    Garlic Breaded Mushrooms
    Cale S.

    Bavarian pretzel The Bavarian pretzel was spot on. It had a bready and chewy shell with a smooth pretzel flavor that didn't get overpowered with large salt pebbles. 4/5 Eggrolls. The eggrolls were fine. They were cooked well, but they may have been frozen before they were fried. Fine for a late night snack. 3/5 Breaded mushrooms The mushrooms were super moist and juicy. And they have a great flavor, but you must like mushrooms because they have a strong earthy after taste. 4.25/5.

    Can get really busy, luckily they have 3 bars! The service depends on business, gotta remember how busy it gets here constantly

    Excellent food and drink variety and service. The highlight here is their extensive selection of pinball machines, and vintage arcade games.

The drinks are consistently delicious, and my go-to is the pumpkin spice espresso martini so yummy and perfect for fall vibes. They also do fun events and collabs. I went to their Pilates, Pints, and Pumpkins event where we did Pilates, carved pumpkins, and enjoyed pumpkin spice martinis afterward. Such a cool way to celebrate the season! Plus, they have a huge beer wall and even Screwball on tap perfect for catching a game. On Wednesdays, they host trivia followed by karaoke later in the evening. Definitely check out this hidden gem if you're in the area!

Fun drink selection, seasonal was a nice touch. The batting simulator was just ok, doesn't pick up on grounders and just overall not very exciting, wouldn't return to do that but it was fun to try once. Kids enjoyed the arcade but it was very expensive and the claw machines are the type that shake the item and aren't strong enough to carry them to the drop which just disappoints. Parking is easy. Good for family night out, corporate event or evening out with friends/casual date.

We've…read morenoticed it countless times on our way to Hajime next door, so we figured it was finally time to check it out. The restaurant was understaffed - the bartender was not only running the bar but also serving the entire dining area. We sat at the bar and waited about 10 minutes before being greeted. We also overheard a nearby table voice frustration about the slow service. We're pretty patient, so it wasn't the end of the world, but it was noticeably slow. That said, once we were helped, our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered a Spicy Margarita and my husband went with an Old Fashioned. My margarita was on the weaker side; not bad, just forgettable. My husband enjoyed his Old Fashioned. For food, we tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and the Crab-Stuffed Portabella. The standout was definitely the Bang Bang Shrimp; we both really liked it. The lettuce wraps and stuffed mushroom were fine, just not dishes we'd return specifically for. The overall vibe was calm and low-key, and the staff was kind despite being stretched thin. I'm glad we gave it a try, but it's probably not a place we'll be rushing back to.

You sit at a table and order off your phone, and servers will bring your food and drinks out to you. Had no problem with that, it was a fairly easy process. Our servers were kind and I believe we talked to the owner for a bit who was attentive to all the tables! The food is the disappointing piece. I had the chicken rojo avocado tacos and they really lacked flavor. There was plenty of chicken in such a small tortilla, which made the taco fall apart as you ate. My sister ordered the pesto Mac and cheese with chicken and it was okay, but the chicken was not good. I didn't try the tenderloin bowl, but it seemed to have better reviews than my meal or my sisters from my family. I don't make my way out to Blaine often enough to try again, but I think this would be a better spot for pizzas and milkshakes.

The gps sent me to a roundabout and told me the restaurant was the center of the roundabout. had to go back to the main road and detour all the way around then there was signs. Its seat yourself. You order at the counter or via QR code via your phone and they bring your food to you. I ordered an impossible cheeseburger + fries & a dirty soda. Everything was good. They had a walleye fish special going on, my friends shared that & fries for their meal. Not much interaction w/ staff as it's mostly help yourself but someone did come out and greet us and made sure we knew how the ordering process worked. Overall kinda loud sports bar (w/out drinks) vibe. ***Used to be a brewery attached, no longer operating there. They do not serve alcohol.

Everything seems fresh and homemade. I LOVE hot turkey sandwiches and consider myself a turkey sandwich snob because the quality of different restaurants vary so much. Carol's is the real deal with obviously hand-carved pieces of real turkey that are as good as Thanksgiving leftovers from your mom (assuming your mom was a great cook). The gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce were equally excellent. My wife had a tuna sandwich, and a cup of tomato soup. Service was quick and friendly. Although the inside of Carol's reminds you of Perkins, the food quality is consistently high. I have not been here for breakfast, but that seems to be another of their specialties. It's impressive to find an old-time, high quality, high variety diner experience in town (well, almost in town) and I'm so happy that places like Carol's still exist.
