The Land of 10,000 Lakes is home to more than 140,000 miles of roads. They lead us to the state’s most wonderful destinations, including state parks, small towns and big cities, and the sparkling waters of Lake Superior – to name a few. But sometimes it’s hard to find a good meal on the road. Sure, you could pack your own lunch. Or you could stop at a gas station to grab a bite. But we all know the favorite choice is to check out a new restaurant. There are many roadside restaurants along Minnesota’s highways and byways. Next time you’re traveling along Highway 371 in northern Minnesota, consider stopping by the 371 Diner in Baxter. Here’s what you’ll find when you get there:
