Reviews for Forest Lake Restaurant in Grand Rapids, MN
Fine dinning for any occasion. The waitresses are well versed in the offerings of the menu. This is considered the top of the... list accommodation from start to finish. The food has always been enjoyable,and portions never dissapoint your expectations.Everything is well above what's needed to indulge and be satisfied. So if its by sudden or planned in advanced, by reservationor simply walk in,no matter the level of hungry when you arrive to dine you leave satisfied. I appreciate how you feel welcomedand greeted immediately. Promptly seated, in your choice of the restaurant,lounge or at bar. You will be comfortable in a veryrespectable establishment and set at ease with views of the gorgeously built log cabin style surrounding you as you relax andenjoy everything there is to offer.. to a "Great Northern Minnesota" dinning experiance. Happy eating!! Cheers! & Toast! to afull belly and memory to assure a return visit!!! Read more
Thought about going 4 stars because the Beans lacked flavor (plenty smoke, but no tang), but this place really does deserve 5... stars. Wife and Sister-in-Law had the Carolina Pulled Pork with Fries and a side salad...both loved all of it. They got a loafof bread also and said that was awesome too. Family friend got the special which was a spicy Cajon Chicken Alfredo, and he saidthat was excellent as well. I had a full rack of Ribs, with Fries and Baked Beans...all really good, but as I said the Beanswere a bit lacking. I also had two very good Bloody Mary's. Everyone was completely satisfied with the whole experience...andVERY pleased with the low bill. We WILL be back for sure; easily my vacation favorite! Read more
Frequent diners. We made a reservation for 13 for Saturday morning breakfast, our back room, corner table request was honored.... Confused waitress, kitchen must have been understaffed. Parts of our orders were missing items, retrieved too far into the meal,and none of the food was hot, or even really warm. Never heard the day's special and, as always, not enough muffins had beenmade for the morning (make less bran). We will return and we hope for a better experience. Read more

Had breakfast and was very impressed. Had the smothered hash browns with two eggs on top and it was excellent. Prices were... very fair and service was great. Cool atmosphere in a vintage establishment. Read more
