Doughy waffles The cabin itself is super cute and the decor is adorable. There was 6 of us and not one of us even ate half our waffles. We are not that picky of eaters but the waffles were all doughy, not editable. We were...a little surprised that for the price point food was served on paper plates and plastic silverware. We were very disappointed.More

Iron waffle is really great. They have a variety of waffles from savory to sweet. Breakfast on the patio very peaceful, beautiful, and calm.

The waffles are called Liege waffles (pronounced "lee" + "edge" and they are thicker, richer, chewier and crisper with almost a crunch to them however the inside is still soft. The choices for the specific type you want is HUGE! We love the Pigs and...gravy; the Benedict; and the Full Monte. This place is so unique you don't want to miss it. Indoor and outdoor seating although the indoor seating in limited. Go to their Facebook page and see the photos of the menu. Scroll down to a picture of the menu and you can see all the choices. We go there OFTENMore

I love visiting this place. The staff are always smiling helpful and friendly! It is always busy but I'm still able to relax and enjoy myself because the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food is amazing and is so much fun for my kids...to pick out. The coffee is also wonderful! Come see for yourself, you'll love it too!More

Nice place to grab some breakfast, I did avoid it during the pandemic due to their strange lack of care about masks. People would crowd in this small building on top of one another without any masks.

Delicious breakfast waffles and breakfast sandwich. The coffee was EXCELLENT. Friendly staff, quick service. We hope to visit a again this trip for the savory waffles next. Note: they sell their coffee if you need a better alternative to what your resort provides.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Fresh, calm, space inside with colors that were perfectly picked out. Clean and tidy. Iced coffee was great, they had a many options of sugar free syrup. Whole milk latte was also great. Lots of options!

It's a different type of waffle. I did not like it. Really dense. Prices seem high and the portions small.

Very good waffles and lattes. We sat outside and enjoyed our food. The portions looked small when we got our food, but the waffles were dense and delicious. My latte was awesome too. Get the vanilla bean ice cream on top of your waffle!

This place is very small and they are not offering indoor dining. When we were here the staff did not wear masks and most of the people coming into order didn’t have them on either. There was no controlled space and frankly the food wasn’t...worth worrying about my healthMore

We spend a lot of time in the Nisswa/Brainerd lakes area. The Iron Waffle is the top of our list for a breakfast treat! Always have had a great experience and always want to come back for more. While the servings might look small coming...out of the kitchen, the waffles are dense, filling and yummy. I prefer to keep it simple with my favorite Maple Bacon order. My daughter recently tried the pecan cinnamon role waffle and loved it. While any time of year is great at the Iron Waffle, I love to visit during the spring/fall months when it is pleasant to sit outside at the picnic tables and play yard games in the lawn. Really a favorite stop for my family.More

I've never seen such waffle variations! If you're in the Nisswa area, do not miss a meal at this area gem. We went mid-morning. I got the The Bacon Goat: waffle topped with goat cheese, bacon and honey. My wife got the Nut & Nana:...waffle with Nutella, fresh sliced bananas, whipped cream, chocolate sauce and peanuts. (HUGE. Photo attached). A real breakfast hoot. Different and delicious.More

The waffles were really nothing special. They were small waffles. They didn’t even use enough batter to fill to the edges of the waffle iron. After seeing all of the wonderful reviews, I expected them to have REAL maple syrup, not cheap maple flavored syrup.
