My review is only for the fish fry experience, I have not tried the normal menu. This was such a good fish fry! The fried fish was flaky and tender. The Mac and cheese was delicious, and the potatoes had a great flavor. Be warned that the initial line is super long and can stretch to outside, but then it is much quicker after you get through the first line. The servers were all super nice and the place had a great, welcoming atmosphere. I also appreciated that they let girl scouts sell cookies inside the restaurant! Will definitely have to come back for their other menu items. read more

328 Grill - Fish fry ($20 ayce) - Salad Near Me - Hastings, Minnesota

First time since they changed locations. Nice building. Both of our orders were messed up. My burger was overcooked and much smaller than my husband's. I also received tots instead of the ordered fries. My husband received spicy tots and he doesn't like spicy. It was busy so our food took a long time. We didn't want to send the food back and have to wait. Our waitress offered to fix the order. Not sure if we will be back. read more

This is sad guys :( food is still amazing but wow service really needs so much more training like it's soo bad. I would literally shut down for a weekend and higher better servers or just train everyone so much more... It took a straight hour I mean a full hour to get a fried chicken sandwich and a burger with some cheese curds-that is crazy guys. Our server just seemed really uncomfortable and out of sorts. It felt super awkward. The old place was so much better!! I understand wanting a bigger location and I was excited because I'm in Hastings a lot and yes, you did need more space but we literally compromised service for space and that's not sustainable in a restaurant. I really hope this gets fixed because this place was a gem! My husband and I loved it. We would go all the time and get burgers and fried chicken sandwiches for like the last three years. I was excited over being in a bigger location, but yeah, the service was so awful and the food took so incredibly long that it just put a huge cloud over the whole experience. Also my loaded fries--the cheese wasn't even melted. Like, how could you even send that over to the table? I hope you guys do a lot more training and get people up to speed. There's no way I could come back after what I just experienced maybe in a few more months when people are more trained that was super frustrating. I also feel sorry for all the veterans and good old boys that used to go there every day. The old place had a way better vibe to it. This feels chaotic like people are confused. You have a whole bunch of staff that don't know what they're doing now and it's super noticeable. Fried chicken was delicious as always, but boy did I pay for it. Honestly, the wait time was just the worst part. That's my main complaint a full and I mean I'm not exaggerating here--an entire hour for one burger and one fried chicken sandwich that's insane and they didn't even offer to take anything off when it was all over. $90 for this experience and it was really frustrating. It was sad to us too because this used to be one of our favorite spots. Super bummed. read more

I came in because of a Facebook post about a burger here. By the time we got sat, I completely forgot about that and ordered something different. We were able to pick our own seats, and the place was very spacious. Staff was also very accommodating and kind. I was talked into the wild rice poutine. This sounded kind of strange, but it turned out to be absolutely delicious! I'll have to go back for more. The Griddy burger was pretty good too, but I wasn't a huge fan of the side of onions. read more

Went to Alary's for the 328 grill residency! I thought about posting as Alary's but they will be gone in a few days. Had the Fo Cheezy which was nice and cheesy and with good seasoning on the flavorful meat. Also no extra charge for Cajun spice on the fries or for tots! Highly recommend the food if you find yourself out that way. read more

Heard great things about this place, had to try it out for ourselves. They recently moved to Hastings MN and we tried a few weeks ago to eat here but it was packed and they told us it would be at least an hour wait from ordering to when food would be ready. We decided to leave. Came back a few days ago, this place was not worth the hype...the food felt so greasy and the burger didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked. Inside was the same set up as the last restaurant in this location- the only thing I did not like inside was the lights above the bar were SO bright it hurt our eyes a little bit. Overall, it was ok. Had better. read more

