I would recommend this restaurant over and over again. Taylor and the rest of the staff served me yesterday, June 22nd 2018, which was my birthday, and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. I'm not extremely familiar with Detroit Lakes, (I am literally from out of town and was just visiting), and was having kind of a not so great day before I got to this town. When I got here, I wondered where I should go to eat and where might be a fun place to go to celebrate my birthday since I didn't really have anybody else with me at the time to be with. I ended up being so glad that I stopped in here. Thank you so much to Taylor for being such an amazing waitress and taking such great care of me the whole time I was there. She had a smile on her face and even brought me an adorable little birthday cake which I was totally not expecting. I hope that the restaurant gives her a raise, because she totally earned it. Thank you to the rest of the staff as well, you are awesome. I hope that this restaurant lasts a very long time, it is definitely a fun place to go with amazing people to serve you and the food is totally awesome! THANK YOU so much again for making my birthday so much more fun! I have included a picture of the super cute birthday cake. Much love to Taylor and all the rest of the staff!
