Meh! We so wanted to love Gustaf's coming for Mother's Day. My rating is neutral as I didn't hate…read moreit or love it. Perhaps we have to blame it on the holiday, however, the service and credit card fees are a reflection of this rating. My mom reserved a table for 3 and we felt rushed to order and weren't told about the special Mother's Day menu that would end at 1 pm and not begin on the secondary menu at 2 pm with a noon reservation. We got our order placed in time and I had no issues with the meal as the portion size of the egg bake was was perfection. Our server disappeared once our food was distributed which was a bummer as my mom wanted more coffee. When we went to pay, we were all surprised with the debit/ credit fee of (I believe almost 3%). I have to argue that in today's market as a business, you have got to find ways to omit this fee or very clearly advertise cash only. Lastly, mothers were to get a flower at the table and my mom did not. I understand it said "while supplies last", however, with reservations, this should have been easy to count and distribute accordingly. The ambiance of this old historic building are my style as I appreciate any place that has been preserved. The city of Lindstrom is also such a special place. Proceed here with caution as there are good and bad.

It did look to be pretty understaffed and the server was friendly, but she never checked in on us after we ordered and there was no transparency about the delay. When we did get our food, it was pretty good but there was no apology or anything about the wait. It was also a very small place with only a few customers in it so I was a little confused about the whole situation. It was disappointing, but maybe it was just a one-off experience. May try again!

I don't know who if anyone was managing but whomever it was wasn't doing their job. We joined our friends for dinner there. We sat down, and no kidding, after 15 minutes of not even acknowledging our presence we had to ASK to put in a drink order!! I mean the place wasn't busy at all, and there's no way they didn't see us. It took another 10 minutes for them to take our food order, and then after 30 minutes, and watching others who came in after us getting their food, we asked about ours...they forgot to put our food order in and blamed it on the printer in the kitchen. If it was the printer then why did others get their food?!? So they lied on top of it. Then the four people who ordered burgers got their meals, but they forgot me because I ordered a bacon chicken ranch wrap. When they brought my wrap after I had to ask for it, there was NO CHICKEN in the wrap! I was so hungry I ate it anyway. But really?!? Where was the manager? More importantly where was the owner?!? Neither one gave a damn about us! We won't be back. Even if the food is good, and the place is clean, awful service ruins the entire experience. BTW - we tipped our server well anyway...

Uh...yeah, you COULD...I worked at a lunch counter and made many malts; it's not rocket science. So I got a waffle cone instead and regretted that. It was a warm day and the ice cream dripped down my arm, creating a real mess. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't choose Schooney's for ice cream. The nearby Juneberry Cafe also has ice cream. Or I'd try The Drive In on the same street, which advertises "Any pop flavor can be a float or freeze" - just imagine!

The first TWO visits we were served The California Burger. That must have been a mistake as the Third Tuesday we went there we were told "It's only a Cheeseburger, Fries, and a beer or soft drink" . Any lettuce,onion,etc was .50 extra per topping. We were surprised and confused by this information. Apparently we 'Offended and HARASSED THE WAIT STAFF' In our subsequent visits SOMEHOW. I learned this April 30,2024 after I ordered a Cheeseburger to go that night which was BLOODY RAW ! Why were we served again and again for over two months without hearing a word about these over-the-top allegations? I will never understand or know as we were UNINVITED TO EVER RETURN.

I don't need to listen to their conversations. We moved to the bar. Service and food was ok-nothing to write about. We did witness a patron who came in and ordered a specialty cocktail and she said it wasn't prepared as good as it usually is. She also had a hard time placing her food order due to the language barrier. Customer did not consume her drink. Server never same back. Customer left to go elsewhere. Her food never came out of the kitchen. We paid and left. I assume it may have been an "off" day for this establishment?
