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.

    My wife and daughter were there at 5:00 pm on Valentines Day. We had reservations and were seated at a wonderful table by a window facing Lake.Minnetonka. We had a drink and all ordered Walleye. My wife fried, my daughter the special pestachio crusted walleye and I ordered the walleye fish and chips. My wife and daughter chose the vegetable medley which was a very generous serving of broccoli and carrots and I had the cottage fries. All agreed the food was excellent! The service was extremely good - very attentive and timely. Another fine time dining at Maynard’s.

    Having a reservation doesn't guarantee you very much. We were placed on the same list as those who came in without a reservation. Between the 1/2 hour wait for a table and the kitchen forgetting to start our order, it was 1 hour and 10 minutes before we were served our food.
