Awesome experience in this restaurant. We were happily greeted by waitress. We were attended perfectly and our orders were taken carefully. The food is spectacular and delicious!! And servings are generous! Highly recommend this place to anyone passing through this area. The only downside is that its ONLY CASH!! No Cards!

My father’s and my fist time here. 1/26/2024 Friday 4PM: Greeted by 2 lovely women servers with beautiful smiles. Cozy midsized restaurant with 3/4ths of the tables full of customers. Everyone was having the Friday special of all you can eat fish or shrimp for $9.99. My dad and I ordered the special as well. It came with baked beans, coleslaw, dinner roll, choice of potato, and tartar sauce. Our plates arrived with a mountain of food. I noticed another customer had a pile of onion rings that looked delicious, so I asked one of the lovely servers if their onion rings were as good as they looked. She confirmed they were indeed. As my father and I were discussing the nice restaurant and excellent food, she surprised us with 2 onion rings for us to sample. That’s excellent service. We were so full from our first plate full, the all you can eat option, isn’t really an option. Lol. We needed a to-go box. My father insisted he pay for our meals and left a 35% tip which say a lot coming from my dad. As we drove off, my dad said he would like to go back again. He really enjoyed the food and service. I agree and said next time we will have to get the special with onion rings. Rating: 10/10 on food, service, atmosphere and price. Perfect all around.

Wow real Home cooking!! If you want real good food and service with a smile this is the place to be! Kids and I went there and a Thursday evening at 7:00 pm and it was busy! Food was fresh and hot. I’m bummed I didn’t have room for pie.

I’ve been going here the past 10+ years stopping before the camping trips. Great service, portion sizes (especially their pancakes), and atmosphere. They are known for their stuffed hash browns and 50¢ coffee. Just be aware that they accept cash/check only (there is an atm available).

We had a very nice experience at the Sportsman Cafe. They gave us very generous portions of fries with our order. We ordered onion rings and the plate was filled with them. They were not super greasy and nicely battered. I ordered the sportsman’s burger with pepper jack cheese and it was great with the BBQ sauce. The waitress was nice and pleasant to us too. We would recommend this cafe and will be back if we are in the area again.

We come through Deer River from Green Bay Wisconsin headed to visit family in North Dakota. We stop here every time and it doesn’t matter what we order; the food is absolutely amazing. It’s truly old school- homemade with love and care. The prices are great, the food and the portions are great, the service is great and the people and atmosphere are great. We can’t say enough about this place. The hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes is amazing! There’s no deli shaved meat here, nope. It’s chunks of roast beef with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy. You’ll never find anything like this is all of Wisconsin! Best place EVER!! You must come here for sure!!! We love it!!

About an 1.5 hour away from #redlakemn and about 3 hours from the twin cities there’s a diner/ Cafe where time seems to stop and hearty meals are served with care with all the old-time home town feels.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
That place is The Sportsman’s Cafe in Deer River MN.
Service was good but more, it felt like a dining room at home.
Come hungry. Portions are huge. The Hot beef and potatoes were a hit. The pancakes were massive and served with pizza cutter
The grilled cheese I ordered was modified with some sass (Jalapenos) skip the fries, mainly because they were basic and I’m sure there’s something better on the menu.
The chocolate malt was a huge hit and also looked adorable.
Dress cozy. Slow down. Enjoy a humble meal. It’s worth a drive. Small town, drive-outs to dine-in.
