“Great spot to be by the lake with tvs running for sports and a lot of both indoor and outdoor seating. Got the buffalo chicken wrap and it was good - what you would expect from a buffalo chicken wrap.Parking: Was busy but we were able to get a spot quickly.“

“The food is amazing and Troy the bartender (the bald one) makes the best bloody marys and old fashioneds in town. A great home town feel, reminds me of Cheers.The grilled cheese prime rib sandwich is the best sammy in town. The hand breaded wings are also the best in town.“

“Wait staff initially a little chilly but she may have just been busy. Food was pretty good, as usual. Salmon cooked perfectly, shrimp pasta on point. Wish they'd include a bread basket or some of the fabulous popovers they used to serve. The martini was perfection.“

“Incredible atmosphere. It's a dream place and will come back often.“

“The customer service is second to none, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left it was amazing!The atmosphere here is so beautiful, the bathroom decor is dreamy and there are two private dining areas. One where I caught a glimpse of, that now makes me want to come back and celebrate there.We went in around 3pm on a Saturday, ordered the baked brie, lobster risotto and the prickly pear mojito.. there are unique additions to their menu items and everything was delicious, but I enjoyed my risotto most of all.I would recommend dining here!“

“excellent service food tasted great best happy hour out there“

“First time. Service excellent. We tried several appetizers from the Happy Hour menu. Loved them all. $30 for the 2 of us. Very reasonable“

“Picture a local small town bar and grille in your mind that has a full kitchen in the back. This is that place. It has the colorful local regulars, it has the nightly kitchen specials, and of course the MN staple of Bango. I love this place. If I could give one improvement it's tap beer is lacking, but for a Main Street bar I probably expect to much here.“

“I happened across this place while riding my motorcycle in Carver with my girlfriend. There were some nice bikes outside so I stopped in.My GF and I tried the Rueben Balls and Walleye Fingers. Both were fried to perfection and came out quick. The service was good even though the bartender had a lot of people to look after. The prices are very reasonable.Important note: I discovered you cannot tip with a credit card here and felt bad that I didn’t have any cash. Remember to bring cash. The bartender does a good job and works hard!“

“Ryan is THE BEST bartender we have found in years. Always attentive to his customer needs. You never have to wait for a drink or a refill. He is funny, has bar games and a great rapport with his customers - regulars and new comers alike. Come to McCoys Chaska and sit at Ryan's bar.“

“The service is 10 stars!!! I think we saw 5 wait staff come by and ask us if we needed anything. They are SO on top of your needs and make you feel welcome - unlike Floyd’s where if you are NOT a biker or a man, you are overlooked for service. Also, Vic’s has great food!!“

“Love this local restaurant! Normally I order the scallops with creamed corn and bacon and that never disappoints but this time I went with a new pasta dish with crab! It was amazing! The flavor combinations were spot on! Nice work to the chef! We sat at the bar and our waiter/bartender did an amazing job as well! Thanks for making our anniversary night a special one!“

“We are new Chaska residents and love a good legion, good thing we have one located right in town. We thought we would check it out for the first time and watch the NFL division championship games and were not disappointed. The place was packed with folks both young and old to enjoy their 2:00 Sunday bingo which was a blast. The wait staff and bartenders were very friendly and professional even under the pressure of being very busy. The chef came out to check on us several times to make sure we were happy and updated on our orders. He made everything with love and you could tell. The buffalo wings are large and taste awesome. Their not your usual mini wings with no meat that you see at most other places. The burgers are great too and I'd recommend the stuffed burger, it's killer. Don't forget to try one of their bloody marys with their homemade spicy vodka, they are to die for. Overall, a great day here at the Chaska legion capped by a Packers loss. We will definitely be headed back to the legion and can't wait to do so.“

“6 Smith is one of our favorite dinner spots but we decided to give their weekend brunch a try and it was nothing short of amazing! My husband had the chicken and waffles! They were out of this world and perfectly balanced with salty, sweet and a little smokiness from the bacon! I had the orange Suzette pancakes and they were pure perfection!“

“I went here last sat night, and saw some of good for Gary band was preforming. The bar was packed, the atmosphere was awesome. The tall dark haired male bartender was quick to greet me as soon as I got up to the vert busy bar with a smile! He got my drink right away, and I paid then without starting a tab. A friend went to grab me a drink from the bar, and they were back withing 5 minutes. Quick service! I would definitely go back and have dinner.“

Prices are very reasonable for both food and drinks.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice long ramp. Not steep. It's around back“

“The owner, the big B (Brian), is amazing. He is a great person l, honest with prices and amazing drinks. The atmosphere is so comfortable and you feel like you are family when you are here. I know the owner personally, but I give bad reviews when due, he has EARNED THIS. Amazing bar always come here.“

“Lord Fletcher's is a classic when it comes to celebrating special occasions! We requested and received a lake view table, which we much appreciate for this special anniversary. The "acclaimed" walleye dinner delivered as usual - a wonderful meal at a very special place!“

“I came to this location to celebrate my daughters 5th birthday and it did not disappoint. The experience was very easy to workout the details and the staff member that helped us was very attentive. My daughter and her friends had a great time bowling and the pizza was delicious. They were able to have their own seating table and table for the gifts and food. I highly recommend coming to this location for a kids birthday party or even just to have some fun bowling“

“The point of this place is to get drunk and socialize, and you can absolutely accomplish that here. They've ruined the atmosphere with the stage they added a few years back for bands. I know the intention was good, but bands could fit a smaller footprint without the stage, and it's a single room that absolutely does not need elevation. We played there for years, and having room for people to dance made the experience wonderful. Those days are gone.“

“Some guy drank himself silly and puked all over the floor. Luckily a regular patron named Bob ran over, grabbed a mop and bucket and fixed the situation immediately. Bob’s a hero, the guy that got sick is not.I also hear that their bowling squad is elite.Vegetarian options: No meat in the beers.“

“The American legion Post 2 in Shakopee Mn has something going on evey night! Craft shows during the day. Even Purse Designer bags BINGO. Saturday night they have regular Bingo open to the public great dinner served at a great price! Look on there web page they have been keeping it up to date follow the events. Proud to be an American!!“

“Dog friendly patio. Servers and staff are very friendly, helpful and professional.“

“A true dive bar in downtown Shakopee. Always a fun time as they serve strong mixed drinks and a good tap and canned beer selection. Can't beat the prices. When bar and brewery hopping downtown Shakopee, Babe's stands out as being a true original.“

“We went for Bingo on Monday nights. Bring Cash....bingo is not through Roberts but supports youth hockey. I ordered the Cajun steak bites which were delicious. The crowd was a little rowdy but it was in good fun. Would probably go back again.“

“Great food and excellent service. A shout out to our waiter last evening, Bret. Thank you for the great service Bret!!“

“Bridgette our server was excellent. Just the right amount of follow up and attention. A guest at our table accidentally knocked over a full drink and Bridgette was so kind to insist she clean it up. Then she refilled it with no charge. Food never disappoints at 925.“
