Lazy Moose Grille

Authentic, local atmosphere that welcomes visitors. I love breakfast for any meal and husband likes soup and sandwiches for lunch so this was the perfect place for us. I had the French toast bacon combo. OMG the French toast was huge and delicious. Thick bread covered in butter and dipped in syrup. Crispy bacon. Calories mean nothing when I have a meal like this. Husband got a chicken Caesar wrap and chicken wild rice soup. We were both quite happy with our meals. Staff was great. Meals came out quickly. I liked how the staff was all working together and helping each other out. Great teamwork. Great stop.

We stopped at Moose Lake to participate in their Agate Days and see what that was all about. Digging dod agates eventually makes you mighty hungry so we stopped here for some food. Our waitress told us that about 95% of the menu was made in house. Sure, I've heard that before but I was pleasantly surprised by how true it was when we got our food. Their homemade pickles were amazing. Breads, french fries, sauces, etc. all homemade. Now your probably are thinking of everything here is homemade so prices must be astronomical but in reality prices are very fair. The service here is also small town friendly. Hard working, interested in your experience, committed to your enjoyment of the meal, you could tell they took great pride in their hometown restaurant. We enjoyed our visit and we will be back the next time we find ourselves looking for some more agates. I overheard that the Butterscotch Pie is amazing, I didn't see it in the cooler on this stop so I'll have to come back to check again!

This place has a great cozy, up north vibe and I was absolutely blown away by how good my breakfast was! I got the veggie omelet with French toast as my side. I love when there's an easy option to mix sweet and savory at a breakfast / brunch restaurant!Service was super friendly, and they have a cute little shop of home decor that was fun to look through on our way out.

If you want a friendly, down home place to eat, this is it! I've been here twice and both times we were greeted and served promptly. The food is straight forward American food. The pies are wonderful. You can have pancakes for lunch or get the walleye.It's a quick couple miles off I35 and definitely worth getting off the road for.They have a cute gift shop too.

This place gets a 10/10 for me. 100% worth a short detour off 35 if you're going up to Duluth or coming back and want some great homemade food. The Northwoods omelet and eggs Benedict (on homemade English muffin) were both incredible. The hollandaise sauce was so good on both of them. Definitely get the cinnamon French toast as your side for the omelet and/or the special hash they make. They also brew their own coffee here. They also sell cranberry wild rice bread and buns and have a little gift shop with MN goods. Will definitely be making this a regular stop on the way to the north shore.

This is a must stop in Moose Lake! Super warm and cute welcoming charm. Plenty of very comfortable seating. They offer various crafts, gifts, and goods for sale too.The things I was most excited about is that food items are made from scratch! Even the coffee beans are roasted there and ground fresh before brewing. Yes, you can buy coffee beans from them. They use real cream, butter and, for an upcharge, real pure maple syrup. They also boast homemade jam, fresh bakery goods, and Kemps ice cream.I've been here twice now. I didn't ask, but will next time, about what else can be ordered that's not on the menu. I inquired on oatmeal and they do have it, different types too, but I opted for the steel cut. If you order a bowl, you will not go away hungry! I got mine with sides of cream, brown sugar, and crazins. The only thing I can think of to suggest would be walnuts for some crunch. My 2nd visit I had the apple wild rice pancake and bacon. It was very good. Not as filling as oatmeal but pleasant. One more strip of bacon would be nicer. You are looking at around $15 to $20 for breakfast all said and done so it's not exactly cheap but I feel worth the quality as a treat but maybe not a multiple time a week visit, my personal opinion of course. Be aware, they do add on an "optional" 12% gratuity to be split between all staff. Who is going to ask it be taken off though? Kinda stinky in my book. Anything you tip beyond that goes to your server.(I just like to be in control of my tipping and not feel like it's a way for owners to skimp on wages and place that burden on their patrons. We also already get a mandatory charge when you use credit cards most places as well. Aren't these things cost to do business? I just don't like having to do math with all the add ons and upcharges to figure out what my bill will be. Rant over.)I'd like to try lunch sometime but I don't think my schedule will ever allow it unfortunately so maybe someone can update with that. All in all, best place for a relaxing sit down meal with pleasant/friendly/good service.

Stopped again after our annual north shore family camp. Always good. Great better than standard fare. Delicious breakfast! Great service!

Food wasn't bad, but definitely not as good as reviews and social media posts would have you believe. We ate their once when we bought a home in the area, while we were waiting to outfit our house with cooking items/etc.. No one in my Family was impressed.My biggest issue with the Restaurant was the service. Slow and not very friendly - they managed to upset my wife which is not easy to do.Then the bill came and I was even more bugged, as the food was overpriced for what was served. That wasn't to surprising though, as I knew that from the menu. What got me bugged was that they added an automatic gratuity - we were not a large party - typical Family of 4, though my wife was eating for two. The service was not worth any gratuity - but I wasn't going to ask them to remove it. We just won't be repeat business. They also added a dining in fee that was not listed on the menu. As we were leaving I was thinking next time maybe we'll order to go if we order again, but on a sign by the register I saw they have a take out order fee. That clinched to for me. We haven't dined their since, and don't plan to go back.

AMAZING food!! Reasonably priced, we were pleasantly surprised! Pies were delicious too!!

My wife and I shared a plate of the tenderloin sandwich and a side of Kalevala and both were very delicious! We also shared a slice of homemade strawberry Rhubarb pie. So good!! I wish I would have taken pictures. The service was great and the attendant provided us with great recommendations. The only negative thing which was no fault to the restaurant was a very fussy child in the next booth that cried a lot. We will definitely stop there again the next time we drive that way.
