Roadtripping takes us a little everywhere. Sometimes you are off the beaten path, and sometimes you get a good place right in the road. In this case, we needed something easy to access since we had a trailer behind us. There is spacious parking. If you need more, there is a gas station right next to the restaurant. It's a homey diner. You walk in, and it's a casual, small-town feel. Greeted with a smile, we snagged a spot in the front dining area. There is a second diving area just beyond the hallway. It's not a huge place. It was still breakfast time. I went for the House Skillet.2 eggs, hashbrowns filled with redpeppers, onions, and smoked sausage. I did ask for the hashbrowns to be extra crispy. It came with 2 pieces of toast. The hash browns were not crispy. They almost seemed undercooked. Luckily, the smoked sausage that was to come in the hashbrowns came just sliced. I pulled the meat and few peppers out and just ate them with the eggs and toast. Hubby got the smoked brisket skillet. He said it was good. It was almost like mine with the different meat. We both got our fill on the food. The service was great. Very attentive. They had a bunch of pies stacked at the counter for purchase. If you need something on the main road, this works just as easy as other things but support local. Visit the Paul Bunyan statue out front. The sign for the restaurant is obvious, so you can't miss it. I wanted to push it up to 4 stars, but maybe I needed a different meal to get there.

This is exactly what you hope for from a roadside diner. There was a bit of a wait on Sunday morning but it was worth it. Solid breakfast, super friendly service, and fair prices. We ordered a Minnesota Wild Rice Omelette, Eggs Benedict, and a stack of pancakes. Everything including the coffee was really good - my only regret was not leaving enough room for pie. Judging by the frequency that pie was being ordered by other customers (many taking whole pies to go) it looks like that's the thing. We will be adding this place on the list of Up North regulars!

We came in with a group for lunch and the server greeted us quickly. Drinks took a while as a few people were missed in the first order but the food was ordered and came out quickly. I ordered a burger and it was delicious! My husband had the special which was chicken fried steak and he also commented that it was so good. The kids meal portion seemed small but otherwise we had a good experience.

A cute little place up north to grab breakfast. The service was great and my coffee was never empty. Their menu has all the basics. It would have been nice to see something a bit more unique offered. I really liked their homemade blueberry syrup. We enjoyed our meals, but I thought the prices were a little steep for what we got.

Way overpriced food. The food is okay, but the owner is arrogant. I do not frequent here very often, maybe 5 times in 12 years, but only because that was the only place close by for breakfast.

The A pine is a great family restaurant near the cabin. The service is fast and friendly! I had the chicken dinner special. My friend had the chili. Both were great! We also had pie for dessert, which was also very good!I look forward to returning to the A Pine the next time we go to the cabin!

So, once you get past the kinda fun interior decor (see pics), what does A-Pine offer?The biggest plus is Annie the server who handles every guest, regardless of age (and believe me, there is some age in this group of customers) with a great welcome, smile and follow ups to the table. Other than that my Maple Bacon Chicken sandwich which was, surprisingly, made with a pressed patty, was nothing special. The bacon was plopped on the sandwich in "rare" style (barely cooked and really greasy) and would prompt any cardiologist immediately order your new set of cholesterol/triglyceride tests. $3.49 soft drinks? Seems a bit"gougy" to me for this suburban Pequot Lakes location.Anyway, friendly service and a fun, "touristy" decor made a big impact on the experience and the average at best food. This Yelpers rating? A 3 Star but barely.

Great family restaurant. We stopped by after playing mini golf across the street. The meals are hearty and delicious (try the BBQ or Patty melt). The server was fantastic. She even remembered us when we came back a year later. Make sure you pick up a pie on your way out! The strawberry rhubarb was the best I've ever eaten.

Great place to stop for breakfast! It's the small town diner feel if that's what you are looking for. Super friendly service and food comes out fresh and hot!! My coffee was always kept full too. Bigger portions are served and justifies the cost. Happy we made the stop as it was well worth it. Just sad we didn't get a pie to go!!
