I'm kind of a connoisseur of walleye sandwiches, and the sandwich I had at Knob & Kettle might be…read morethe best ever. The bun was fluffy but with a crisp outside, the fish was light and flaky and not over-fried, and the tartar sauce was made in-house. The fries were perfect, and my fiancé's homemade tomato basil soup was stellar. The service was friendly and speedy, and literally the only thing that wasn't perfect was that the drinking water smelled funny. We tossed it and had a local Bemidji IPA. No regrets

I asked the receptionist if she would recommend the restaurant or the buffet? She said "the restaurant has much better food but it is pricey." We decided on the restaurant, it didn't open until 5pm so we waited 5 mins and it open and we're seated. First off the whole multi grain bread they offer as pre meal was nothing short of great and very tasty. As I am cutting for my upcoming fight I ordered the ceaser salad add grilled chicken. (The grilled chicken added an additional 8$ to the price of my originally 6$ salad.) and the girlfriend ordered the chicken Alfredo. My ceaser salad was great. (Can't think of much to say about a review for a salad.) but the dressing was great and grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. The real buzz was the chicken Alfredo, hands down could have been one of the best Alfredo's I have eaten. The sauce was extremely creamy as well as tasty. The chicken was perfect and just the right amount of added mix veggies that you could tell were cooked fresh. The only reason my score is 4 stars is because the prices were a bit steep. I was pre warned as about that, I just feel at a casino where much $ is spent gambling they should make more reasonable pricing. But to rate the food hands down 5 stars.

Once inside, the servers explain how things work. The food and coffee took pretty long to come out because it was so busy. Everything was decent, a little bland.

The kids both had cheeseburgers and everything was cooked perfect, fresh and seasoned well. (Hence we came back a second time.)

The first visit on this trip we ate outside on the deck. Great weather, great view. We ordered walleye fingers for the table, they were delicious. We also ordered the hummus plate and stuffed dill pickles. The hummus platter was great, especially if you're looking to eat something light to eat. The stuffed dill pickles were good, but not what we expected. On another day we ordered the caprese bites. They were awful. Frozen battered cheese warmed up and placed on top of a thin tomato slice and basil leaf. For entrees both days we ordered a walleye sandwich - good, walleye tacos - good, Black & bleu burger - good, Thai chillie chicken salad was ok. The service could be better. Both days our servers were frazzled, and we had to hear how overwhelmed they were. When asked a simple question earlier about seating, the restaurant manager answered very snappy. The view is great, and the food is ok.

The atmosphere was nice and laid back with the usual north woods decor. Started with the salad bar because I was tempted by the Hungarian mushroom soup. It was rich, creamy and a bit spicy. Loved it! My burger came on a pretzel bun and it was also amazing. Knocking down to 4 stars because my husband said his Reuben was a bit dry. Will come back to try the Philly cheesesteak which was recommended by the locals.
