We have visited the Brainerd/Nisswa area for decades but only last year did we finally get a place…read moreof our own in Lake Shore (yay!) - so instead of hitting our five usual places that we went to on our one precious week each summer (Rafferty's, Zorbaz, Ernie's, Bar Harbor & Quarterdeck), now that we have more time here in the summer, we are branching out and trying some new places, Lucky's among them, and I'm so glad we are! This place was great - super friendly service, reasonable prices, big portions, AND tasty food! Nothing flashy, but everything we tried was good. We had cheese curds and fried green beans to start, my son got shepherd's pie, and my husband and I both got fish & chips, and we got a little two pack of monster cookies to go for dessert (yum) - we would definitely return here!

We went at 5 pm on a Thursday. There were plenty of seats inside and outside, and we decided on…read moreoutside. Plenty of parking available when we went. Food 5/5: the outside of this place gives dive bar vibes, but the food absolutely wow'd us. We got pretzels and the fried green beans for appetizers, both were very good. It was a cooler summer day, so many of us opted for the comfort food. I got the chicken and it was spiced absolutely perfectly. The rice was done to perfection, the chunks of chicken complimented by the sauce. I would absolutely go back for just that. They have a great menu selection and great kid meal options. Service 5/5: our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She took our order quickly and the food also came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: like I said earlier, this place gives dive bar vibes from the outside. The inside is definitely more elevated. Plenty of room and seating with a great patio for nice days.

Food took a little bit, so I wouldn't go here if I was hangry and they were busier. For drinks, we ordered the Loony Bavarian and loony Lavender Lemonade. Both were fantastic! Husband is a blue moon fan, and he said the Loony Bavarian was even better! Next time he's going to order a crawler of it to take home :). I love that they let you taste things for free- I tried their plain seltzer, to see if I might want to get it in the future, and it was great! For food, we got the pita and spinach/artichoke dip- very good! We also both got the roasted chicken with white sauce and it was amazing! Will definitely be back!

I genuinely loved this place, which makes my recent experience there even more disappointing and…read moredisgusting. During my visit, a bartender who I believe was named Terry openly told us that The Pickle is pro ICE and, even more disturbingly, specifically expressed support for separating mothers from their children. I want to be very clear that I am describing what was said to me by an employee while he was behind the bar representing this establishment. I cannot speak to whether ownership officially shares those views, but I can absolutely speak to how appalled I was hearing them expressed so casually to customers. I do not care where a mother was born, what language she speaks, what her ethnicity is, or what her immigration status may be. I will never support treating human beings as though their families and their suffering matter less because they were born on the other side of a border. There are plenty of bars in this area where I can spend my money without listening to someone behind the bar advocate for separating families. Until The Pickle makes it clear that these statements do not represent its values, I will gladly spend my money elsewhere, and I strongly encouragement anyone who believes basic HUMAN DIGNITY should extend to everyone to do the same.
