Restaurants near Dower State Wildlife Management Area

Char at Grandview Lodge is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the Brainerd Lakes Area. There #1 menu item for me is the Prime Rib, unfortunately, this was only available Friday and Saturday evenings which was disappointing because it was a Holiday Weekend and I was really looking forward to having it! However, the food here is outstanding and the atmosphere is relaxing. We had a cozy table by the fireplace which was perfect for a cold winter evening. Their servers are outstanding which really differentiates Grandview Lodge from other local restaurants. I would 100% recommend.

Our experience at On the Rocks in the igloo was exceptional! The staff was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience top-notch." Our server, Char, was efficient and perfectly served our drinks and food throughout our two hours. Her timing was spot on. The atmosphere was fun, beautiful, and a special celebration of our family. The cozy igloo, soft lighting, and casual decor help to create the perfect setting for any occasion. We ordered the chocolate fondue platter for our group of five. It was a generous portion and we had a lot left over. We also ordered food off the Northwoods Pub menu and ate in the igloo. Everything was PERFECT! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Wonderful food drinks and service. Very accommodating. Even made my type I diabetic 12 year old son a diet sprite Shirley temple. He was in heaven. Gave my daughter an extra cherry because she was upset when we got there. Just very very accommodating especially for kids as an upscale place. Walleye phenomenal. Scallop and lobster linguini amazing. All of was spectacular including the wood fire on this cold night

Food was amazing. Wine cellar tour was very fun and informative. Wine was excellent. Service was outstanding

Great karaoke and the service was amazing! Can’t wait to go back.
