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.

We really enjoyed our experience at Boulder Tap House. It's a fun, lively sports bar with a great…read moreatmosphere. Our service was overall okay, although there was a bit of confusion regarding our seating. We had requested a lower table because one member of our party of five adults has a disability. We were initially seated in a booth in one server's section, and when we explained that we needed a table instead, we were told it would take a long time. Thankfully, another server stepped in and quickly took care of the situation and found an appropriate table for us. We appreciated the quick assistance from the second server and enjoyed our time at Boulder Tap House overall.

What changed, is the food and menu. The service was great but the food & selection were outstanding! So many different selections. Combinations I had not imagined. I give it a 10!

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!

If you're in the Baxter/Brainerd Lakes area and looking for a hearty meal, we highly recommend…read moreGrizzly's Grill Smoke & Fire. Mike and I ordered the BBQ Combo Platter for Two, and there was so much food that we ended up taking more than half of it home! That's definitely a win in my book. The portions are huge, the food was very good, and there are plenty of options on the menu for everyone in your group. Grizzly's is known for its generous portions and wood-fired barbecue favorites, which definitely lived up to the hype. What really stood out was the seating. If you're traveling with a large family or a bigger group, this is a great spot because they have plenty of room to accommodate larger parties. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and perfect after a day of shopping or exploring the lakes area. Monique's Rating: 1/2 Must-Try: BBQ Combo Platter for Two (unless you're feeding a small army!) Bottom Line: Come hungry. Leave with leftovers. That's never a bad thing!

When you walk in, you will find the up north cabin core decor, is one might expect for a place named grizzlies. The day we were there they were just starting a new menu. Not a ton of options for vegetarians, but I was still able to find food to eat. The cocktails were tasty. The staff was so very, very sweet. One of my companions ordered a sesame Tuna bowl and that was quite good. Everyone enjoyed their perverse and steaks. Definitely a place to bring the family to.

Our…read morewings were the best version of BWW food you can get, not too chewy, well sauced, good temperature. Same thing with the fries. We got a kick out of just how many people work here, and all of their odd rolls. Somebody asked us just if we wanted samples (twice! once for any sauce, once with a platter of bites of something) Somebody else took our order, somebody else brought the food, somebody else brought drinks. It was almost amusing. Also, when our ketchup bottle turned out to be mostly empty, yet another person showed up with a replacement before we even looked up to see if a server was nearby. I'd go back.

I have had it at 2 other Applebee's several times, so the problem was at this location. Then our food came and we didn't have utensils! The server said that they were being wrapped.

No one reached out. Never again.
