About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Waitress came by several times asking if ready to order. We hadn’t gotten together for aware so asked for a few minutes She was very friendly and courteous. Gave us all the time we needed. Took order and was out in reasonable time. No long wait. Must say we had 3 deserts. They were out of this world. Thank you.

    The food was excellent. We had a Crab & Shrimp roll and a High & Humble burger. There were a lot of good food options to choose from. The prices were very reasonable. We ate inside, it was very nice.

    The service and food were so damn good again tonight. This evening we had the Szechuan green beans, buffalo chicken wrap with Italian fries and the Thai chicken bowl where I substituted the brown rice for linguine noodles at the servers recommend. She made one heck of recommend as that bowl might just be my new favorite item at Maynard’s! It was delicious. So flavorful! It never hurts to make reservations for this place if you plan on sitting inside as tonight was a cool and rainy mid-May Monday night and the place was packed. I’m glad we had a reservation otherwise they were quoting 20 to 25 minutes at 5:45 PM.
