Fitz's Wandering Pines Eatery & Pub

Cute mom and pop type dinner. Clean, bright space, food was pretty good. Pretty dated, but fits in up north. Service was great. Fish fry highly recommended.

Decided to take my mother out on a date here to cheer her up and we couldn’t have had a better experience!

It’s not always easy to find restaurants that are so accommodating as this one. I have two kids, a toddler and an infant and they helped make the experience so seamless.

The staff were all incredibly welcoming and lighthearted, making us feel right at home from the second we walked in the door even though we were running late for our reservation. Our server was also incredibly attentive to our specific needs, making sure we were doing well often and made sure not to bring my toddler’s sundae before he was far enough into his meal even though it was getting late for the restaurant. They even helped us take some pictures to remember the day and had such wonderful attitudes towards my kids.

The food was delicious as always! I ordered the Alfredo with chicken and it was perfectly portioned and creamy. Thinking about the chicken still makes my mouth water! It was perfectly seasoned and moist. The sweet raspberry tea was also surprisingly yummy and didn’t taste watered down at all. My son had the grilled cheese which he had fun tearing into tiny pieces and counting meticulously. The sundae he got even came with whipped cream and sprinkles which he was very excited about!

Overall, Wandering Pines has never failed to create a welcoming environment and a great dining experience. Will definitely come back again!

Nice log building with knotty pine interior. Possibly the only eatery in town that takes credit cards in 2020. Pleasant atmosphere and service. It was somewhat quiet when I ate there. There is a small attached bar with taps and a couple tv's. Otherwise, has a good small-town diner feel. Close to Lake Ore-Be-Gone for divers.

Really great fish fry! Service here was awesome! Really great meal! Got the fish and shrimp basket all you can eat

I've never had bad service or food! The burgers are a must have.

I have always had a good experience here. Always served in time and never rushed but always quick to see we want a refill or whatever. My only personal request is wonderful fish fry every day. 😁

Don't be detracted by the negative posts; this restaurant is still a gem in Gilbert, MN. We haven't had the pleasure of eating there for several years, but we found it to be every bit as good as it was back then. We used to go there on weekends for the all-you-can-eat fish and shrimp fries. Granted, it is no longer all-you-can-eat, but they provide you with a hefty serving that is more than enough food for the average person. We had the shrimp combo which featured 8 nice size butterfly shrimp, along with baked potato (or fries or chips), and coleslaw. The shrimp was fried to perfection (not greasy) and was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent; truly a 5 star experience for my party of four.

Good food, right sized portions. Extremely friendly staff and very clean. Enough choices. Convenience fee charged for card use, which is totally fair.

Always a great place to eat. Food never fails and is always great. Service on point. Would highly recommend.

Their food is awesome. But they need more servers. Weekends there seems to be only one with occasional help. But the wait wasn't horrible. Their fish fry is anazing

Super staff & great food. Hidden gem. Will stop again on every trip north. Wish they did breakfast.

Two servers only. Remember to be nice, they are over worked. We went before dinner rush thank God, bit they got hit fast. Good burgers! Server recommended the Alfredo and after tasting my nieces, I wish I would have gotten it! That White Raspberry Velvet cake is outrageous!!! Dining room is open, can see everyone, I would go back for sure! Don't remember my servers name, (Rude I know!) But she did great for the spontaneous rush she was served!!

On Friday, I had the All You Can Eat fish and shrimp basket w/fries + coleslaw. Hands down best ever! I made reservations and glad that I did. Long line. The parking lot was packed! Even though it was super busy, we received our meal on a timely basis. The wait staff is quick, responsive and friendly. :) Very pleased and would recommend to anyone.

My husband and I stopped in this evening. What a nice place!!! The food was delicious!! Most of all, our waitress was AWESOME!!! WE don't recall her name, but she is attending St Thomas and moved here in 8th grade she said. She brought us out on the house, their home made chips with sauce.. so nice!! This was our first time in this area.. we will be back!!! And possibly the owner/boss also came around to our booth and checked in with us. GREAT!!!! 5 STARS!!!!

Very good food great waitress good price. Will definitely go again

Great service! Great food.

It was a small group get together after a small funeral service. The fish and the homemade potato chips were wonderful. I would definitely go back for the great service and food.

Rib basket and nachos were delicious.. friendly waitress!

Very nice and clean restaurant, always have good food, decent prices and excellent service.

We enjoyed great food. Service was fine, as was the beer and drink selection. Check out the Friday and Saturday night all you can eat fish and/or dinners.
