The restaurant was spacious, yet cozy inside; we were pleasantly surprised. They had a bar and dining area. My husband tried their broasted chicken and he said it was one of the best he had. I had the salmon with a side of honey glazed brussel sprouts and it was delish! They had a nice selection of beverages and cocktails. Our server was friendly and accommodating. Overall a great dining experience. I would highly recommend this spot!

Our server was very friendly and brought our food out quickly. My kids liked their cheeseburgers. I got the Lumberjack burger which had bacon and pulled pork on it. I got it with pink in the middle and it was really good! The burger was flavorful and juicy. The tater tots were yummy too. Nice and crispy on the outside with a good amount of seasoning. My husband liked his BLT with waffle fries. Our whole lunch came to $51 (we didn't get any alcohol), which feels like a good deal. I'm happy to have one more good place to eat to stop in on our way to and from our cabin.

Full disclosure, I'm going to be subjectively biased in this review because the proprietors and…read moreemployees that work here are among my friends and family. That being said, the place is legitimately a great business within a small town that does not possess many options. First and foremost, these guys lead the way with a really nice beer selection. It does not remain static like many of their competitors' lineups. They often change their taps (something like twenty or more) and take chances with unique flavors. How many bars have a Salted Nut Roll beer? From a food perspective, I can say that while not having tried a ton, that which I have has all been on the better side. Daily specials and HH are also something to expect, with the former often as unique as you might get. And if you're in the mood for a good burger, I would liken Kev's to a Boulder Taphouse, all in ways similar to quality, portion, and creation. At the crux, though, are the staff and owners. They are great people that I consistently choose to surround myself with, hardworking, friendly and fun. It is a young atmosphere within a sports/burger-bar environment. One-hundred percent worth trying if you are new to the area or passing through town.

Why not Hinckley? I…read morewas impressed. There are no mosquitos, just one good ol walkable block where an historic Main Street meets a scenic Hwy 61. Meet city scholars, foodies, and green thumbs. You'll feel right at home whether you golf or not, at Bogey's. Try their ribs on the third Saturday of the month and you won't be disappointed. (Don't worry, you can walk, run, or bike all those calories off on the Willard Munger trail that stretches 70 miles towards Duluth. Highly recommend if you enjoy a good local beer, a great value, walkability, and a friendly owner. Enjoy this new quintessential Main Street USA experience. I would go back and revisit because you can't take it all in, in just one day. Note* This is not like the casino that Hinckley is known for, the hours posted online fir these small local establishments are subject to change.

Oh my gosh, you won't believe how amazing the "lunch" was yesterday! We discovered that they had breakfast all day, so we decided to grab breakfast. And let me tell you, the omelets were absolutely incredible! They were so fluffy and delicious, filled with all the fresh ingredients listed on the menu. The hash browns were also a hit. It was like a little slice of heaven in a cozy cafe in a charming town. It seemed like the whole community came in to dine right after we had arrived. Even though it got very busy, the young lady who served us was so friendly and kept everything running smoothly. Our only downside? We live 50 miles away in the Twin Cities metro. We would go there for breakfast often if we lived closer. But we'll definitely make it a point to stop whenever we're in the area. This place is a hidden gem, and we highly recommend it! Delicious! PS: Their open hours shown online seem to be an error. We stopped in at 1 PM and it was open and active.

We had family visiting from Oklahoma and spent the day in Mille Lacs. We were starving on our way…read moreback to Elk River and decided to stop in at Rough-Cut. The Saturday prime rib special was one of the deciding factors. Within the first few minutes, we learned that they were completely sold out [mind you it was before 7pm]. The two biggest disappointments were service, or lack thereof, and the amount of time it took for our order to be filled. For context, after ordering, we waited over 45 minutes for our food to be served. And when it did come, it was luke warm and not served at the same time. My husband was nearly done with his meal before I received mine. While completely outside the control of Rough-Cut, we sat, very, very hungry listening to some loud mouth drunk talking about how many girls his friend "banged". Mind you....we were sitting on the restaurant side, not the bar side. Just added to an already bad experience. Rough-Cut needs more and higher quality wait staff and a smaller menu that they can actually fill. Timely and of quality. For extra context, the dining room was busy, but we did not wait to sit down and there were open tables the entire time we were there. My recommendation for those traveling along 169 ....keep going. Sorry!
