1. Russell's on the Lake

My sister from Arizona, myself and my nephew ate here for dinner on Friday evening. There were some great menu choices but none of us were extremely hungry so we went with sandwich choices. My sister and I split a Reuben which was extremely tasty. It could have used a little more sauerkraut but that's just my opinion. My nephew had a tuna melt, which he said was one of the best he's ever had. I had a side salad and it had a nice blend of lettuce and other vegetables. I really liked the honey mustard salad dressing. The french fries that accompanied the sandwiches were nice and hot and crisp. Having split we also ordered dessert. I had the Bon Bon which is hot fudge covered with a cookie crust mint chocolate chip ice cream and a whipping cream frosting. Seeing as how mint chip is my favorite this gets 5 stars from me! My sister had the carrot cake which I did have one bite of. We both felt it was just slightly above average for carrot cake. After dinner we walked down by the lake and got some beautiful views of the sunset. I am definitely going to return to Russell's when I am in the big lake area again. Personally I highly recommend it.

Right Off The Freeway Of Highway 94
Reviewed By EMILE D - Guatemala City, Guatemala
This is a chain of coffee shops all over Minnesota. Medium shop with 15 tables, but most of all for takeout. The shops are nicely decorated and the whole setting is very nice, furnishings and tables. Wide variety of coffees, teas, frappes, smoothies, etc. There are also sandwiches, cakes and pies. Every product of good quality. You can also buy Caribeu products like coffee mugs, cups, t-shirts, etc. Ideal to stop for a beverage when traveling through towns. Medium range prices. Recommended!

This is quintessential, American cafe food. It's so good, it's possibly one of the most popular places in town. At times, people are waiting to be seated, so be sure to go early. But if you want great dessert and lots of Americana, go here. It's just off of 94 so it has a great location. Specials are also worth the price.

We stop here frequently. The place had a recent remodel so it has a more updated look and bar seating by the espresso machine along with booths in the back. Service is always great, accurate and friendly. I just wish they had a tiny area for kids like they did before the remodel; it was a great excuse to meet there with friends!

I love all the options of ice cream and the different cone options. Great place to go for many flavors plus you can shop while you eat.
6. Bluestone Grill

Reviewed By CathyDArizona - Mission, Texas
Good fresh ingredients with lots of options. Choice of veggies, chicken, pork, shredded beef, ground beef or shrimp. Choose from brown or white rice, black or pinto beans and lots of other options. There were 4 of us. Two had the burrito option and 2 had the bowl. Two had grilled shrimp, one had ground beef and one the pork. Everything was good. Two different areas to sit in. One was a little loud. Goid value and good portions too.

I recently visited the Big Lake DQ and was met by friendly staff and excellent service. They were busy but my food was still brought out to me very quickly with food that was both hot and fresh. The staff up front were very busy so the worker in grill brought my food out to me with a smile and asked if i needed anything else. I believe his name was either Jeff or Jett. Well done BLDQ!!!

All of the staff work hard to make your experience very posititve. From the Manager, Kathleen to the two employees that helped me with my promo card (Emily and Steph) everyone was smiling and upbeat.

Reviewed By Theresa W - Columbia Heights, United States
The food is always good at this restaurant. Their broasted chicken is excellent! But sometimes the customer service piece could use some work. If you are someone the wait person knows, or you are one of their regular customers, I believe they go the extra mile. This is what was experienced my last visit. When you see the others being served their drinks and also their drinks are part of their food order, but you are still waiting to receive yours and you ordered before the others had shown up, this to me is bad customer service.
10. Pizza Factory

Don't miss Pizza Factory if you are near Big Lake! Some of the best pizza I've had in my life. We had the "top of the line" with sauerkraut....it was a taste sensation! Perfect crust, fresh ingredients. Absolutely wonderful. We did takeout and th location is a bit difficult to find. It appeared to me that most of there business is delivery...no one was sitting at the tables. This has to be the best pizza in the area!
