Driving back through town we wanted to make a stop at Crooked Pint Ale House as we remembered the delicious 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. read more

We stopped in after golfing at nearby Legacy. It was a beautiful afternoon so we enjoyed our drinks and snacks on the patio. I had a Summit Oatmeal Stout. There were many beers on tap to choose from. We also had to have the Ellsworth cheese curds. How can you not!? Nice light batter and squeaky cheese. Perfect savory snack. Nice large parking lot. Staff was exceptional. Our beer was only $5 so maybe happy hour? Great stop. read more

This place has the best burgers in town, easily. They're always fantastic, other food always is great as well. So I was excited when they finally got a pasta on the menu, especially being it was a creamy shrimp Cajun. However, I don't think I'd order again. It wasn't baddd, but the pasta was overcooked/mushy and tasteless with the sauce. Basically it was pretty flavorless, aside from the sausage. The sausage seemed to be the only thing that had any flavor to it, which was good. It was obviously edible and ok, but their burgers far surpass this pasta. If it had some cheese, bell pepper, carrots, onion etc maybe it'd have more flavor? Food always comes quick with good service. read more

I love outdoor dining and this place had such a cute area. Josh and I had drinks and our waitress was friendly, i was also able to taste some beers before ordering. Their tap options were full of varieties! Our daughter had the salmon quinoa salad (don't quote me on the name) . But I tasted it and it was delicious! They definitely redeemed my faith in that dish after a horrible experience at a different restaurant. The pizza was crunchy and yummy read more

A pleasant place for sure! Atmosphere is pleasant you can have a meal and a conversation! Big windows are attractive and give the restaurant a nice hip airy feeling Wait staff is friendly attentive extra kudos for coming back after a few minutes to check to see if the first bites are good and if anything additional is needed - such a professional touch and always a sign of well trained staff! I had the cowboy burger - delicious and flavorful w thick bacon slice and an onion ring yum! Extra steps for me today! I ordered a house salad wow perfect size and fresh ingredients. My son had the salmon salad he said it was delicious and again check mark for the fresh ingredients however the amount of salmon ( 2 ounces?) did not match the price and my grandson had the chicken tacos w a big thumbs up! Good selection of beers as well All and all a fun visit and we did play cards ( kings corner) but I did not win! read more

It was our first time in Minnesota and we were looking for place to try the infamous juicy Lucy burgers. We decided to try a few things that sounded delicious and they did not disappoint! The service was everything you'd hope for- friendly, helpful, and didn't miss a beat refilling drinks. The Bourbon Molasses wings were so good with the slightest hint of spice that my husband ate 4/5 and would have licked the sauce off the plate if he thought no one was looking! The chicken was juicy and tender! The Dill Pickle Cheese Curds were amazing!! Not overpowering and fried perfectly! Pickle lovers will fall in love! The Cheesesteak Lucy was made with the most tender prime rib that absolutely melted in your mouth with every bite! We would eat this every week if we were locals! The St. Paddy's Day special Lucy was made with corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut- OMG was it delicious! The thousand island dressing was the kicker!!! Wow! Anytime we go to Minnesota this place will be at the top of our list! read more

Lobster melt was amazing, I have had it 3 times and it gets better each time. Service is very good.

Food was amazing, the beautiful lady was so so sweet. I felt bad because I kept ordering, and she remembered it all.

Good food and friendly service. Also a great place to watch your favourite sports team.

I have to edit my review, it seems this place has decided to add a service fee. This is a lazy way to manage your costs. This is a foolish thing to do and I'll continue to avoid these places who hide the cost of a meal by tacking on at the end. The Faribault franchise has new owners and I saw some nice improvements. The staff is friendly and attentive. The price is good with nice specials! Most of the food is good however, I tried the fish fry and I know I was not the only one who thought it was over cooked and chewy. My biggest gripe are the bar fries which are sub par and occasionally served cold. Stressing again how MOST of the food is really good. 3.8 read more

