Very friendly bartender. Large beer selection, each one served very cold. Food was pretty good bar food. Huge space for large groups with tons of TVs. read more

Really disappointed in this experience as a whole. I'm a Juicy Lucy foodie, born and raised blocks from both Matt's and 5-8. Crooked Pint says they're awarded for their JLs. I'm not sure how. We arrived at 619. The restaurant was nearly empty. Shocking for a Saturday night. We sat outside. There were two other tables with people. 6 total people. We ordered immediately when we were sat (we looked online and knew what we wanted). About 20 minutes later (640) the server came back and said "your food will be out any minute". Well, food came out at 705, 45 minutes after we got there and ordered. And it was wrong. I ordered the Pickle Juicy Lucy without romaine. It came out with a whole bunch of shredded romaine on it. Sauce was mixed into the romaine so I couldn't even separate it. I told the server. She acted like she hadn't seen the PILE of romaine on my burger. Lol. The cheese that's supposed to be stuffed inside had pretty much all come out. There was about 1/2 a Kraft slice worth of cheese in the burger at best. Nothing special at all. I upgraded to the cheese curd side and it tasted like what you get at Culver's. Again. Nothing special. 18.33 for a burger and fast food side was pretty disappointing. Service was really disappointing. I didn't send my burger back because it had already taken 45 minutes to get it. I wasn't going to wait another 45. Server didn't even apologize. Definitely a big disappointment. read more

Crooked Pint Ale House - Pickle Juicy that was ordered WITHOUT romaine. And had no cheese left on the inside. - Tacos Near Me - Mankato, Minnesota

Crooked Pint Ale House is in Mankato, near strip malls on the north side of town. Service was decent, and the food was just okay. I ordered the turkey and cranberry sandwich with waffle fries. The beer selection is decent, and overall the parking was very good outside. The bathrooms are shared with another business and there is a connecting kid's entertainment area attached to this restaurant. read more

Crooked Pint Ale House - Tacos Near Me - Mankato, Minnesota

We have had countless problems with service at The Crooked Pint in Mankato, MN. Today, the final straw was drawn. When we walked in at 11:22AM the restaurant was nearly empty. We were seated almost immediately. This was pleasing to us as we have had bad experiences with service in the past. But... there was worse to come. We take a seat and initially the waitress is somewhat attentive, takes our drink and appetizer orders and brings us our cheese curds in due time. Then, she takes our meal order which consisted of a burger, 2 chicken strip baskets, and a kids meal. 45 minutes pass before we see our food. We begin to "enjoy" our meal. My Juicy Lucy has absolutely no cheese inside. I however, did not make any objection because I had already waited 45 minutes for my meal, I was not going to wait 45 more for them to fix this. The chicken strips were described as "hardly luke-warm" by the people at my table who had ordered them. My mother attempted to get a refill of her water... 20 minutes passes before water is brought out. All in all, I'm quite disappointed in all aspects of this restaurant. I can assure you it's a location problem, not a chain problem. I've dined at the Fairbault location numerous times and have been impressed time and time again! read more

Food was 50/50....recommend the Mac n cheese juicy Lucy and chicken spiced nut salad that our server Allie. Margherita pizza was way too heavy pesto and no fresh tomato or balsamic to counter that taste. If you are handicapped , please note that the bathrooms are gender neutral with full walls and doors, so that's greatbifntou need a physical assistance, However, there is no power to assist for either the main entrance or bathroom doors, making it very difficult to enter the venue OR restrooms alone. Note to management... The handicapped bars need to be accessible next to the toilet. Your contractor mounted the dispensary and toilet paper holder directly under the grab bar...making it impossible to GRAB the bar to transfer independently. Our server was AMAZING.... and empathetic to our concerns!!! read more

Environment was fun! Good mix of music and the mavs we're scrimmaging on the ice next door which was cool to watch. We just got drinks and nachos, and we were honestly surprised how much we enjoyed everything. The drinks were poured good and the nachos were some of the best we've ever had! Our server was quick and attentive. Plus 10% off for military!! read more

Crooked Pint Ale House - Ale house nachos - phone did not eat first - Tacos Near Me - Mankato, Minnesota

Well, I have had a dozen or visits to this restaurant and felt, after the "grand opening" quirks had been worked out well enough that a review was necessary. Food, I have had the Juicy Lucy, boneless wings, fries, club sandwich & poutine. California Lucy - it was good, not great. The cook was nice and the cheese didn't burn off my face, I'm not sure, but it almost tastes like a frozen patty... Boneless wings- these are actually pretty good, they have a nice crisp and light texture. Easily could be a portion for two. These are also more like chicken finger, not nuggets/wings. Recommend Club sandwich - also, pretty good. This is a large portion, possibly for two. Recommend Fries - average Poutine - pass... this is a sloppily ham-handed concoction that falls well short of the finish line The service.... Ok, it feels like a 20yo is running the place, and they have a bunch of 16yo hosts & servers. It is fairly chaotic if not straight up challenging. Good luck tracking your server down. Ambiance is eclectic, with an arcade, golf simulator, darts and mini-bowling... everything you need. Bonus- there is a reduced size ice rink adjacent to the bar, if you choose to stop in and watch read more

