Can't wait to come back and enjoy the patio with my entire family this summer. Ambiance 5/5. Outdated decor just like all VFWs, but this one has AMAZING views of the Mississippi River, so the ugly furniture doesn't even matter anymore. Free and plentiful parking never hurts either. Food 4/5. Broasted chicken was perfect with bubbly crispy skin and tender meat! Sides were okay, but not as good. Next time, I'll get chicken only. The mashed potatoes and gravy came as a generous portion. It also came with some baked beans and coleslaw. Service 5/5. Great service too. I just wanted to get some chicken to take home, but my server said it was a 20 minute wait for Broasted Chicken and offered me a complimentary soda to enjoy while I waited. I got to enjoy a beautiful sunset overlooking the river while I waited.

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.

Ambiance and Experience: I'm glad they turn this beautiful historic building into a cool place to…read morehang out in near downtown Hastings. Restaurant and bar area are pretty large and can see quite a bit of people and when it is warmer out there is a huge patio that overlooks the Mississippi River. Great date night spot. Rustic, modern, and charming throughout the space. Very thoughtfully repurposed. Drinks: We tried the Hastings 14 and the Gold Dandy. My wife especially like the Hastings 14 and it was mixed with edible glitter which heightened the drinks look and experience. Very interesting drink. My Gold Dandy was a refreshing whiskey-forward sipper. Food: I had a burger and my wife had the shrimp. My burger was pretty good and was cooked to perfection, soft, juicy and pink in the middle. I enjoyed the rosemary fries, good savory flavor that balance the sweetness from the burger. My wife's shrimp were perfectly cooked and her brussel sprouts were tasty. Overall: A great date night location or a place for any occasion when you're looking for a drink and a bite to eat. If it is during the warmer months you will have a great experience on there vast riverfront patio. A great dining and drinking option to downtown Hasting's waterfront.

Went here with a friend after a hike on a Sunday afternoon…read more Was happy to see we could still get some breakfast items later in the day. It was really relaxed and plenty of seating. We asked to be seated near the window so we could see the river. I tried the Riverfront Sangria which I was very happy with. It was the perfect choice for our lunch. My friend chose the BYO mimosa. Build your own which provides you with a choice of two juices so you can mix and match or enjoy them separately with your prosecco. My friend had the Spiral Breakfast sandwich with bacon instead of ham, she was very pleased and it looked very filling! Came with some cheesy hashbrowns as well. I chose the harvest salad which was full of fall flavors like butternut squash, cranberry and pumpkin seeds. The dressing was a little heavy but otherwise I was extremely happy with my choice! It was a perfect portion size. This was a great end to our hike!

Where do I start? I'll break it down into categories. No particular order of importance…read more First, I want to start by saying I came on a Saturday at 10am. I was afraid that would be a hot/busy time. It was busy but I barely waited. I got the Iced Downtowner. - YUM. I'm going to think about that for the next week non-stop. Not too sweet. Just perfect. Sometimes coffee places have weird flavored espresso. This was so good. I got the Breakfast Toastie and got a Sausage Patty instead of Ham. *mic drop* That was so good. I'm a sourdough baker and was SO pleased with the sourdough magic they created. It was thinner than an English muffin but not too thin. (I need to know how they make that). The bakery case was stocked well and I was eyeing the blueberry scone - I somehow showed self control and didn't get it. Line moved quick, and had to wait MAYBE 5mins to get my drink and food. The seating throughout the house is so cute. Every room of the house has different seating. Booths, "dining room tables", etc. It was so cute nicely decorated too. I had been waiting so long to come here and I'm so glad I finally got to go. I will be back, and will recommend it to everyone.

I got a cappuccino that was good but not great. They use peace coffee.... I'm a fan but with all of these little places having their own special grinds and single origin it's hard to be above average when they use mass produced coffee. Overall the place is great to bring kids or to meet a few friends. The ambience is a big selling point. Not a bad place in downtown Hastings !

Stopped at this place for their outdoor swings but unfortunately the swings weren't available at…read morethe time. Even without the swings, the ambiance was nice with light music in the background. They had a well stocked bar and the bartender, Jake did a great job serving us our drinks. They also provide 5 slot machines, pull tab machines and 2 pool tables available. Their bathroom was neat and tidy with 2 stalls and 1 sink. The toilet paper was a little thin for my liking but it worked and I won't complain about that! This was a fun little stop, wouldn't mind coming back in the summer time.

Super friendly staff that handled a very busy play offs day with no issues! We had the burger of the month, a pretzel bacon burger, pizza dippers, and Korean meatballs. All of it was as delicious. I would say the pizza dippers were the best. It's a large serving with a tasty dip.

We also wanted to know if they had beyond burgers,because we saw it on the online menu but didn't see it on the actual menu. The young lady went and checked for us and said yes they did have it. We waited for our friends to show and the waitress was so very patient, she came back a few times after they had arrived to see if we were ready yet, but they weren't ready to order food just yet. After some time another young lady came and asked if we were ready to order we said yes and ordered our food. I ordered a cheese curd burger with a Beyond burger patty with fries, my wife had ordered a Won Ton Burger with a Beyond Patty and fries. The food came out probably between 10-20 mins after we ordered. When the food came out it was very appeasing to the eyes and it smelled great!I couldn't wait to dig in. I tried my food and the house Ranch dressing and it all tasted great! My wife loved her food as well, and she doesn't even care for beyond burgers. The only thing that i would suggest that they can improve on is the temperature of the food. My wife's and my food wasn't hot or warm. I also wish that the beyond burger option was on the actual menu. Thank you for having Amazing service and super tasty food!
