The restaurant just re-opened under new management. The new menu features homemade appetizers and comfort food as well as the traditional burgers and steaks. They also feature a homemade daily special. We tried all four homemade appetizers... WOW! Words can't describe how good they were. I say the cream cheese wontons were the best, my wife says the homemade onion... More

I was on a course. We sat in the restaurant. Lovely lakeside setting. Older property with personality. Food and service was good. Didn't stay overnight so cannot speak to the accomodation.

We have not stayed in any of the cabins, but have used the campground. We had our tent set up in one of their lakeshore lots. They have a beautiful resort on a lake that has great fishing. They have a swimming/ boat launch area, playground, and a wonderful bar/restaurant area.

Good food and friendly atmosphere. Lots of variety, bartender mixes up a "mean" drink.

We recently stayed at this resort during fall hunting season. We haven't been to this place in about 6 years and were eagerly waiting to return. We had been there for a family reunion with many good memories. I cannot tell you now how much this resort has deteriorated. Staffed by locals with major attitude, we were treated to towel-less...

We recently had our 260 person wedding at Silver Rapids Lodge and I don't have enough great things to say. The staff helped me the whole way through the planning of the food, beverages and lodging. It has been 4 days since the wedding and people are still emailing and calling us raving about the food and hoping we can... More

We recently visited the Silver Rapids Lodge's restaurant just outside of Ely on White Iron Lake for lunch as we visited friends staying at their cabin in the area. The restaurant came recommended by our friends who had eaten there several times previously, and it did not disappoint. The setting is exactly what you'd expect for the northeastern Minnesota resort... More
