Was staying locally for a business trip and decided to try Chuggers out. The place was nice,…read morefriendly folks and a good selection to choose from on the menu. Typical bar food things to select from. The interior was clean and comfortable. The food was decent and portions were large. My only complaint is that the grill is an open concept in the bar area so you see everything being prepared. I was shocked to see the grill cook handle all the food items with bare hands. Then he would take a seat at the bar only to get up and cook more food without washing his hands. Rather disgusting in my book thus the 3 rating.

We were in town because of a Saturday high school soccer game and looking for a place to eat. The…read morebar and grill was a divey bar but well kept. We started our order with cheese curds. They were out rather fast and were your basic packaged curds. I would certainly go with the chicken wings next time. On person in our party of 6 ordered them as a main course and they were very good. Crispy batter and juicy chicken. I elected to try the Patty melt because it promoted a HUGE patty. Well my HUGE is much different than this one! The patty melt had good taste but I would certainly go with a different selection next time. The texas toast was toasted perfectly but it was just small. The tots were good but I wouldn't pay the upcharge next time. The FF are much better. My wife had Chicken bacon/ranch sandwich. She said it was moist with a crispy batter. She was very happy with the quantity and quality of the meal. Other in our party had the Eye opener (breakfast) burger with FF and like I said the FF are the right choice. Burger was good. Other meal order was boneless wings. they were also a good choice. Overall an OK place to eat. Certainly better than the McD down the street.

I looked to order the Huevos Divorciados for a second time only as I have not seen them on any menus elsewhere. Hot chips brought to the table with salsa. The meal was again served hot and delicious! The red sauce was spicier than the green but both equally delicious in very different ways due to the sauces. The lunch menu gives you pared down options of their meal menu reflected in cheaper prices. Can't wait to stop again and explore their menu options!

It's worth it to know what is good and what is just, meh ok…read more Been though here a handful of times, always order something different. The menu is like 6 pages long, consistent with other Mexican joints there's endless combinations. Fajitas kind of greasy and I'm not a fan of the mushrooms and zucchini in the mix. Enchiladas are saucy, just too much sauce. Not my favorite. Puff taco really good, seems more fresh, has good combination of flavors. I've had Burrito supreme and Burrito California, both have been my favorite items. They are big, it will fill up larger appetites for sure.

The Burger Monarchy: A Paradox of Plenty in Miesville In the…read morequiet, pastoral stretches outside Eagan, there exists a roadside institution that defies the modern trend of curated minimalism. King's Place in Miesville is a relic of a different era, a burger joint that functions less like a restaurant and more like a high-volume assembly line of Americana. The menu is not merely large; it is an overwhelming, multi-page manifesto of beef. With roughly 80 to 100 variations on the burger--many named in tribute to the local Miesville Mudhens baseball team--the experience begins with a bout of genuine decision paralysis. For the average diner, the sheer volume of choices feels like a dare. It is a place where you can find almost any topping imaginable, which makes the absence of a simple fried mushroom all the more jarring. It is the one note the kitchen fails to hit in an otherwise exhaustive symphony. When the food does arrive, the logistics are the primary entertainment. The floor staff at King's Place perform a nightly feat of athletic grace, weaving through the crowded, character-filled dining room while balancing five or more burger trays at a time. It is a spectacle of efficiency that puts the sterile, automated nature of modern chains to shame. However, one must navigate the side dishes with a discerning eye. While the temptation to "upgrade" is always present, the seasoned waffle fries are an investment that yields little return; they are best skipped in favor of the standard fare. The real value here lies in the core product and the refreshing lack of pretension. Despite the fame and the daunting menu, the pricing remains stubbornly reasonable, a rare feat for an establishment that has transitioned from a local secret to a regional landmark. "Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger." -- Channing Tatum For those seeking the predictable polish of a franchise, King's Place will be a confusing sensory overload. But for the traveler who values soul, speed, and a price point that respects the wallet, this is a kingdom worth visiting--just don't expect to find a fried mushroom on your plate.

