Have been here a couple of times now and the food has been amazing each time. The atmosphere is comfortable and wait times not long. Had the kids with and they all actually ate their food. Will certainly be back.

Definitely check this place out! We've been here a couple of time, always in the winter for some reason, and have never been let down! The service from the hostess, to the servers, the bartenders and the manager Travis that checked in on us were all extremely friendly and accommodating as we had our 3 little ones with us. This bar/restaurant has a very cozy and warm feeling (I absolutely love being able to take my coat off and not freeze in a restaurant in Minnesota winters). There is an awesome wood burning fireplace that really adds to it's charm. If that's not enough there's a large selection of local artwork throughout each room.There's a huge outdoor patio for all your warmer weather dining needs and it is dog friendly! Rumor has it this summer they will be offering a doggy menu for possible "Yappy Hour"specials!Back to the food, it's amazing! The menu is the perfect size to offer a great variety without compromising quality and taste. We had the 100% Angus burgers that were cooked to perfection and served with perfectly seasoned fries. The buffalo wing appetizers were cooked to have a slightly crispy outside and juicy inside without being sloppy like other wing establishments. We didn't have the fajitas but saw and smelled multiple orders of them whiz by us and will definitely be back to try them.There are plenty of beers on tap and a full bar that will have anything you might have a taste for. I had a blood orange margarita and it was spot on! Coincidentally that happens to be the only picture I took of our meal.

Overpriced. I like the atmosphere, just can't afford happy hour drinks or foods.

We’re basically “regulars,” and eat here 3-4 times a month. We’ve noticed the food and service tends to be much better in the evening. A few times recently, food during the day or late afternoon has been pretty disappointing: cold fries, hard sandwich bread, had about 4 small mushroom slices on what was supposed to be a mushroom/Swiss chicken sandwich, runny BBQ sauce (like it had been watered down), beer has been “cool” (not cold)…Still one of our fav places to go, but stay away from it during earlier hours which, unfortunately, is when it’s least busy.Servers are all generally very good, but a few that have been there a while really stand out.

The walleye dinner was so small and was not prepared blackened as ordered. Service was terrible, waiting 20 minutes to get another drink. Definitely not worth the money they charged. I usually don't complain but will not go back.

Extremely fun setting with good music at a nice low volume to facilitate talking. Unfortunately the atmosphere and setting were undermined by inattentive wait staff and poor quality food. Garnish on my wife's bloody Mary was brown and shriveled. Steak bites came out cold and flavorless. French fries were room temperature and mushy. The waitress forgot an entire drink order and when we canceled it and asked for the check she offered no apology. We saw our waitress three times during an hour long visit. Bartender brought the only drinks we received. I feel badly for the owners of such a beautiful restaurant.

Breakfast was sub-par. Gravy on the biscuits wasn't edible, and I've had better breakfast butritos at fast food resraunts.

I had Walleye Tacos and they were bad. The plate looked unappetizing and the tacos were just tortilla and some fish. The pico de gallo was sweet! The guacamole was clearly from a jar and the beans and rice were dry. It was a waste of my money!

The only reason i come here is to see Megan and Karen. They are the best servers! Be sure to ask for them when you come. The food is OK, but the service these two provide is awesome.

There are so many menu options, even as someone who’s gluten free and vegetarian. The staff has always done a nice job and I know I’ll get a good meal for a decent price.
