    This is a Chicken breast sandwich? What do you think? Please don't waste your $'s here.

    Without question, the worst dining experience I've had in at least 3 years. 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.

    Overhead doors up, outdoor seating area as well.

    We eat there often. Always prefer to eat in. Pizza gets cold quickly and just tastes better right…read moreout of the oven.

    This food truck was at our local brewery this weekend and I am in high hopes they invite them back…read moremultiple times this summer because I will certainly eat this pizza again. We ordered the Lumberjack and the Open Range. I have eaten a lot of pizza from many pizza joints and honestly the Lumberjack has one of the most delicious flavors I have ever tasted in terms of pizza. And the Open Range was also very pleasant. They were both very flavorful. And the crust was perfect. Sometimes with the wood fire pizza you get the outside crust crispy and the center crust soggy and that was not the case today. These pizzas were cooked perfectly. The pizzas are more of a personal pizza or a snack pizza. We got two for 2 adults and to small children and it was a perfect light lunch for our family. Our wait was times 30-40 minutes which I didn't think was bad for a fresh pizza and the brewery was busy. People were grabbing pizzas what seemed like every five minutes, so the pizza truck was definitely busy as well. Everyone here was grabbing pizzas. I am excited to try more of their menu options! Can't wait for them to be back!

As soon as you walk in, you get the old school pizza parlor. The first thing that gets you is the aroma of pizza, and it is so good you just know the pizza will taste great as well. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by someone in the open kitchen, told us to grab a menu and come back up when we were ready to order and sit anywhere. The dining room is small with several booths and there was a large group there that they pushed tables together to accommodate. They have a lot of great looking specialty pizzas but we did a build your own and even though it was just 2 of us, we got a 16 in so we would have leftovers to take home. It only took about 20 minutes for our pizza and it was everything I expected. Perfect crust, the sauce was fresh tasting and flavorful, and the toppings are tasty and generous. I think I would vacation in Two Harbors again just to get this pizza! If you are in the area, this is a must!

Getting ready to order, at the counter, and another customer tells us that the staff had just stated, "taking only to go orders".... Since we staying at a hotel in Duluth, we decided to leave. What a let down! So we left and ended up at Sammy's pizza. And it was fantastic!
