My favourite meal I've had here so far was the onion smash burger with chips ! ( homemade chips !! ) so good !! It's a great food , great service and great ambience all around !! O

She told me it was shaved. I took a few bites and it was dry and not very flavorful it was then that I noticed the meat was chopped and not shaved as she originally said. I would not have ordered if I knew it was chopped. For the very reason that chopped is usually dry and bland. I brought it to her attention and she said "well 99% of the time it's served shaved. Guess I had the misfortune of being the 1%. Not happy about it

It was closer to lunchtime so I got the wild rice meatloaf sandwich with the darkest of gravies. Garlic mashed which I was assured wasn't too garlicky. I appreciated that.

I brought home a loaf of cranberry wild rice bread, cause where else would I find it? Also a tiny bottle of maple syrup. The whole pies were eye catching. Can't wait to try breakfast there. I found out they brew their own coffee.

The easy access to/from the freeway makes it easier. Worth every effort to stop.

Needed a spot to eat breakfast on our way home from the…read moreNorth Shore and we landed on this place. We rolled up and we're a little weary, but we couldn't have picked a better spot. There are about a dozen tables inside, along with a handful of stools to sit at the breakfast counter. To our surprise it was busy, but we were able to seat ourselves right away. They have a variety of classic breakfast options as well as daily specials. You can also place orders for pick up! The bacon was a little undercooked for my preference and the sausage is pre made, but everything else was outstanding. The pancakes are OUT OF THIS WORLD. The hash browns were perfectly golden and they had a variety of breads to choose from- including muffin toast which is a close second to sourdough. You gotta check this place out if you're in the area or passing by!

On a Saturday night the place was pretty empty but it looked nice so we gave it a try. We ordered…read morean appetizer of nachos and told the server we wanted it before the rest of our food. It came like warm at the same time our entrees were brought out. My guess is it was sitting waiting for a long time. Our server who had no other tables chose to wrap silverware instead of bringing us our food in a timely manner. The fish I got was lightly breaded but way over cooked and the breading was partially burnt. The "award winning" ribs were not very good. Could have got better ribs at Applebee's. Bill came to $76! Not worth it at all. Our server never asked how our food was, never refilled our drinks but was instead chatting with another server. When I complained to the lead server (possibly manager/owner) she thanked us for letting us know but never offered to discount any of the food items. Most restaurants would have at least given us the nachos for free. I therefore made it clear we will never return. There are other restaurants in the area with fae better food and service. Go elsewhere.

This is an easy one…read more What would be your reaction if you were seated with guests and a kitchen(?) employee, in clear earshot of the table, told a server at 8:35 PM, "Food is still going out of the kitchen and I'm f____ing sick of this s___." This is the same place where the server brought out cocktail sauce instead of salsa and didn't understand why my friend didn't want it on her quesadilla. And the same server dropped the food from the wrong side and walked away (don't worry...we sorted it out). Maybe she was interested in some training? Or maybe she was looking for someone who knew how to connect with the joint's "free internet?" That was another mystery. The fettuccine alfredo was a sloppy plate of noodles swimming in white sauce and butter. (See photo) And yes, that's rock hard bread, not a giant hot dog! The sole positive during our dinner was another personable very server (this is her 2nd job...also works for the State?) who spotted the lack of our server's training, skills or ability to communicate. Maybe she can get a manager to spend some time with a staff who spews profanity around guests or has no idea how to wait on tables (or where the salsa is hiding). Nobody else seems to be paying attention. I always prefer patronizing independently owned/operated restaurants but this one was an obvious failure on this occasion. Stay clear unless you're bowling. That's gotta be better...just avoid anything from the kitchen.

Nothing wrong with the customer service it was the fact that some people don't have time in there day to wait an hour for food and should be informed this some how before waiting especially since that's how fast food should go. I think close to an hour at any drive through is unacceptable and food should be comp or discounts or something for the inconvenience.

The first few bites, I wasn't impressed but after a while I think I learned to appreciate it. The subtle firmness of the wild rice husk adds a nice balance to the creamy bass. I'd recommend sausage over chicken if you're choosing one (we did both). I actually preferred the Sourhwestern pizza for its flavor and spice. It was a stark contrast from the wild rice pizza. Another surprise- thought it was a take out place but they have seating with service in the front and a more secluded private space in the back. Also have a few canned beers available. Nice little find in Moose Lake!

Without question, the worst dining experience I've had in at least 3 years…read more I should have known better and turned back to the car when arriving at the main entrance only to find the bartender smoking and not acknowledging our arrival in any way...no hello, welcome or even a simple smile. Obviously neither a well- seasoned, trained or supervised hospitality staff member. But he was a sign of what was to come. Our smiling server arrived quickly and took our drink orders...things were looking up! I asked about the day's specials and she advised the soup of the day and crispy chicken breast sandwich. My buddy ordered the soup and I went for the chicken. Our order arrived promptly. Soup was barely warm and the chicken breast sandwich had become a spicy, pre-formed/pressed, breaded patty. Nothing close to what she had described. (See photo) I don't like spicy food or chicken patties and would not have ordered the sandwich if the description would have been anything close to what was served. I upgraded to tots...received cole slaw. I don't like cole slaw. We were able to fight off the gnats/small flies that were much more interested in our food than we were but my buddy finished his soup...he was starving after a day on the water. We looked for our server but never saw her after seeing her filling "to-go" boxes for whom we assumed were other guests...wrong again! Finally after more than 10 minutes the bartender asked if we needed anything and we answered "our check." It was then we were told our server had gone home. She had obviously been filling the "to-go" containers for people (or raccoons?) at home. The Sandbar is an interesting setting but it's noisy and certainly DOES NOT offer the "spectacular lake views" they promote. It features 7 TVs but all but one were frozen during the time we were there. They tag guests with a 2.9% card fee and the music from the kitchen was almost as loud as that in the dining area. There's more (like filthy cooks visiting the bar area for beverages) but who even cares. Unfortunately, it's one of a very small number of restaurants in the Moose Lake area but after our experience at Parker's, I'd try any of them. My recommendation to other Yelpers is to do the same until this place takes service, training and some level of supervision seriously.
