Sawmill Inn - Brainerd

This restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, reminiscent of your grandmother's home! There are free parking spaces available in the lot behind the building, which are very easy to access. In my 10 years living in BLA, I never realized what I was missing by not stopping here before. The place is filled with history and antique decor, and the food is delicious! The portion sizes are generous, the cinnamon strudel cakes are fantastic, and there are plenty of breakfast options. I will definitely be returning!

We stopped here for lunch while passing through town. The decor is warm and inviting, with a charming vintage vibe. The service was quick and friendly, and our food arrived promptly and was incredibly fresh. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger, while my wife chose the bacon American cheeseburger. Both burgers were fantastic, and my wife mentioned that the bacon was cooked to perfection. The fries were exceptional as well, made from fresh potatoes and cut right in-house. We're really glad we decided to stop for lunch and can't wait to return as soon as we can.

The food reminded me of what my grandma used to make. The staff was amazing, and the overall experience was great. You absolutely must give it a try!

We stopped here and got lunch and breakfast. There are free parking on the back of the main road 1. Let me say that they had set up plastic shields on all stands when entering. It was a very unique grasp of social exclusion measures, but it worked and we applauded it. The stands are a little tight, so from you a big boy or girl you can ask sit in the back dining room. They had many sanitizers and employees wearing mask that was adored. We were out of town, so our waitress took the time to explain menu items to us. We had a blow and the BLT. Both were decent, the frits were the natural cut, but a little soggy. The coffee cake that comes with the agitator was worth hanging around....will not lie. Nice little place the prices were a bit high for the portion and quality. There were 33 bucks for 2 meals and tips. Greater portions and better quality in a perkin would have been less... easy to say. But you're in town to check them.

I don't think it was the best breakfast in 43 miles or whatever the billboard said...the service was pretty slow but I only saw one waitress and we were there on a Monday morning around 10. It was somewhat busy but not packed. The food was adequate but again, nothing special. My partner ordered scrambled eggs but got like an egg omelet??? See picture with pancakes.
