I wish I would have discovered 7 West Taphouse sooner! There is a Duluth location, but I'm happy they opened up one in St. Cloud. Located right in downtown St. Cloud, 7 West Taphouse offers a variety of beers...whether you're into porters, ciders, IPAs, etc. you'll find a beer you love here! I went with a few friends during Happy Hour and noticed they have quite the selection of beers on hand. In general, I enjoyed their ciders even though I am not a big beer person. During Happy Hour, you receive $1 off all beers and they also offer $4 wine! You can't go wrong! We all shared their cheese curds ($4.99) for an appetizer and all agreed they were great! The taphouse sauce is a great pairing for them, and the cheese is exactly how it should be: gooey. The only downside to this app is that they barely give you any cheese curds. We thought someone had eaten part of our appetizer since there was not very many to begin with (refer to photo). I wouldn't say this is the most "shareable" appetizer. We wanted to have some bites of our own too and I chose the Carnitas Tacos ($5.99), my friends chose the Chicken Tenders ($4.99) and the Jalapeno Popper Burger. The chicken tenders looked different than any tenders I've seen before, but my friend enjoyed them. She said they had a nice texture to them, and they were tasty! My other friend has purchased the jalapeno popper burger before and loves it. It also has cream cheese on it too! A unique burger that will surely tap into several different flavors. As for my carnitas tacos, they were good but I don't think I would order them again. They didn't stand out against other local tacos I've had, and they loaded it up with the pico de gallo, but nearly no meat. Our waitress was wonderful! She checked back with us several times and was very patient with our beer selection. She promptly served us the different beer samples we requested, and had such a positive attitude despite how busy the place got closer to dinner time! Sidenote: Their bathrooms are the best/most clean bathrooms I've ever been in in downtown St. Cloud. For those of you who fear downtown bathrooms, no need to fear their's! This is a local spot that I will visit again! I was so pleased! read more

Great place. New to the area. Good beer and cider. Waitress not only nice but efficient. Enjoyed the experience we will be back.

As a broke college student this is a good place to get some grub and not break the bank! Good for the money!

I've had more than one person say that the food here is good, and inexpensive. I'm happy to report that this is, indeed, the case. It's located in between Subway and Greek Cravings, across from House of Pizza and the Red Carpet, near Pioneer Place and D.B. Searle's and Jimmy John's, so there are a few restaurants to choose from in this block. It's a dark, bar and grill, atmosphere, with the grill located in the back, the bar in the middle and some booths near the bar, and tables near the front. There are a few televisions, but nothing crazy like some places in town. That's nice. It makes it feel like you could actually visit with friends here. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. You can order any of their starter items (fries, cheese curds, etc.) as a side, so I did that. This place is known for their hamburgers, but I didn't want to overpower the taste of the burger with all kinds of toppings, so I ordered the Plain Jane ($3.99) with sauteed onions (free on any burger), along with a side of cheese curds. They have a number of specialty burgers, but I was surprised not to find a "juicy lucy" on their menu. First off, the cheese curds resemble the kind you could get at most places in the area, including A & W's. There wasn't anything special about them, except that they were served with some delicious tap house sauce, which went very well with them. Onto the burger. The burger was fresh and not frozen. I could tell that by the shape, the look, and the fat that came off of it. As burgers go, it was pretty tasty, juicy, and fresh. I liked it very much. It was a considerable burger in size, and I liked the seared, soft bun it was served on, and the generous portion of sauteed onions, as well as the three pickles on the side. I'd have to say it's in my top five burger pick for the St. Cloud area. It looks like they have a massive collection of beers on tap, which is awesome. On Saturdays, you can order a flight of beers for $6. They also have other monthly food, and daily specials, which you can learn about by signing up for their rewards program on your mobile. I was generally quite pleased with my experience and the food here. It would be a nice place to come with friends, especially after or before seeing a show or sporting event, perhaps at SCSU. It was quite quiet when I was here, but I can imagine it getting quite busy on Friday and Saturday evenings. Two thumbs up for The Seven! read more

Always great service. Food comes out so fast! You can't beat the prices and the atmosphere. Haylee was such a good server and bartender!!:)

First time here and did take out. Bartender was very friendly which was nice. Asked about the fries first because I saw the review about how greasy they are. I love fries but can't stand overly greasy fries so I had to ask. I asked and was assured they weren't super greasy. The picture I uploaded says otherwise :( most were inedible. The burgers purchased were the old cheddar. I changed the cheese to pepper jack and added avo. It was ok. The burgers are hard and not really juicy. The olive and cream cheese was also purchased it was also rated as just ok. The jalapeño poppers description didn't say there was a bacon wrapped cheese curd. It said breaded cheese. Which means the same as a cheese curd in case you're wondering. I also asked if the cheese curds were more like state fair cheese curds or more like heavily breaded cheese. They said state fair cheese curds. The picture I uploaded says otherwise :(. It's not bad but not good just ok. What is great is the bartenders friendly service. Very bubbly band friendly. Tap house sauce is good. read more

