I took a time machine and found myself in Maple Grove before all of the chains were built. Back when Maple Grove was mostly farmland and there was a lonely restaurant opened that opened in 1958 by two farm brothers. Their sons took over in 2005, but you would be hard pressed to believe you are have not been transported to the last century. I say this in the best possible way. I found this place because I was in the mood for Prime Rib and this restaurant came up in Yelp. This supper club is not one that I had ever heard of, but it seemed worth a try. Dehn's Manor House is a great value! Entrees come with a baked potato (or fries or hash browns for 75 cents extra) OR a house salad with choice of home made salad dressing. You also get a bread basket to boot. The Prime Rib comes with a cup of au jus and horseradish if you want it. No stupid parsley on the plate! This is a supper club. Maybe once upon a time, that meant a fancy night out. However, now it's very relaxed and casual. So how is the food? I thought it was great. The Prime Rib was perfectly cooked (for me), and was juicy and flavorful. It was a bit difficult to cut through the fatty portions, but I'm not sure if that was the fault of the knife or the meat. I did not find it was tough in my mouth. No complaints about either the au jus (not too salty) or baked potato. I do think the casual ole-timey bit might be carried a bit too far. Could we not put the sour cream in a separate container rather than a large packet that resembled a ketchup pack (but bigger)? Could we not remove the aluminum foil from the baked potato (yes, that's quite 1958, but not really needed for serving)? I enjoyed the large cup for pop, but the plastic looked like it had been through about 10,000 dishwasher cycles and I'm sure it has! Could we not replace it with a cup a bit more appetizing? But given the pluses, I'm willing to forgive these small nit-picks. I also really enjoyed the beef barley soup. The broth was flavorful and it was full of super-soft chunks of beef. I loved it. My wife enjoyed her burger, but I had hoped she would try something a bit more adventurous for me to review. Nicely, they did allow her to sub a baked potato for her fries. The service was friendly and the waitress knew most of the people there. It was our first visit, but for most people, it was not their first rodeo. Obviously, this place is doing something right to have been around since 1958 Dehn's feels like it's in the middle of nowhere and there is a huge farm on the side of the restaurant. However, it's only a few minutes away from Highway 610 and Highway 169 on Fernbrook Lane. The website says it's in Maple Grove, but the border of Dayton appeared before we were at the restaurant. Yelp lists the restaurant as being in Osseo. Just let Google Maps find it for you. I really feel like I discovered this place, but it's more that Dehn's discovered me. I've recommended this to my son-in-law who lives in Brooklyn Park, so that's a vote of confidence. One weird thing. They serve beer and wine, but for mixed drinks, you have to supply the liquor; they supply the "setup" for some small price. I don't know all the liquor restaurant rules, but this is one of those that also seems out of the last century too. There is breakfast and a kids' menu too.

The service by Sue was amazing! The food was excellent! I have been going here for 50 yrs I think the prices are a little high. But can not complain about the whole experience!

Dehn's is a legit old school supper club - 4 stars! I really enjoyed my visit to Dehn's Country Manor. They're the real deal - a vintage supper club - established in 1955 and still operated by the original owners. They serve dinner, Sunday brunch, and daily specials along with a full bar. The restaurant is large with lots of real wood paneling, a stone fireplace, lots of seating with banquet style chairs, big vinyl booths...you get the idea. I love it! The food was great and the customer service was first rate. Both of us ordered the BBQ Ribs specials and we weren't disappointed. I get the impression that I would really love the Sunday brunch. It's definitely on my list. Finally, the food prices were amazingly reasonable. I don't know how they do it in this economy with all the crazy food inflation. But I'm happy they're able to somehow pull it off. The fact that they've survived for 69 years says it all. They're obviously doing things right. Thanks you, Dehn's! Thumbs up. -Maxx

So so food, baked potato was tiny and over cooked. Shrimp was decent. Pretty small portions for the price. The steak looked very good which apparently is what they are known for. Service was slow, but friendly and it was busy when we got there.

Great food at great prices. Think comfort food supper clubs. Good service. Only thing I’d change is the dim lighting which is not a big deal. Prime Rib was fantastic and cooked perfectly!

We were here not long ago with medium size group and the food was well let's say the best part of my meal was the glass of water. The BBQ ribs were the worst I've had, extremely over cooked, smelled and tasted like bad ham. With the texture and look of the ribs I'd say they were boiled with liquid smoke and the other issue is they left the silverskin on, 2 bites and it was over. My better half had a bacon cheese burger that was ok. Reason I did not send my meal back was due to them somehow loosing the table order and our food coming out when 3/4 of our group was done eating. Will not be returning.....

I ordered the Center Cut Pork Chops. They were very overcooked. Dry and hard. Three of us at the table ordered this and all were dissatisfied. Will I come again? Probably.

Classic supper club-style, with good food. Lacking a bit on desert options and it would have been nice to be able to order a cocktail.

The five of us went for my birthday dinner. I had broiled shrimp and it was good; salad was average; hash browns were good. Two dinner mates ordered steaks that they said were tasteless, not even seasoned with salt and pepper!! Another at our table had chicken that he said was extremely dry. My husband called and complained about the steaks and they said, "We don't season our steaks." WOW! One and done, we won't be back.

The restaurant has good food.i had steak sandwich and my mom had fried chicken. The affordable prices are good but it’s the waitress Tracie who made the difference. She is very sweet, kind and knowledgeable. She explained the homemade salad dressing and answered all out questions. She always had our water full.Come Tuesday,Friday and Sunday and sit in Tracie’s section.
