The menu is through bar code scan only. The service was good the food was good. Nothing special but not the worst either.

I would drive 30 minutes out of my way to avoid this place go anywhere else. Slow service, terrible food.

Food was good. Staff was friendly. But the floors, tables and bathrooms were dirty. We won't be back.

Found a gem of a breakfast spot today in the rural Minnesota whistle stop of Osakis (population…read more1,800). We rode our bicycles the 10 miles on the Rails-to-Trails bike path from Alexandria to Osakis and stumbled on AJ's Restaurant for breakfast before riding another 10 miles back to Alex. Jeannie, the owner of the restaurant, did a great job making us feel welcome while taking our orders and serving our meals. After sharing a warm caramel roll right out of the oven, we ordered three different 3-egg omelettes. They were all perfectly cooked and filled with delicious veggies and meats. AJ's surpassed our expectations with great food, great service and a down-home small-town hospitality. Gotta throw AJ's the fin.

Nice stop in Osakis for lunch. We hit the end of the lunch rush. It was busy, which means it must…read morebe good, but not too busy to allow for one server to service all tables. She did a great job. My attraction to the place was breakfast all day. I opted for Texas French toast. Three generous slices of French toast for $6. Had to get a side of bacon as well. Way too many calories but my kind of lunch. Husband had the wrap special with fries. He also liked his choice. I would have loved to try the chicken noodle soup but too full to add another item. Loved the bar stools which were boat seats. Very clever and also clever to advertise on the seat backs. Nice creativity. Good stop.

"Where do you want to go for breakfast, love? It's your birthday, you pick."…read moreYou think about it. Your sleepy little cow town has no good prospects. You think of conceding to good ol' Perkins, and think again. You google a few things. Something cute comes up. The drive is short enough, and facilitates the mandatory stop through Savers to peruse the electronics for that thing you had when you were 12. "Brigette's Cafe looks good, let's try it." Best decision of the day. The chicken fried steak special was delicious, nay, straight bussin. I still have no idea how it's actually made, and I don't care. The hash browns were perfect, and dare I say, picturesque. Eat your heart out, Norman Rockwell. The rye toast was delectable, with only butter to complement. I will be back. I will try the pancake platters. The best part? I'm a whole-ass adult... and nobody can stop me.

Not so much the receptionist, though--she could stand to learn a bit more, since she's in a position to interact with customers; at the very least, she should say "welcome" and "thank you." What I tried was delicious, but most importantly, as a chef, everything was prepared with high quality and served on time. I want to mention the hash browns, for example. Most--or I'd say almost all--chain restaurants use the wrong oil, or it's old or rancid. That's not the case at Brigitte's. Brigitte's isn't a chain, which is great. And the pancakes are so light they almost float in the air. Until next time....
