Forest Lake Restaurant & Lounge

Very nice atmosphere and views. Wonderful service (thanks Natasha). Food was absolutely delicious, best I've had in a LONG time! Prices were actually very good considering the exception quality. Will definitely return next time we're in Grand Rapids!

This place sucks. The waitress was very sweet and tried to accommodate my request but they still couldn't get my Denver amulet right. They never saluted the green peppers or the onions. The amulet came out looking like scrambled eggs. The only one that apologized was the waitress even though the manager stood right at the register and took my money for my juice and coffee. So not only didn't I get an apologe from Management but they still charged me after all my group finished there food. I was the only one they screwed up the order. Will not be coming back.

Very very nice Soup and bread stick. We were just driving through town and stopped for lunch on Sunday noon. Ordered to see if we like Soup or not, it was one of the best i ever had. I recommend it to anyone who like Soup.

My clan of four, along with my parents and my sister's family of five all met at Forest Lake for the Mother's Day buffet. I had never been to Forest Lake for anything other than supper, and didn't know what to expect from the buffet. I was pleasantly surprised! This being small-town northern Minnesota there wasn't a ton of imagination in the buffet, which comprised the usual Mother's Day suspects: Eggs Benedict, waffles, hash browns, seasoned potatoes, carved turkey and ham, etc. But what it may have lacked in innovation, it made up for with good execution and friendly service. Buffet items were kept fresh, and were tasty (if a bit heavy, on balance). The scrambled eggs were certainly lighter and more flavorful than the typical bland yellow mass you see at buffets like this. The desserts were probably the weakest point, but since I need to shed a few pounds anyway, that wasn't a big miss for me. All in all, my family was very happy with it, and plan to return next year.
