    Where we live in Northern MN, the restaurants are pretty spread out in this area. When going out to…read moreget a bite to eat, whether it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and wanting to go some place different, we know we will be going for a car ride to one of the nearby small towns or to a resort that serves food. We don't mind the drive as it is beautiful country up here. Also, we will definitely be eating with the locals. So on Mother's Day, we decided to drive to Squaw Lake and eat at The Hill. It is about 30 miles away from our home. We arrived around 7:10pm. When we walked in, no one greeted us, no one was seated at the bar, but there were about 5 tables with customers. We caught the attention of the waitress and asked if we could sit anywhere. After seating ourselves, we waited another 10 minutes to get a couple glasses of water & the menu. One waitress finally had to ask the other waitress to wait on us. She did so with a smile and was friendly. Around 7:30pm, our order was taken. J ordered the Chicken Cesar sandwich with seasoned waffle fries. I ordered a beef taco salad. And then we waited....and waited. Almost an hour later, we got our food. Luckily, J & I were enjoying our conversation before we realized it was taking quite some time for our food to be served. When our food did come out, it was hot, good and we enjoyed it. Then the wait started again to get our check. We finally lost our patience & J had to seek out our waitress to get our check. She must have been back in the kitchen so J talked to the other waitress. By this time there were only 5 of us diners in the restaurant. They had also been patiently waiting for their food. On the other hand, there were about 20 people at the bar now, drinking, and watching the MN Wilds playoff game. I'm not quite sure what the issue was with the service but it was bad. There were about 25 diners in the restaurant with 2 waitresses and they weren't able to handle it. Maybe part of the problem was delays in the kitchen with the cook, maybe short staffed but there was never an explanation given when we asked. It is really unfortunate as our food was good and the restaurant is nice, clean and has a northwoods decor. When we had interaction with the waitresses, they were always very pleasant. Maybe it was an off night, maybe their service is always slow, but if you decide to come here to eat, plan to wait.

    Met family here as a half-way point. Staff was nice, food was pretty good…read more Staff was friendly but somewhat inattentive, especially considering there weren't very many other people even there. Prices were about as expected. Lots of Taxidermy animals here to look at. My boys were fascinated, but some may be bothered by it (I hope not if you are in the middle of nowhere in northern MN, but I mention it)....

    My family stayed at this resort for about a week in June and it was a great experience. We stayed…read morein cabin 3, which allows dogs, and we had a great time! The owners of this resort are very nice and friendly. You can rent out one of their six cabins or a spots for an RV. They have a Lodge right away when you get to the resort where you can check in and out as well as buy beer on tap. They also carry other beverages, ice cream, convince items, and also a variety of other things. They also have free coffee there in the mornings. This resort is right on Leech Lake and has its own private boat ramp attached to their marina. Right by the marina, they also have a wood fired oven available for their guest to use, and you will definitely want to use it. While we stayed here, we used the wood fired oven twice and it was amazing. They also have canoes and kayaks for guests to use, which were very fun. They have a small beach for people and also a small dog beach. A lighthouse is also located by the dog beach area. Overall this was a great resort to stay at for vacation. It had everything we needed and you can't beat the location. Being able to sit in the morning and view the lake is truly great.
