Norske Nook has the best Swedish pancakes and homemade pies! I love this place. The food is fantastic and so is the service! Every time I come to Rice Lake, I will eat here.

They are known for their pies which I love . The food is good too. Kind of a family like atmosphere

Very local, traditional place with fresh food and amazing PIEs . I asked for the fried codd with chips and it was perfectly baked and fried. I asked for a fresh salad next to it and it was just perfect and delicious . At the end asked for the blueberry crusted pie and it was the best pie I had ever have in a my life . Thank you!!!

First off, people are so impatient. The majority of down votes seem to be from people that had to wait a while. Gross. Chill out. Covid happened ya'll. Everyone is still short staffed. This is similar to a Perkins or Denny's but with actual real food made from scratch. They roll the dough out by hand with a rolling pin! The Swedish meatballs aren't ready until 11:45 because they're still being made! The pork sandwich smothered in gravy with mashed potatoes was like a hug on the inside. The pie was utterly perfect. We drove 20 minutes two days in a row when we were staying in the area because the food was so good. Not fancy. Just good food! One note: they could really improve their gift shop. Super boring. More Norske Nook stuff! Less "uffta" crap. But yanno.. not really here for the cute magnet. But it couldn't hurt!

I have always wanted to stop at the Norse Nook in Osseo. Always been pressed for time. Didn't realize they had more than 1 location. Had the pleasure of trying it out at the Rice lake location. Typical diner style, simple but if you like pie this is your stop. Not much on the menu for vegans, I had their hash browns, they were fresh cut and super thin. I have never had hash browns like that before. Amazing. My family all got the burgers. They all gobbled them up and said they were very good. Then pie... We got the apple and chocolate mint. Both were like something from heaven. Homemade crust flakey and crispy and a little chewey in parts. Fresh apples, no cans at this place. Less pie options right now after the holidays but whatever they do have will hit that sweet spot. Homemade and made with love. Our server was so sweet. They have every other table set and sanitizer and menu to scan on table. Doing their part for social distancing right now which threw me off being this far north. Overall great stop! Check it out! Not too many places like this exist.

Stopped for lunch on a Saturday. First snowfall of the season was the night before and starting with a hot chocolate seemed like the thing to do. Served at just the right temperature to drink without burning and not overly sweet. Nice start! Next up was the lunch combo. Thick slices of turkey on their cranberry rice bread, lightly griddled but not greasy. Add some havarti and a compound mustard on the side and this is a very good sandwich. The chili that accompanied was mild and decent, just not my style. Last item of the visit was their apple-lingonberry pie. When you charge $5 for a slice of pie, it better deliver! Their version was a bit on the tart side and very well executed. Easily the best bite and I really enjoyed my sandwich.
