We stopped by the Shafer Bar and Grill for a quick bite to eat. Turns out, it was not a quick bite…read moresince we waited over an hour for our food (which was a few tacos and a burger). It did look to be pretty understaffed and the server was friendly, but she never checked in on us after we ordered and there was no transparency about the delay. When we did get our food, it was pretty good but there was no apology or anything about the wait. It was also a very small place with only a few customers in it so I was a little confused about the whole situation. It was disappointing, but maybe it was just a one-off experience. May try again!

We ate here for the first time on a Friday night. While the bar and restaurant were clean, and the…read morefood was very good, the service absolutely sucked. I don't know who if anyone was managing but whomever it was wasn't doing their job. We joined our friends for dinner there. We sat down, and no kidding, after 15 minutes of not even acknowledging our presence we had to ASK to put in a drink order!! I mean the place wasn't busy at all, and there's no way they didn't see us. It took another 10 minutes for them to take our food order, and then after 30 minutes, and watching others who came in after us getting their food, we asked about ours...they forgot to put our food order in and blamed it on the printer in the kitchen. If it was the printer then why did others get their food?!? So they lied on top of it. Then the four people who ordered burgers got their meals, but they forgot me because I ordered a bacon chicken ranch wrap. When they brought my wrap after I had to ask for it, there was NO CHICKEN in the wrap! I was so hungry I ate it anyway. But really?!? Where was the manager? More importantly where was the owner?!? Neither one gave a damn about us! We won't be back. Even if the food is good, and the place is clean, awful service ruins the entire experience. BTW - we tipped our server well anyway...

Small town dive bar that will attract us city-folk back to the area! lol…read more The food was great, and the prices are really reasonable. The burrito bowl came in a literal serving bowl it was so huge (also VERY spicy), the fries are those great battered seasoned fries, onion rings were excellent, my dad loved the inferno burger. And mini donuts were a fun treat! Reminded us of the state fair. They have awesome daily deals from $1 burgers to BOGO wings. Pull tabs, friendly service, and without giving too much away, I'll just say they are very supportive / protective of women's safety which is extremely appreciated in a bar setting :) I look forward to coming back here on my trips through town!

As we approached Smitty's Bar & Grill in Chisago City, MN to grab some lunch on Saturday, two…read moremiddle aged males (one much larger than me) were standing by the doorway smoking. The two started yelling and threatened both my wife and I. They threatened that if we went in Smitty's they would come in and kick our butts (not the language they used). As we walked through the door one of them said look out for the owner, he'll kick your butts too (not the language that was used), he doesn't want you in there either. FYI - There was a protest going on a coupe blocks away on Hwy 8, I'm pretty sure they thought we were part of it. The men followed us into Smitty's and we immediately told the woman behind the bar what was happening. The bartender/woman showed us no concern when they followed us in. The two men stayed in the immediate area where we were as we spoke to the bartender. By the bartender/woman's response, my guess is the two men both are regular customers. My wife asked her to call the police, she refused to call and told us we should call the police if we felt threatened. We decided to not have lunch as we really felt safe and the management apparently allows this type of goonish behavior in their establishment. As we left, the large man followed us on to the sidewalk and started verbally abusing and threatening us again as we quickly walked to our vehicle. Smitty's in Chisago City, MN is not a place to patronize if you are looking for a non-threatening place to have a burger and a beer. We left without trying the food because of the bullying by the two customers and employee/management. The bartender's response or lack there of, made it clear we were not welcome in Smitty's Bar & Grill and only made us feel less safe. We do not recommend Smitty's Bar & Grill. Our experience was frightening when approaching Smitty's, while in Smitty's and when we left Smitty's Bar & Grill in Chisago City, MN. If we could give zero stars, we would. FYI - I'm in my seventies
