    When you walk in you are greeted with the warmth of a fireplace, and a warm smile from the hostess. My husband started out with their beer cheese soup. It is the perfect appetizer. The popcorn that is sprinkled on top is fresh and not too chewy. He ordered steak fajitas as his main entree and I ordered wings with their campfire dry rub. They were delicious! The Service here is great!

    Boom boom shrimp Delectabowl

    Another stellar experience at D. Michael B's. I met friends here for lunch on a Saturday. I really enjoyed the Delecta-Bowl with shrimp, boom boom sauce, rice, Asian slaw, carrots, tortilla strips, and jalapeños. It's spicy and delicious. My friend mentioned that the food here is on a higher level than typical bar and grill food, with good quality and plenty of options. The service was great; nice and friendly and attentive. The music was loud, but they actually turned it down a few decibels because we asked if they would. (They said another table asked the same thing.) Overall a pleasant lunch experience.

    We went with a group after a nice bike ride. The beer was good. I had a Rajun Cajun burger with a side of chicken wild rice soup. It was quite tasty. My dining partner had the Crasinberry salad which she thought was pretty good but not really great. Our server, Bree, was a rock star for handling 18 people accurately and quickly. She was very good.

    Fall Off the Bone BBQ Ribs

    The service was outstanding considering the noon rush. I had the fall of the bone ribs. They lived up to their name and had a very smoky flavor that I really enjoyed, however, I thought they were too dry and I probably should have asked for extra bourbon sauce. My wife thought her coconut chicken salad was great but then again she isn't the fussy guy I am that is out to change the world into eating "My Way".

    I've only been to this restaurant one time and that was specifically to have their Signature Bloody Mary. I stopped in on a Sunday around 11:00am. The restaurant was pretty quiet with only a few tables sat and a few older gentleman at the bar. I say belly up and was immediately greeted with a menu and a request for my drink order. I knew what I wanted so I ordered immediately. Even with all the fixings on the drink it only took about 5 minutes before I got it which I find to be more than responsible. The drink was damn good. The house made mix had a nice body to it and all the fixings were hot/fresh. Bartender was friendly and struck up a conversation as well as the patrons at the bar making the time enjoyable. The restaurant itself is kind of tacky but kind of fun with its up north cabin vibe. I will absolutely be returning to try some of their menu items.

    This place was lit up like a Christmas tree in the middle of nowhere. The lights called us over to D.Michael B's Resort Bar and Grill We were so hungry after a day of shopping at the outlet mall Albertville Mn.We wandered in around 7 pm and was greeted with a little bit of a wait but warm smiles.The smells coming from the restaurant were enticing.We sat down within 15 minutes and greeted by our waitress Anna.Anna was funny and very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the ribs and my buddy ordered the steak and shrimp stir fry.The menu said that the ribs were fall of the bone...they were.It was just not cooked the way I liked.I like my ribs grilled or smoked.These were baked with BBQ sauce thrown on top.Ribs need to be glazed and seared!The fries were not the right type with ribs.They were shoe string fries.The best thing about this plate was the cole slaw. Friendly people.I'll have to try a different dish next time.

    First time eating here, but I got take out. My husband ordered me a salad with salmon. I wanted it well done, and the glaze sauce. The salmon definitely needed the glaze. There was no seasoning on the fish. The lettuce was kind of withered, so I picked a lot of it as I was eating. My husband had hot wings, and he said they were pretty good. He also ordered a beer, as he was waiting on our food. It's other entrees that I could've ordered, but I love salmon. I will definitely trying something else.

    Pastalaya

    Great food and fantastic waitress. The hostess had major RBF but the rest of our experience was great. Two of us had the Pastalaya which was fantastic. We also had the orange chicken which had great flavor. The chicken fettuccine was also good. I like cabin feel through out the restaurant as well.

    BBQ Ribs (House Specialty)
    Cadia G.

    I don't think I've ever ordered ribs at a restaurant but something inside of me was like "today is the day" so I went for it and girrrrrrrl I'd do it again. D. Michael B's was a convenient lunch spot for my friend and I after shopping in Albertville. We didn't know what to expect but we liked the ambience as soon as we walked in. It was very "Minnesota cabin" in there. We were seated quickly and had friendly servers. I wish they were a bit more personable but that's the only area I can really fault them. Like I said, the ribs were bomb (the meat slid right off the bone) and the portion size was very generous for the price. I could've managed with a little less sauce but that's just my personal preference. I could definitely see myself returning for lunch or to catch a football game at the bar. The location is ideal and I'm curious to know if the rest of the food is as good as the ribs!