Went to Crooked Pint on Saturday; we were lucky to get a 5:00 reservation, as it was a busy night all around town. We are somewhat regulars, so knew what to expect. We had friends with us from out of town, as well....to celebrate our son's birthday. Unfortunately, the service was really slow. It took about 45 minutes for our order to come out... with no acknowledgment, apology, or offers to refill our drinks. My son ordered his usual wings for an appetizer, and they actually came AFTER his entree. Being autistic, this really sent him into super high anxiety....which I'm certain was felt by everyone around us. Pretty disappointing for his birthday dinner. I don't think we will return for a while. read more

Service was excellent and professional. The food was chain sports bar. Nothing wrong with it. Specialty is burgers with cheese in the middle-very messy to eat. Wait staff informed us so we were prepared and truly we ate them with silverware. I save my five stars for standout places. This place does a great job of being exactly what it strives to be, a sports bar chain-type restaurant. read more

Food was very good, we tried a few different Juicy Lucy's and an order of barbacoa tacos. Service was great as well. Highly recommend if you are in town. Also appreciated the staff putting us in an area where a table of eight could each hear one another. read more

I am speechless and beyond grateful to the staff at Crooked Pint. I have an autoimmune disease and VERY rarely go out to eat because of it. We left another local restaurant discouraged because they refused to accommodate a very simple request and we landed at Crooked Pint. There was very little in the menu that could be tweaked to fit my needs and I literally cried out of pure embarrassment and frustration and I was just plain hungry. Our server, Olivia, and the kitchen staff worked together to find something they could prepare that would be compliant with the way I ate and boy did they! It was absolutely amazing! It was a great (rare) date night with my boyfriend! read more

This was my first visit and I was impressed. The interior is attractive and roomy. I'd describe it as a mix of slightly up-scale sports bar and conventional restaurant. The menu has a decent variety of pub food. The wide range of beer, wine, and brown liquor options were daunting, so I just went with something off their cocktail list. I ordered a pepper jack Juicy Lucy with their jumbo tater tots on the side and a Moscow Mule. Unfortunately my Lucy wasn't very juicy. The interior pocket seemed to be almost empty and I only tasted a hint of pepper jack. It wasn't dry and it still had good flavor but it wasn't quite what I expected. It was probably just a mistake because the person I was dining with had a different Lucy and his was fine. The jumbo tater tots were a very pleasant surprise. They had the perfect amount of crispiness and the interior was almost creamy with subtle hints of sour cream and chives. I think there were only six of them but that seemed like the right amount because of their large size. My Moscow Mule was well made. The service was very good. The prices were fair. I will definitely return! read more

Recommended by our Airbnb host and I can see why! Alana was our server and she was super friendly! My husband and I both had the Beer Cheese Juicy Lucy which was delicious and HUGE!! This is "Stuffed with our creamy beer cheese sauce, featuring Grain Belt Premium, and served on a pretzel bun. Topped with bacon, bistro sauce, haystack onions, and a slice of habanero jack." He subbed the cheese curds instead of fries both fries and curds were great! Lots of beers on tap to choose from. To finish off our meal with and the Chocolate Chip Lucy which is their "A large chocolate-chunk cookie stuffed with cream cheese and topped with vanilla ice cream - then topped off with chocolate and caramel sauces and whipped cream." If you're in Faribault I definitely recommend this place! read more

Dined outside. Can't ding the restaurant for the obnoxious table beside us going on and on about the drinks and bartenders as if they were old pals, especially interesting as the wait staff indicated the bartenders experienced shift change during our visit. Haha Great food. Wonderful service. Not the most comfortable chairs or tables and it was incredibly noisy along the road, but hey. We chose to eat out there. I ordered a seasonal salad which was tasty and my fiancé had a burger after an appetizer of wings. read more

The food was great. Plan on bringing a friend to share your dish with however. The portions are huge.

The service was first class. We each had the classic lucy and it was really good. The general appearance was very good. I would not hesitate to return to this restaurant. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, awesome wait staff! Great spot to get dinner. I had the chicken tacos they were so filling!

