About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
Maynard’s is locally owned and operated, and prides itself in giving back to the communities it serves. Known for the best views of Lake Minnetonka and the best waterfront dining in the state, Maynard’s is a place everyone can enjoy. Our American Casual menu is sure to suit even the most specific appetite, and our bar area is a great place to gather for the big game and enjoy our award winning happy hour.

Maynard’s is a place the locals can call home while still serving as a main tourist attraction of the Twin Cities Metro. We pride ourselves in a quality product at a fair price, but believe our consistent service and attention to detail (even amongst the big summertime crowds) sets us apart.

    Everything was great except the booth we were seated at in the bar. It was different sized on each side and a very high traffic area. I would not sit there again.

    We had a high school reunion gathering for lunch -- only four of us. What a delightful experience! Food was delicious, and our service (Jasmine) was the best!

    Extremely busy Saturday early evening, service was fantastic, food was very good, very noisy due to lots of people. Still all and all an excellent diner out.

    Maynard’s is always a great choice for lunch, appetizers, or a full meal. The menu is great and servings are generous and consistently well-prepared. Now that the large parking lot across the street is open, finding an space is a breeze (there’s a nominal hourly rate).

    Always busy on the weekends, weather was perfect for outside dining. We sat inside. Reservations help but just overall a fun place.
