There's a reason that many people call this the best meat raffle in Minnesota. I love a good meat…read moreraffle, even though I'm a vegetarian. It's fun to play and I just give the prizes to one of my friends. The Jenkins VFW meat raffle truly is one of the best out there. For starters, all the meat comes from the butcher in Emily, Minnesota, which I have been assured is the best out there. I don't know. I don't eat meat. This meat raffle has a very precise set of rules. You have to buy the tickets at the right time. You have to line up in the order the numbers are called. And above all else, you are not allowed to touch the meat. I repeat, do not touch the meat. They will wrap it up in a bag for you after you claim it and when you bring it back to your table then you can touch it if you still choose. One of the really cool things about this meat raffle is that they do it in multiple rounds. The first couple rounds are packs of meat worth seven dollars. The next is $10. And then it escalates to $15. Regardless of the value of the meat, each ticket is still only one dollar. It's a ton of fun. The the bar is spacious. They have both live and video pool tabs to play in between rounds of the meat raffle. This is just such an awesome place to hang out. The weight staff is excellent and super friendly. They have a decent selection of beverages and make a good bloody Mary. The kitchen is open at four and there's often community events going on. This is an excellent VFW and I encourage you to visit.

Second off, their Wing night on Tuesday is great. The wings are cheap, crispy and very tasty. Beyond that they have friendly staff, stiff drink and decent things like burgers. You should to here. It's far from gourmet but still amazing.

We have visited the Brainerd/Nisswa area for decades but only last year did we finally get a place…read moreof our own in Lake Shore (yay!) - so instead of hitting our five usual places that we went to on our one precious week each summer (Rafferty's, Zorbaz, Ernie's, Bar Harbor & Quarterdeck), now that we have more time here in the summer, we are branching out and trying some new places, Lucky's among them, and I'm so glad we are! This place was great - super friendly service, reasonable prices, big portions, AND tasty food! Nothing flashy, but everything we tried was good. We had cheese curds and fried green beans to start, my son got shepherd's pie, and my husband and I both got fish & chips, and we got a little two pack of monster cookies to go for dessert (yum) - we would definitely return here!

Food 5/5: the outside of this place gives dive bar vibes, but the food absolutely wow'd us. We got pretzels and the fried green beans for appetizers, both were very good. It was a cooler summer day, so many of us opted for the comfort food. I got the chicken and it was spiced absolutely perfectly. The rice was done to perfection, the chunks of chicken complimented by the sauce. I would absolutely go back for just that. They have a great menu selection and great kid meal options. Service 5/5: our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She took our order quickly and the food also came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: like I said earlier, this place gives dive bar vibes from the outside. The inside is definitely more elevated. Plenty of room and seating with a great patio for nice days.

This place is off the beaten path in Jenkins and fit the bill. The service was super fast and friendly. It's sort of a "Panera" setup where you order with a person or at a kiosk then they deliver food and drinks to your table. I had some customizations to make for the kids and everything came out correctly. The bread is incredible! The meats, toppings, flavors - everything is delicious. Even the white queso was some of the best I've had with nice chunks of green chiles. It's *really hard* to make all 3 of my kids happy at the same restaurant and this one nailed it. Can't wait to come back in a couple weeks when we are up north again!

Our kids were ready to mutiny. My husband said his burger was just like his mom used make and could have doubled as a hockey puck. My kids corn dogs were cold while the other son's chicken strips were steaming to the point I couldn't touch them to cut them. And if you're keeping track, that's right, we waited AN HOUR for a cheeseburger, chicken strips and mini corn dogs, all at varying levels of doneness. They also didn't have a server. Im hoping it's because someone called in, but it seems unlikely. I ended up going up to the bar multiple times to put in our order and get refills. The saving grace? The meat raffle caller had an old school radio DJ voice and was highly entertaining while we waited AN HOUR for our horrible food.

Ordered Duck Wontons & a plain burger with a slice of raw onion. 20 minutes later server tells us they're out of wontons, need to select an alternative. Food comes out almost a hour after getting our table. Burger bun was ICE COLD, literally, top & bottom, that cooled the patty. Had others verify I wasn't being too picky. The raw onion on the burger cost $1.00, four rings of a purple onion. Fries, a $2.00 up-charge from chips were cold, soggy, limpy and clearly died waiting for the replacement meal (which lacked seasoning) for the out of stock Duck wontons. Tab came and included a charge for the out of stock Duck wontons. Had to track down our server, point out the error and wait for a corrected tab. Disappointing for a spot that we frequent.

Great place for parents to come chill and have a drink after spending time with the kids all day. Kids can play on beach while parents sit and relax.

We had a bigger group and got a mix of pizza, chips and salsa/guacamole, tacos, burritos, and chicken bowls. Overall the food tasted good, well spiced and balanced. The bartenders were helpful and mostly friendly. We have been coming to this location for years and feel like it is becoming rundown. A few things we noticed: -limes and lemons at the outdoor bar were brown and either had been out for days or the heat was making them go bad -the bathrooms smell like puke/other potty smells and the floor is consistently sticky everywhere -we all had belly aches after we ate, with some people having more issues than others -we sat at the composite picnic tables and they almost burned our skin Overall this is a fun place to stop for drinks and entertainment, but be warned about food quality and potential other sanitary concerns. This place could overall use a good thorough clean and benefit from more umbrellas to shade the composite tables to avoid burning skin.
