The food was cooked perfectly. The service was 10/10 where our server checked on us periodically. Located at the Cragun's Resort, we thought the food and pricing would be mediocre, overpriced tourist restaurant, but no! The food was delicious that we let each other try our dish. I had the medium-rare sirloin. It sirloin was tender. The fingerling mashed potatoes was flavorful and the vegetables were steamed well with a hint of buttery taste. The walleye was coated well. The fish was also tender and flaky. The vegetables were also steamed well. The wild rice was OK to me, but my husband thought it was amazing. My Nana had the chef's special: taste of Tbilisi. I really like the chicken skewers. She loves the eggplant and bell pepper ragout. My Poppop also had sirloin, but we also shared the focaccia bread. I really like the buttered dried tomato mix. It was different than your usual bread and butter. After dinner, we learned there was a dessert menu when the manager checked in on us. She said, "make sure you save room for dessert." There was not a physical dessert menu, but our server had the list on her checkbook. My husband and I shared the peaches creme brûlée. Again, everything was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate. There was outdoor seating available, but due to the scattered rain, we opt to stay indoors. There was a mix of customers sitting in and outdoors. It is above the outdoor swimming pool, but we were able to eat in peace. Very well decorated too. We did recommend this place to another family for their date night. It is that good! Also by the looks of the reviews and food pictures, it looks like the menu change - be sure to check out their website for the latest menu.

Regional airports normally are not on my radar when it comes to looking for a breakfast joint but…read moremy mom and dad took us here after hearing good things about it. The cafe is a laid back, little place tucked into one of the airport's wings. The room has large floor to ceiling windows which means lots of natural light and the chance to watch airplanes come and go while enjoying your dining experience. Service was super friendly and on top of things. The kids really enjoyed watching the hustle and bustle of the planes which allowed for the adults to enjoy our food and conversations. Foodwise, the breakfast menu is pretty solid. Good Americana diner fare. The menu highlighted some tried and true Minnesota classics like wild rice porridge (manoomin), walleye, and blueberry pancakes. The pancakes are thick and soak up syrup like a sponge while the omelettes and breakfast platters come with golden crisp hashbrowns cooked to perfection. Best bang for your buck would be the large caramel or cinnamon rolls. Huge roll for only $3.95. Not a bad place with good service and a unique setting. Also tried and true to its central Minnesota roots so a great place for tourists to stop to sample some iconic Minnesota dishes.

Hungry? Not sure where to get good food? If that's the case,…read morethen take it from me, a guy like yourself who searched with despair through the limited dive bar and tavern food options in these north woods for anything that would possibly surprise my tastebuds with the sensation of enjoyment. Good? Okay? Mediocre... my search became desperate and the bar even lower the further out I looked from my location until I came across Chick N Rice. What's that? Pictures of food that look appetizing? It must be too good to be true. It must be AI generated. But I am out of options, so I took the long drive... First came the Lemon Coconut Soup. With one bite, years of bad food experiences that created Up North food PTSD came crashing down... next came the Hot Chicken sandwich. Friends. With delight I would like to inform you, Chick N Rice does not disappoint. They do not settle. Made fresh to order. And with decades old family Recipes made the way they did back in Thailand. My only regret is that I don't live in Brainerd, and to enjoy this delish food requires additional trips back. But I kid you not, if the lakes weren't enough, this food makes it worth the consideration! Enjoy!!

We were looking for comfort food after a long day, and ordered delivery…read more The delivery took about as long as we expected - given high tide on a Saturday night. My friend had 1/4 chicken & 2 sides. The fries would have been good, but the package wasn't sealed and so the fries were cold. I ordered Chick N Rice, and was surprised to get instead 1/2 chicken. It was delicious chicken. I give them that. Wouldn't have minded receiving the white chicken promised on the menu. The food is good. Perhaps better in person?

She VERY rudely says "we don't have that, that was like 2 or 3 years ago ". OK, menu says you can swap out burger for chicken, i explained. Again, she says we don't have that. So I asked do you have chicken sandwich? Yes, she says... OK, I'll have that, grilled chicken, add buffalo sauce, add blue cheese. What for a side, she asks? Onion rings I said. Seriously, know your menu and how to get to the end result without being a complete B on the phone. Picked up food, gal who took the order saw us and ignored us, we paid and left. Sandwich was dry and unremarkable. Definitely not worth what I paid for , $22.94 for sandwich and onion rings, no tip because she was so rude. Complete rip off. Avoid.

I was super sad about this. We ordered food to go and most of it tasted like it was pre made and double cooked. The best thing was the cheese curds! They came with a prepackaged container of marinara. Entrees- Fish basket and chicken tenders baskets. I wouldn't get either again. The fish was super over cooked and almost looked like it was pre fried and froze before they refried. Overall, not impressed. I would possibly eat at the restaurant/ bar as it looked clean and maintained inside. Maybe this would be a better outcome? They did have a full bar and local brews.

I noticed a great special happens Sundays 11-2 all you can eat pizzas and half priced starters!

The flavors weren't bad, just not as impressive as we'd hoped. That said, the service was excellent super fast and the staff was genuinely friendly. Overall, an okay meal with standout hospitality. Not sure what the butter was for as it was flavorless for us, the peppers were great though!
