“Great atmosphere, food is good, nice to stay local. Cracky Mac is creamy and delish!! Tried the brisket in past was very good.UPDATEso it's been a while since this last visit tonight was rough, slow service, food was off... definitely would go someplace else for food.Bar was fine...Update- went and had tacos on Tuesday- they were delish! Server was attentive and friendly!“

“Conveniently located off the frontage road of Hiway 61, it does resemble a big red barn. There is a banquet hall/area with entry in the back of the parking lot. Tuesdays offer tacos (good tacos-self serve taco bar) & Johnny NO Cash Country band, on Wednesday its bingo.The kitchen offers pub grub as well as Heggies Pizzas. I was looking forward to an order of chicken wings, but the kitchen ran out of wings. Next time we come here to line dance, will try to get the wings again!“

“Awesome service. Really good food. They have the best burgers.We were surprised when they eliminated hash browns from their breakfast menu and replace them with breakfast potatoes. Normally we don't care for breakfast potatoes that much but these are the best.“

“What a cute spot! They have amazing bloody Mary's! This place is great if you want to stop in for a quick drink and a small treat or stay for a full meal! I went here a few years ago and found myself there this past weekend again. It was as good as I remembered and the staff were so kind! Everyone at brunch raved about their meal, truly exceptional! Their eggs were all cooked to perfection! Highly recommend if you are in the area. If you are ever in the area highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Met a colleague here for a lunch meeting. I drove past it the first time. The white brick building doesn't have a huge outdoor sign but if you do the same, make sure you uey to get a table at this place. There is not a lot of seating but I got there a bit before noon and found a table with 4 chairs available. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich (no cheese for me but you can get with an extra charge). The sandwich came right from the grill to my table as it was nice and hot. Tomato and lettuce toppings were fresh. The fries were a fav. I love the skinny, crispy, salty fries and these were perfect. I got so many I have enough for another meal which I brought home. The owner was also our server and, apparently Friday's are sushi nights which my colleague says is a fav. Have to come back. Great experience.“

“Terrific find in St Paul in the Art Deco St Paul Air Terminal Holman's Table. Lot's of photos of early aviation, a private plane landed and taxi'd up for a lunch meeting. Meals were excellent, the room is a delight over looking Holman Field.“

“We went for dinner with friends and loved the view, atmosphere, and had great service. The drinks for most of us were also excellent. However we all felt that the food and presentation was a three star. So take that into account if you are reading this.I know they are going for the diner/dinette vibe but the shrimp cakes in a cardboard box isn't ideal. The French fries also were good but look like something you would get next door at CHS Field.I had the duck pasta with ricotta cheese and it was a major letdown for me. I should have ordered the burrito. However the menu isn't that large so your options are limited. The pork belly was tasty but had way too much spicy sauce all over it.Will I go back? Honestly it is unlikely. I hope they can improve the food and expand the menu because the location is beautiful and historic. And our server was prompt and took great care of us.“

“FAST - seated within a minute. Order taken by Kelly within 3 minutes. Food arrived within 10 minutes. Hot. Plentiful. Place was clean. All equipment appeared professional and in good order. Everyone worked as a team. I highly recommend this family run restaurant!“

“BEST breakfast ever!!! Had to have cheese curds with breakfast and they were the best cheese curds I have ever eaten…light, tasty and so good with the breakfast. Highly recommend this quaint little place with wonderful staff…we will be back!!!“

“You guys went over and above any expectations I had. We will definitely be back again and will be recommending LT around! The food was great and you more than made up for the mistakes made. Plus I think my husband is addicted to the bulgogi now.“

“We came to town for a funeral and suddenly needed a place to serve what I thought would be twenty. I called and they agreed to open up the other half of the restaurant. It turned out to be 40! The only bartender was also our waitress and she rocked it! On top of that the food was fantastic! Thanks for helping a family that came together make more memories!“

“No other wing place will EVER compare to getting wings from here. I've been eating here since I graduated high-school back in 2018 and I can't say I've found any other place that can compare. I've been loyal to this place since then and I plan to remain loyal to this place for as long as they're around.“

“This place is amazing! Do you know how hard it is to find a place that not only has an extensive tap list with great beer representing all the major styles, but also really good food? This place has both is and is truly a gem. It is must visit for both great beer and great food, plus the service was amazing. My beer never went dry once before the waitress was asking if we needed another. That is how it should be done! Spent over 5 hours here and it was time well spent. The Reaper wings were a perfect blend of flavor, spice, and sweetness. If you enjoy various styles of beer and great food this place is highly recommended!“

“About a month ago I was here with my dad and I had fried rice (I think chicken). It was delicious!!! I noticed more people were taking food to-go than actually dining-in. The portion was a good portion and the price was decent. My dads been coming here for a while and I can see why. I would totally recommending to give this place a shot. :)“

“First time playing Prestwick yesterday! What an amazing golf course. The layout is outstanding and condition of the course was immaculate. Greens were quick and rolled true. By far the best kept course in the Twin Cities metro. The landscaping and gardens on the course were simply beautiful. Lunch at the turn was equally fantastic. We had four groups and we will be back! Great job Prestwick!??‍♂️“

“Steak, garlic mashed potatoes asparagus with a blackberry sauce. Was wonderful and will order it again. Then I had their saffron cheesecake that was divine and drizzled in caramel and chocolate. Think I'll order this again tomorrow night.“

“First time here! Complimentary thanks to the chef for cooking up the best dinner for us! Thanks to our server who was patience with us, she explain everything perfectly to us.We order Calamari and Spicy Mussel. I was expecting to receive a very small portion like other places. BUT the portion was big enough to share it. 10/10We also order the halibut with rissotto & bouillabaisse. I'm not a fan of super fishy broth, but this broth was perfect! Each spoon of broth that went in my mouth made me want some more. Halibut and rissotto was cooked perfectly, no complaint over here!Definitely recommend & will definitely return! Thanks for having us!“

BEST bartender and waitress, Yani, is so sweet!Vegetarian options: Impossible burgers, white bean sandwich, Brussel sprouts, etc.“

“It's good, except they always try to avoid actually giving you the advertised good discounts. I'm not sure why. But you need to check the bill, and ask for the discount. Then they always put up a fight. Otherwise, the food is great.“

“Stopped by for breakfast on a Sunday around 10:20. Got a table right away, and the server brought our drinks in a timely manner. They offer a breakfast buffet or ordering off a menu. The six of us chose to order off the menu. Our food came out in a timely manner and it was delicious! Thick cut bacon and crispy hash browns. Yummy!Service was great and so was the food. We will definitely come back if we are in the area.“

“Comfortable pub atmosphere with friendly, attentive staff. Food was very good in generous servings. Ample free parking with easy access off I-694 in Oakdale.Daily lunch special of 3 beef enchaladas with rice, black beans and lettuce for $9.00 was great! I got change back from my $10 bill. Incredible!“

“We had our lunch party here today with our family after our wedding and the entire experience was amazing! The staff and service was outstanding! Food was excellent and there was just a wonderful attention to detail! Thank you to the entire staff for making our day so special!“
