About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Neighborhood gem
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.

This place is amazing….I feel it is one of the best run restaurants in the Twin Cities…so consistent, nice variety, super wait staff and the prices are below what one would expect. This is a winner in all aspects of an evening out. Fortunately I live close and can go often.

Planning a gathering on the wharf is a great venue for such, if the weather cooperates you'll have a great time and very good meal.
