    Waterfront Bar & Supper Club - Half chicken

    We visited Waterfront Bar and Supper Club for dinner when we were on Clearwater Lake and enjoyed…read morethe nice water views, which made for a relaxing setting. Service was on the slower side, though our waitress was friendly and pleasant throughout our visit. The food was very average overall. The walleye platter was disappointing, as there were quite a few bones in the filet. The half chicken, however, was good and probably the best item at our table. Overall, it's a nice spot for the view and a casual meal, but the food and service were just okay and not necessarily worth going out of your way for.

    The wife and I recently bought a camper trailer on a plot of land at the Clearwater Forest Resort…read morein South Haven, Minnesota to be closer to my wife's family when we go visit. It's a great campground/permanent place to stay with great neighbors, a large lake, and plenty of things to do, and to go relax. My wife's father in law is having an upcoming birthday, and we bought the extended family dinner at the local Waterfront restaurant. This place is always packed and is open for dinner only except on Fridays and weekends I believe. When we arrived at about 4:30 pm, we were seated immediately and there were a total of six of us. Two children, and four adults. We all ordered apps, mains, and drinks. The wife and I ordered a martini on the rocks, as in a lowball glass, filled with ice, and vodka. Nothing else. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Sure enough, a stacked glass, ice and vodka. I think I caught the waiter winking at my wife when he dropped off her drink... Anyway, the apps were Bavarian pretzels and cheese curds. Sounds simple enough, but they were perfectly fried, and the pretzels were so hot no one could touch them for about 20 minutes. They had a super crisp outer brown crust, and were pipping hot and tender on the inside. They were served with a nice cheese sauce on the side. Get these. The cheese curds looked very good as well with a nice flaky crust, and served with a side of marinara sauce. Unfortunately, the kids shoved these into their respective face holes so fast I didn't get to try them. Looked good though. The mains were pasta and a hamburger for the kids, and the adults got a steak filet, a bowl of chili, beer battered jumbo tiger prawns, and I tried the beer battered Canadian walleye, broiled tiger prawns, and broiled scallops. The mains came with a nice side salad with fresh peas. The salad was pretty run of the mill, but the peas were a nice sweet touch. The potatoes au gratin were very good as well. One of the better sides. Again, these came so hot that it came with two ceramic dishes stacked on top of each other. I would recommend the fried beer battered tiger shrimp. They were huge, and looked like small lobster tails. Perfectly fried and the shrimp was moist on the inside. The walleye was pretty good as well. The pricing of the food was pretty decent as well. With drinks, apps, mains, and 20% tip, the total came to $275.00 for the six of us. A bit spendy? I thought it was a decent price to pay for a very good dinner for a special occasion. Well worth it, and I will definitely be back.

    Went to Thayer on a Friday night, it wasn't terribly busy. Upon arrival, I was very bummed it was…read moreraining because the patio seating looked lovely. We sat inside and the decor was dated and a dingy. There was also food smeared on the wall near our table, and the tablecloths were noticeably sticky. The drinks were decent. I ordered an Irish coffee, which was well-made and enjoyable. Things went downhill once we ordered food. I asked our waitress for a recommendation between the walleye and the salmon. She said, "Well, I'm partial to fish so I would say the walleye." I did order the walleye but the dish came out cold and lacked flavor. To top it off, it was served on a plastic, fish-shaped plate--not what you'd expect for a $22 entrée. My husband ordered the steak and shrimp with mashed potatoes. When his meal arrived, the potatoes were missing. He let the waitress know, but after waiting 15 minutes with no sign of them, he asked to cancel the side. Even after our entire party had finished eating, the waitress didn't come back for another 15 minutes. We asked for the check, and still had to wait another 10 minutes before she returned--without the bill. Overall, the service was slow and inattentive, and the food was mediocre at best. While the drinks were okay, it wasn't nearly enough to make up for the rest of the experience. For the price, we definitely expected better. We will not be returning.
