    Loved the ghost pepper wings! Hubby had burger and fries, which did not disappoint. Will definitely visit again during the season

    This is a fun little place with a wide variety of foods and sweets for the kids. Food was definitely worth the wait!

    Food is pretty good if you order the right thing. Love the pita pocket but a lil pricey for what you get.

    We dined here for lunch while on a mini day trip to Taylor Falls. It took awhile to get seated and…read moreonce we sat it took awhile to even get drinks, but that was the only hiccup we had. Once we got our root beer floats we were happy campers. I read that they make the root beer daily, the buns are from a local bakery, and the meat from a local butcher which is super awesome. The burger was absolutely amazing. I haven't had a good burger like that in a minute since most places seem to do smash burgers lately. My son had a chicken strip kids meal that came with a generous portion including a cookie and drink plus a side. Our family all enjoyed the classic music, and I thought the poodle skirts were fun! This place definitely has that old school drive in feel and the mini golf looked like a hit. They also are dog friendly which is a plus in my book. We'd plan to go back again someday!

    Cute concept and we loved the old-fashioned drive-in idea, but the experience didn't quite deliver…read more The wait was fairly long, and a car pulled up next to us with people smoking, so up went our windows and there went the nostalgic drive-in vibe. Customer service was a little lackluster. We tried the veggie burger, fries, and cheese curds. The burger was alright, the fries were dry and could definitely use some seasoning, and the cheese curds were chewy with an odd texture. Maybe burgers and shakes are where they shine. Not terrible, just not really our style. Cute idea, mediocre date. ‍

    From the road, it appears to be your standard midwestern, small town cafe. Turns out it is. The…read moreemphasis is on food; not decorating or flash. If you want high society or something frilly, you'll find yourself disappointed. If you want a paved parking lot, check elsewhere. Adequately staffed, it handled a nice-sized late lunch crowd without problems. The whiteboard displayed breakfast specials; however, Wednesday afternoon didn't offer any lunch specials. The menu for lunch wasn't huge but offered up a fair amount of choices to satisfy most tastes. My partner ordered a California burger and fries. While messy, it was a good-sized burger. I had the Reuben sandwich and fries. It was a filling sandwich and had good flavor. I think both my partners and I would agree that it wouldn't hurt the cooks to throw a few more French fries in the oil when filling fry orders. While there are a couple of fast food restaurants in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in at Wendy's for breakfast or lunch. I know we will try it again in the future.

    I love small independent restaurants and Wendy' Place is right on point. There is nothing wrong…read morewith Perkins or Panara, but places like WP are the best - friendly staff, ample portions and reasonable prices. Four of us went there on a Saturday morning and had a fabulous breakfast - eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, French toast, English muffins - we had it all. Only downside was - their coffee was not very good - they should consider premium coffee and an espresso machine to up their game in the coffee area.
