Stopped in for dinner and really enjoyed the atmosphere and cleanliness of the restaurant. The chicken in one of our dishes was really chewy and undercooked, but the waitress took the $4 upcharge for the chicken off right away. She apologized multiple times and gave us some caramel corn for the road. Her service made up for any of the food issues.

Good life is awesome! Get the chips and dips appetizer. Like the picture shows you get chips and 3 dips too. Love the cheese sauce and the guacamole is creamy and delicious. I love the burgers here too. The pretzel bun with cream sauce and bacon bits is probably my favorite. Cold drinks and great service every time.

What a wonderful place in downtown Park Rapids MN!! Would highly recommend. We had such a wonderful dinner here. We had a huge group of family and the service was top notch. The atmosphere is perfect and the food amazing. I ordered the walleye tacos and they were delicious. We were not hurried out. What a fun, memorable evening.

Metropolitan elegance in a small town. Stopped for a weekend lunch, upon walking into the restaurant- the set up is impressive. Loved the booths with windows makes eating feel private yet spacious.

We stopped at The Good Life Cafe for lunch and dinner while visiting Park Rapids. We kept coming back because they had the most variety on their menu for common pub/bar foods but added alternative unique selections that were great. Their cocktail and beer/wine menu was also more diverse than what we experienced at other restaurants in the area

My wife had the baked walleye and I had the chicken. Both were delicious, hot, and nicely plated. A solid collection of beers and great atmosphere. Thanks for a perfect night for her birthday.

Burgers were very dry and overcooked, buns were dry, very light on the cheese and sauce. Long wait time for service, maybe short staffed. Positives: Fries were good and the place was clean and good atmosphere.
