Great 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.
Loved 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.
Outdoor patio area is awesome but does get pretty packed for actual seats during really nice days especially in summer
A frequent stop for our family. Lakeside dining and/or cocktails . Love the seasoned sour creme dip with waffle fries !
I love the parking boat outside instead of parking car! Seems like Amsterdam or Venice outside here
Patio 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.
Sunday brunch plus the included ice cream dessert . Oh and the cranberry mimosa was awesome too.
A little outside of the city but this place is always a party. Great get away to feel the lake life of Minnesota.
If 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!
Good and filling food. Disinterested staff ...probably because all of their customers are coming from the lake drunk.
Frannie's chicken salad is the best. Big salad with a good portion of coconut encrusted chicken breast .
Get the firecracker shrimp !
Eating outside is the best, but it is even better when there are waffle fries with Maynard's special sour cream condiments!
The pepsi is great when you forget your id at home and they card you.
Summer is high season for cougar hunting at this very active Game preserve. Best bait: a large, expensive boat.
The cheese curds were delicious. Steak was good, turkey sandwich was great.
Brews burger everything actually. Great Mac n Cheese
Great 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
Everything was delicious
Fun to go to in the summer to enjoy a space outside.
Good food and atmosphere with awesome lake views !
The outdoor seating is great! Perfect summer spot!
I 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
Awesome view ..good food and drinks..try the wings ..
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.
Steak bites & Cajun Pasta are amazing!
Great Outdoor Spot ! Get the chicken salads
Buffet food is hit and miss. Asparagus spears are great.
I had pork chops here, and they were amazing, even the next day when I had the leftovers!.
5 words: Sunday Brunch and Outdoor Patio !
Best salad ever
Try the steak bites & Cajun pasta !
Chicken Wings , burgers , chicken sandwiches
Sun, cocktails , sparkling lake and music ! What more could you ask for on a Saturday?
Great outdoor seating by the water. Frannie's chicken salad is my favorite.
Salmon asparagus salad is wonderful
Outdoor summer fun
Love the 3pm-6pm HH in the bar ! Apps are cheap and so are drinks :)
Sit outside or inside. They have both!
Cities 97 music on the water in the summer!
Best summer place ever - great HH specials for winter!
Second 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.
The cheese curds !
The spicy green beans are excellent!!
Best ranch dressing I've ever had!
Ask for Mollie Gallagher, best server there.
Try the Mexican Standoff. Where the Corona meets the Margarita .
The Walleye Fingers are JJ approved!
Josh the server at the bar is a douche.
Get the strawberry shortcake. They make their shortcake fresh, from scratch. - Jennifer
Great burger and they give a scoop of ice cream for lil kiddos that eat there food! Very good place. Only con is parking. - Lucas Henriksen
Recommend early or late day kayaking on the upper lake. Boat traffic is minimal, lake is gorgeous this time of year. - Mark Wagner
Great late night Happy Hour! Also great dinner food! - Mark Nazigian
Stores next to Port, with some restaurants and bars. It’s very nice - Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate
