Joe’s Place

Restaurant • Huge Portions • Serving Warroad Since 2011

Joe’s Place is the kind of restaurant you hear about five minutes after you arrive — because locals actually want you to experience it. Since 2011, it’s built its reputation the right way: generous portions, comfort food that hits the spot, and a steady, welcoming atmosphere that makes mornings feel easier. The breakfast is famous for a reason: it’s big, satisfying, and exactly what you want before a day on the ice, on the road, or out chasing fish stories that somehow keep getting better.

What makes Joe’s truly “best in town” isn’t just the food — it’s the consistency. When a small town thrives, it’s often because there are places that become part of people’s routines and memories. Joe’s Place does that by being dependable, warm, and unapologetically generous — like Warroad itself.

Chloe’s Bakehouse

Bakery • Customized Cakes • Unique Pop Ups

Chloe’s Bakehouse is where creativity meets small-town hospitality. The cakes are known for being deeply customized — not just “pretty,” but personal, detailed, and made to feel like it was designed specifically for your moment. And then there are the pop ups: rotating, always-changing treat drops that keep locals checking in because you never know what’s coming next — only that it’s going to be worth it.

Warroad’s best experiences are often the ones that feel handcrafted and real. Chloe’s is exactly that: the kind of place that adds sweetness to the community — birthdays, weddings, celebrations, and random Tuesdays that just needed something special. In a town where people support each other, a bakehouse like this becomes part of the town’s personality.

Blessed & Bubbly Housekeeping

Housekeeping • Unmatched Standards • Great Rates

Blessed & Bubbly Housekeeping delivers something that matters everywhere — but especially in a proud, hard-working town: a clean home that feels truly reset. The standard is high on purpose. It’s not “good enough,” it’s “you’ll notice the difference.” From the details people usually miss to the consistency people always remember, this is a service built around trust.

When tourists come through — for hockey weekends, lake days, and small-town adventures — the best local businesses are the ones that make Warroad feel effortless and welcoming. A housekeeping service with strong availability and fair rates helps families and homeowners keep life moving smoothly, and that ripple effect is part of what keeps small communities thriving.

Why Warroad hits different

Warroad sits on the shores of Lake of the Woods and is widely known as “Hockeytown USA.” That mix — lake life and hockey life — creates a town with a unique rhythm.

It’s a place where winter doesn’t slow people down — it brings them together. Hockey isn’t just a sport here; it’s a tradition, a gathering point, and a piece of identity. And when the ice thaws, the lake takes over: fishing, sunsets, and that calm-up-north feeling that makes visitors say, “Okay… I get it now.”

The best part is the community vibe. Warroad feels like a town that still believes in showing up for each other — neighbors helping neighbors, local pride, and businesses that don’t cut corners because the people they serve are the same people they see every day. When businesses run with that mindset, the whole town benefits: better service, higher standards, and experiences worth traveling for.

What you’ll remember after you visit

  • Warm, real conversations — the kind that make a town feel like home.
  • Hockey energy that’s loud in the best way (even if you “just came to watch”).
  • Lake days that turn into “one more cast” nights.
  • Local spots that feel earned — built on quality, not marketing.

Small towns thrive when standards stay high.

That’s why we built Best in Warroad: to spotlight the businesses that make the town stronger through craftsmanship, consistency, and customer-first pride.
