371 Diner feels like Minnesota's version of a 5 & Diner from Phoenix. The retro diner setup had us expecting classic oldies, maybe a jukebox, and a little more nostalgia, but that part never quite showed up. The customer service was genuinely great and almost earned this place a fourth star. Unfortunately, the food was just average across the board. Nothing bad, just nothing memorable enough to bring us back for a second visit. If you're already in the area and craving diner food, it'll do the trick. Just don't expect a destination dining experience. read more

Great food, portions and service! Other restaurants should follow their business model. Obviously a well managed business, as the staff seems to like what they do. read more

We had great service and delicious breakfasts with big portions. Fun atmosphere (who's polishing all that chrome? Haha)

Don't let the long line fool you. Things move fast. Most people only had 15 minute wait. Staff is friendly. Food is tasty and arrives quickly. This is one of the few restaurants near Madden's that serve a great breakfast. Should give it a try! read more

Delicious food, friendly and kind server and a charming setting. What more could we ask for? I'm glad my husband held out for driving farther for breakfast while we were up here for the weekend at Breezy Point. He remembered eating here on an earlier trip. The pancakes were so good, I would have been happy to just eat them. Our omelets were generously sized and well-filled, not to mention very tasty. Their prices are really reasonable, too. We loved the diner atmosphere. read more

We stopped by for breakfast. The service was fine. The place had a retro vibe from the 50's.. My breakfast was pretty good. I will be going back when we are in the area.. read more

On a weekend trip to Nisswa we stopped at this Diner for an early dinner. We weren't sure what the resort options would be and wanted to take advantage of the Diner experience of the old school feel, which is rare and unique. We entered and got promptly greeted and seated. I love breakfast food so knew I wanted to indulge in some buttermilk pancakes and a veggie omelet. My partner chose the patty melt. Everything was solid. The food and service were good. We had so much to eat when our waitress offered us dessert I had to pass and ask for to go packages. I definitely wanted a milkshake but I had no room. Maybe next time I'll just get a milkshake and fulfill that craving. read more

Great service, big portions, clean and inviting dining areas. Drawback, in my opinion, not telling you on the menu that the fish basket is Tilapia. Who serves tilapia in a fish basket in Minnesota? Apparently, the 371 Diner. Yuk. read more

I have been eating here for probably at least 15 years. New management and new cooks and servers several years ago we added. The best home cooked food in Baxter, Minnesota. The owner runs a tight. Ship keeps the place clean. The servers are friendly. Very professional they know the menu. The cooks are amazing. I'm very picky of all my omelettes. I usually get a ham and cheese and mushroom omelette. And other restaurants, the ham is cut up so small you can hardly see it, but these omelettes have the bigger slices of ham and the omelettes are huge awesome malts the desserts. The banana split and all the pies are just wonderful. I've looked at a lot of of these reviews from several years back. But I've never had a bad meal here. The portions are very large and the cost is appropriate for the meals. I like the hot turkey or the hot meatloaf is really excellent. Cathy and Adrian are two of the awesome waitresses. Plus there's several more, but I can't remember their names. Every time I go in for breakfast the omelette is just huge. The wonderful variety of pies my favorite is the Forest, which has different kinds of berries in it and the other one is. Blueberry, which is just out of this world. A bunch of us Veterans meet on Thursday morning about 10 or 12 of us and we get free coffee plus we get a discount for being veterans. I can't say enough about this restaurant. It's just wonderful. Great for the family they have color crayons and a paper car that they put together for the kids. The best part is they're open from 6:30 in the morning till 8 PM at night seven days a week. Serve breakfast all day. A few things like maybe oatmeal or a few other things they only serve up until maybe 11 AM but the portions on all the food is just huge. So I do recommend this wonderful restaurant. Donald Saxum. My nickname from the Service is Chow hound so I appreciate good food and this is the best homemade food in Baxter, Minnesota. read more

The clam chowder is excellent. One of Today's specials was the Bruschetta burger on ciabatta. Really good burger!!!! read more

371 Diner - A great Salad to start with! - American Near Me - Baxter, Minnesota

Visiting Brainard from Michigan! The food was amazing. We visited the diner 3 days in a row. Each visit the food and service was great.

100 stars. The Food is the Bomb ! The service is excellent and the restaurant is a nice 60s-70s style restaurant. Love it so much. From burnsville, definitely worth going to the diner. The portion sizes are huge. read more

Been here twice over the last couple years. So this review is long overdue. Our visits were the usual late lunch early dinner while on the road type of deal. So we were here during the not-so-busy time of the day. The service was excellent on both occasions. Staff were friendly and quick. Food about par for the course, for what one can expect at a small town diner. Serving sizes are huge! If rushing through town again and the pangs of hunger strike, we might consider stopping by again. read more

371 Diner - Reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite. - American Near Me - Baxter, Minnesota

Stopped here for lunch after a business trip visit. I'm a sucker for home made soups and pies. I tried the chili and it was really good. It was hearty and tasted like it was well developed. It wasn't too tomatoey such as pastes or sauce. It had a lot of meat and beans it wasn't too oily either. I got a chocolate pie which was good. Fresh and fluffy. The caramel roll was ok. The problem is you gotta eat it all on the first day. Don't let it sit or wait more than that. Share with a friend if you have to. I also got the sandwich of the day which was chicken jalapeño and cheese. If I would have known the jalapeños would have been chopped up like a relish I wouldn't have gotten it. It wasn't my cup of tea. I re gifted the sandwich and it was enjoyed. I was told they would eat it again. I recommend stopping here for some really good chili and friendly service. read more

