Who doesn't love fletchers? I always have! I grew up in MN and looked forward to every summer coming out to the lake and spending awesome days at this amazing establishment!! I seriously love this place. I had a horrifying experience this summer and this should have NEVER happened. I was harassed and bullied by some awful manager named Alex w/a vendetta to kick me out b/c I had a 10lbs service animal (dog) w/me. I'd give this place 10 out of 5 stars if I could, until I was singled out and so deeply discriminated against. Who picks on another human being for having a disability? Insane.I was kicked out of fletchers old lake lodge in Spring Park, MN 8/25/23 just 30 min after arriving, I explained that she is a service animal, not a dog. To which the manager Alex said, "that's just silly!" He asked what service does she provide? To which i said, "she is medically trained to assist me with my needs for medical purposes to better my life"To which he stated, "you need to leave now! In fact, I'm getting a cop to throw you out!"I said, "The cops? Really? A tad excessive, don't you think, Alex? You sound crazy. What is your problem? I told you she's a service animal, now leave me alone. You even have a damn sign outside stating they are allowed."The cop came over and was nice to me. I told him i don't know what more he's looking for me to say, as i already told 2 managers now that she's a service animal trained to assist me for my medical purposes, then showed him on the minnesota state government ADA website the legal requirements.ADA FEDERAL LAW & MN STATE LAWYou cannot ask what medical condition I haveYou are not required to have documentation The animal does NOT need to wear a vestVerbal explanation is all that is requiredThe cop went back over to the manager and tried to deescalate the situation. Then the manger again asked me AGAIN the same bs questions. What service does she provide? I said I already told you! She is trained to assist me with my disability for medical purposes. What more do you want? You cannot ask me any further questions and this is harassment! You're forcing me to tell you and announce to everyone in this establishment that I have ********(medical condition) and she alerts me when it's medically necessary? This is so messed!Alex said, well, you didn't say that before. I said, "yeah, because I don't have to. I don't have to tell you about the traumatic auto accident I was in, leaving me with permanent hearing loss. I don't have to tell you about how traumatized i was from it, or all the other horrible medical complications and other disabilities I've had to suffer through because of this terrible accident! I was nearly killed!! Now you've violated my civil rights, and I have to deal with this abusive treatment? This is bull!All I wanted was to attend my friends birthday party and you are acting like such a jerk! I could call my lawyer right now and sue! You can't ask these personal questions! You don't know the law! You are a total bully! No owner would ever treat a patron like this. I grew up loving this place! What is the matter with you? Never have had a single issue here, ever, in the 25+ years I've been coming here. Until you Alex, up on some high horse on some "manager" power trip vendetta, how can you think it's okay to treat a human being like this?"To which the manager Alex looks at the cop and said, "kick her out! You were welcome, but now you and your dog have to leave!"The cop just said to me, "now I have to ask you to leave. This is private property and they don't need a reason to ask you to go. I know you're upset, but that law, I do know. They can ask you to leave for any reason. I'm sorry I don't know specifics on service animals or the ADA." I just started crying. This whole situation was so terrible and traumatizing. I said, "Even if it's infringing on my rights with the ADA? We will just see about that!" I said. "call the owner, I highly doubt they want to go down this road. I spent 2 hours getting ready, I drove all the way out here (30 minutes 1 way) to celebrate my friends birthday and I just walked in, I've had 1 drink, minding my own business and you're kicking me out for no reason? For having a disability?! On what grounds?! This is lunacy!"Manager Alex shouts, "You and your dog are not welcome. Leave!"None of this is okay. So with that, I was forced to leave. They refused to call the owners. I'm still horrified and disgusted by the way I was treated last night.Seriously, what did they gain from this? Alex causing such drama in the middle of the patio. And for what? Whitney was in my purse, not making a sound. I just had ordered a second drink, which I had to leave on the bar. I spend money here year after year. So many memories.I am sure the owners are as horrified reading this, as I was experiencing this traumatizing nightmare, first hand. Devastating as this was my favorite place, too.

I enjoyed the dinner alone as my colleague got sick and couldn't join me. The local famous Walleye fish dish was just fine. The cocktail and my beer were also tasty and the service was very good. The seating was traditional and comfortable and the setting, although it was dark and hard to see outside, seemed like a very nice place to be in daylight and during summer. So I will probably head back here again in the future.

An institution on Lake Minnetonka, Lord Fletchers offers an amazing patio and strong drinks. Prices are high and while service is friendly, food items on the patio are decidedly subpar. Catering to its Boomer and Trust Fund crowd, the people watching makes up for the less then average food.

Ambiance is the best thing about this place. It's really cool to sit and look out at the lake with the docks and the boats and the absolute CROWD of people downstairs in the summer. People watching was pretty great. Lord Fletchers is split into two levels - the ground floor where the docks are and there's more fun food and beers, like cheaper good fun. Then there's the restaurant and patio upstairs that's way fancier and more expensive. Two of us got the chicken and wild rice soup and idk they must have been made in two batches cause my dad's was SUPER salty but mine tasted fine. The walleye dish I had was excellent. But so pricey!Our servers were pretty friendly and minnesota nice :) but they were a little on the slow side. It was fun, and def a nice place to visit as out of towners but I feel like for the price you're paying for more of the ambiance than the food. The bread was good at least. But I definitely had some food envy looking down at the people eating at the docks and their fries lol.

The view is amazing and I loved their outdoor patio. However the food wasn't all that, their wings are okay. The drinks are amazing, opt in for the cups, it's only a few dollars difference and they're great souvenirs. Service could have been better though, our waitress wasn't very attentive.

Fletchers is always a party, so if you're looking for a good time, this is the place to go! The service is pretty fast, they have separate food runners and waitresses, and will bust their own tables, so they appreciate when you help out!

Very expansive menu. Wonderful walleye. Great service! Friendly service!Options are plentiful.

A Lake Minnetonka staple! Here's the breakdown:Location: 5/5Can you beat boating all day, and then stopping by Fletcher's for food and drinks on their massive waterside patio? I don't think so! It can be tricky to snag a spot here on busy days, but when you do, it's worth it.Food & drink: 3.5/5 Expect typical bar food and elevated prices - it does the trick! I was pretty bummed out about the Buffalo shrimp I got last time - just 5 shrimp for almost $20. But others at our table loved their French fries and sandwiches/wraps. They also make some great drinks - again, at a steep price - but refreshing and summer-y!Service: 3.5/5 This can be a bit hit or miss here: it always feels a bit rushed and understaffed. The place is packed most of the time, so be prepared to wait a bit!

I went to Lord Fletchers this evening with friends. I chose the unbreaded walleye. It came with the AuGratin Potatoes and a side of broccoli. The whole meal was over cooked. The broccoli was basically mush it was so over cooked. The potatoes had been over cooked with no cheese still present. It was as tho it had been cooked yesterday and served today. Very dry. The Walleye was also extremely overcooked and dry. My margarita glass was cracked. Once upon a time Lord Fletchers was a very fine restaurant to go to for a nice meal. Most of tonight's customers were all over 65 and while the service was good the whole place had a "Past it's prime vibe". This is still the place to go to in the summer for the outdoor bar food and grill. For the prices that are charged I expect more. I think this is the last time I will visit here.
