Thanks to all at Irish Pub for being neighborly to a new comer!

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.

Yum yum yum! Always…read morelove stopping at a Zorbaz when at the cabin, the cross lake version is my FAVORITE! With a variety of seating options, games, food, and drinks, Zorbaz always delivers. I love how there's even a variety of vegetarian and gluten free options. Prices are soooo good, most meals under $10! I tried the Zorbaz Drekker sour and it was SO good! But they have like 20+ different taps, so a variety of options to try! Love the self-service and always a friendly staff! Would recommend to anyone who needs to get a true minnesotan feel of a resturant!

A little known fact about me is that I lived in the Land of 10,000 Lakes for some of my adult life…read more Northern Minnesota to be exact. It didn't take long for me to crave some of the flavors of Tex Mex that was so abundant back in Texas where I lived. My friends suggested I give Zorbaz a chance and it is still a place I like to visit when I go back. What they are known for here is Mexican food and pizza. Weird combo, but it hits the spot. You can get the best of both worlds if you order the Mexican pizza which is basically a taco salad on a pizza. It is one of my go to items here. They do put alot of focus on the Mexican food side of the menu with items you would expect like quesadillas, burritos, tacos, etc. Is it authentic or close to what I get back home? Nah. It's still tasty food and gets the job done. They also have a very impressive tap beer selection with beers from all over. When in MN, I will always go with a Michelob Golden though! They have locations throughout MN but I've only been to the location on Cross Lake. I'll continue coming back if in the area.

This is one of the best golf experiences in the Brainerd lakes area. Everything from the course to…read moreclubhouse to the staff is very well run. The course is in excellent shape. Lots of trees, to be sure, but still forgiving enough for the average player. Greens are fast and challenging. The clubhouse and staff are outstanding. You can order food after 9, and they drive it out to you on the course. Oh, and the breakfast is excellent! Highly recommend.

I visited Maddens for two nights for the MGA conference at the end of July. I stayed in the Voyager…read morerooms, they were amazing! Very clean, king bed, updated bathroom, back porch, and a kitchenette with a mini fridge, microwave, and sink. We walked to explore around the different areas of Maddens, and the grounds are beautiful! There are tons of activities including a pool, fitness center, tennis courts, croquet, paddle boarding, ice cream shop, gift shop, golf courses etc. The staff working at all of these locations were friendly, accommodating, and helpful. We golfed The Classic, which was awesome as well. Maddens also offers a few different restaurants which have great food. I came here on a work trip so I can't speak to the price/cost of the stay, but I do think this place has a ton to offer for a wide range of ages.

It's a very no-frills vibe as others have mentioned. Their food is so good (I am addicted to their beer battered fries!), the service is always prompt and friendly, and their prices are super-reasonable. This place always seems to be hopping with locals and for good reason. I need to branch out and try a few other things on their menu, but my current faves have been the grown-up grilled cheese and their meatball sub!
