If you're by yourself or with a friend, you can sit at this wrap around table that fills most of the room. The breakfast menu was large, but with a few modern twists. I ordered the avocado eggs hollaindaise and it was super tasty. Everything on the menu looked good. The staff was super helpful, the coffee good and plentiful. Prices - super reasonable. Highly recommend.

There were a lot of people waiting for their great ice cream, so it took a good five minutes to get our food and the lady at the order booth said they only had ranch dressing for the side salad. "Ohhh-kaaay" I brought the dog and salad over to Thousand Lakes and besides no noticeable celery salt and pickle slices instead of spears, for small town Minnesota, it was a pretty solid Chicago dog. The dog was snappy and full of flavor and the bun was steamed and of course no ketchup. The side salad had fresh lettuce and was very nice. I would have liked a little more dressing options, but maybe the order taker didn't know them all? I think it was about 7 or 8 bucks total for a great dinner to have a couple of craft brews across the street with. Awesome little family ice cream/diner spot and the soft serve ice cream looked really good because they added like 30 different flavors somehow to the vanilla serve. Kind of like the old time slushees you would get at little league baseball games, but with soft serve. Cool loittle Minnesota small town restaurant.

The gift shop has an impressive selection to Christmas decorations, kid stuff cooking items and more. If I don't have any kids while traveling though I stop anyway for the gift shop/bakery/frozen section!

Everyone we talked to was really friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. It was right after they opened on a weekday so they weren't too busy. The taproom is fashioned like a viking longhouse and the layout is great for big get-togethers. Not to mention the sprawling campus with gorgeous views. The beer was all pretty solid. Nothing to warrant a trip by itself, but I enjoyed all of them. The Margherita is always my litmus test for a pizza joint and they delivered! The crust was light and airy, really flavorful, and the charring was perfect. The sauce was bright, mozzarella fresh, and the basil (correctly) added after the bake. The pretzel was just as well done. Really fluffy with a crisp crust and just the right amount of chew. Their rotating specialty pizzas all sound amazing so you know next time I'm in the area I'll stop in for a pretzel, pizza, and a few tasters.

I stood there and witnessed this myself! The sunflowers looked like they just took them and shoved them in the vase and put leaves around the sides. Nothing was arranged properly. Absolutely horrible quality and i will be sure to tell my kids to never use them again! Save your money because the florists at this place have no idea on what they're doing!

She is of no help to anyone except throwing out nasty barbs at the customers. The staff at Cub Foods in the self check out are very helpful and always cheerful and have wonderful customer relations skills. Perhaps she needs some customer relations training. Most of the staff at Elden's are pretty helpful. I always say if you work in a customer relations service and you don't like your job, perhaps you should find a different one where you don't have to work with people.

In the heart of Osakis on a adorable lined street you will find this Bakeri. They have a fridge full of lefse and it is a MUST! I bought 7 packages for myself and family and every single one of us agreed it was the best we had ever had. One might argue it rivals the fresh off the griddle lefse we make every christmas. The shop is filled with other Minnesota and Norwegian finds. Anything from sweatshirts to cooking materials there are lots of finds. They have some other bakery items but I didn't purchase them. They also offer lefse to buy that they will butter or fill with other fillings for you if you don't feel up to buying a whole pack.
