Big Sandy Lodge & Resort

I wish we could give half stars because I'd give 4.5 if i could. Best food by far in the area imo. Friendly waitress, experienced a better than average experience with her.. Had a problem with a missing cue ball while trying to play pool but enjoyed a nice game with my mom once it was situated. Also loved the view of the lake while eating! I did notice some inattentiveness at the front desk and disinterest by another girl on staff as other reviewers observed but nothing that effected my personal experience.

Beautiful area, however until I am able to find a 24 hr store of any type to buy smokes from at midnight this whole area of mn can screw off.

Food ok, but inexperienced server forgot us (Memorial Day weekend dinner). We waited 45 minutes before we could place our order, which only happened because my friend went to the server's station to say we were ready. Previously we could see our server in the back playing on his phone. He openly admitted he forgot us. Kitchen took another 45 minutes to make pasta and sandwiches for us despite other tables who ordered after us getting their food first. We ate quickly due to being hungry from the wait and were ready to go. Maybe service would be better later in the summer once staff have more experience and better training as it seemed to be a training problem rather than a server problem. We saw other problems with servers not knowing how to split bills, what all an entree included, table layouts, and the restaurant's schedule. Wouldn't recommend early in tourist season.

Stopped on a Tuesday evening for dinner eith out of town guests. There was only 1 waitress working, and there were quite a few customers in the restaurant and on the deck. Food was good, as aleays, but the waitress forgot to in the order for our 3 year old. Food was brought to the rest of our table and were told thepizza a would be out in just a few minutes. We all shared our food with the 3 yo while waiting for the pizza, that came over 15 minutes later, after all of our plates had been cleared from the table. The waitress kept apologizing all through dinner for being slow since she was the only one working.