Driving back through town we wanted to make a stop at Crooked Pint Ale House as we remembered the…read moredelicious burger we had last year. We stopped in for happy hour and we were immediately sat by the hostess. She was super sweet and friendly. I didn't catch our servers name but she was very attentive and friendly as well. It was taco Tuesday but we were craving that burger. Crooked Pint did not disappoint! Another yummy, juicy burger! We both ordered the Juicy Lucy and added lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It definitely is juicy. So good. Unfortunately the onion rings were not up to par. Couldn't taste the onions at all. They just tasted like breading. But, the burger is terrific so try another side other than the onion rings. They had someone announcing a trivia game that patrons could choose to participate. The questions were not easy so it made it a fun challenging game.

We were invited to try The Quarry Taphouse, what a fun evening at a really nice venue. I like the…read moreidea of tossing rocks at a wall full of fun things to hit vs. tossing an Ax, seems like such a better idea. We got a bucket of rocks to toss at the wall filled with lots of metal objects, a chime, some Tonka trucks. They also had a fun crane that you can pickup blocks and try to stack them up or build something. The venue is an old Hastings building that has a ton of character. The Tap Wall has a good variety of beers and ciders. They change them up weekly. The costs per/ounce seems reasonable. They have the types of beverage broken down by type (IPA/Dark...) which is helpful. The cost/ounce varies depending on what you are getting. We tried several different menu items and all were good - the three different kinds of cheese curds along with the wide variety of wings (both bone in and boneless). They also have a lot of great sauces to add to your wings or curds. I also tried the Caprese flat bread, yum. We also tried a couple of the specialty cocktails, I really like the Honey Jalapeno Marg! The wait staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had.

We stopped and grabbed some drinks, I got a beer and then saw the drinks of the month and had to try the watermelon mule. It was fantastic! Really enjoyed it! The hubby just sipped on a beer. We got 2 small buckets of rocks for $2 and went to the area to throw some rocks. The $1 a bucket was totally a great deal and simple enough without dropping major money on something so novel, but also really great. The service was a bit to be desired as despite multiple bartenders (and not many people) it took a while to get drinks or service, but the quality was great of the drinks.

I went with a couple of buddies and we sat at the bar, the bartender was very friendly and was telling us stories about the busy night she had on Christmas Day. I ended up getting a mixed drink called the Delorean which was Guinness mixed with Skrewball. The drink itself was strong yet good, and they had a promo going on so I ended up getting the whole thing for just a dollar. They had sándwich and other food options as well but I just went for the drink. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're spending anytime in Prior Lake.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Throughout the years I've gone to Carbones…read morenumerous times however, each time I've been disappointed with the quality of food and service. What really pushed me over the edge was an experience I had a year ago. My friends and I had made our way down to Carbones to buy some wings from their promotional event. During our time there we had waited for 30 min...then another 30 min and then another 30 min! Eventually, we got up and approached our waiter to ask where our food was. We were told that it would only be a little bit more time. So we waited about 30 more minutes and finally our food came out. To our surprise the wings that we ordered were all undercooked. When mentioning this to our waiter, and thus the general manager, she seemed very, VERY annoyed with us. Keep in mind that we had been waiting for about two hours. The general manager immediately snapped back asking what was the problem with food, even though it was obvious that they forgot about us and rushed our order (thus the raw wings). rather than admitting that they were undercooked, she said she would make us an order again more to our "liking" if you can't believe it, this isn't even the worst part of our experience! . When it came time to pay the bill we were informed the credit card service was off-line and we had to make a cash payment. We didn't know what to do because we did not have cash. The general manager came and informed us that we had to go to an ATM and withdraw cash. However, she made it very, very clear that we were not allowed to all go together, implying that we were going to try to "steal the food" and by implying, I mean, she said that , "You better not all leave, one of you has to stay". What made me so upset about this interaction is that we were the ONLY people of color inside of the restaurant and she did not have the same tone of voice or language with any of the other customers AT ALL! I paid very close attention to how she spoke to the other customers. It was not our fault that their credit card service went down, but the fact that she demanded that one of us stay while someone had to go to the ATM was so disrespectful. Keep in mind this was the manager saying this! We had been to Carbones multiple times before this, and we always tipped! It seems there was only 1 reason for her to treat us like this.... We ended up sending one person out to the ATM to collect cash and STILL left a tip because it was the manager treating us poorly not our waiter. Would not recommend this place to anyone!

My husband had the Bayside Burger with fries with house seasoning. The fries were SO good- hot and fresh. No complaints on the burger. I had the jerk chicken wrap with grilled chicken.

The flavor on the jerk chicken was great. Finished with a slice of banana cream pie which was good. Would definitely come back.