A destination location with something for everyone. Great menu options to accommodate the pickiest of eaters. Wide variety of beer on tap, excellent bourbon selection as well. Waitstaff was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and the entertainment options. With a wide variety of entertainment for everyone including pickleball courts, kids arcade, hockey rink, duck pin bowling, golf simulators and more. This is a place to bring a large group or a small family gathering for a good time. Highly recommend making this a stop if you're in the area and looking to have some fun! read more

Had high expectations for a decent lunch before long travel. Was sadly disappointed from the moment I walked up to the door and I should have turned around and left. Some big overweight drunk guy 2 foot away from the door hot boxin a cig. With a pile of 20 butts littering the entry. Yummm. The food aspect was ok had a Chicago sandwich. A lot of locals drinking and being obnoxious. I doubt I'd spend anymore $$$ there read more

I love this place! The poutine is so good. Such a treat! The juicy Lucy burgers are spot on. Was here twice in a week and both trips were very good. read more

Very quick service and amazing food! Got seated very quickly and got our food very fast, very happy!!

Food isn't great, subpar at best. The service is so-so, been here a few times now and the sit down service is pretty slow.

Our food was good but the service definitely had some kinks to work out. I'll be back to update my review. read more

Crooked Pint Ale House - Salmon Salad Bowl - Tacos Near Me - Mankato, Minnesota

I was underwhelmed. With it being my first time there, I wasn't real surprised that it was just so-so, given the reviews that I have seen. I had fish tacos, which are a favorite when I go out. There are two other places in Mankato that I frequent & the tacos at Crooked Pint are no comparison to the taste, quality & value of the others. There adult beverage was good, not exceptional and again, value wise not impressed to compared to other establishments. The vibe wasn't for me - just not a top choice. I am glad I tried it, the service was prompt & courteous, but for a Friday they weren't busy. The first red flag. I guess I expected more, compared to other similar establishments in Mankato. Others may have had better experiences, but I won't hurry back. read more

Very cool space! We sat in the booths near the hockey rink which was a unique experience! Our server was very attentive and got us anything we needed quickly. I got the chicken tacos & they were great! Though they were a bit spicy. My dad got the Asian pork tacos and he really enjoyed them. I would absolutely recommend splitting the tacos because they are burrito size!! read more

Plenty of parking and games, indoor and outdoor dining, juicy Lucy's are amazing here. Servers were great but still getting to know the menu, pretty new at the point we visited. I liked the set up, upstairs overlooks the ice rink which i thought was pretty cool. Will visit again! read more

Hate complaining but I feel things can't get better unless the establishment knows about it. This was a large group order at my work - my flatbread over done as seen in this photo, another order of wings over done, a burger didn't come with all the fixings requested in the order and it wasn't cooked the way it was supposed to. Again this is in hopes they can improve because it is a great addition to the town but I wouldn't probably take my family here. read more

Loved the Juicy Lucy burgers and the stuffed tots (OMG)! Evening bartender was attentive and friendly. (Daytime one on next visit was stoned...but the kitchen still got our food out quickly ). Will definitely return on our next family visit "back home". read more

It's hard to leave a review when we were never served amything. We were told a 15 minute wait to get seated. Ok, fine. They said there was a backup in the kitchen. After a half hour we asked about being seated, and after the staff talked it over awhile we were finally seated. About 10 minutes we were told it would be an hour to get food. NOT THE WAY A FOOD ESTABLISHMENT should be run. I said if things were that bad a CLOSED SIGN should be on the door. The young boy at the host stand just looked at me like I was from outer space. Everyone "working" there looked to be about 17 or 18. On a Saturday night I would have expected a supervisor there to make sure things were running better. Everytime we've been here before it was great. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! read more

Unique atmosphere, spectacular service (Delayney was amazing), and fun vibe. The Bourbon Cranberry Chicken Salad, the California Lucy and the wings are top notch. As an added bonus, watching 3x3 hockey from the upper deck of the UNRL rink is incredible. read more

Waited 15 minutes, no service came to our table. Finally walked out and left!! I I guess I will drive to another crooked pint to see if they have better service since have gift card to use. read more

Amazing food and service. Service was great and food was cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend to anyone. Will come back for sure. A+ read more

