Best WLM Reviews
My husband and I had lunch here with my parents and the food and service were wonderful.
We all had walleye in some form so the food portion of this review is sort of limited. My dad had the walleye sandwich with waffle fries with the rest of ordering the pan fried walleye.
The walleye was cooked perfectly for everyone and tasted absolutely delicious. The vegetables were fresh- hot, not mushy, full flavor, not oversalted. The mashed potatoes and waffle fries were both good. I can't wait to go back and try the dinner menu.
Service was fast and friendly. My dad has milk at lunch every day without fail and for some reason about 95% of servers forget to bring him his milk. The milk showed up here. Maybe it's because we all ordered walleye but I'll put it in the good service pocket so kudos! Our server was awesome.
Accessibility: there's disability parking though it's somewhat far from the entrance. You may need to be dropped at the door. I took photos so refer to those. Wheelchairs will need to roll up a slight incline to the door from the parking access. We sat at a booth and I was able to easily transfer out of my chair onto the cushioned booth with my chair sitting right next to me. It didn't block the aisle (manual rigid chair). The tables in the area we sat in were wheelchair accessible. Aisles were plenty wide.
Steak was ordered as medium well. Came out well done and a bit dry. Double bacon cheese burger was also ordered medium well and also came out well done with not a Not a whole lot of flavoring either. Cheese curds tasted like they had been fried in the same oil as the walleye.
Server was nice though.
We've been here many times over the years and it is on of my favorite places for a nice diner or a quick bite. Dave just does it right. The soups are amazing, main dishes are incredible and his quesadilla's are very special, never had better.

Food was very good, staff was very nice and attentive. Double bacon cheese burger, prime rib sandwich tasty
I liked it I had the prime rib it was good my buddy didn't care for the lobster Mac staff was friendly and my drink never ran dry
Visiting Brainerd for a couple of days and wanted to grab some dinner. We started out with the chicken wild rice soup, it was one of the better soups I've had. I had the walleye sandwich and it was fantastic - the walleye was very fresh and the beer batter was on point. Great service as well, would definitely come back.
Husband had 10 ounce Prime Rib with Wild Rice Pilaf, asked waitress to let Chef know it was the best he'd had in long time. I had the Lobster Mac and Cheese and small Ceasars Salad nummmmm
We came too late for the restaurant, so we moved to the bar. Was pleasantly surprised that we could order off the menu still since we only had an hour before they closed. We never felt rushed and everyone was so nice and fun. Enjoyed our hour there!