We visited the 328 grill on a very busy Saturday night. It's located in the American Legion, which feels like a small bar up north. We ended up sitting at the bar, as we didn't want to wait for a table. The bartender was friendly and very attentive. For our meal, we ordered dry rub wings to start, which were amazing! The seasoning was a little spicy, but not too heavy. They cooked them so they were juicy, but still had a crunchy skin. I believe the ranch was homemade, it was really thick and flavorful. For my main, I decided on the chicken sammie. It was ok. Honestly, it tasted a lot like fish. Not sure if that had to do with it being the day after their fish fry? The breading was a little soggy on the underside and just didn't have much flavor. The Cajun fries were good, but overall felt underwhelmed by the whole basket. I'd like to go back and try a burger. read more

I guess when the boss is away the employees don't give a shit? Food was way different than usual. Focheesy so greasy couldn't eat. Fry's were raw. too bad, they had a good going, hope they don't f... it up! read more

We came in for the fish fry during lent, please note it's busy so there was a line outside the door! But well worth it and they keep that line moving quick. If you have a smaller group, you might get to cut the line as they will place people at tables with more than one group so it's much easier to seat groups of two. The food was fantastic and such a good deal. They load you up on the first plate so we didn't even feel the need to go a second time. The volunteers were great and the food was fresh. My only critique is that they should have the dessert separate so you can easily go up for another pudding cup without needing to wait in the fish line. I've heard this place has great burgers so I'll definitely be back! read more

First off, we can thank Tony Cu for this recommendation! My wife and I thought we would try a new fish fry, and the 328 Grill was the spot. This place is located in the American Legion in St. Paul Park. We were greeted when we walked in, and were asked if we were doing the fish fry, or standard dining. We said we were there for the fish fry and they directed us toward the line snaking through the interior. We followed the line and were surprised the line went out the back door! We decided to wait since we were already there. The line moved relatively fast, and everyone in line was friendly and we all chatted a bit. We got to the front to pay and were directed toward a table. The seating is set up where you will sit with other people at your table. It was fun chatting with the people at our table! There is a second line to go through the buffet style setup. That moved relatively fast as well with a few pauses as they supplied more fried fish. One tip, if you want only baked fish, you can go to the front of the line due to most people waiting for the fried fish. Going through the line you have the choice of fried or baked fish, mac 'n cheese, scalloped potatoes, green beans, coleslaw, and three pudding options. The fried fish was a definite hit! Great lighter batter and big flakey fish pieces. The fish itself was cooked perfectly and extremely flavorful. All of the sides were a nice touch as well, which are AYCE as well! Personally, we agreed the fried was better than the baked. Overall, it was well worth the wait in the two separate lines, and the staff and customers were all very friendly! Definitely a top spot to visit! read more

328 Grill - Friday Fish Fry! - Salad Near Me - Hastings, Minnesota

We dropped by 328 Grill because of its award status for having some of the best cheese curds and tots in the whole state. We arrived right at opening time at 11am on Saturday. Judging by the calls of greeting the staff made to others as they entered, this is a place with a lot of regulars. The whole vibe of the place is homey, nothing fancy, but it's well-kept and well-loved. There were two rooms we could sit in, over by the bar or near to the pull-tab and gaming counter; we went by the counter. Service was good the whole time. We shared the cheese curds. They were indeed exceptional. Very thin breading over piping hot cheese, giving the effect of little cheesy clouds. Definitely some of the best I've had. My son had the fries, and I had one as well. They were outstanding. Crisp and seasoned in all the right ways. My husband had a burger alongside tots, and greatly enjoyed his food. I ordered the Fondue You Love Me with a side salad. As I dug into my sandwich, I kept thinking, this is good, but where's the cheese? I didn't bring up the issue with the server, because we just couldn't wait around as we had a hockey game to get to, but if you compare my sandwich pic to those posted by other people, the absence of the fondue aspect is pretty clear. To their credit, it was still a good sandwich, but it could've been amazing. At least the awesome curds had already given me a good dose of cheese for the day. read more

My main takeaway: If AI slop is your ideal restaurant decor, this place is for you. Otherwise food was fine and our server was pleasant.