The food is solid but the service was terrible. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and waited 2 hours for our meal. Other tables that arrived after my group finished before we were served. The manager offered a discount, which was generous, but still, very disappointed. I'd also recommend not eating on the second floor. Way too loud with the mini-bowling lanes. We struggled to have conversation without yelling. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch and we ordered a burger and waitress asked if we wanted fries, garlic fries, Tator tots and we said garlic fries. Got our meal and I don't think they were garlic fries. Then I requested dill pickles for my hamburger. Waitress brought sweet pickles . Had 2 beers and when we got the bill we were charged $0.75 or the pickles and $3.25 for the garlic fries. Was upset that we were not advised of the "up charge" for the garlic fries or the pickles!!! Very disappointed! Enjoyed the patio!!! read more

If you could click on zero stars I would! The Jucy Lucy's need to come off the menu! Horrible meat, not sure what was used for cheese. It all but disappeared with not even a spec of cheese residue left on or in the hamburger. read more

Every time we come I feel like it gets worse and worse... the servers are super nice but the kitchen is sooooo so slow. we have averaged about an hour- hour and a half wait for food after we gave our order to your server. The soup ordered at our table was stuff like nacho cheese and tasted powdery... definitely not "soup" consistency. When a different server than our own (idk who she was she was running drinks and random stuff to tables) brought ranch over that was forgotten, I took the ranch off the plate she was holding thinking she would just take the plate back with her... she almost tossed the empty plate to the middle of our table and walked away as the plate wobbled around in circles on the table. It was very awkward and rude. The food is mediocre compared to other crooked pints I've been to (Rochester and Minneapolis). This place overall needs a lot of work. read more

Food was average, French Fries were cold, sandwiches were average. Looking at several staff members, I didn't see any smiles. I had to ask the host if he'd smile which he did but only smiled when he walked past me. The gal with him looked disinterested. Our waitress gave a quick smile when she gave us the bill. I think the only way this place will last is because of all of the activities one can do. read more

30-40 min wait before we got our food with the restaurant half busy. I ordered a " Salisbury steak " which was basically a burger with salty gravy on it, served with very lil mash potatoes for $20 bucks is mind blowing for and meal that I was basically a tv dinner. Service was forgetful when we ask for hot sauce or ketchup. And walk away still hungry lol don't wast your time here read more

I love going here with my friends, the wings and burger are delicious! My waitress was so kind and I have had her multiple times, her name is Teagan and if u get the chance to have her as your server you're lucky! read more

Service sucks and the food takes way too long to bring out.. in the staff is so very rude all the way up to management

The server was nice and kept apologizing for the unreasonable time it took us to get our food. The food was ok, a little greasy. This is the second time I've been here and the last. The first time myself and my husband went we waited almost 2 hours to get our food. We ended up canceling our order and leaving. We decided to give it another chance but again we're very disappointed. The waitstaff is nice but the management needs to do a better job at staffing. They told us there was a party upstairs that was pushing our food order back, unacceptable. read more

I have had great food and great service but today was the opposite. Food was average. Service was horrible.

We waited for over an 1hr 20 mins for our food. When the food came it was incorrect and not even an apology. Our server checked on us once in the 1hr 40 mins we were there. Cool atmosphere, but that's all it has going at the moment. Wouldn't recommend!! read more

Our waitress Bailey was awesome! The bartender was nice and over whelmed, they need more than one bartender!! We felt the staff were very busy and there wasn't any management support on a very busy Saturday! read more

I've been to Crooked Pint about 10 times... The 1st few months after opening were primarily sketchy service and slow cook times... but over the past 5 times (in the past 6 weeks) that I've been there, the staff has improved 10-fold. Beer selection is great, the food I've tried has been very good (Philly Lucy, regular Lucy, club sammy, fish sammy, and asian tacos), with the lone exception of the chips and queso (not so good). No restaurant is perfect, I'm definitely a what have you done for me lately customer. I would have given 1 star the 1st few times here, but the way things have turned around, I would certainly recommend now at 5 stars. Keep up the great work! read more

My husband and I came here on Tuesday, September 5, 2023. It was taco Tuesday and I had the Barbacoa taco and he had the Asian pork taco. We love tacos, and these were probably the best we've ever had. The place is fairly new and very clean and the service was great. I highly recommend this place. read more

Atmosphere is great, friendly staff and food was amazing. I had California Lucy and my son had walleye tacos. Highly recommended

Had the Friday Special (hamburger and fries). Pretty small hamburger and not cooked long enough. Wait staff took it off the bill so that was good.. Just struck me as they were serving a smaller sandwich due to the special. If this would have been regular price than it really would have been ridiculous.... read more

Waited 40 minutes to get our drinks. After one hour and 15 minutes and no side salads, called for the manager and left. Incompetent staff.
