The Land of 10,000 Lakes is home to some truly delicious diners. While many Twin Cities restaurants get a lot of praise, there are great spots in every region of the state. For example, northern Minnesota’s Brainerd Lakes area is home to more than a few excellent eateries. There’s one in particular we’d like to introduce today: the Barn in Brainerd, Minnesota.