I went to this restaurant because it was promoted on Twin Cities Live. I ordered the Sweet Chesus (clever name) that has cheese loaded into a ring on top of the bun. The ring is removed at the table and the cheese flows down the sides of the burger. It's a great concept, but in reality it was overwhelming in terms of the cheese. I ordered the burger medium rare, but it was more well done in places, more rare in other places. I'm not sure how that happens. The fries were excellent, as was the service. The ambiance is what you would expect for a VFW. (The 328 is located within the VFW). read more

Well here we are at 12 weeks open at their new location and service is still bad. My advice is eat before you go. By the time you get your food you well be hungry again. Also would not except gift cards from the old location. My sister in-law is out 50 bucks. read more

Wine glass came dirty with lip marks, bartender poured wine from dirty glass into new glass (ick). Waitress screwed up our order and did not remedy anything, could not eat the food?? There are so many flies in the restaurant, we were swatting them the entire time. DON'T go to this restaurant! read more

Decided to give this place a try after hearing so much about it from a coworker! It did not disappoint! This is located in a small town with parking out front. There were not any clear signs that I saw for the "328 Grill" but it's located inside the VFW. This place has that "hole in the wall" "small town" "SUPER FRIENDLY" Minnesota feel! Absolutely loved it! You also got the feel that the food was going to be fantastic... and it was!! Everyone I encountered was extremely nice! The food: We tried the Mn Poutine which uses wild rice soup! It was salty but ohhhh so good!! The cheese curds were greasy in the best way! The had great ranch and it was very tasty!! All 3 of us got the Fo'cheezy and that was full of cheesy goodness! I had the tots and they were cooked perfectly! Everything that we tried was on the saltier side but that's also what made it so tasty!! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! I'd love to come back and try some of the other options on the menu!! read more

Cajun tots & french fries crispy outside, creamy inside. Both well swasoned. Go Buck yourself burger meaty and tasted great with toppings. White sauce interesting, but garlicky good.

Bar- as to be expected for a VFW/Legion (older atmosphere & guests) had a lot of events advertised and pulltabs (3.5/5) Service- bartenders and waitresses were friendly and talkative and gave great recommendations, however were not attentive to needing refills or giving people tabs when it seemed they were finished (4/5) Wings- very tasty with a crispy outside and juicy inside, dry rub had lots of flavor and the ranch served with wings appeared to be homemade (4.6/5) The big dill- juicy, cooked to medium, good blend of toppings, not as pickly as imagined, comparable to a Big Mac, but fresher (4.7/5) The Elizabeth- juicy, cooked to medium, toasted and inverted bun to avoid sogginess, very saucy, bacon not too overpowering and crispy (4.2/5) Tried the standard fries and the Cajun tots. Both were seasoned well with 14 spice, perfect crisp on the tots. Will be back! read more

We went for the Friday night fish fry and it was a wonderful time. The fish was tasty, fresh and hot. I enjoyed the Mac n cheese and the cheesy potatoes were very tasty. The service was great and we had little to no wait for a table. A member of our party got a burger instead of fish they really enjoyed it. I can't wait to come back and try some other burgers on the menu. read more

This place is not as great as it is hyped up to be. While a great addition to the Hastings community, with cool inside ambiance and decor, the food ( with running average ticket times of 50 minutes) is mediocre at best. A+ for service, ambiance, menu selection and creativity. C minus for food flavor and ticket times. You've been in business for 5 plus years now, so no excuses for long food wait. If your passing thru town with time to spare then yes, please stop and enjoy a burger and great Sunday music on the patio. If you are looking for a quick, mouth- watering bite, this is not the place. read more

My wife and I had the fish and chips and coleslaw, It's by far one of the best fish and chips we ever had. A+

