There are many restaurants in this area to choose. Breezy Point has two primary restaurants. There is the Marina Restaurant on the lake and Antlers located in the White Birch clubhouse. We’ve enjoyed both of these restaurants on previous trips, but chose not to visit either this time around. The Marina has a casual feel, with a popular bar connected. Antlers is fine dining and great for a formal dinner or date.
While we ate at the unit most of the time, we had two dining experiences at the resort we enjoyed. Rafferty’s Pizza is a fun family stop right in downtown Nisswa. The pizza we had was excellent. They claim to be voted the best pizza in the lakes area and have received the award of being among the top 100 pizzas in the country according to Pizza Magazine (or something on that order). I don’t care to subscribe to Pizza Magazine, but I will vouch for their pizza—thin crust, many varieties, good value. There is both indoor and outdoor dining available in this casual restaurant.
One other place to highlight is a little bakery just outside the gates of Breezy Point. This is a tiny little place with perhaps four or five tables, but the fresh-baked cinnamon and caramel rolls are simply awesome. There are also muffins, pastries, fine coffees, and teas, as well as wrap sandwiches available on the menu. If you’re just dying to check your email, they also have WiFi access. I recommend going to this place early when the rolls are fresh baked. It is a rewarding destination on a morning walk.
There are many, many other options, from casual to elegant, in the nearby area, and if you’re willing to drive a little farther, the city of Brainerd has virtually any of the chain restaurants. The Famous Dave’s Barbeque is worth noting and is on the south edge of Cross Lake, only about 7 miles from the resort.
