Manhattan Beach Lodge

Relaxing up north weekend on the White fish Chain. Unbelievable sunsets. Great menu, great meals. Chef Chads salmon was outrageous. Classic Minnesota lodge. Doesn't get any better than this. Walking distance to downtown Crosslake. Overall amazing experience

My brother and I had our family birthday dinner here and it was a bust! Both couples traveled 2.5 hours for dinner. Our appetizer plates may have been hot but the goods were not! They ran out of the steak special by 530pm and their substitute steak was not cooked as parties requested. People that ordered risotto, it was awful!!!! Please stop and taste with the salt!!!! I'm unsure how each plate ended up with squash and zucchini but we did and it was not hot or even warm! I was so disappointed with the food quality! Please taste what you deliver! No plans to come back!

The most remarkable thing about Manhattan Beach is the absolute inconsistency in food. First time we ate here, I couldn't order any food because the kitchen was out of what I ordered and by the time the server came back to tell us, the kitchen had closed in the mid afternoon so I couldn't order anything to eat and had to watch the rest of my group eat. After a while, we decided to come back and had a few good meals with great service, but the food varied drastically (ex. large shrimp one week and MUCH smaller shrimp with different sauce the next). Tonight, I ordered a simple bacon cheeseburger (Lakeside Burger). Besides the lettuce, tomato, and onion, every single component of the burger was burnt, especially the bun and bacon. It simply wasn't edible. Our server, Gabby, was incredibly nic

The appetizers were barely lukewarm…The long wait and inattentive service detracted from the experience. The bill was also incorrect, with an overcharge for no reason what so ever just because the bartender wanted extra money. Unbelievable.. Even though the food was decent, the overall experience was poor, especially considering the high prices also our bang bang shrimp had zero sauce. Tasted like a dried up fish. It is unlikely another visit will be happening again. Very un happy.

We stay at the lodge every year and it is a great experience. The location is premium! There is a big yard and sandy protected beach. A great dining, a fire pit and free breakfast keep our family year after year. The staff are friendly and always helpful we park a boat on the dock for a week and enjoy lake life with one of the best sunsets available.
