We've eaten at "The Joint" twice. Once today, and once last summer. The only reason we went back was because the service and food were excellent.You might have to wait a bit to get the food, because the one waiter has to work his butt off, but he does a great job. One of the best waiters I've ever encountered. The food today was simply great. I had the taco salad and the wife had broiled walleye with sweet potato fries. The fries were cooked to perfection, the walleye was moist and tasty, and the taco salad was top notch. I know, so many superlatives, but I can't say enough about the food or the waiter. Well worth the drive. And at $4.00, the Leine's were just icing on the cake.

Hate to say it but the new owners do not have it figured out. The steak basket increased in price by 50% and is close to the price for prime rib, etc. The lettuce in my salad was so old I would not eat it, the hamburgers, a huge step down. High priced steak specials. This is bennetville mn not Mpls..

I can say for sure the burgers are not frozen. Stop by and Cindy will show you the burgers! Good stuff!!!!

50% increase on the steak basket? Really? How about a salad with fresh lettuce instead of a week old? The Broasted Chicken used to be good. Now it is smaller portions and overcooked. I am not sure new owners are customer friendly or appreciate quality food. Very sad.

Very disappointing. I have always loved the hamburgers here and last week I ordered one and they are now frozen patties with grill marks on them. I could have gone to Burger King. Not a good idea to go cheap on the food.

We stopped in on June 22, 2012 for dinner. The place was packed but we were seated upstairs. The service started out ok, but once we received our food, our waiter was not seen again. Our food was only luke warm. It had pretty good flavor. We had to go down to the bar to pay our bill. The cleanliness of the upper room and upper bathroom was terrible. It needs to be cleaned!!!

My husband and I pulled up on our motorcycle on a friday on our way back from Duluth and thought it would be a good place to eat, we walked in and were ignored and never waited on we waited 15 min and watched 2 other couples walk in and get waited on as soon as they walked in be four we figured our business wasn't welcome. We have a daughter in Duluth and will make many trips up there and on the way back we usually stop to eat, but we know that we will never stop here again for the terrible service. They could have at least acknowledged that we were there when they looked right at us.

The employees are friendly, service is great, food is good, prices are unbeatable, and the best of all, the wine pour is to the top of the glass! This is our favorite restaurant when we are at the lake.

Great food, and service!! Prices are good too!
