    JJ's birdsnest on Sat around noon

    Food was fast and good. Stopped in as we were driving across the state. Clean and open atmosphere. Come on in and enjoy the food.

    The tap selection is decent and I just lie the people very friendly

    Great place for a nice mom and pops old school feel to it I like the atmosphere music food tvs very nicely done

    Family fans!!

    We were 1st timers to watch the Sunday Ice Races!! We arrived at 10:00 A.M. races start at 11:30. Our blonde bartender woman was very pleasant and accommodating!! She helped us move 2 tables together so we could see outside onto Borden Lake!! The Bloody Marys were tasty! Good selection of tap beer. Food was really tasty and reasonably priced!! It was much warmer inside and there are "real " toilets!!

    Razz Melt with Onion Rings - so yummy!!

    Great food and wonderful service. Small town bar atmosphere. Nice to see locally owned businesses doing well.

    Difficult to get to because of road construction but so worth it. We are not first timers but…read morewondered if we wanted to park outside of town and walk in. Knowing what we know, we walked in!! They have a great senior member. I had a 2 egg senior omelette and my husband ordered a Denver omelette off the regular menu. Both were delicious. I would say run don't walk but I don't want you to hurt yourself before experiencing "It's a Keeper". And for a bonus, the renovation looks great and the staff is top notch. Go on now, giv'm a try. You won't regret it.

    Very none professional place . Been there twice first time when they shortly open very unorganized…read more Eat the second time with two people waitress only was going to take the other person's order and walk away. And then I told her that I was ready to order which gave me a look like I ain't got time for this. I asked her what kind of Pop they had she's naming they had coffee hot tea and iced tea I had to ask again what brand of Pop do you have she rolled her eyes at me then we got our food I ordered a hot roast beef sandwich the gravy was too salty. The potatoes were so lumpy you could hardly eat it. During while we ate she came back as the other person if they needed a refill of their coffee and start walking away and I had to ask her I would like a refill on my pop. Halfway through eating she asked the other person if it was okay if she vacuumed in her area without asking me and she started vacuuming her area even though we did not answer her you do not vacuum well somebody is in the restaurant in the area somebody's eating. She never came back once to ask us how the meal was. It's straight too and I will never come back as long as he has restaurant in Garrison

    Hungry? Not sure where to get good food? If that's the case,…read morethen take it from me, a guy like yourself who searched with despair through the limited dive bar and tavern food options in these north woods for anything that would possibly surprise my tastebuds with the sensation of enjoyment. Good? Okay? Mediocre... my search became desperate and the bar even lower the further out I looked from my location until I came across Chick N Rice. What's that? Pictures of food that look appetizing? It must be too good to be true. It must be AI generated. But I am out of options, so I took the long drive... First came the Lemon Coconut Soup. With one bite, years of bad food experiences that created Up North food PTSD came crashing down... next came the Hot Chicken sandwich. Friends. With delight I would like to inform you, Chick N Rice does not disappoint. They do not settle. Made fresh to order. And with decades old family Recipes made the way they did back in Thailand. My only regret is that I don't live in Brainerd, and to enjoy this delish food requires additional trips back. But I kid you not, if the lakes weren't enough, this food makes it worth the consideration! Enjoy!!

    We were looking for comfort food after a long day, and ordered delivery…read more The delivery took about as long as we expected - given high tide on a Saturday night. My friend had 1/4 chicken & 2 sides. The fries would have been good, but the package wasn't sealed and so the fries were cold. I ordered Chick N Rice, and was surprised to get instead 1/2 chicken. It was delicious chicken. I give them that. Wouldn't have minded receiving the white chicken promised on the menu. The food is good. Perhaps better in person?