Best omelette and service in the area! Thanks for the hospitality and hot coffee! See you next time

Amazing experience. Great food that was hot out of the kitchen and the waitress was great. My only compliant not the fault of the Diner is there needs to be a sidewalk down Highway 371 read more

I think the appeal to this place is the 50's decor because the food is not great. As a diner, it's pretty hard to mess up a patty melt yet somehow it was bland, unseasoned and slightly burnt. They microwave your food right in front of you before serving it. Not expecting Gordon Ramsay level food from a diner but would appreciate not watching my meal come directly out of the microwave and onto my table. Overall not a horrible place to eat but not impressive either. read more

371 Diner - Patty melt - American Near Me - Baxter, Minnesota

Saw this on Yelp and it was right by our hotel so we stopped for lunch. This place is so cute and vintage! You don't see many of these around anymore. The decor was fitting and interesting to read. Love all the old car stuff. Our waitress was very nice and helped us decide what to eat which was delicious. Texas burger on sourdough with fries and the kids got cheese burgers. Family of ate for 35 dollars. They gave the kids to go boxes that looked like old cars and trucks which was cute. Overall great diner. read more

The chicken fried steak breakfast was phenomenal! Portion was ginormous and easily made two meals. As a foodie I was very impressed with the flavor and quality! Our server was super chipper and friendly also. Great experience would visit again. read more

I had the Denver skillet with pancakes. Good amount of veg in the skillet. Hash browns and pancakes were cooked perfectly. Cool, retro vibe and good service. I'd go back. Especially for breakfast. read more

Cute diner with roomy seats and a clean, bright, and retro feel. Great service - very friendly wait staff. Food was, unfortunately, just okay. My husband got breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs, toast, hasbrowns and sausage). They were fine. Nothing special. Toast was too dark. I got a shrimp basket. The shrimp and fries were good. Coleslaw was not good. Again not fantastic. Price was a bit high for the quality of the food. read more

Old school diner. We had breakfast mid Sunday AM. We ordered the Denver skillet, bacon, and half biscuits and gravy. Skillet was huge! It came with 2 eggs on top. Hashbrowns not very crispy, but overall good flavor. The biscuits were perfect size and not too doughy. The sauauge gravy was a little light on the sausage but had good flavor. Bacon was on the thicker side and fairly crisp. We had no wait and the waitress was pleasant and atttentive. Overall solid choice for breakfast. read more

371 Diner - Huge skillets. Enough to share. - American Near Me - Baxter, Minnesota

This place caught my eye from the outside with its old school look and the interior was decorated to match. We were seated immediately and the drink order was taken fast. My partner ordered an omelet and I ordered French toast, which was good but the omelet was kinda blah. Lacking flavor and what not. The staff was friendly and I would go back. read more

371 Diner - American Near Me - Baxter, Minnesota

Slooooooowww service (Sunday @ 1115) and not much semblance of knowing or caring how to run an efficient operation. Friendly but missing intentionality. 45 mins at counter for food (breakfast skillet and an omelette) to arrive, kept saying it's coming. Fantastic at not making eye contact. Save yourself the kitschy nostalgia if you're hungry and/or need your order to come as requested. read more

I stopped at this little diner while. Owing back from my cabin and was pretty impressed with how clean and friendly the staff was and how tasty the food was as well. Best part was the lemon meringue pie... with a giggle.. Delicious! read more

Good food, friendly staff. Burgers are hand made, done on a flattop grill with great flavor. Chili is good, and filling. Roast beef sandwich is generous, with good flavor. Pies, cheesecake, other temptations for dessert, and they have malts in a string of flavors. Even when they're slammed, like right after the Big Reopen, staff is helpful and friendly, and will explain what the soup of the day is made of. And, when you get the crispy chicken sandwich, it arrives hot, crispy, and tastes like chicken. Chef also makes a wonderful chicken/ham/bacon lettuce sandwich thing I forget the name of but it was terrific. Also had a salad, which was huge. Definitely going back. read more

371 Diner - Strawberry malt! - American Near Me - Baxter, Minnesota

Had a great experience. Even though they are obviously short staffed my classic club sandwich arrived super fast, was delicious and the service was very friendly. The monthly special Pina Colada shake was the best treat I have had in a while and they were decorating for Valentine's Day. Nice to see small town charm and good customer service still exists. read more

Had lunch there one afternoon with my kids before catching a movie in Baxter. The restaurant was clean and inviting... Felt like you were in Grease, the movie. Service was good and the malts were good but a bit on the expensive side. I had The basic cheeseburger... I believe they called it the Studebaker. It was good but nothing special. One of my kids had a fish sandwich and the other had the chicken strips... Both thought their meals were only so-so. read more

This is the real deal...what Snuffy's Malt Shop in the Twin Cities only dreams of being. It's an old school diner car on the outside and filled with yummy burgers, breakfasts and malts on the inside. OH, THE MALTS! Heath Bar is the year-round fave, but when fall rolls around, it is ALL about the Pumpkin Pie Malt. Sometimes I want to live in Brainerd...sometimes, like when I crave a malt. read more
