I chose the California burger and asked for sautéed onions and they said 'no problem'. The burger was nice and juicy. Bread and veggies fresh. I went with the standard kettle chips as a side. My meal was good. Enjoyed the experience. I asked about the origin of the restaurant name and they said it came from the fact that they had shelled peanuts that patrons cracked and tossed. True or not?

The onion rings were really good but not $13 good. (Sorry there isn't a picture of the onion rings. There were nine onion rings and they were hand battered and fresh.) My patty melt was OK but nothing special and hubby's hamburger was good. I know all prices have gotten higher when eating out, but these prices seemed pretty high for mediocre food that just came with chips.

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 Outdated decor just like all VFWs, but this one has AMAZING views of the Mississippi River, so the ugly furniture doesn't even matter anymore.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 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 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.

This seemed like the perfect venue for this year's celebration tolerance... suffrage, whatever you call our marriage odyssey. Missi's Sip has one of the greatest patios I've seen. Views of the river, scattered lawn seating, we'll definitely be back for casual drinks. We had a reservation that we probably didn't need. The place was not busy at all. We chose to sit on the covered porch. A great choice to enjoy one of MN's 13-14 beautiful Sunday's of the year. Not the greatest choice for elegance. The inside dining room is beautiful. This is an old, painstakingly remodeled hotel. And the dining room is a centerpiece. (I should have asked to sit inside but like most Minnesotans, we can't pass up an opportunity to dine outside without boot's coat and hat! SOOO Exciting!). Service was fine. Like I mentioned before, my choice of outdoor seating probably took a notch off both ambiance and service level. The menu has a mix of upscale casual and crafted dinner entree's. Everything looked interesting but we settled on Walleye with roasted root vegetables and wild rice pilaf and, broiled shrimp and.... Heck I don't remember what she had! Both our entrees were very good. Prepared and presented with care and very tasty. We had a bottle of wine from a small, but stocked wine list to accompany dinner. An all around great experience and a new "go to" for our list. Cool Spot - You choose the vibe - Friendly Service and Crafted entrees!

The coffee and food was excellent, felt made with love. The business is set inside of an older house which makes for so much room to spread out! We found lots of little corners to hide in and saw a bunch of people when we were there but it also felt like it was empty at the same time? Such a great vibe. There's plenty of spaces to work, play board games, or catch up with a friend which is what we did. The coffee flights were adorable as well but I'm a sucker for a good coffee flight. I can assure you that anytime I am in Hastings now I will be making a stop here because it was amazing.