I had an amazing first visit here. The restaurant is spacious with large screen TVs mounted in ideal viewing spots. The best part of the open feel and modern wood interior is that it doesn't have the look and feel of a typical sports bar. This restaurant is so much more than that with really solid food choices and a fantastic beer list that focuses on local offerings. A daily late happy hour and extended hours open till midnight are welcomed surprises outside of the metro. A quick tip is that Wednesday's are burger specials with $2 off your burger. They have an extensive list of "juicy Lucy" burgers and my wild rice burger was like a taste of heaven. I have to give a round of applause to my server, Kim! We were promptly greeted with friendly service and perfect recommendations. She was very outgoing and made us feel right at home with her smile and service. read more

Terrible food. Juicy Lucy burger came without interior cheese. Fries were over salted and inedible. Took 2 requests to get condiments brought to the table. Waitress was embarrassed but did nothing to remedy complaints. Very disappointing experience dining out. read more

Great food and drinks! I love tge garlic fries! Don't ever take them off the menu! It's a lively vibe, too!

The food was really good. The service was great. It had a nice atmosphere to it. Can do pull tabs.

Sara is a great server! Ask for her! Had the oatmeal stout, delicious with the Rueben. Youngest had the Peanut butter bacon Lucy. Ate the whole plate, wife had the Cuban, great service, great food! Enjoy, you should not be disappointed! read more

Service was not the best could have been better :/ Hours of operation unclear, hours May need to be updated.

During the pandemic this has been my place to stop in Faribault since it's difficult to find full-service dine-in at lunch time with both drinks and food. The personal margarita pizza just the right amount. Their Lucy, however, was more of a slider than a full-sized burger. Tap beers excellent! read more

Easy to get seated on Black Friday. Friendly people. Great food. The award winning tator tot hotdish was totally worth it. The Sweet Heat Lucy was done just right. The parmesan cheese fries were delish. Great beer. Great food. We will be back. read more

This was our first time to the restaurant and it will unfortunately be our last. Simply put- the food was not good. The French Dip sandwich that was listed on the menu as thinly sliced prime rib came out as a thick slab of meat on a dry hoggie bun that dwarfed the meat. The chicken wings cost $14.99 for 6 very small wings that were marginal at best. Our server was attentive and very nice which was the only highlight of the evening. Save your money and visit another Fairbault restaurant that serves high quality food. read more

We have been several times and the burgers are the reason we come back. Though they REALLY nickel and dime you. 75 cents for 3 pickle chips on your burger? 75 cents for a single slice of tomato? 75 cents for shredded lettuce? 75 cents for 3 slices of onion? My "basic" burger is now at $15. I hope they don't start charging for ketchup... read more

Crooked Pint Ale House is a great restaurant for Faribault. The food is affordable and great. I recommend the bourbon molasses wings, totchos, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and really any Lucy burger. On the weekend they have a brunch that is just as great. I highly recommend the sunrise tacos! Oh and don't forget their pitcher deals on football days! read more

Nice location but the food was not good. I got the jalapeño Lucy and my burger was cold, the cheese wasn't melted and my fries were soggy. My nephew got the fish tacos and the cod was very fishy. read more

Our juicy Lucy's and fries were delicious--great examples of one of Minnesota's iconic dishes. We'll be back when we're in the area.

I've been here twice and two of the best bowls of soup that I have had in a long time. Today I had a bowl of clam chowder that was chocked full of clams and they were not the chopped clams that come in a can. They were big chunks of nice chewy clams. Excellent!! read more

Crooked Pint Ale House is a welcome addition to Faribault dinning scene. The Lucy burgers are not unique but tasty. Apparently there are a total of 11 Crooked Pint restaurants in Minnesota. The corporate experience shows in the well trained staff that quickly attends to your table and food order. I only wish the menu was a bit more original and exclusive to the brand. My burger was good and the beer selection was good plus served cold as expected. I was impressed with the daiquiri my daughter ordered as it appeared to be made with fresh strawberries. I'm glad this restaurant decided to come to Faribault. They are a good fit for the community. read more

Great addition to the Faribault food scene. We were in town visiting friends and relatives just before Christmas and were recommended by my girlfriend's sister. We were so impressed on our first visit we came back the next day to try more. I had the 'standard' Jucy Lucy on our first visit (the daily special), and the BBQ bourbon chicken flatbread on day #2; both were very good. My girlfriend was equally impressed by her choices (open faced turkey, and poutine, both with decadent gravies). Looking forward to our next trip back for more of the menu (perhaps their version of Tater Tot Hotdish)! read more
