20oz Samuel Adams Oktoberfest on tap $7

Still amazing stop for lunch or dinner! Great local taps (as well as bottled beer choices)

Chicken taco salad
Jan K.

You can tell there is a lot of history within the walls of this restaurant and it was packed with locals so that's always a good sign to me. Our waitress was prompt with taking our order, and following up with us later for refills, etc. My husband went with the chicken taco salad and I had the log jammer plate. The shell on the taco salad was nice and crisp and the meat had great seasoning and was moist. My log jammer sandwich was the best prime rib sandwich I had in quite some time, both in the meat being tender & flavorful, as well as the fact that they weren't stingy with the prime rib. The french fries on the side were crisped to perfection.

Never ever disappoints. The Log Cabin staff are some of the best in the business.

Fantastic Service and consistent food! Never a disappointment! We love the Log and all their amazing staff! Inside or out the ambiance is always perfect! 10 out of the 10 every single time!

Kids fish.

It had been years since my wife and I ate there before we got married so we took our kids out for dinner. The place was decorated wonderfully and the staff was pretty friendly. Our waitress was quick with our order and drinks. The walleye was great and my son's cheeseburger seemed nice as he ate it fast. The chicken strips on the kids menu are great size and good flavor. The two pork chops I ordered were juicy and had great flavor. The cheesy onion hash browns were fine and crispy. We will return again in the future.

I've been here twice now. Food is just fine. Nothing great, nothing terrible. Just average food and average service.

We enjoyed the food and the service. Cool log cabin decor too. We don't live nearby but I would go back if I was in the area.

The prime rib lived up to the advertising! Perfectly cooked and delicious. The bartender was fantastic despite being slammed with business.

Embracing my Swedish/ Norwegian side checking out the lovely town ofLindström today. Well known as…read morethe town with the teapot water tower just north of Forest Lake. Along with a tasty lunch in Chisago. @thenorthernlaketavern wrapped up our visit with a tasty lunch. We enjoyed the chicken and garlic flatbread, and a mushroom Swiss burger with tots. Uffdah what a fun day! Hoping everyone can find some Hygge in your days.

Sis and I took a last-minute Thursday late afternoon roadtrip up Hwy 8 due to a FB Marketplace…read morepickup. It was dinnertime and I asked the Seller a restaurant they recommend in the area. She told us The Northern and to make sure to order the cheese curds. Looking at the menu before hitting the road again, sis and I knew the place was for us: burgers, sandwiches and wraps. Pulling into the parking lot was easy. Even though looked full, we were still able to find a spot. I want to note the gorgeous view of the red barn/farm across from the pond when pulling in. I noticed a patio on the North side of the building, which would put this farm in your view. We did have about a 20 minute wait for a table for 2. The restaurant looked busy from what I could see. Once we were brought to out table, I then noticed that the bar seating was pretty much open. Had I known, we might have elected to just sit at the bar. However, I asked for menus right away so that we could at least ponder it during that 20 minutes. We were sat at a high top right near the kitchen door. Being able to see all the food come out, I changed my mind on what I was going to order almost 10 times. We asked for the cheese curds as soon as we were greeted by our waitress. OMGosh! They were in the shape of cubes, deep fried to golden perfection. The outside had perfect firmness from the fryer. The inside was gooey, salty white cheese. Perfect just by itself. It did come with a ranch dipping sauce that was just so yummy. It reminded me a seasoned sour cream. The waitress didn't know the brand of the cheese curds (ie. Ellsworth) but did say the ranch was homemade Sis ordered the Great Northern Burger with French fries. She's a fan of BBQ sauce, bacon and onion rings on a burger. Fries were nicely seasoned, long, soft and semi-skin-on (not crinkle or steak fries). Burger was huge and worth the $15.99 price tag. I settled on the BOTM, the Nacho Burger, with tator tots. Toppings included nacho cheese, Fritos chips, bacon, diced/sliced jalapenos. The tator tots were one of the best I've ever had. Again, seasoned nicely. And the perfect ratio of hard outside crunch to soft inside potato. The Nacho burger was huge too....and messy with the nacho cheese. The Fritos did get a little soggy at the end. The bacon was under the melted cheese. And there were plenty of jalapenos hidden under the meat patty. Those were easy to discard so I could control how many fiery peppers were in my mouth at one time. Was service slower than normal? Yes. Was the service friendly? Yes. Was it worth the wait? Also YES! I would definitely recommend (I already have to my coworkers.) for anyone who loves gourmet burgers. They also have a nice variety to the sandwich, wraps, tacos and flatbread menu. I will just have to take the 40 minute drive again to try something else.

Sis and I were out and about in Forest Lake and stopped in here for lunch. We haven't been to an…read moreApplebee's in years, but know they have a nice atmosphere and good food. We were about to get seated quickly in a booth. There was a big group of high school basketball players and parents near us. It was nice to see all their food come out from the kitchen so I see/smell things before I ordered. Sis decided on the Whiskey Burger and that was a part of the 2 for $20 deal. So we looked over our appetite options. Mozzarella sticks are always a solid choice. I decided on the new menu item, the O-M-Chz burger. Both entrees came with fries. Whiskey burger was a classic cheeseburger with bacon. The Whiskey bbq sauce had chucks of bacon in it too. "Very good". OMC came out pre-cut in half, cut end side down, sitting in a sizzling melted cheese sauce. And on a hot plate similar to fajitas. I thought delicious. And I would call it a open faced Juicy Lucy. It came with a hot honey mustard sauce. I am glad I asked for it on the side. It would have been too much flavor if on the burger. Overall, a successful visit for lunch. Staff was friendly and checked on us the right amount of times.

Food was as expected, service was a pleasant surprise. Our waitstaff, Becky, was beyond awesome…read more I really have not experienced this level of impressive hospitality in years. I spent my 20's as a server at an Applebees and am not easily impressed. Applebees is not a usual choice, but Becky may have changed my attitude. Well done. Becky is a gem.