Do you suffer from excessive yawning when someone mentions going out to an American Legion? Have you ever feared about what kind of locals you may encounter when visiting said establishment? Do you worry about the potential gut rot associated with buffet dining? FEAR NO MORE. Growing up, I've had my fair share of receptions in dimly lit banquet halls. Yet, word spreads like the plague when restoration is in order. When people who doesn't always wear a capes break a social stigma (regarding legions and VFWs having only popcorn and the occasional fish fry), a community begins to flourish with excitement. I'm not sure what kind of wizards are back there in the kitchen, but they should never let go of their burger secrets. Like, padlocked in a vault and buried in the woods type of energy. Every ingredient makes complete sense for each sandwich. They have a wide variety of options while still not being overwhelming. Their sandwiches are big enough to fill you up without making you feel like a concrete mixer. It's thoroughly planned and precise. They offer rotating burgers of the week, which makes me salivate from anticipation prior to arriving. Attached is a photo of the Fondue You Love Me. It is essentially a chicken parmigiana inspired sandwich with a velvety mozzarella fondue. Parmesan-crusted bread keeps me from having to use too many napkins. Ask for a side of the fondue to dip your potato of choice into!! This place feels like home. Good food can really change your mindset. Memories of food are snippets of my life that I truly cherish and every thing I've had so far in about 15 visits all have jolted my tastebuds with joy. I will vow from this day forward to not judge a book based off of its initial cover regarding restaurants. Please, go support your local American Legion and VFW. You may find something magical made by mad scientists that will bring you to your knees from happiness. If you see me on the street grinning for no reason today, it's because I'm digesting the good stuff. 10/10 would smash again. read more

Finally made the trek to 328 last night. I had the No Reservations which was good, really rich though. Other tablemates all had the 328 burger. They were out of the Jalepeno burger patties which was a bummer. I'm going to agree with another poster that I don't think a plain burger alone would stand up to the hype (for me the patty was too firm/pressed) - but if you're a "toppings" burger fan these were great. The Gruyère was delicious as was the herbed mayo. We also ordered Buffalo wings and cool ranch dry rub wings. Both were pretty good, cooked crispy. I usually don't care for buffalo but these were good and not overwhelmingly vinegary tasting. It was bingo night and very busy so service was pretty slow, but friendly! read more

Don't get nervous when you pull up tonthe American Legion - you're in the right place! Walk in and seat yourself; the server will come by relatively soon. This place specializes in burgers and I would say, they seem to hit it out of the park, as that seemed to be the bulk of what was coming out of the kitchen. I got the chicken sandwich (I really love comparing them across bars) with the wild rice soup, hubs had the burger of the week which was called Holy Shiitake (I give it points just for the cute name) with Cajun tots. This concoction had duxelle mushrooms, Dijon sauce, arugula, and havarti. If I was in the mood for something richer, I think I would have gotten that. I enjoyed the sandwich, nothing overly special, but was tasty. That soup, though, was delicious. Hubs liked the burger, but he did mention the tots were a little salty. Tap beer prices are great also. They seem to have bingo on Tuesday nights and the cardboard crack stand was poppin'! Service was friendly and fairly fast. read more

This place has been on my list for sometime now. Finally, my bestie and I took the ride to Saint Paul Park to see what the hype is all about. We walked in and you could hear a pen drop it was so quiet .... Bingo was in session (I get it, I love bar bingo too). Note, 328 Grill is located inside the VFW. From my understanding its seat yourself... at least that's what we did. We waited about 5/10 minutes before we were helped, not a huge deal, it was fairly steady for a Tuesday night. Our waitress was fine. We ordered the cheese curds to start. For meals, we had the jalapeño bizness burger with Cajun fries and the fried chicken Sammy with fries. We asked for the fries to be cooked extra/crispy and our waitress was a little snippy... she said the kitchen is busy so if they are able to. However, our fries came out extra crispy.... Very good. Burger was good. Wasn't spicy hot, nice jalapeno flavor. Unfortunately, the chicken sandwich was alright. Too much mayo for my liking. I probably wouldn't get that again. The cheese curds had a nice breading/flavor on them. However, some curds had no cheese in them, so that was a bummer. Overall, good experience. One downfall, kitchen is only open til 8:00pm. read more
