I had the jalapeno burger the bun to meat/topping mix was just right. Prices are slightly higher than an average bar and grill however it is 100% worth it. If you are looking for a place to have dinner or a date it's a great spot. Service is quick and food is good!

We were promptly sat. Our server was very nice. We had seen a 25oz Long Island tea on the online menu and we were excited to try it. The first one came out and was okay. We ordered coconut chicken, loaded fries, chicken wing bone in, a bourbon burger, pulled pork tacos and fish tacos and another round of the Long Island teas. The drinks came back and one was dark and the other see through. One drink was completely just sweet and sours or lemonade and the other was mostly cola of some sort and sweet and sour. We didnt finish either one and I ordered a beer. The food came out. The coconut chicken was not anything special and didn’t taste like coconut. The onion rights that came with the chicken was from a bag. The fries were okay, the chicken wings had sat under the heat lamp for a long time

My family and I decided to eat here after a hockey game and our server Sol was amazing! She was very attentive with our orders, this is especially important for me because I have a few dietary restrictions. She was able to deliver the drinks and food in a timely manner as well as answer all of our questions about the menu. We get a little nervous going out after games because we usually have a bigger group, but Sol made us feel like family. She always had a smile on her face and had an amazing attitude throughout the whole night! Definitely recommend her as your server next time you visit.

Stopped here to eat after visiting Kiwani’s. It was definitely busy, but we had a table within 15 minutes. Service was fast and kind. We started with the cheese curds which were pretty standard - always tasty! Each of us got a different burger from the menu and really enjoyed it. Loved the waffle fries with seasoned sour cream!! I don’t know if I agree that they’re the best in all of Minnesota, but they were delicious nonetheless. My only complaint is that it was SO loud inside. They had the music turned up loud enough to be heard over the crowd of people, and it was just a lot. Lucky for me I was able to just pop out my hearing aids and enjoy dinner in a more quiet, muffled environment; but my partner said it was loud even for her. There were a lot of tables open near the back of the res

We really enjoyed our lunch here. Service was awesome, the cheese curds almost perfect, the shrimp appetizer was tasty, we loved the hot sauce. I had the pulled pork and I thought it was very good. I think the whole family was happy with their food. They also had a great selection of craft beer! We will definitely go back next time we are in town.
