We didn't know if it was seat yourself or if we should wait for a host, there wasn't a sign or anyone to greet you at the front. Our waitress was great, she was able to recommend food & drinks, checked on us multiple times, and was super friendly. Our drinks came quick, but our food took forever. (A table next to us was seated, ordered, ate, paid & left before we got our food). When it finally came, the fries were cold but everything else was warm. For being cold the fries were still yummy, which means they're probably amazing when they're fresh and hot! We had the pulled pork (8/10), sweet potato quesadilla (7/10), garlic parm wings (6/10), and buffalo chicken sandwich (9/10). Overall, I'd come back if I was in Detroit lakes again. The place itself is fun, large strip mall parking lot, extensive bar, lots of high top seating, and decent patio.

I have never had a bad meal here. As a pescatarian/vegetarian, I appreciate the many healthy yet tasty options. The drink menu is well curated. During a recent summer visit, I enjoyed a berry spicy Margarita. I tend to avoid fruit margaritas because they are often too sweet, but this one balanced the fruit and spice well. I would definitely order again. Even though I was the only patron on the patio, the staff was very attentive - refilling water as needed and checking in an appropriate amount. I would recommend this place anytime you're traveling near or through Perham. In fact if only it were in my neighborhood, I'd visit much more often.

Ok, so this is sort of a wild story, but this place definitely to check out…read more If you don't want to read the whole story here is a quick break down: Food: 4.5/5 (get the fries and Pork Porterhouse) Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Now for the story. We came here for my friend's 30th birthday. It was a large group of us. The hostess didn't assume we were coming given that some of my friends had been calling the restaurant asking about pizza. I think from that point on they knew what they were in for. We all settled in and got ready to order drinks. Before we could our wonderful waitress (whose name escapes me now) told us about their large walk in wine selection. I would say about half the table quickly walked into this amazing wine storage unit. It was floor to ceiling of just amazing wine. They were gracious enough to let us try some of the wine. Drinks and wine ordered we all looked over the food choices. I decided on the red snapper because that is one of my favorite seafood dishes, and I really don't like seafood so that is saying a lot. We also ordered some french fries. Do yourself a favor and order the french fries. They were the closest to perfection a french fry has ever come for me. After our appetizer the main course came. This is where the meal could have gone off course. The snapper came out and it was TERRIBLE. Like some of the worst fish I have ever had. I asked my husband to try it because maybe I was crazy and snapper just wasn't what I remembered it being. He took one bite and almost spit it out. Now you are probably wondering why I gave this place 5 stars if the food was bad. Well the waitstaff came to the rescue. My husband quickly flagged down our waitress and told her about how bad the dish was. She apologized and everything was very civil. To make up for it we ordered the Pork Porterhouse, an absolute MUST. The Pork Porterhouse was like piggy nirvana. I've never had something quite like that before, so I don't have the words to describe it. It was pure bliss. Almost everyone else at the table had also ordered it and you could hear the almost orgasmic moans as they ate. As the night went out and the cocktails/wine/beer kept flowing our group devolved into a rowdy fun mess. Throughout it all the hostess and our waitress kept a big smile on their faces and laughed along with us. My friend even got to show them his dollar trick (which involves throwing a dollar into the ceiling) and they laughed at it (instead of being mad like I thought they would). This is a place that recognizes how to have fun, how to serve people, and knows when they made a mistake. Happily looking forward to my next trip. 49/50
