Service: Our waitress was top-notch and understood the menu with excellent suggestions. Atmosphere: The bar and restaurant were separated from each other, and the restaurant area was easy to carry on a conversation.
Delicious food, nice atmosphere. Friendly, pleasant staff.
My significant other rates their hamburger as “Damn Good” which means they are the best anywhere. The wait staff are the best. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The ambiance reflects the wildlife found in the area and it is so relaxing at Good Times. We will be back.
We had such amazing service & food!! This place is super cute, log cabin feel.... great salad bar, amazing broasted chicken, home made dinner rolls & broiled walleye. Can't wait to come back!
We had Good Times cater our October 5, 2024 wedding and were beyond thrilled with everything! Sarah Glassrud was incredible from beginning to end. They were recommended to us by a previous wedding. I had researched many caterers and was incredibly impressed with how this restaurant handled everything. We had a FREE tasting where we could choose ANYTHING on the menu and they would make it for us and whomever we wanted to bring. Everything was homemade down to the salad dressings. We took our daughters and were offered free drinks while she brought out our food in courses. It was served family-style and I cannot tell you enough how delicious this food is. She then sent it all home with us when we were done. For FREE. We chose buffet style, 2 meats (stuffed chicken breasts and beef tenderloin tips), red skin garlic mashed potatoes, oven roasted green beans, strawberry poppyseed salad and homemade rolls. Price? 17.50/plate!!! And? we got to take home any leftover food. We didn't get a chance to take our food home because the horrible venue owners (Berwood Hill Inn) threw it out. Sarah's staff was incredible. They had a gluten-free, dairy-free dinner ready for my niece, which she said was incredible. Every single guest at our wedding came up to us and said it was not only the best wedding food they'd ever had, it was some of the best food they'd ever had! When Sarah found out the venue threw our food away, she asked me to please make a reservation at their restaurant, email her that it is us and she will remake our wedding dinner for Ryan and I for FREE. Honestly, I cannot say enough about this experience. Class Act Because of the awesome experience, my husband and I have eaten there twice since and the food continues to be incredible. Their ribeye is seasoned and super juicy. The fried chicken is light and very tender. Their salad bar and homemade soups are delicious no matter which one we try! Their service is also totally on-point. This is our new favorite down-home place to go to, even though it's 45 minutes away from our home.
Pretty good salad bar for lunch. Friendly service. Nice inside, well kept, clean, not run down and dive bar ish at all. Really good experience.
What fabulous food and service. I loved the fresh salad bar was so fresh and good. Thank you. We'll be back when traveling through.
We used Good Times to caterer our wedding and the food and service was excellent! From food tasting, questions & adjustments, to the day-of set up and food everything was wonderful. We received many compliments on the food! highly recommend for your catering needs!
