I hate to rate (whoa, rhyme!) a place solely based on a singular visit, however I do think this…read moreoccasion is appropriate. Scenario- weekday visit- two first time guests. Walked in and was awkwardly greeted by locals (turning around away from their usual bar seats) staring at me deliberately as I entered like that of outlaws in a western film observing an outsider. (Maybe I'm just that hot? Haha! No way) Anyway, the uncomfortable awkwardness was instantly wiped away by our adorable server. She promptly greatest us kindly, in her northern plaid attire, fair complexion and strawberry blonde hair. She kept very good care of us throughout our visit, but my one complaint is- she never offered a drink menu to us. In a bar that's a bit strange. Ever been the sole sober table in a bar? Unfortunately I have many, many times. In bar standards the food was good, and for the price I would recommend.

We went to Caddy's to see Corey Medina and the Brothers play. It's a place we hadn't been before…read morebut we found it inviting and VERY well run. The bartender Gordon will fix you up a nice drink - and he'll be all kinds of patient as you ask him what all they have when it's your first visit... :D And Sam will cook you up some GOOD food - we had the chili cheese fries and they were outstanding. They make homemade fresh cut fries - LOVED THEM. Plus I hear she runs a lunch special every day that's a good deal. That night they were pitching Ojibwe Tacos - a taco on fry bread - but since I'm GF... The locals were friendly as I struck up a conversation with Karen at the bar while we were ordering drinks. She informed me that a friend of hers is GF and drinks Much Ultra. That's a new one for me. And the place is great for bands. They have a huge dance floor and great sound. Corey and the boys did a fine set - though it didn't start until 10 so us old folks had to leave before it was through. But here's the best part. While they were setting up, the house lights were on. Dan and I were working on some paperwork and chatting as we'd just come from a Grant Writing Workshop at the Leech Lake Tribal College next door. Well, Chris, the bar manager, came over to let us know they'd be turning down the lights for the show as they were getting close to show time. What a NICE TOUCH!! So thoughtful. She's fantastic. They have a variety of groups that perform here. Chris says the Highway 71 band is great and features a set with "Elvis" that is a real hoot. You should get out and give them a try. They re-opened late last year under new ownership and it looks like this is going to be a good run. Good drinks, good food, good entertainment. A fun time for all. Oh, this is a smoking bar. We sat up by the stage and I'm usually pretty sensitive to smoke and had no real issues. On a full house night, it might get overwhelming if you are real sensitive. BUT... It was nice to note that there is no smoking during the lunch hour! These guys are doing it right. Check them out. You can find them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CaddysCassLake/

The crust was really good. We had both regular and thin crust. The amount of cheese on each pizza was out of this world Our server took our orders quickly. The pizzas took a little time to come out but it was worth it. The inside was busy but not crowded. There is a dog friendly patio but it was cool out so we didn't sit there. Parking was no problem because the downtown had already rolled up their sidewalks (ha ha). Over the years we haven't had very good luck with places to eat in walker. We will be back to Bensons to try some of their fare. Try it!

Omg! We came in hungry and my husband and I couldn't decide on what size pizza to order. There are…read moresizes displayed on the wall and they honestly look like small, medium, and large. We can typically split a large (4 slices each) when hungry and the price point wasn't too bad for a lake town. Welllll the 18-inch was giant and we only ate half- be warned that the 14 inch was perfect for 2 hungry people, and the 18 inch would definitely feed 4 at least! Pros: pizza was pretty fast and yummy (especially after a day at the lake and driving up north), service was friendly, the boat table we sat at was neat. Cons: it took a while to be seated due to some confusion/ some parties waiting for their checks, it was very hot in the restaurant, bathrooms were pretty dirty (hair in the sink, trash overflowing, and no paper towel), and the pizza flavor was just meh. We ordered a pizza with pineapple, jalapeño, and buffalo chicken but the pineapple tasted canned and the chicken wasn't saucy and flavored. It hit the spot but wasn't anything to write home about. Would have been better with a drizzle of ranch or barbecue.
