Here is our story. Yesterday was our 40th anniversary and we decided to go to the place we had our first date when we were college students at SCSU. We couldn't make reservations because they were not open for a few days because of Thanksgiving. But website said they were open on Saturday at 11. We showed up and sign on door said "open come on in."Nope locked up and chairs still on the tables. We were very disappointed as we had made a special trip out of our way to celebrate. KEEP YOUR WEBSITE UPDATED!!!

Tried going there on Saturday after Thanksgiving. Sign said open, website said open, not open. Voice mail full. Can't even update website with open hours. Went out of the way to go there. Never again!

We made reservations for 5 only to be sat in a tiny, crummy booth in the back of the bar, right up against the dart board where people were playing darts. We did our best to look past the atmosphere because we had heard how wonderful the food was. When making a reservation, we thought there was nicer seating available.Anyway, we sat down and our server was lovely but she was literally the only person tending bar, waitressing and running to change kegs etc. We sat and waited and waited and waited to order. We completely understood how busy she was and weren't in a hurry but the atmosphere for a nice dinner was just so poor that we decided to leave.Before we left we noticed the menu looked amazing but we couldn't get past how uncomfortable we were and how dumpy the atmosphere was. They need new booths with dividers that go way up in between the booths so you don't feel like you are sitting down to dinner with strangers. Nicer lighting and moving the dart boards would help if the small nook in the back is the only option for dining.I hope that one day, their great food can once again be experienced in the fine dining atmosphere that once held the space of the 3rd floor. We would have loved to enjoy the food but the atmosphere was horrendous.We will try it again once the world is back to adequate staffing levels and the seating arrangements there are better.

Ordered from here for lunch working the night shift. Ordered Cod dinner, hangover burger , full order of onion rings and the shrimp pasta. No tarter sauce for the cod dinner, overcooked the breading stabbed me. No hollandaise sauce on the burger. And not a full order of onion rings. Unless you consider the air in a half empty tin part of the order very disappointing. Will mark this place off the list of ordering food from

BEST BAR IN ST. CLOUD!We had the time of our lives Friday September 17th 2021! We were singing karaoke with one of the best KJs in the business. The staff kept up with the crazy packed party going on. We met the owner and he was friggin awesome! This is a must stop people! Reasonable prices and extremely fun!

Wouldn't waste my time here. I came here at 9:50 and they had the audacity to say they've been closed for 20 minutes, and they don't close until 12am. Not only that, but the employees walked across to the street to another bar. I won't eat or drink there. No thank you.

The food was great and Sierra was fun fabulous and a little flustered when teased her. We will be back.

This was stop 1 of 4 on a progressive dinner in St. Cloud. We had chicken wings app. Classic restaurant. I’m glad to see it open again ! I first came here 35 yrs ago. The wings were great. Other dishes looked good too. Bartender very friendly, fun and helpful.

ZERO stars - horrible service. Asked for a couple more minutes to look at menu & server NEVER came back. Waited 20 minutes and left. Hard to say I'll be back - unfortunate as I'd like to support local business.

ZERO stars if was an option. Horrible service. Asked for a couple more minutes to look at menu and server NEVER came back. Other servers didn’t bother to check on us. Waited 20 minutes and finally left - didn’t even have a chance to place an order. Can’t say I’ll return - unfortunate as I like to support local business.

We had just the greatest service from Sierra. She has a great smile and really helped to make our anniversary lunch very special. Food is always great here (jalapeño poppers - best ever).

Great food, great atmosphere, and super friendly wait staff. I will be back for more. 1 dollars Hamms were a nice incentive.
