They took our orders quickly and didn't bat an eye at the kids running around (not mine!). Beer is dirt cheap. Burgers are good. Oh..and the fried onion rings are delicious. Yum! You can feel the local mirth and rosy cheeks up in here. This is a local favorite. And it's easy to see why. The place is huge and homey. Complete with slot machines and tvs of course. The servers are so friendly and run this place to the ground.

The infused vodka for the bloody Mary was really good, and the sandwich was unbelievable. I also loved the chips, which I don't usually. Overall, the vibe in this place is excellent, and the service was fantastic. I will absolutely be back, and would recommend this place at the top of my list to anyone visiting the area.

We stopped by The Pickle Loon while staying at a family cabin down the road. Even on a Monday, the…read moreplace was packed!! It started raining before we arrived, so I think everyone headed inside at once, but we were able to grab seats at the bar and still received great service. I ordered the AYCE walleye. The portions were a little smaller than I expected, but the fish was good and I especially enjoyed the hush puppies. My husband ordered the Loon Burger and said it was one of the best burgers he's had in a while. The only downside was the wait for the second round of walleye, which took close to 30 minutes. By then we were ready to leave, so we ended up taking it to go. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try some of the other menu items!!

Everything about our meal was perfect!…read more Background: we've been to almost every restaurant within 30 miles of Crosslake, most many times. We somehow missed this place. We would rank this meal as one of our best in the area. I had the crab cake sandwich, upgraded to include the dinner salad. The sandwich is one of the best things I've ever eaten. And, am pretty sure the amazing blu cheese dressing was house made. I tasted my husband's food, and can confirm... his cheeseburger upgraded to have the Cesar salad and the shrimp bisque was FANTASTIC!!! Will definitely be back!

Burritos you can't go wrong with, they're very good. They also have a kids menu if you have little ones. If it's busy, be patient. And be kind.

I originally got 2 breakfast, a German and a Beef and Kraut. They were fantastic! I went back as we were leaving to head west and got some frozen ones to bring along our journey. I only wish they still took mail orders! Do yourself a favor and stop by this tiny gem. You will not be disappointed. The sweet lady with the tattoos was a doll....very friendly and helpful.

There's only a handful of places from The UP (of Michigan) over to The Iron Range who not only make and serve delicious Pasties, but have them frozen or freezer ready to go. Please make Pasties Plus a stop on your way. This is a take out and take home place. I recall seeing one small table. So don't bring a group here to eat. Call ahead and order for your group, family or yourself. Then stop in. Take out. And enjoy. PS - I suggest cutting your hot Pastie in half. Partly to let the heat and savory smells out, but also so you can douse one side with ketchup while you taste the other side straight up.
