    Nachos Supreme with chicken.
    Leif R.

    The service was awfully slow. We seated ourselves, in plain sight of the bar, but didn't get a server. I went to bar and asked for menus. We spent ten minutes looking over the menu and waiting for a server. I got up, found a server, requested service, sat back down and smarter another five minutes or so we finally got a server. She was delightful and attentive, and about the only thing we experienced at this place that was decent. We ordered some appetizers and an order of chicken nachos. Mother of god... these are not chicken nachos. It's a pile of goopy crap slathered with a layer of factory chemical NOT YO Cheese-like substance that tasted vaguely of Kraft Mac and cheese mixed with sadness and a bit of Jalepeno juice. The chicken. If you want to call it that, is some mushy crap right out of a bag of frozen, precut, garbage. It's marinated in... well... honestly I don't know what exactly it was, but it shouldn't be on food consumed by humans. The place was not busy. Maybe 7 tables for 3 servers and a bartender. Based on the quality of the food I can tell you why it's not busy.

    Good food great service. Wild rice soup and walleye were fantastic. This sentence is to Comply with 85 characters

    Chicken Parmesan Burger

    Food was good! We were hungry! Service was good! She was a nice waitress! Ambiance is very nice! I like the space and the teal booths! What made this a 4 would be that my dad got cold tortillas with his food and that it took 45 minutes to get our food. Other than that, it was nice. I would try a different option on their menu. The Chicken Parmesan was okay, I wouldn't get that again but that's just me.

    Cheese burger

    When we arrived we where greeted and seated quickly. The place was hoping due to live music in the bar area. Our waitress was friendly and did a nice job keeping our drinks full. Our food came fairly quickly and the cheese burger was dry as well as the fish taco. The presentation was great for all dishes. Friendly staff and cleanliness will bring us back to eat again.

    Mozzarella sticks

    So the Sawmill.... What a place. Talk about your run of the mill kind of atmosphere where bikers, miners and truck drivers wanna show off their battle scars. As you approach this Giant building you don't necessary see a mill but you definitely feel at home to a place like this. It's not fancy but it definitely has a rustic charm about it. Above the bar there is a giant saw blade that you can see has rusted away since it's opening in 1992. I'll get into the history in a bit here. On this very occasion as I write this I was joined by twin friends and insisted I order "the boot" since we are all fire fighters so I did. A giant boot glass filled Castle Danger Cream Ale. How could I resist haha our waitress was very kind, made great recommendations but I just went with some delicious mozzarella sticks. By twin buddy's went with the Lumber jack burger with fries as the other ordered some bbq chicken wings. The food turned out amazing. Truely delicious! I can definitely say that this is a good hang out spot for the guys and girls. I wouldn't count on this place for a romantic evening out but definitely some place you could enjoy time with friends while drinking a few brews. Dig up some history and found this out, In 1970 the owner of the original Sawmill had a vision of building a landmark bar and grill constructed of rough cut lumber from local sawmills. In 1970 this idea, "The Sawmill", was complete and the largest bar/restaurant/liquor store north of Hinckley opened its doors. The decor featured local artifacts, antiques, memorabilia and a player piano. A caboose from the "DM&IR" railroad was attached for dining. The Sawmill thrived until it was totally destroyed by fire in 1989. In 1992 the new Sawmill, with a unique new design was opened. The original owner, Andy, at 70 years of age, had completed his vision again. An Iron Range Tradition was restored featuring much of the same decor. Try it sometime, until then, #schroyerfamilydaily #arrenschroyer #virginiamn #minnesotalocal #minnesota #sawmill In 1997 Jay Ryan Enterprises, took over ownership and proudly operated the facility for 10 years until January 2008 when the new owner Alissa Sundberg of Sundberg Enterprises, LLC purchased the long standing landmark. Alissa and her staff will continue to carry on the legacy. The Walgreens store sits on the site of the "original" Sawmill

    The food was ok. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the service was very very slow. We had to go find a waitress.

    Food and drinks are always outstanding for the area. Service is always lacking, so if you're in a hurry, go elsewhere.

    First arriving at Subway you immediately recognize the familiar logo and yellow pattern of New York…read moreCity on the walls. I'm immediately greeted by a friendly smile from the staff who was quick to ask "how can I help you?" Friendly customer service is the best especially if your in a hurry to get to work. My friend and I ordered "The Champ" sandwich on wheat with some bacon to go with. The portions on this sandwich are perfect, fresh, and delicious. The prices for the subs are not bad either. The only thing i would want is more healthier options. Other then that I believe this is a great place to stop at for a quick bite to eat. If you need something on the go fast these guys are doing a great job to make sure you can take your sandwich with you in no time flat. I'll be back, thanks guys! #schroyerfamilydaily #arrenschroyer #subway #eatfresh #12dollarfootlong #food #foodie #walmartsubway #sandwich

    I keep going back to this dairy quern because of the workers. There has not been one time ( knock…read moreon wood) that the workers have been unpleasant. They are always friendly and kind. The food is the same as other dairy queens, which isn't bad, but it isn't like super duper either. If we are going out for fast food, we usually pick DQ over others just because of the positive employees. One weird thing though, we ordered an ice cream cake and were planning to eat it in the restaurant part, but they didn't have any knives to cut it, and wouldn't allow us to bring in a knife to cut it ourselves...put a small damper on the bday party.

    Horrible experience! We ordered curbside pickup food & treats that were to be ready at 5:11 pm. We…read morecalled from the car that we were parked in the curbside spot. We waited over 15 minutes and finally went in the store. The staff was unbelievably untrained and one kid said, "We don't do curbside pick-up." I said we just called from the parking lot & were told the food would be right out. Another excuse was, "We had to make more ice cream." Our hamburgers & fries were sitting on the counter & were cold. The sundae & 2 Blizzards were melted and looked like milk. I asked when they were going to tell us things were running late. "We didn't have your number." I said we were sitting right outside at the "curb" & they knew that. I had to ask for covers for the Blizzards & sundae. Our order was not complete, either. Absolutely shocking "service," It was the worst experience dealing with a staff that could care less. We paid over $30 for inedible food & poor service. Do NOT go to this DQ!
