Mugg's Of Mille Lacs - Wahkon

I had a fantastic experience! We visited on the Sunday before Labor Day around 12:30 PM, and the place was packed. Every employee I saw was working incredibly hard to ensure that all the customers were taken care of. My drink was never empty. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderful, but it was the outstanding staff that truly made the difference.

The food is great, the bar is lively, and I would definitely return to this restaurant!

When she returned to take our order, we inquired about the ingredients in their Bloody Marys. She gave us a look and responded, "Uhhh... vodka? And Bloody Mary mix?" as if we were foolish for asking. When she brought our drinks, she placed them all in the corner of the table, leaving us to distribute them ourselves. At that point, we decided to leave due to the poor service. We informed her that we would not be staying for food, to which she responded, "Well, the wait for food is an hour and a half!" before walking away with our menus. We had intended to spend the whole afternoon enjoying a meal and watching the Vikings game, but instead, we left after having just one drink. We ended up going to Bayview, where the service was fantastic!

Had a wonderful feed here after hours spent at Hennepin. This place caught my eye when I was driving to the state park, so when I asked if Lena and I could sit outside and got an enthusiastic “yes!”, I was sold. Simple burger and beer for me. Hand made patty’s were taaaaaasty! Fires were hot and a mix of size/crunchiness which I appreciate. My waitress was Coral and she was 10/10, kind and bubbly in a genuine way. The place was hopping, but I enjoyed the outdoor patio with a slight drizzle. A faux camp fire warmed me from time to time. (No phones for dinner tonight, but if you saw it, you’d be drooling)

The food was excellent and the service was decent. The bar itself is nice, but I was surrounded by locals (evidenced by the fact that they all knew each other) who had zero volume control and basically acted like 9 year olds. Aside from the staff, I felt like I was the only adult in the room. I so rarely go out to these small town bars because the locals are such idiots, but that’s rural America for you.
