Our Story
"After 15 years serving Countryside's faithful regulars, it felt like a natural step to buy Susan out when she was ready to sell."
Lynn Fricke and business partner Mark Lindow of Bemidji now own the Countryside Restaurant located just west of Bemidji. This family-friendly diner is a popular stop both for locals and travelers. Enjoy breakfast all day, a burger for every day of the week, and classics like walleye and country-fried steak! "Our walleye is local - fresh from Red Lake every week!"
Taking over the Countryside has been a family affair, with two of Lynn's daughters working as servers over the years, and daughter Aimee now helping with marketing the restaurant.
"We love the customers and community so much; this is where we wanted to invest!"
