So you need to know what you are getting into when you get here. A rural MN bar on one side with a…read moresupper club on the other. Nice menu and as a whole for a rural MN place it is pretty good. Salad bar is definitely a step above the typical place like this that only has iceberg lettuce, croutons, Bac-os, cheese, cherry tomatoes and carrot shavings with french and ranch for dressings. As a whole, a step above the others in its food genre. For that I'll give it 4 stars. But if your arteries are feeling healthy and you want a good old fashioned greasy meat sandwich have I got the 5 star recommendation for you. The ribeye steak sandwich. Might be sacrilegious to put a nice steak on bread, BUT.... Freshly cut and grilled ribeye, toasted bread and lots of butter. Do you need anything more? A good beer to wash it down? Sure. But that's it. I can't get away from this every time we go through here. It is simply fantastic. Again, juicy steak, butter, toasted bread and more butter. Wow. Comes with fries I think. I don't really care what it comes with actually. Probably will contribute to my early death from heart disease. But oh well. Life can't be all salads and smoothies.

Salad bar was adequate but not what it used to be. The cheese steak soup was outstanding. I…read moreshould have just gotten the soup and salad bar but came to try the chicken dinner special. Broasted too long, dust for a crust and dry meat with little to no seasoning. Three people in our group got it and nobody ate a second piece. Mashed potatoes were instant, which was a let down because how hard is it to boil a potato? Roll on the plate was nice to see but there was no butter. Walleye bites was the other order and they were overcooked, dry and bland. Color of the batter gave away the age of the oil; dark and old. Service was so so, nobody asked how the food was and when paying the bill there was no checking to see how the meal was or a thanks, see you next time etc. Heard good things about the chicken, thought we'd try it, glad we did because I don't have to go for the Friday fish fry now. Sorry but I cannot see trying this again.

For what it is pricing feels pretty reasonable, and it's good to support local businesses. Seriously, this is such a cool, unique, and memorable place. I was really impressed with the BlackBerry shake specifically. I know they're known for it, and for good reason. Very creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness and fruity-ness. Also a good consistency where it is drink-able through a straw, but also enjoyable with a spoon. The burger was also very juicy, had a nice bun, and paired well with their fries and cheese curds. I would definitely recommend stopping at Gordy's if you're up north!

Instead I got a green olive swiss mushroom burger with fries. They get an extra star for the creativity of adding green olives, but they will not serve pink and they used a regular grocery store white hamburger bun. The burger was well done and on the medium size. They could make the burger pop if they used brioche or other nicer bun, used more meat, and went pink. A disappointing 3 stars for mucking up what could be a home run. Maybe a 4 would be more fair given the creativity of the green olives. I almost did not order the fries. OMG. BEST EVER FRIES ON THE PLANET. It turned out the bartender and server, Sharon, is the owner. She said she changed the recipe a year ago. Well, she did right. I frankly would go back just for the fries: big, perfect crunch, great color and flavor, and a huge portion. See photo. I thought about taking an order of the fries home to see if I could figure out how to make these at home. I will have to go back. Enthusiastic 5 stars for the fries. Another surprise was having two IPAs on tap. I got two of the Alaskan Brewing Company IPAs, and even posted a photo of it on Instagram of it. First off, we were out in the middle of no-where, and they have TWO IPAs on tap. Every other bar we went to did not have any on tap, and few even had bottles. I asked Sharon how in the world an Alaskan IPA wound up tjere. She said she asked her distributor for a really good IPA. She got it. A few 5 stars here: for being creative with two IPAs in the middle of no-where, for taste, bar service. Service. Sharon is very attentive and nice. I appreciated her candor about why I could not order a pink burger (the cook), the beer story, and her comical interaction with the two knuckleheads I was with who blew all their Pulltab winnings, plus about $60. 5 stars. Loved the decor, including a big red half of a canoe for Leinenkugels beer, and a smaller inflatable one. I guess it would be typical for an area bar. So this is not a 5 star fancy schmancy formal dining establishment. It is, however, a diamond in the rough for that area. 5 stars for what I wrote about, and hopefully the burgers will improve. This is the kind of place Yelp was built for: to direct people like me to high quality mom and pop businesses. I hope the locals appreciate what they have.
