Don't like 'em? Don't go there. This stupid review should really be removed or sidelined by Yelp. Anyway, enough time wasted on that topic... Stop by if you're in the area. Grab a brew and some grub. Thumbs up! -Maxx

We almost drove past it since it is a little road that looks like it is only one lane. There is a yellow banner hanging in the trees. That is how you know you are there. You dive through the forest, and it pops out of nowhere. It is a great surprise. Don't be put off by how it looks on the outside. It is a great place to eat and drink. It is very clean and the Bar Tender / Waitress was quick and attentive. They had outside seating as well as inside seating. My Brother-in-law had a bad meal at another local restaurant earlier in the week. He was very pleased with his meal here. Please stop by when you are in town to visit this location in the woods.

We ordered a 16 inch with wings and it did not fill two of us up. In comparison we would do a 14 inch with wings and another local place and have 1/2 to 1/3 left. Looking at it we saw more sauce than cheese and i could not see the sausage. On a positive the crust was crispy and the jalapeños were fresh cut, not out of a jar. But maybe 1/2 of what i would consider normal ingredients including sauce. Felt cheated , not like any of the photos Online!

We popped in and got a cheese pizza, a woodsman supreme pizza, and a bacon cheeseburger pizza followed by a generous piece of cinnamon cake. They do it ALL right! The crust, the toppings, the sauce, the cheese, it's all amazing and well proportioned! The star of the show for me was the bacon cheeseburger pizza. It's got it all! Pickles, mustard, two types of cheese, all without being overbearing and unbalanced. Everything made sense in the amount it was used. The stand out for my husband was the woodsman supreme. The slices were weighty and full of the toppings. The cinnamon cake at the end was light, moist, and delicate. A perfect follow up to the punch of flavor the pizza offered. The two gentlemen who were waiting on us were beyond "Minnesota nice". They were attentive, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and clearly love what they do at LMNO Pizza. 10/10 10/10‍
