We brought our dog and had the best time! She even got to take a hay ride. We made sure to try the food and highly recommend the sandwiches and of course, the apple pie 🔥🔥🔥

My son loved picking apples in the orchard for his birthday. Was hoping the restaurant would be open this year but was still alot of fun!

We enjoyed every minute here! The apple turnovers were what dreams are made of and the service in the restaurant was top notch. Be sure to take a hay ride through the orchard. It was so neat to see and hear about the growing/harvest process!

Fantastic place with great owners and staff alike. The lunches are great, and the fresh or take and bake pies are delicious, not to mention the apple raisin muffins 😋. I left full after a great lunch, with 3 pies, and a bag of my new favorite apple "first kiss".

We just finished a bag of apples we had picked up at Carlson’s late in the season. They were absolutely delicious. I’m currently eating an apple I picked up at the grocery store (same variety). It doesn’t even taste close to the local ones! Carlson’s is the best!

Their chicken wild ride soup will knock your socks off. They offer two different dining experiences I guess you could say, they have a small wing that has booths and is much more or a restaurant feel and then they have a larger dining hall type area that has a bigger community feel. Their ciabatta sandwiches are killer.

Local restaurants would be wise to take pointers from this seasonal gem. Take the whole family and delight in an autumnal tradition! The apple cider pairs well with a club sandwich. Homemade focaccia in a rural setting?! So impressive!! Colleen and Joe have been pleasing palates for 25 years at this "salt lick" that is located on a 202 acre tract of tranquility.

The sandwiches are delicious. They are made with homemade focaccia bread! The cider is outstanding! It's always neat and clean, both inside and out, and Marlene is just the sweetest waitress.

A very nice we'll kept orchard with varieties other orchards do not have like Jonathan's. They are looking for a buyer and wish to retire. Great opportunity for a hard working couple.

Love this place, best apple orchard in Minnesota. They serve lunch too, very good bakery items. Worth the drive from twin cities.

The self-serve apple picking isn't the best in the state, but when you consider the bakery and cafe, Carlson is awesome. Try anything with focaccia bread. Seriously.

Why complicate things; it is as easy as pie. Also, please try my go to the chicken salad sandwich and my grandma's favorite the wild rice soup.
