Michael MosesSeptember 19, 2016Great place to sit outside by the lake. Does get crowded. Skip the front check in... Walk around to the tables in the back and ask a waitress for an table.
Patti KolstadJuly 21, 2017Loved Maynard's. First time and it was great. Sat out on the patio. Beautiful view of the lake.- Waffle fries with seasoned sour cream are delicious. Some of the best outdoor seating available if you can manage to snag a seat. No reservations for patio seating so be ready to fight for a table.
Phil SeymourSeptember 22, 2018Outdoor patio area is awesome but does get pretty packed for actual seats during really nice days especially in summer
Eda HorjetiJune 18, 2023I love the parking boat outside instead of parking car! Seems like Amsterdam or Venice outside here
Megan SelbyAugust 15, 2014Patio seating on Lake Minnetonka is the best thing this place has going. Come for drinks, but be prepared to wait for a table in the summertime.
A frequent stop for our family. Lakeside dining and/or cocktails. Love the seasoned sour creme dip with waffle fries!
Heath DumlerJune 18, 2014If you think you might want sugar bring it with you. I just got the last packet in the whole place, and we had to ask three people to get it!
Vicki JennigesFebruary 3, 2017Sunday brunch plus the included ice cream dessert. Oh and the cranberry mimosa was awesome too.
Amy SullivanSeptember 9, 2015Good and filling food. Disinterested staff...probably because all of their customers are coming from the lake drunk.
Colleen LillyMay 20, 2011Great location, fun atmosphere, good drinks & food. Prices are higher outside and you get plastic glasses on the deck! Great view of the lake in the Summer! Read more
annelieseAugust 22, 2012Eating outside is the best, but it is even better when there are waffle fries with Maynard's special sour cream condiments!
Deb RudyAugust 31, 2015Frannie's chicken salad is the best. Big salad with a good portion of coconut encrusted chicken breast.- Arielle LenoxJuly 6, 2018A little outside of the city but this place is always a party. Great get away to feel the lake life of Minnesota.
Thomas SchneiderDecember 26, 2019The pepsi is great when you forget your id at home and they card you.- The outdoor seating is great! Perfect summer spot!
Place is good for drinks on the water in the summer. Buy your drinks inside in the summer its a better price. Food is average at best and does not match the $ charged.
Michele BatesNovember 7, 2011I had pork chops here, and they were amazing, even the next day when I had the leftovers!.
- Theresa OslundAugust 1, 2013Second week tried outside and service is again not available cause staff is huddled chatting, and can't be interrupted to serve us. Also bar guys were talking about getting sucked off and threesomes.
- Steak bites & Cajun Pasta are amazing!
Chad GermannAugust 27, 2013Summer is high season for cougar hunting at this very active Game preserve. Best bait: a large, expensive boat.
Natalie HagemoAugust 28, 2011Great outdoor seating by the water. Frannie's chicken salad is my favorite.
Love the 3pm-6pm HH in the bar! Apps are cheap and so are drinks :)
Cody WilliamsonApril 21, 2014I was so excited to try this place, then I say down and the bus guy rolled his eyes, wouldn't talk to me or my friend, then proceeded to spill water alllllll over me and never even said sorry. Dickwad
Sun, cocktails, sparkling lake and music! What more could you ask for on a Saturday?
Davo GutierrezNovember 30, 2010Get the pork chops, if they only serve you one chop ask for the second one at no charge..!
