The barn is a staple of the Brainerd lakes area. The food is amazing + affordable and the service has always been good. It truly is a unique place to stop for locals and visitors alike.Also, you have to save room for homemade pie!

There was very limited seating and parking here, but the food was very good. I ordered 2 pancakes with bacon, the pancakes were very big and fluffy, and were amazing with jelly. Came with some butter on top which tasted amazing. The service was fast and the waitress was very nice. The prices were pretty reasonable as well. If you are looking for a nice diner experience, definitely go here!Parking: One street parking spot and limited regular parking

Best pie in town! I love the buttermilk pie. My wife is way into the cherry. Where else you gonna get a maid Rite Sunday in Minnesota?
Food was just OK. I had a b.l.t. and my husband had a burger. Both were average. The waitress was nice. The place was filthy!!! Kind of hard to enjoy the meal while looking at greasy black counters and sticky floors. It’s also cash or check only. Maybe all the positive reviews were because of pie. They did look amazing and definitely homemade, however we did not have any.

Loved our lunch today! Stopped in with our friends on our way through town. We really loved their famous Maid Rite sandwiches! OMG they were delicious. And our friends loved their burger and hot beef sandwich. We had seen the rating on yelp and pulled into the parking lot and I thought this could be sketchy. But walked inside and were warmly greeted by our lovely server and made to feel so welcome. The other diners were also super friendly. We got the history of the Maid Rite from another diner. The chef even came out to greet us. Very cool home town experience. Wish I'd had room for the pie!! Next time.

This is a small dine-in place in Brainerd, MN. I would say the locals loved this place as it stayed busy the whole time we were there. The place is small. Their chicken strips were good. The porkchop I had was just alright. Not something I would remember. I wish I had tried their pies though because it looks delicious. The server was very nice and accommodating. I wish the place is bigger though. I felt very uncomfortable when I was eating on the booth.
Excellent homestyle food!
