B Merri Restaurant & Bar

We love The Woods! It's one of our favorite restaurants. We love all of the servers, cooks, and bartenders! Everyone is always friendly and they remember us every time we come in. It is conveniently located and food and drinks are always good. We have never had any problems here. They have the BEST patio. I love sitting out there in the summer. They also host fun events at their event center next door!

We stopped and tried the Woods on their opening weekend and it was awesome. We found a table on the patio, nice setting. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and made numerous suggestions and I might add were the correct ones. Don't miss the au grauten potatoes and the woods chips were out of this world. Burgers were Great, Cod was good, and the beer was cold. We will be back! Thanks for the great service.

As a chef, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and menu items that were executed in a professional manner on a busy Saturday night. The atmosphere is truly remarkable. Can’t wait to return and experience the beautiful patio area. What a gem for the Northern Brainerd community! Well done! Try the self service tap beer area.

My bride and I had our wedding and reception here and I can't say enough great things about the the location, the food, the value, and most of all the owners and staff. From beginning to end, every step of the way was a pleasure and they could not have been more accommodating. We had family and friends in from all over the country and everyone had a magnificent time. I cannot thank them enough nor can I recommend them strongly enough.

We held our annual December commission meeting at the Woods and the event went very smoothly! Items were set up in advance as discussed and the facility was decorated very nicely. Becky was super helpful during the event in making sure everything was in order throughout the evening. Thank you very much!

I had a wonderful birthday dinner here last night! My dinner was beautifully done. Also and equally important, a wonderful staff! Our server was very attentive, and the bartender even checked on how well our drinks were prepared. Thank you for making every part of our experience positive and pleasant!

We (EI Global Energy Services) had our 2015 Christmas party for 25 individuals at The Woods bar and restaurant. Lori was our main contact for setting up our meal and banquet setting. She was absolutely wonderful, paid attention to the littlest of details, and her staff was extremely professional with smiles! Pricing, food, accommodations, everything was to the highest and affordable standards. I would recommend Lori and this facility to anyone, please feel free to contact our company for details and a referral! Once again Lori and crew were awesome!
