It was okay, but I was left disappointed. I went specifically to Lindstrom for Swedish food, and I ended up with 2 measly "Swedish" pancakes and bacon and bottle of water. I was there in the beginning of December for an early Saturday lunch during the Swedish festival. I didn't see any real festival going on though. The restaurant had already run out of their squash soup, and I was really looking forward to it. They also charge for small bottles of water. No tap water, just like Europe. That seemed odd for a small town. The ambience was nice, but our table was situated right beside the restaurant's single restroom where a line was formed. The restaurant was made from an old house, so of course there is only one restroom. If I make it back to Lindstrom, I'll skip this place.

Newer Swedish eatery in Lindstom takes an old 1800 building and added a homestyle cafe and ice cream shop on the main drag. Breakfasts are solid - good Swedish pancakes and all the typical fixings, homemade soup and sandwiches are also good.Service was a bit slow and there are a lot of rooms in this place, and some of the rooms are drafty so bring a cover as its an old building.Note: all they have is bottled water and drinks to order... we liked this place and if it was closet to home we would come more often.

Warm and friendly diner with great breakfast food. Highly recommend getting a pot pie on the way out. Delish!

We called in our order for delivery while we were at the Moose Lake Brewery. They only took half the time they quoted us, which was fabulous. My grandson chose a 7 inch bacon pizza, my boyfriend chose the 12 inch special, our companion chose a calzone, and I got a gluten free crust no cheese Hawaiian pizza. Everyone ate all of their food except for me. I also ordered a Small chef salad. That was nice and fresh and really full of flavor. No crummy "pink" tomatoes here. They tasted like they just came from the garden. YUM! My pizza however, lacked flavor. The crust had no flavor. The sauce had no flavor. I was a little disappointed. I only ate 3 pieces of the pizza and the rest went in the trash. I should have just ordered the large chef salad. If you like salads I highly suggest it! The calzone was beautifully baked and well seasoned according to our friend and my boyfriend really enjoyed his pizza. They all looked really good to me. My grandson liked his as well and only left just a couple edges of crust. If you're hungry for pizza (and don't need gluten free or dairy free) I would highly suggest this place. Quick and easy!

We were craving a light lunch and found the perfect spot. Sandwiches, soup and ice cream - gustafs! I ordered the lunch special (soup and/or salad with Sammy) the BLT and chicken wild rice soup were delicious. Thick creamy soup how I like it and served nice and hot. This is such a cute little gem of a restaurant, they host tea parties there as well - something I would definitely like to check out one day. Oh! And how could I forget the cheesecake - mmmm delicious!

The restaurant is a cool, quaint place that has different rooms to dine in. Server was friendly, but food was overpriced for what it was. We had a cold turkey sandwich with chips for $15. They also charge a $1 for bottled water, as they do not serve tap water. This is another business that charges a fee to use a credit card. Won't be returning.

Have eaten here a couple of times, have to say I have ordered the same thing both times. Love the atmosphere of this quaint restaurant. Food is fresh and delicious. Ordered the tomato basil soup and split the Gustaf sandwich with a friend. The homemade cranberry wild rice bread that the sandwich comes on is delicious. Will definitely go back and maybe try something different.

Way overpriced. Sandwiches with crumbly bread and no meat. Lukewarm soup that wasn't fresh and homemade. Owner berating staff and customers in public. By the looks of other reviews, she can't take criticism. Shame as it is a cool building.

The food is way overpriced for what it is; the whole idea of farm to table is completely unreliable in this restaurant. Fully expect your chicken sandwich to be a reheated, crumbly chicken breast at room temperature. When I received my Brick House, it felt as though it was inedible. The avocado was from a packaged container, not mashed from a local farm. As well as the amount of aggression shown from the manager to her young staff - I could hear her from the other room away from the kitchen, almost felt embarrassed - this gave a sort of rotten taste in my mouth, and the image of a quiet, quaint, and beautiful historic building, was most definitely ruined. For example, she yelled at her staff for bringing too many napkins to someones table. Would not come back again, but rather, spend my money at McDonalds, because the teenagers there definitely feel a lot more safer. The foods almost always fresh there anyway.

I was charged an extra 3.5% fee (obviously for people using cards) but I paid in cash. My total was $15.50, for a $14 sandwich. The plain potato chips that came with the sandwich were stale. The sandwich portion was terrible, 2 pieces of processed turkey, processed cheese, a spoiled tomato slice, and I peice of bacon for the entire sandwich. I will never eat there again
