We didn't know if it was seat yourself or if we should wait for a host, there wasn't a sign or anyone to greet you at the front. Our waitress was great, she was able to recommend food & drinks, checked on us multiple times, and was super friendly. Our drinks came quick, but our food took forever. (A table next to us was seated, ordered, ate, paid & left before we got our food). When it finally came, the fries were cold but everything else was warm. For being cold the fries were still yummy, which means they're probably amazing when they're fresh and hot! We had the pulled pork (8/10), sweet potato quesadilla (7/10), garlic parm wings (6/10), and buffalo chicken sandwich (9/10). Overall, I'd come back if I was in Detroit lakes again. The place itself is fun, large strip mall parking lot, extensive bar, lots of high top seating, and decent patio.

The bar and view are top echelon. The service is fine, but the food is at the quality level of a well run McDonald's, and in last nights instance it's worse.

The waitress brought our check only a few minutes after bringing our entrees. We had only just begun eating. We all found that a bit rude. How did she know we that we wouldn't want more?

A real cringe that we all noticed. No matter how good the food was, or mediocre, the service leaves you not feeling welcomed.

Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Did I mention that the Cajun Prime Rib special was only $14.95? Deal! This diner is connected with a truck stop, small convenience store and a motel. I noticed they sold fishing tackle and bait because this is Minnesota after all. It was clean and the decor was diner-ish cute. On the way to the rest room, I noticed a cooler of pies and cinnamon rolls. Rumor has it that they serve the best breakfasts in the area. May need to give it a try!
