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.

    Consistently good food, good value, and GREAT service! (Plus a view of the winter lake that's just perfect on a cold afternoon.) Why go anywhere else?

    We arrived at 4:30 pm and took advantage of the “Early Diners Menu”. I ordered the chicken stir fry and my wife ordered the walleye dinner. My entree was excellent as always and my wife raved about the fried walleye and the side of mixed vegetables she ordered. Both our orders came piping hot from the kitchen. Between the two entrees we saved $7.00 by taking advantage of this early diners menu promotion. We are always delighted by the food at Menards. Great Christmas decorations as well.

    Off night on service. Not sure why the waitress couldn't seem to find our table. Tipped accordingly.

     The brunch was wonderful and I wish they would continue it instead of just being a one time deal. Used to go there for brunch more Sundays before Covid hit.

    Loved the “throwback” Sunday Brunch. Wish they would bring it back! Food, setting, was lovely. The restaurant was packed.

    Food and service were good. It was very loud so somewhat difficult to have a conversation.

    Had a nice server, food served fast, large portions, worth the value. Make a reservation as they get crowded on weekends.

    We go to Maynards for the view of Lake Minnetonka. As a bonus, the food and service is excellent. It also has the best free parking in Excelsior.
