    Broasted chicken thigh
    Sounder A.

    Super good broasted chicken. Walleye fish and chips was also very good. Seasoned sour cream for the fries was money. Scoop chips we're very good, I would also try the tater tots and onion rings. Cheese curds are a must. Staff is super nice and on top of everything. Booty chasers in the bar is a good time to blow some cash and maybe hit it big.

    They had amazing food and service the vibe was great and the food was awesome. I love the way this restaurant looks and feels.

    Food and service is spot on. I recommend the breasted chicken. Some of the best I have tried. Sooo good. And the atmosphere is nice and cozy. Wood cabin like interior makes you feel like you're not in the cities. It's like a nice getaway. I will be returning for sure. Thank you all much.

    There are milestones throughout history that one can point to that subvert America, eating at the Stone Inn is one of them. Walking in the front doors I had to bypass a folding table that was staffed with a cub scout trying to sell me a coupon book or something, I felt like I had to juke left, then right, to make it through the front door. Success. The hostess sat my family down in a tucked booth in the bar area. We weren't hoping for much, just a quick lunch before an event in town. The menu is your typical Northern Minnesota offerings, so nothing special to be desired. I played it safe and wanted to try their cheeseburger and fries. A true base to judge an establishment. As we waited for the food, I couldn't help but notice the table was not very clean. As one of my pics shows, these tables were likely made by the owner or some neighbor friend who likes to make furniture as a hobby. The cracks and unevenness of the table were filled with old food from other patrons. You can see where they have attempted to seal the cracks with silicone. Though maybe this is on purpose? Maybe an appetizer before your meal? Once the food arrived... well, let's just say I don't have a whole lot to write about it. The burger was overly greasy to the point where my bottom bun was sogged out. The fries are drenched as well. Which made everything tasteless and disappointing. I had to walk past the same kid and table on my way out, still touting what he had set out to accomplish. Next time I go through Chisago City, I believe I'll keep driving and wonder if the Margaritas will ever make it under the 'Fun Drinks' heading of their bar menu or if they'll always be under their non-fun category.

    Deep fried cheese curds with a side of ranch.

    The food is amazing!! Try some deep fried cheese curds! Or try the Brussel sprouts appetizer with hot honey, or the wontons, or the burgers, or the broasted chicken!! Have Brandon at the bar make you a mixed drink or a cold tap beer! Service is great!! We visit here at least once a month!!

    We go with a group for lunch. Our waitress always does a great job of taking care of us. This time I had the walleye sandwich special that was very tasty. I also had the amber beer from the brewery next door. My wife had the prime rib lunch special that was delicious and more than enough. Always an enjoyable meal here.

    Sis and I took a last-minute Thursday late afternoon roadtrip up Hwy 8 due to a FB Marketplace…read morepickup. It was dinnertime and I asked the Seller a restaurant they recommend in the area. She told us The Northern and to make sure to order the cheese curds. Looking at the menu before hitting the road again, sis and I knew the place was for us: burgers, sandwiches and wraps. Pulling into the parking lot was easy. Even though looked full, we were still able to find a spot. I want to note the gorgeous view of the red barn/farm across from the pond when pulling in. I noticed a patio on the North side of the building, which would put this farm in your view. We did have about a 20 minute wait for a table for 2. The restaurant looked busy from what I could see. Once we were brought to out table, I then noticed that the bar seating was pretty much open. Had I known, we might have elected to just sit at the bar. However, I asked for menus right away so that we could at least ponder it during that 20 minutes. We were sat at a high top right near the kitchen door. Being able to see all the food come out, I changed my mind on what I was going to order almost 10 times. We asked for the cheese curds as soon as we were greeted by our waitress. OMGosh! They were in the shape of cubes, deep fried to golden perfection. The outside had perfect firmness from the fryer. The inside was gooey, salty white cheese. Perfect just by itself. It did come with a ranch dipping sauce that was just so yummy. It reminded me a seasoned sour cream. The waitress didn't know the brand of the cheese curds (ie. Ellsworth) but did say the ranch was homemade Sis ordered the Great Northern Burger with French fries. She's a fan of BBQ sauce, bacon and onion rings on a burger. Fries were nicely seasoned, long, soft and semi-skin-on (not crinkle or steak fries). Burger was huge and worth the $15.99 price tag. I settled on the BOTM, the Nacho Burger, with tator tots. Toppings included nacho cheese, Fritos chips, bacon, diced/sliced jalapenos. The tator tots were one of the best I've ever had. Again, seasoned nicely. And the perfect ratio of hard outside crunch to soft inside potato. The Nacho burger was huge too....and messy with the nacho cheese. The Fritos did get a little soggy at the end. The bacon was under the melted cheese. And there were plenty of jalapenos hidden under the meat patty. Those were easy to discard so I could control how many fiery peppers were in my mouth at one time. Was service slower than normal? Yes. Was the service friendly? Yes. Was it worth the wait? Also YES! I would definitely recommend (I already have to my coworkers.) for anyone who loves gourmet burgers. They also have a nice variety to the sandwich, wraps, tacos and flatbread menu. I will just have to take the 40 minute drive again to try something else.

    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!

We arrived before…read morenoon and while there was only a couple of occupied tables, the bar was about 80% occupied with the local crowd who obviously enjoy a late morning beer (or three). The Grill has plenty of TVs a couple of pool tables, a pull tab booth, etc. The restroom was O.K. The cook, whom I greeted the couple of times he passed by to pick up supplies stored in the dining area, needs to smile or at least acknowledge a customer when they say "hello." I kinda had a "feeling" after looking around, including a peek into the kitchen and reviewing the menu, I ordered Chicken Fingers and tots something you typically can't screw up). My friend, who didn't have the same "feeling," went outside the safe zone and ordered a Taco Salad with chicken. Oh well, I warned her. The food arrived pretty quickly. I was right when ordering the chicken fingers. They arrived hot and the serving was plentiful (see photo). Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for my friend's salad, which she described as her "worst salad ever." The chicken was the worst ever...chicken was old, seemed pressed and was chewy. The salad had very little lettuce and the "shell" was almost flimsy...obviously old. Our server removed the remaining salad and never asked if everything was OK. She's obviously become used to the lousy food and offered no comment. If you're passing through the town, don't make the mistake of stopping here. There MUST be a better option...but if not, keep driving.

It took several minutes for someone to tell us we could sit wherever. Finally, our waitress stopped over, took our drink order, but because we weren't ready, she left.
