Always a treat on a long road trip to stop at this famous and well known spot for a Norwegian influenced menu and dozens of homemade pie choices!! Lefse items abound, but leave room for a slice of pie! Not known for fast food, just good old comfort food. Servers very friendly with good advice. I had smoked sausage, hash browns and cheese wrapped in lefse with hollandaise sauce . . Winner! Companion loved the special; creamed chicken on a biscuit. Will stop on the way back!

We made a special trip to purchase lefse and the cranberry wild rice bread. Don't miss taking them home. That bread is fabulous. The soups are okay but very bland. My husband enjoyed his 1/2 turkey sandwich and mashed potatoes. The Cranberry, Turkey and Swiss Melt is really good but some lingonberries in the sandwich would make it perfect. The hashbrowns were crispy and buttery. The letdown was in the pies. They have greatly reduced their pie menu. They also didn't have all of the current choices available. By noon the lemon meringue was sold out. The pie is very good but not as good as it used to be. Service was good and friendly.

Overall a 4.5 rating - only thing to improve is ambiance and bathrooms. Maybe not fair for a diner. Easy access- just off 94. Seating and service: fast Ambiance: good, some Norske Food: good variety. Lingonberry (tart) on potato pancakes were excellent if ok w cranberry-like flavor. Breaded shrimp was good. Prices are typical. Besides pie, they also sell lefse to take home (butter &sugar, then warm) and award-winning pies. Our waitress kindly told the history of this building and how the recipes are kept the same over the decades. The name fits the food offerings.

My first time trying potato pancakes and I was pleasantly surprised. The prices are great, portions are even better. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the strawberry pie was second to none. Our server was very nice and service was quick.

Norske Nook is a hidden gem a little ways off the freeway in Osseo. I've been to most locations, but the original here in Osseo has the best mix of small town charm and unique Norwegian food. Their lefse-wrapped dishes are some of my favorites, and they have a very large pie selection (Death By Chocolate is SO good!). Their service isn't the fastest, but hey it's a local eclectic restaurant in a small town, what do you expect?!

Really good food with a very quaint atmosphere. The Norwegian pancakes with the berries were awesome! They have one of the best Reuben sandwiches ever. The bread is made fresh in house. Pies are to die for and the service was perfect!

As usual, Norske Nook did not disappoint! Went here around 11 am in a Monday & got seated right away. If you wait until noon, it could get crowded. Had the veggie omelet with the cranberry grain bread and lingonberry jam. Fantastic!! Definitely a must stop for us when passing through.

Stopped in while passing through Wisconsin on a road trip and this place hit the spot. Breakfast was decently priced and tasted good for what it was - the classic eggs, toast, and bacon meal. The part that makes this place a true gem is the dessert... It's been awhile and I still DREAM of the pie. Try the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie if you're a sweets lover - the filling is creamy and rich, pairing soooo nicely with the buttery crust. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. TRY IT!

Great food - family style. If you want to have a slice of pie, order ahead of time. Because they will be gone when you want it.

The original Norski Nook. It was my husband's birthday and we were traveling so he wanted to stop off and have a piece of pie. We both ordered a 1/2 sandwich with gravy and mashed potatoes. I had the Norwegian meatball and hubby had Turkey. We wanted to save room for pie. My husband had the banana cream he said was to die for. I had the pecan which came with me and I had 3 desserts off that one slice of pie. It was delicious! We have been here before and there always seems to be a line. Today we were here at 1:00 on a Friday afternoon and had a short wait. They are only open until 3 pm. Stopped again 6 months later for breakfast. My husband ordered his fav banana cream pie which was served first and he even let me have a couple of bites. It has a thick Graham cracker crust loaded with banana and delicious creme filling. This stop my husband had biscuits and sausage gravy. It was a huge bowl full. I had a taste and it was rich. Tasted good. I had the Norwegian pancakes with lingonberry sauce. It had ample dollops of whipped cream. I didn't even need the maple syrup that was served tabletop. I had a side of bacon which was thick and tasty. I was expecting 2 pieces but there were 4. I had approximately one pancake and 3 pieces of bacon to take out and eat down the road as we have about 2.5 more hours of driving. I saw they had an apple French toast that O may have to try on our next stop.
