Ate with friends who had never been to lonesome pine and we had edemame, veggie pizza, salmon, Brussel sprouts and chowder and wild rice soup. And I can't forget the prime rib grilled cheese and cheesy potatoes. New items. Best was sandwich and potatoes. Great service too. Love the vibe in any season. Great with kids or groups. Easy to hang in summer and wait for a table. Bathrooms good. A little chilly in winter but no biggie.

On a recent visit to Crosby, I was lucky enough to find the Spalding Bar & Lounge. This place is a…read moregem. A true "top tier" dive bar. With wonderful bartenders, an occasional pig roast, and off-sale liquor available on site, one would be hard pressed to present a better alternative for Crosby night life. My only warning: be aware of their pull tabs, they are addictive and fun. (Thankfully, all "proceeds" go to the local fire department....)

This place is fantastic! There are a multitude of beers to choose from while they prepare your…read morefood. Food is excellent and very yummy! I highly suggest the ham and cheese balls with moonshine sauce as an appetizer. The fish sandwich is very well proportioned and filling! I really haven't had one bad item, ever! The burgers are fantastic and the Castle Cream Ale is very cold in washing down the last bite. The beef is from the local meat market so if you need some good cuts of meat for the lake house/campsite/etc. be sure to stop by Thielen's Meats one block north! The wraps kick butt! Spend a day on the lake, then head to Bootlegger's for a great meal and a cold brew. Don't forget to buy a t-shirt! They are great conversation starters when you leave the wilds of Minnesota and return to the grind of the real world!

I really wanted to like this spot as I have history at Rutgers resort. But on a holiday weekend…read morethey didn't stand a chance. New kitchen staff doesn't make up for 30 minutes for overpriced ho hum wings and then a messed up order. We liked the burger and the walleye sandwich but live music every saturday night where somehow a woman got up to do karaoke that was so awful we all laughed. I will attempt again this summer and sit on the patio or go to white oak grill off the golf course. Server tried but should have comped us something, even the tot up charge he said wouldn't happen did.

Even Lonesome Pine serves a glass of wine for only $8.00. Haven't had their food yet this year so can't rate it, but have enjoyed it in the past! Also, Bear Pine does have a beautiful Bay Lake view going for it:) Rating of 2 stars is based only on the Very expensive wine. Maybe for us poorer folks you could offer a nice Bota Box option for a lot less $$$!

Had a light lunch here a few days ago and enjoyed it enough to come back for the recommended Sunday…read morebreakfast. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. Four of us in the party, two meals were acceptable the other two , not so much. We were told that the corned beef was homemade but what we got was canned. There was no option for the eggs which arrived over cooked and with broken yolks. The side orders of sausage were burned into unrecognizable lumps. We did mention the failure but got only an explanation that the regular cook was called away. Might try it again to allow for a "bad day" but then again.......

We had stopped at a local bar in town for a late lunch, but their kitchen wasn't open until…read moreevening. The gal working the bar suggested this eatery, just a few miles outside of town. It felt like it was kind of in the middle of nowhere on the side of the highway, but we are glad we stopped. They had a big menu with lots of options, from appetizers to full meals to various desserts. We chose onion rings and the broasted half-chicken, with fries, basket to share. The onion rings were hot and crispy and we got a huge portion, more than we could eat! The chicken was moist and flavorful, with a crispy coating. The fries were pretty standard. Again, more food than the two of us could eat. Leftovers are always good though! They weren't busy in the middle of the afternoon, and we had great service. They were friendly and attentive.
