    Great location and feel for a vacation restaurant but food quality has suffered past few years. Could use an overhaul in dishes and quality.

    Excellent burgers & pizza - 4 stars!…read more FYI, it's called "Riley's Cannibal Junction", NOT "Riley's Fine Food & Drink". Don't judge a book by its cover. That's the first thing I have to say about this hole-in-the-wall bar & restaurant. When you find them, it feels like the middle of nowhere because there are no houses, cabins, or other businesses in sight. This is a totally casual, no-frills place with a hunting and fishing cabin type of vibe. Come as you are. Are you still wearing your hunting camo or your snowmobile suit? No problem. The burgers, pizzas, and soups are very good. The all-beef patties are the real deal. No soybean additives here. The owner makes an extra effort to get a higher grade ground beef. You can definitely taste the difference. The staff is very friendly and unpretentious. And the prices are remarkably reasonable (see photo). If you're interested in the history, they have a summary on the back of the menu and on the Facebook page. It all goes back to the 1950s and an eccentric husband & wife named Chester & Violet Guiles. The local kids started calling Chester "Cannibal Guiles". Once a week they'd go to Deer River to buy groceries in a horse drawn buckboard. One final note: I read a silly previous review accusing this place of being "disgustingly racist". I saw no evidence of racism whatsoever. In fact, there was a Native American gentleman cooking on the day I visited. I complimented him on the burgers and we had a nice chat. He's a nice dude. I don't know what kind of personal beef was going on at some point in the past, but this review is pretty bad...the worst type of ignorant, woke, race baiting & trolling with no evidence at all. Don't like 'em? Don't go there. This stupid review should really be removed or sidelined by Yelp. Anyway, enough time wasted on that topic... Stop by if you're in the area. Grab a brew and some grub. Thumbs up! -Maxx

    SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE We drove more than an hour to eat at…read morePub 33. We waited more than 20 minutes for service. During our wait, no Acknowledgement from the server, no a hi, be right with you, nothing. The patrons next to us brought it to the servers attention that we were waiting for service. The server finally brought us menus. The server looked at me and said, "if you want to be that way..." then walked away. It was not very busy. Poor customer service, poorly trained staff. I won't be back.

What we liked: - Seating: we were seated swiftly and were able to sit at a booth like we prefer - Server: A server came over to use quickly, took our drink order, returned with them promptly and took our dinner order - Food: It was great! See below Food - what we ordered and how we liked it: - We started with a bowl of Wild Rice Soup. Oh man, possibly the best I've ever had. And it was served piping hot. - Open Face Hot Beef Sandwich - really good. Served with mashed potatoes and gravy with a side of green beans. The beans were still crunchy. I only at 3 of them. - Prime Rib Sandwich - also real tasty. Served with aus jus. We ordered the Waffle Fries as the side and they were very good. We really enjoyed the food at Pub 33 and we'll be back.

Whether you get their Crispy chicken, or Falafel pita, Chicken Wings or chips & dips ...YUM! If you appreciate quality food, genuinely great service, and amazing drinks that are made exactly the way they're supposed to taste, do yourself a favor and go here! Everything feels elevated, fresh, and thoughtfully done, while still having that welcoming small-town feel. Once you discover Good Life Cafe, you honestly won't want to go anywhere else in town. I call it my little slice of heaven in Park Rapids -- and it deserves so much more attention! An absolute must-visit.

Our waiter, Mitch, made sure we didn't want for anything the entire time. We started with the chips & dips. The smoked Gouda cheese dip and guac were memorable--the chips and salsa were not. The BLT with thick cut peppered bacon was scrumptious, but the chips were blegh. I had the beet and basil salad and all I can say is I was looking forward to the goat cheese but because the lettuce wasn't torn/cut enough, you tussled with it on top (and that was after hacking through the beets) while you eventually discovered they rubbed the goat cheese on the bottom of the plate like a dirty little secret. The music, booths/tables, and ambiance were great, so we'd probably give them another try.
