    Bar/grill

    Our waitress was on top of it! Ever time we needed something she was there with a smile. Food was delicious, my wife and I shared the beer battered cheese curds and they were tasty. I had a very delicious and filling bacon cheeseburger, with fries which were simply amazing. My wife had the club sandwich with fries. I stole a bite of her sandwich, which also tasted delicious. We both agree that the fry's here taste like a homemade take on McDonald's fry's, which is very impressive. They're crispy, and appetizing. All in all, awesome place, we both highly recommended it, and we will be returning ourselves.

    Grilled chicken sandwich and a side of onion rings

    I highly recommend upgrading your French fries just so you can get 5 onion rings and while trying to eat your chicken breast sandwich the meat falls off because they cut it up... Seems like the cook doesn't know how to tell when meat it cooked properly. May I recommend a thermometer? Service was very slow as well. Not worth the $12 I spent.

    Solidly good burger. Bloody mary comes with a mini Coors back. Weather Channel playing on the TV over the bar because ... it's Minnesota eh?

    Nordic Harbor - May 2025

    Fantastic concept all around! Located just 45-minutes from the Twin Cities, Nordic Harbor is a gem…read moreof a find offering overnight rooms, a market, rooftop patio and even pontoon rentals. My very first visit here was for Mother's Day when my mom suggested we check out the market and rooftop patio. I am so glad we did because I was instantly hooked by the entire experience from the cleanliness to overall transformation from a former beat down motel into a luxurious space. The market contains gelato, espresso drinks, cases of drinks from boozy to normal, Nordic Harbor apparel, frozen pizzas, little snacks such as cheese and meats and an opportunity to make your own charcuterie board. Think of the market as your home base or check in if you plan on renting a room. There is also a very nice bathroom in here. My favorite part? The intimacy. Nordic Harbor isn't trying to be the loudest, most overpopulated spot on the lake, rather, everything is crafted with intention and the Nordic theme of cozy and quiet in mind. I came back for Memorial Day weekend and did a 1-night overnight with a full 8-hour pontoon rental and everything was seamless. I booked every component of this trip online and it was even given a personalized call from the owner, Nic, when I had a few lingering questions. A special code will be provided via email to access your room on the lockbox as opposed to a key. Each room amplifies the Nordic "Hygee" concept mentioned above which includes a quaint space with no clutter. The room even comes with a binder book that helps describe the room layout with the goal of keeping clutter out. I appreciated the slippers, eye masks, Nespresso machines, dish wear, patio, coffee mugs, electric fire pit and quiet hours. Additionally, the entire bathroom was a vibe from the heated floors to the LED mirror to the hanging eucalyptus to the luxurious shower head and shower spray with full products available to use. This has been my favorite shower to date!! The market, outdoor patio and pontoon rentals are open to the public so there is a good chance that people you encounter might not necessarily be spending time overnight and that is the beautiful thing about this place! Our pontoon rental was seamless - zero issues. We had great assistance learning the ropes of the boat and then it was all very independent once the keys were given which we appreciated. Needless to say, I will be returning again for sure. Thank you, Nordic Harbor!

    This was our first visit to Nordic Harbor as we'd heard about it from a few different people and it…read morewas great; we'll definitely be back! The roof top vibe was very fun and inviting. We enjoyed the blankets strewn throughout and the stunning view of the lake and sunset. The bar tender was very friendly and we enjoyed talking to her.

    We stopped by the Shafer Bar and Grill for a quick bite to eat. Turns out, it was not a quick bite…read moresince we waited over an hour for our food (which was a few tacos and a burger). 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!

    We ate here for the first time on a Friday night. While the bar and restaurant were clean, and the…read morefood was very good, the service absolutely sucked. 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...
