Delicious!!! The firecracker burger was perfect; great grill and smoke flavor with lovely zingy moments from the jalapeños, pepper Jack cheese and sriracha sauce!

Pulled pork grilled cheese was excellent. Onion rings were great. Nice old-time Viking pictures: Tarkenton, Tingelhoff, Marshall, etc.

quaint little place of the lake to grab a quick cocktail or something to eat..dress code come as you are! First time here being so close to our cabin thought I would finally wander in to give it a try. The on tap beer selection was limited to a few very fine picks of some local brewery beer and of course the usuals.The food was good I had a California burger and husband had the grilled cheese and pulled pork sandwich..I really need to go back and try some of the other menu items..The food was a little expensive I paid 14$ for a brg and fry about the same price for my husband’s meal..Tom the owner and cook was a friendly guy along with his wait staff. The food was good the lemon shanty from Jack Pine was amazing go ahead give it a try if anything else you will meet new friends!

The staff here if very friendly as the reviews say. The burgers were good. I wouldn’t rave quiet as much as the other reviews. For the price you should have fresh not pre made frozen patties. I had a rueben it’s kinda my thing any place we’ve never been I like to try it. This was one of my least favorites. Especially for 14 plus dollars I was expecting a little more.

The atmosphere is not that great, but that’s just what that type of place is supposed to look like. Because it it doesn’t matter what it looks like, the food is awesome and the best burgers ever, and the barbecue ribs OMG
