Lucky's Tavern — Restaurant in Pequot Lakes

My family went here on a Sunday for their all you can eat crab legs. While the service was good, and the atmosphere was ok (typical up north bar/restaurant), the crab legs were absolutely horrible. For one, they provide no utensils needed for eating crab other than a cracker. So when my first batch arrived, and were the smallest crab legs I have ever been served, you can imagine the struggle I was having to get into the legs using mostly the normal sized fork I was given. It was not even worth all the effort to get the tiny pinch of meat out of these legs. What really got me though was that my legs were served with barnacles all over them. Now I know they are harmless, and do not do anything to the meat whatsoever (so it was perfectly safe to eat), it was just gross. Who wants to dig into a bunch of crab legs that look like they have warts all over them. I have eaten at many many places over the years and been served crab legs. Never once have I ever been served them with barnacles. So it definitely caught me off guard. From what I have been able to research online using AI, that is because most reputable places remove the barnacles as part of the prep process for the very reason of not grossing out their customers, and providing an appetizing presentation. Needless to say I gave up pretty quick, and feel like I wasted the $50 per person I spent on my meal. If they can’t prep the food well, that just makes me question everything else. I won’t be...

Seat yourself with plenty of available tables around lunchtime in middle of week in June. Did have to go around the block twice to find parking. Fast friendly service and great with soda refills. Chicken Wild Rice Casserole was creamy and smooth comfort food like a risotto with carrots and veggies. Husband had daily special of pulled BBQ chicken and cheese sandwich (?), He had half my meal, mine was better ;-) Had molasses cookies for dessert that reminded me of my Grandma. Excellent experience. Large, clean restrooms. edit, returned at end of week and tried the Chicken pot pie and the tator Tot Hotdish, both excellent. Returned June2022, tator tot hot dish and chicken wild rice casserole still excellent, was meat raffle night and hard to find parking and a table, inconsistent service and multiple servers dropping things off but no one really checking back to see if we needed refills or desserts or after dinner drinks resulting in lower ticket and lower...
