Super fluffy buttermilk cake with maple syrup. Wish I could make them as good at home. Husband had the double decker club sandwich. That was huge as well. He upgraded to onion rings which were crispy and delicious. Service was excellent. We requested a booth and were seated immediately. The servers were busy and visited our table often. Really great service. The vibe is definitely old time diner. Parking lot outside makes parking easy. Loved it.

Our waitress was so wonderful, friendly and very attentive . The food was delicious, probably one of the best Reuben sandwich I have ever eaten, and it's one of my go to items when we find an old cafe or diner. My husband got the fish sandwich which was gone before I had even gotten through the first half of my sandwich, so I know he loved his meal too. And the French rhubarb pie was on a whole other level of amazingness. We will definitely be stopping in again soon

Our waitress was very kind and attentive, exactly what I want at a local diner. I did notice my coffee cup came out dirty, which was a terrible first impression. Food was a mix. The Hangover Pancake was tasty overall, though a little on the dry side and not quite as loaded with meat as the menu description makes you expect. The blueberries inside were super sweet and fresh, which gave a nice balance to the salt from the meat. The eggs were as basic as it gets (that's what I wanted). I also tried the cinnamon roll. It was just okay because the icing was hard as a rock and the roll itself came out dry and lukewarm. That said, the prices are very fair, especially for the portions, and it's the kind of place that makes you want to come back for the atmosphere and friendly service.

I got a traditional biscuits and gravy meal & side of French toast the first time; the second I got a special of the day-- 10oz New York strip with eggs and hashbrowns. I kid you not, that might be just about one of the best steaks I've been served in Minnesota... and probably still top 10 overall! (Better than many I've had at steakhouses!) It's family owned and charming. The food is at a great price. You won't be disappointed.

We rode our bicycles the 10 miles on the Rails-to-Trails bike path from Alexandria to Osakis and stumbled on AJ's Restaurant for breakfast before riding another 10 miles back to Alex. Jeannie, the owner of the restaurant, did a great job making us feel welcome while taking our orders and serving our meals. After sharing a warm caramel roll right out of the oven, we ordered three different 3-egg omelettes. They were all perfectly cooked and filled with delicious veggies and meats. AJ's surpassed our expectations with great food, great service and a down-home small-town hospitality. Gotta throw AJ's the fin.

She did a great job. My attraction to the place was breakfast all day. I opted for Texas French toast. Three generous slices of French toast for $6. Had to get a side of bacon as well. Way too many calories but my kind of lunch. Husband had the wrap special with fries. He also liked his choice. I would have loved to try the chicken noodle soup but too full to add another item. Loved the bar stools which were boat seats. Very clever and also clever to advertise on the seat backs. Nice creativity. Good stop.

We decided to come back about 4:30 on Sunday, thinking it would be less busy. It was not! We were seated towards the back of the restaurant and could view the lake from our seat. Pretty cool. Our waiter was a nice guy and I ordered a Summit Pale Ale to start us off. No draft beer, OK. What do you want from a small lakeside restaurant in a small town? The place does seat quite a few people and the first thing you notice when you walk in is the well-stocked salad bar and bar off to the side. They are known for their broasted chicken, but I ordered 2 walleye fillets, and it came with a trip to the salad bar and I got a side of some of my favorite things ever, but you rarely find, fried chicken gizzards. I disregarded the salad and stocked my plate with tons of chopped olives and mushrooms and all the goodies. They had cold salads and chicken noodle soup that all came with my trip. It was AWESOME! The chicken gizzards came out first and were perfect! Not too much batter and nice and hot. Tater tots came with my meal as well. I mean come on. Who doesn't love tater-tots? I rarely get them, but they were delectable. The fillets were good size and a dip in tarter sauce and a squeeze of lemon made for some perfect fish. Unfortunately, I was STUFFED from my accouterments and could only have a few bites of my fish. It made for a great lunch the next day and heated up well in the microwave. Great place for a family dinner and good people all around!
