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!

I have had really good experiences with the Pork, Duck, Salmon, and Walleye. The only cons for me are the ribs (which are done the way they have always have and I just don't like the style, it's too much like ham for me) and the Ribeye (I'm not a fan of the blackening and there is usually too much fat for me). Beyond those two, you should come here for the best Supper Club vibe up here. Order a Martini or Manhattan up (you get the mixer and extra drink). Stay for a Brandy Alexander or other ice cream drink.
