8. Dock 77
Reviewed By MTA-747-757-767
This restaurant/bar is at the old Quarterdeck property and for the past couple years was under lease from a different restaurant group. It opened this spring under a new lease/company and renamed Dock 77.The facilities are nearly identical to its predecessor. Inside as well as outside dining, overlooking the shoreline of Gull Lake. Same docks as before. So what is different?The menu and the staff! The food is contemporary and upscale at highly reasonable prices. And the staff are cheerful, helpful and friendly.My wife and I boated there with a friend and met 4 other friends there for cocktails and dinner on a beautiful summer evening.We started off with an unusual appetizer named "whole fish" (see photo). It looked odd, but the flavor was tasty. Once the platter arrived at our table, several other tables around us suddenly ordered the same appetizer, wanting to try it too.I had the brisket sandwich with fries. Very delicious and tender meat.Our waitress was busy with other tables, but did a fantastic job being attentive to us too, not missing a beat.Overall, nice new establishment on Gull Lake. Well done guys!
7. American Legion
Reviewed By srcolbert53
We had the stuffed walleye last Friday night with another couple. On Friday nights the Legion offers three different specials every week. All four of us thought this was one of the greatest fish meals we had ever had. No breading on the fish with a seafood shrimp & crab meat stuffing, a perfectly cooked baked potato, and a simple salad. We had pretty good luck at the meat raffle too. We had so much fun we are going back down this Friday for a crack at a different special.
6. Freddy's Grille At The Pines
Reviewed By WeVisitTheWorld1996
We dined here twice during our trip - because it was that good. The first time we had the Gyro/fresh fruit and the Veggie Torpedo Caprese/fresh fruit. The second time we tried the Steak Sandwich & the Grilled Chicken Sandwich - both with salads. Very tasty dishes, service was great, price was good. Would recommend this place for lunch or a mid afternoon snack/beer stop.

We were in Nisswa last week, staying at Grand View Lodge, and ended up going to Northwoods Pub for dinner, given that it was the off-season and there were not many choices, especially in the mid-range price category. My major complaint was that the restaurant was way too crowded and noisy. Also, the food was just okay with not many choices for vegetarians. One of our party got sick from the chicken on his salad and could not join us for the wonderful breakfast buffet at the lodge the next morning.

Seemed like a lot of locals and we fish out of water but it must have been the owner who immediately greeted and seated us. Awesome food. Loved the steak salad-large-didnât want to eat it all but couldnât resist. Iâd like to go back tomorrow night!
2. Big Axe Brewing Company

My husband and I stop every so often at the Big Axe Brewery. The brewery is attached to a restaurant- we haven't eaten there, but the food always looks great. We enjoy the outdoor seating at Big Axe. The inside brewery has limited seating- but in the winter time it works great. I like the variety of beers to try. The 'only' problem is service. On a busy weekend staff is stretched with cooking, waiting tables and pouring beers. The brewery area sometimes has their bartender in two different areas. Customers- please know all you need to do is to go to the restaurant side someone will help you. The staff wants you to have a great time and they are willing to let you try different beers. They want you happy. We always enjoy our visit here to Big Axe

This is a delightful restaurant in downtown Nisswa. A great selection of Midwest beers on draft - like, maybe 20 - along with a minimalist menu of appealing food. I went with grilled walleye which was outstanding, while my wife had a salad. All in all, a great place to eat or sample local brews. Friendly staff adds to the charm.