I had the beer cheese wontons...so good! If we lived here I'd come regularly for them. Our burgers were also done well-lots of flavor. The service was fast and friendly. There are only two things bringing this down to a 4. The fries were too greasy. Looks like that's a common comment, hopefully they learn how to address that. Secondly, we're not beer drinkers so we ordered pop. it was served in a can. No glass. No ice. Just a can. we would definitely go back if we come through town again. read more

This is my favorite place to eat in St Cloud. Great beer selection and amazing burgers, the chips are a great side to the burgers.

First time here yesterday, food was really good. Burgers were cooked perfectly. Glad we tried it, will more than likely come back. read more

11/6 I normally love eating here but my last experience was less than stellar. They didn't melt the cheese fully on my significant other's burger and my olive burger had cold cream cheese. The wonton app was really good though . read more

I like that they ar following COVID-19 rules for distancing and still keep a good service.

This place has seriously turned itself around for the better in the past year or so. The wait staff are attentive and friendly, and the food always arrives pretty quickly after ordering. Their menu has a lot of variety which is nice. The tacos are great, but watch out for the cajun sour cream and blackened seasoning if you're a wimp bc it's spicy!! I love their chicken tenders with the creamy BBQ sauce...so delicious and way better than boring BBQ sauce out of a squeeze bottle. They always have a great and huge selection of beers on tap and are great about letting you sample before ordering one. Everything is reasonably priced. The jalapeno cream cheese wontons are reason enough for me to keep coming back. YUMMMM read more

Great beer selection, and the food has gotten better since the new menu. It actually feels like there are fewer beer options than before also. read more

Ya'll, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you about this treasure of a tap house. I ordered the Jalapeno Beer Cheese Wontons first... a decent portion for the price, and yum yum yum! And the appetizer was delivered in mere minutes after I had ordered. Just a couple of wontons in, and my main course was delivered. The Sticky Pork Bowl is full of flavor and texture, and was literally perfect, especially since it has a bit of bite to it, which I love. Crispy yet tender pork belly with rice noodles and veggies and sprinkled with fried wonton strips and green onions... simple yet fantastic. The perfect amount of food for the price, too. I also want to give a shout out to my server Ramona, a bubbly lady running her tail off and still taking time to cheer on the cooks, telling them "you're killing it, guys!". Team work and comradeship at its best. Thanks, 7-West St. Cloud for a memorable and delightful lunch... I'll be back for sure! read more

Yikes, I have no idea how this place has a 4 star rating. We stopped in on a slow Sunday, and the waitstaff could not have been less receptive or helpful upon our arrival. When we asked what burgers were popular, the waitress said "I never eat red meat, so I wouldn't know." The reply and the attached attitude left a lot to be desired. We all ordered burgers, and all 4 of them came very well done. It would be no exaggeration to say Burger King's food was MANY steps above 7West. If you have any other options, I highly recommend avoiding this place. read more

Good food, good beers, good prices. Kid friendly. Nice atmosphere. Need a few more characters or it won't post my review, this should do it. read more

Came here for a late dinner last night with my son. It was about 9 pm on a Monday night so not packed at all. He ordered the California burger with avocado. I had what seemed to be their house salad and added grilled chicken, avocado and the lime vinaigrette. My son loved his burger. I enjoyed my salad. The lime vinaigrette was pretty good...although I did feel the chicken could be seasoned more and was almost dry. Overall, I would order it again though. I figure it was due to it being late. Also the service was great. Servers were really friendly and the food arrived fairly fast. read more

I got the One Eyed Jack burger, egg was perfect, just a little gooey but not run down the burger gooey, just the way it should be. Queso wasn't really queso, more like nacho cheese. Chipotle ranch dip was great though. YOU MUST get the Creole Aioli!! read more

This is my second time here and it was a great experience! My fiancé is quite picky when it comes to "downtown" but the relaxed atmosphere, food, prices, and all the beer options really made him enjoy the experience. They have homemade chips and fries very good!!! We got the fish tacos and each had a flight of beer. The service was good (for only having one person on staff for both bar and dining) the food and drinks were great! Check it out! read more

This is hands down the place to be in St. Cloud! The beers on tap are amazing coupled with delicious food make 7 West a must see destination. The only thing better than the food and beer is the service. Steve and his staff have mastered the art of ambience and dining experience. Go see for yourself. read more

