    We've loved eating at this location over the past 10+ years. The ambience is almost unbeatable. The food at Juniper's was great. The staff are friendly, but the "counter service model" is not for us, and not at this price point for the food. We want to be waited on while we relax at our table and enjoy the awesome ambience. We felt like we were doing all of the work ourselves, and perhaps our most bizarre observation was that some of the staff "couldn't take" our dirty plates. Very strange, and quite bothersome as our table was quite small.

    The cutest and most delicious restaurant in Lanesboro. Unfortunately for us, it was raining and we couldn't enjoy all the beautiful outdoor dining space, but the food made up for it. We even sat on the outdoor wrap around deck with a cocktail, while it was raining. Food is absolutely fantastic. I had the walleye with broccoli and a delicious margarita! They definitely know what they are doing at the Juniper!

    Juniper's is delightful and a great stop in Lanesboro. It's clear that the owners care deeply about their staff and community and want to deliver a top-notch experience. We had a lovely time and will absolutely return. Food, drinks, service, and environment were all authentic and stellar. Thanks for a great anniversary dinner!

    I love traveling across the country and sampling the local cuisine. This restaurant in the small town of Lanesboro has definitely surprised me. Juniper’s is absolutely fantastic. We make it a point to eat there every time we’re in town. Food is fantastic…this weekend I had the best Walleye dinner I’ve ever eaten! Every meal I’ve had there has been outstanding. Staff is top notch and attentive. Even the owner stopped by several times to see how things were. I love the owner’s story and passion for what they do. Atmosphere is perfection; overlooking the Root River. It’s worth the trip to Lanesboro alone! Juniper’s is a gem you definitely need to try.
