We made a quick lunch stop at this Jersey Mike's location during a recent road trip. It was…read moreconveniently located right off of I-90, so the family pointed it out right away. Our stop was on a Saturday mid-afternoon. The store was clean and the workers were friendly. The order taker / bread cutter / meat slicer was friendly and engaging. He got us started on the right foot. Then the next employee, putting the rest of the sandwich together, took this visit downhill for us. She, despite asking us each what ingredients we wanted / didn't want, managed to mess up several of our sandwiches. For example - I ask for "easy mayo" on my sandwich. Later i was wiping off gobs of mayo that were oozing from my sandwich. One of my daughters always gets a ham & cheese, plain with just pickles and oil. She even said, "no vinegar, please." The girl still drenched her sandwich in oil and vinegar. Another member of my group asks for easy vinegar...boom, soaked in vinegar! For the most part, we just rolled with the sandwich errors. The "easy vinegar" person tried their sandwich but later elected to go back for a remake. I love Jersey Mike's, but in today's world with everything being so expensive, you've got to make sure that the customer is getting what they ask for. With 5 people in our group and only 1 or 2 getting what they asked for, the score for this location takes a hit. Not bad...good location, clean store, friendly employees. Also, not good with the lack of paying attention by the sandwich maker. Maybe if I'm ever passing through Albert Lea, MN again, I'll give this place another shot!?

One slice of turkey on the entire sandwich is joke. Should've spent my money elsewhereread more

The batter was so hard I couldn't even eat one piece, so I broke the other piece in half and scooped some fish out. The baked potato was ok but felt old and hard on the bottom. The soup wasn't as good as it could have been, but good. We were so disappionted. I looked to see if they got new owners or maybe a new cook. We will not be ordering fish on Friday again.

I wasn't too impressed with my mac at all. Would not get again. My mom hated the soup, it was way too thick, was more of a chowder type base. She only took a few bites of it. My step dad loved his sandwich though.

The tables around us that sat after us were waited upon pretty quick. The young guy that finally came to our table seemed like it was his first day. He knew little about the menu and barely talked. Anyways, we ordered a flatbread pizza and the cream cheese olive burger. It took a while to get the food, but it was good. The burger was cooked well and had a lot of toppings. The fries were tasty and crispy. Overall, it was ok. I'd like to go back just to give it another shot.

We had omelets and they were well done. The hashbrowns could have been browned longer but I do like mine extra crispy. You definitely get some of the Viking atmosphere with the dark wood, high ceilings, and huge fireplace. We didn't try Ragnor's Grill tho, Food was reasonably priced.

My review is based on 3 separate visits to & from Minnesota. My wife & I are both Scandinavian so of course we loved the Viking/Nordic theme with tall ceilings & a large Fireplace. We have ordered the Skol classic Breakfast/ Brisket Melt w Mac & Cheese & multiple times the Breakfast Tot - Chos ( Heaping plate of tots covered w Gravy, Cheese & Eggs ) Everything has always been very good & served quite quickly. My only complaint is that you have to go get your own refreshments & when done eating you have to go stand in line at the cash register to pay your bill. But other than that we very much enjoyed all 3 visits to the Skol Tavern & we will absolutely return again.

Is it like Worcestershire sauce and the name is pronounced completely differently from how any reasonably intelligent person would expect? Truly, a mystery for the ages. As a business traveler, eating healthy on the road can be challenging. A burrito here isn't the healthiest thing, but by comparison to the Pizza Ranch directly behind this place, it's like gobbling Dexatrim. If you have never been to any of these types of places, it follows the "point and shuffle" format where you move along a cafeteria style ingredient bar and point at everything you want in your burrito or other dish. Service is quite fast, as the server needs only to slop a spoonful of each ingredient on your tortilla or into a dish. I saved the best for last: the amenities! This place has electrical outlets! Glorious 120 volt AC electricity! As a professional on the road for work, this is a luxury that I rarely get to enjoy when dining and working. My laptop has one of the most power hungry GPUs known to mankind: the ravenous RTX 5000, which eats battery life like Pac-Man eats dots. When it's time to get some work done after eating, having electrical power right at my table makes my life less stressful. I can focus on my work and not be stressed out about how long my battery will last. This place is awesome.

For example, they didn't drain my husband's beans so his bowl was a soupy mess. There were 3 ppl working. Pretty much just standing around by the stove.