Yesterday, my fella and I gave 7 West a shot--and it was mostly a great experience. The place is really clean, the service is exceptional and the beer selection is pretty swell--it was a delight to see so many taps dominated with legitimate craft options. Both the bartender and servers were very friendly and knowledgable about their beers; we overheard a few inquiries about what to order and the servers were more than happy to make suggestions! With all that said, let's talk about the food. Major points awarded for making their own chips and fries. We ordered both, and while the chips were great, the fries were greasy and soggy. The burgers, sadly, leave MUCH to be desired. It's groovy that they come out lightning fast, but the speed greatly affects the quality of the actually patty, in my opinion. I like my burgers closer to the mid-rare/rare side and it's always a huge disappointment when places that specialize burgers can't cook them to order (their grill equipment cooks both sides simultaneously--that's what we were told when we inquired about cooking to preferred temp). Also, skip out on the Tater-tot-hot-dish burger, it's pretty bland. The Reuben burger is top notch (and again, would be even better if the patty wasn't cooked to death). The prices are really reasonable though, so if you're out boozing and need something delicious to soak up some of the excess, definitely stop on in. read more

Had a ton of fun here, seriously loved the staff here and all the other establishments we bounced around to. They were doing a special on a locally owned and operated cider company which was really neat to be a part of! read more

What a delight; great food at even greater prices! Our server, Aksel, was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The ambience is about what you would expect from a downtown bar and grill. The food was phenomenal. The fajita blackened fish tacos were simple yet extremely flavorful. The sweet and spicy chili sauce complimented the fish perfectly. The sugar daddy burger was mouthwatering! The monstrous patty was filled with flavor and bun was soft as a pillow. The beer sautéed onions were a delectable addition and the fries were equally tasty! I would definitely recommend their creamy barbecue, too! All in all, our plates were cleaned and our faces were smiling! read more

THE BEST FRIES IN THE WORLD. Their burgers are absolutely amazing also, and so are their chicken tenders. One of my favorite restaurants.

Terrible experience. First cheese curds were cold, not kinda cold but cold cold. Then after 45 minutes we never saw our order, so we paid for cold appetizers & warm drinks and left. Never again. I would give zero stars if I could. read more

I wish I could give 3.5 stars. The good: Service was outstanding! Benjamin was very helpful with beer selection and was Benny on the spot when we were getting low. Never ran out of beer. Beer selection was also fantastic! A lot of good local beers. Something for everyone. The atmosphere was very relaxed as well and the menu is fairly unique and had variety. My wife's burger was pretty tasty she said. The bad: I ordered my burger with two changes. Add an OE egg and swap pretzel bun for regular. They nailed the egg but didn't swap the bun or grill it. The cheese sauce on the burger had broken and was not sauce at all. I couldn't taste the onion straws either. The burger had no Seasoning. Not even S and P. They forgot our fries. They came out very quick. So quick they weren't drained or seasoned. So just greasy. Overall I would return for the vibe, beer selection, and Benjamin. read more

I honestly don't get the bad reviews on here. Every time I go here the food is amazing and the service is great! I love the OMG burger! And all the different seasonings and dipping sauces for fries. This place is awesome! read more

Terrible. Service was abhorrent. Was there 15 minutes. Talked to 2 different employees neither of whom served anything to us and disgusted we left. Will not be giving it another try read more

Had dinner with my family. The burger was good. The beer was good. The fries were awful. The were over salted and under cooked. The wait staffs reaction was "that's too bad". I have eaten here a number of times and the service was very good. This trip however was definitely below par. read more

By far and away my favorite place to eat in town and great prices. Everything is made fresh - everything. Try the sweet potato fries with dipping sauce - so very good. If you're downtown, make it a priority to eat here. It's worth it. read more

Stopped in on our trip from Minneapolis to Fargo. Based on previous reviews we were disappointed. Ordered the West-Ern burger with the special fried onions - no fried onions! However, the onion rings were delicious! Most disappointing was the service - the place was busy but not packed on a Wednesday evening. We had to get our own menus, our own silverware and we were not checked on to see how things were or if we needed anything. The root beer was good and my husband did enjoy his beer! read more

Great burgers, hot food, great tap selection and awesome service! Burgers bigger than bun and homemade. Great appetizers also. All in all enjoyable place! read more

This is one of the best places in St Cloud for food value. They have a great menu of gourmet burgers, sandwiches & tacos. Prices are ridiculously cheap for what you get. First time I came here I got he Poutine Burger. It was HUGE and I couldn't finish it all. Came with tons of fries and they have awesome dipping sauces for a little extra charge. 2nd time I came here I got the shrimp tacos, they have like a cajun cream sauce on them... to die for!! I also had green bean fries to go with that, they were only like less than $4 and tasted better than ones I've had in fancy restaurants where I paid $6-$8. Nice beer selection, great happy hour. They also have monthly burger specials that always sound enticing. Both times I was astonished at how small my bill was for the quality & quantity of food. Great place to go downtown, affordable for college kids. Would recommend this place to anybody. Will be back again for sure!! read more