    Dining room

    Sunday dining after brunch 2 pm. Amazing service (Thanks Juri!), comfy atmosphere, no wait to be seated. Patio looked inviting the weather was pleasant. We dined inside this time. The peel and eat shrimp was much better than we expected. It was messy, peel and eat always is. Jon had beer cheese burger-fabulous! He got the beer cheese soup on the side to dip instead of as a topping. Perfect on the burger too, just messier. Shrimp lettuce wraps were also amazing. Sweet, lightly spicy with cashews to give a toasty nutty flavor. Coming back!!!

    Best way I can describe this restaurant is like a Chili's of Minnesota. There's lots on the menu but I went for the walleye sandwich, signature house side salad and chicken wild rice soup. The walleye sandwich was delicious but the lettuce was very brown. I had to send my salad back because the lettuce was so brown, soggy and wilted it definitely would've caused food poisoning. When I let the server know that the lettuce was bad she just took the plate from me and took it back to the kitchen, no apology or offer to bring out another. They didn't charge me for it but it didn't leave the best impression. The wild rice soup was pretty good but not the best I've ever had. Overall we liked the atmosphere in here, very cozy and very Minnesota.

Although it's a bit of a hike outside the city, still not too bad on a weekday and it was nice to get out and try something new! It seems like an up and coming area for Monticello and development nearby. We came right at 5 when the restaurant opens and got a seat in the high tops. NOTE! If you want to partake in the happy hour, you have to either sit at the bar or in the high top tables. We didn't know this and wanted their chicken wings on the happy hour menu so ended up switching tables. In addition to the wings, my husband ordered the corn bread app which was pretty good too! Wasn't a huge fan of the spicy butter it came with, but strange but the bread itself was good. The wings had a good seasoning and the house made ranch was really tasty! Surprised there were only wings and no drumsticks which I prefer and the wings themselves didn't have a whole ton of meat on them so I'd give it 3/5 on the apps I ordered the 12oz New York strip and at market price it was $62, came with broccolini and French fries. My husband got the turkey burger which he wasn't a huge fan of he said but he enjoyed the fries. My New York strip wasn't seasoned well - if at all to be honest but thankfully they had some leftover A1 from Mother's Day brunch where the bartender made some bloody Mary's so that helped. Can't say the food was a knockout but the service was really good. The bartender who was our server was conversational, great dude, and offered great suggestions. Host and folks were also really accommodating when we hopped around the restaurant so we could participate in the HH. All in all, great experience and nice place to try!

Started with me sitting for 10 minutes before the waiter said I "snuck in on him" then took my drink order. 10 mins later he finally came and took my food order.

The interior is super fun -- bright colors, quirky alien décor everywhere, themed seating, and a playful atmosphere that makes the place feel lively right when you walk in. Even as a 35-year-old, I had a blast checking it all out. The arcade adds to the fun and makes it a great spot if you want something more interactive than a typical dinner out. It definitely feels like a place designed to be memorable rather than just another restaurant. Food-wise, it was okay -- nothing bad, just not the main highlight. The menu items we tried were fine but didn't stand out compared to the overall environment. This is definitely a spot where the aesthetic and theme are the draw, not necessarily the cuisine. One item that didn't quite land for me was the grilled cheese with the cheese "skirt." It looked impressive on the plate, but the flavor didn't live up to the visual. The cheese crisp had more of a burnt, greasy taste than that golden, toasty crunch you hope for, and it kind of overpowered the sandwich instead of adding to it. Cool idea in theory, just not my favorite execution. Overall, Space Aliens is worth visiting at least once for the atmosphere alone, especially if you enjoy themed restaurants or want somewhere fun and different from the usual dinner spots. I dont know of any other themed spots in Minnesota.

Good customer service means remaking the burger without being asked, and also giving a token (gift card, free food) to say "we're sorry, please come back"- something for the inconvenience and have us consider returning to this location. They remade the burger, and it still wasn't exactly what I ordered! This place isn't cheap, we expect employees to be able to read their tickets and get things correct the first time or make it right by the customer.
