The Blue Moose on the Lake — Restaurant in Tamarack

I love hole in the wall places, the little bars that are gems for their own reasons. The lake is beautiful and the food was very good. The cook is extremely talented, the type of food you know he has hella training under his belt. I ordered the prime rib sandwich, not asking what was on it I was shocked nothing but the meat. I kind of regretted not asking for cheese and onions, and then the prime rib blew me away. Probably the best prime rib I've ever had. I'd say for the price bigger portions would help, not much under $13.00, but good food in an old bar atmosphere. Stop for the food, the view, and the dog in the bar, it is a quaint lil place we even threw a line off the dock at before leaving. Gluten free options were slim, but dang if the cook didn't do his best and whip up an awesome broiled walleye dinner on the fly, now...

Nice restaurant on the lake. Finally got back since the new owners took over. The menu remained the same but service is much better and food quality is drastically improved. The place is neat and clean with a beautiful view of the lake on the patio. Hoping they will put better patio furniture out in the spring. Would highly recommend going here for a nice meal my wife had the fish sandwich and I had a barbecue burger with onion rings on and tater tots. Very good. Watch out for there 1 million Scoville hot sauce someone tried it while we were there just one drip burnt...

The food here is absolutely outstanding. It’s a hidden gem in the area. Best food by far in Aitkin County. I can’t stress enough how good the food is. My husband always gets the meat hammer sandwich. Last night I tried the special which was a sirloin steak and shrimp with au gratin potatoes and mixed veggies. In the fall they had a special Oktoberfest menu which was really fun. I had the cabbage rolls and they tasted like ones I had in Germany. The food is very affordable priced...
