Pine Peaks Restaurant — Restaurant in Crosslake

Cozy and quaint local cafe in Crosslake, MN. It has an Up north woods cabin feel atmosphere and decor located in the heart of Minnesota's lake country. This restaurant serves both breakfast and lunch items and is open until 4pm most days. On the weekends in the summer they also offer a buffet option. The restaurant also has a really nice gift shop with lots of of northwoods home decor and location specific apparel. I have eaten here once before and had a good experience. I had ordered a breakfast skillet and it was pretty good. However this time I opted for the Turkey club sandwich, something seemingly simple and basic. However when the sandwich arrived it was filled with appearingly grisly hunks of grayish dark meat. The bread was dry and the tomatoes were mealy. And the cheese was of the processed individually wrapped slices variety. The sandwich as a whole was a disappointment and had the overall appearance and taste as if it were prepped hours ago and stored in the fridge. Upon attempting to pick it up and take a bite the sandwich and its components started to fall apart.My two experiences here were very contrasting therefore leaving room for another visit to form a...

Nope, can't say I would choose this place again. Though the service was fine I wasn't thrilled with the wait times. I can appreciate that it was rather busy, maybe 75% full table wise, and they likely are having staffing struggles but half an hour, maybe even forty five minutes isn't ideal. When it comes down to it the food is what was most damaging to the experience. One member of my party ordered the French toast and shared it with another, both of them agreed that it did not taste like french toast. The biggest letdown was certainly the waffle. I ordered strawberries in place of meat and I was absolutely not pleased with what was served. It was not fully cooked and what's more the whole thing was a soggy mess from the jarred strawberry mush. Not what I expected for the $3 extra cost. Though I am often shy about doing so this dish I sent back. Fortunately, the waiter was understanding and I was kindly given a new waffle with the fresh strawberries (which are apparently reserved for the fruit cups). The second was good by comparison but I still wouldn't order it again. All things considered I would not recommend. Can't say I...

Stopped at this little gem for a bite with the kiddos today. I ordered a side or mini doughnuts with the gourmet dip to tag along which myself and the kids loved! I also got an order of banana walnut oatmeal 👌 which was not bad at all.. (even though I'm not a huge fan of walnuts) and finally I finished off with probably the most basic but delicious.. Turkey club 😋 Tons of options on the menu, so many you'll be surprised how long it takes to make up your mind. There is also a neat and good size gift shop connected to the restaurant on the backend with a plentiful assortment of nik naks, apparel, gift cards, etc.. 4/5 🌟 simply because I happened to be the only one in here over an hour before close and it took me around 20 min to get my main course 🙃 food was wonderful though,...
