Guests Have a Great Time at Tally's and CG Hooks BBQ!

Nothing to say but amazing things about this place. We been renting pontoons from Tallys since our high school days (class of 2008 and 2010). We been with them even before they upgraded the place. It used to be just a tiny little shack with little baites to chose from and a couple choices of beverages. It's amazing to see how far along they have come. Nothing but great memories there. They have been nothing but great to us. Planning on renting more with them in the future with our little ones. The staffs are great and are always welcoming.

Pontoon rental

I just wanted you to know that we had a great time on the pontoon! Your boat was clean and comfortable, the staff were super friendly and polite, and we just had a terrific experience! Have a good summer!

Great Fishing Boat Rental

Very convenient that you can reserve a fishing boat online (not pontoons). We've reserved the deluxe fishing boat twice and had great experiences. The dock boys are very helpful and friendly. They keep the boats really clean and maintained. Caught a 28" Northern the second time, so maybe that sweetened the deal. ;) Will keep renting boats from them, until someday we buy our own!

Helpful & Knowledgeable Boat Staff

It's my first Summer here in MN, and one of the things I looked forward to was to try driving a Pontoon boat haha! It was quite an experience. I loved how helpful and knowledgeable the guy who instructed us yesterday. The boat was clean and new. It was all worth it. We enjoyed the beautiful day! Definitely coming back and I highly recommend it to everyone to see, try it for yourself

Great Place to Visit!

Tally's is a great place to visit, whether it's for food, drinks, or boat rentals. My family and I have rented out pontoons, paddle boards, etc. here for the past few summer's and we absolutely love it. They have a great patio area and live music on the weekends! Very fun place and great atmosphere during the warm, Minnesota summer'!

It was hard not to be impressed

Tally's sits on the lake with a fantastic view of the water from every seat. We just stopped for drinks while out for a bike ride - but the food looked and smelled delicious. We have already talked about going back to try food next time. It was busy, but the waitstaff were very attentive.

An Unforgettable Night!

Every now and then a person has an experience in life that transforms a normal, average or even mundane day into something utterly unforgettable. Amazing view on lake, beautiful and sweet hostess, excellent music and some of the finest snacks I have had the pleasure of having dance across my tongue... and I mean ever. Run, don't walk to Tally's, and dance and shout while you're there!!
