Rogers

About the restaurant

Maynard’s in Rogers opened in 2004 with a mission to provide amazing food as well as impeccable service. We proudly aim to be the place the locals are proud to call home, but also a place for a great pit stop on your hwy 94 commute!

Maynard’s is locally owned and operated and is proud to give back to the communities it serves. We truly enjoy contributing in any way we can –from donating a percentage of sales to our local food shelf and sports teams, to grilling burgers at the Rogers high school football games.

Maynard’s was busy and honored our reservation as soon as we arrived. Food, specifically the walleye, was great. Speciality drink was tasty and reasonably priced.

About the restaurant

If you're going to take your name from a badass like the patron saint of blacksmiths, you better be able to back it up. Baldamar marks the turning point where we usher in the new standard for style, service and steak. It means the menu’s made with old-world craft at its core and modern day meat eaters in mind — with flavors forged in fire and folded into pure primal perfection. It’s where every steak is aged 40 days and 40 nights for a taste of biblical proportion, and where crazy-fresh seafood means it was caught during your morning commute. At the bar sits every spirit imaginable, and someone who isn’t afraid to use them. This is more than a new steakhouse. It’s a line in the sand. It’s not just where you celebrate special occasions. It’s where you create them.

*A 20% Service Fee is added to all groups of 8 or more.

What a great place! Expansive menu, great value, casual, welcoming ambience, and great service. The food is very good—we had a delicious pan-fried walleye and the fish and chis—the latter just beautifully deep-fried. We had a wonderful time!

Redstone is always a wonderful experience. Great for a special occasion or quiet night out. But the recent increase in prices is putting it out of reach. $7 for a slice of cornbread or $21 for a burger is a bit much.

I have not had a bad meal there yet. Food is always good. Service has always been fast and courteous. Food is reasonable priced. When it's packed it can be a little noise, but that is to be expected. Never had a problem in the 6 plus times I have been there. I will be going back. Great work everyone!
