The atmosphere was pretty relaxed and there's a few larger tables and smaller tables as well as some booth and countertops seating. I can't recommend them enough! This is definitely one not to miss, if you're in the area or if you're in town. I heard some of the locals say they have the best potatoes in town after having the hashbrowns I absolutely believe it. They also offer American fries or something similar. Not very often at the cook comes out to make sure that the food is good to which they did it and I really enjoyed.

We've stopped many times at the Trails but this was our first stop to eat at Skol Tavern…read more Our server was friendly and our food came pretty promptly. They do offer breakfast and carry beer. We had omelets and they were well done. The hashbrowns could have been browned longer but I do like mine extra crispy. You definitely get some of the Viking atmosphere with the dark wood, high ceilings, and huge fireplace. We didn't try Ragnor's Grill tho, Food was reasonably priced. It's a solid stop when traveling between Minneapolis and Des Moines.

My review is based on 3 separate visits to & from Minnesota. My wife & I are both Scandinavian so of course we loved the Viking/Nordic theme with tall ceilings & a large Fireplace. We have ordered the Skol classic Breakfast/ Brisket Melt w Mac & Cheese & multiple times the Breakfast Tot - Chos ( Heaping plate of tots covered w Gravy, Cheese & Eggs ) Everything has always been very good & served quite quickly. My only complaint is that you have to go get your own refreshments & when done eating you have to go stand in line at the cash register to pay your bill. But other than that we very much enjoyed all 3 visits to the Skol Tavern & we will absolutely return again.

I had the ham and turkey chef salad. It was served in a tortilla shell with lettuce, tomato, peppers, pineapple, cheddar cheese, and taco chips with a sweet and sour dressing. It also came with garlic bread that was pleasant but not needed. This type of salad being in a tortilla shell was a little odd, but not bad. It was a little stale as well, but nothing concerning. The overall salad was well put together and everything else seemed fresh with plenty of the toppings. The pineapple was also an interesting choice, but I did not mind it. Will I go back? Yeah, why not.

They know their regulars orders, all the staff come and chat with you, it's amazing. Very welcoming. I was in Grand Meadow visiting a friends family for the weekend. We were invited to have breakfast at the Diner. I had been craving pancakes, so I ordered a short stack and a side of hash browns. They did not disappoint! The pancakes were fluffy and good! A few people at my table ordered a Belgium waffle which looked really good. They were huge and topped with strawberries and whipped cream. Prices are very reasonable. I feel like everyone there was a local and knew each other (which is normal for small towns, I guess). Overall I loved my experience here. Great staff, patrons and food. I'm sure I'll be back!

Well, I went for the first time a couple of days ago with my mother and we were disappointed. The booths are very small and tight. I ordered the "hot beef special" $9.99 ... one ice cream scoop of instant potatoes and two generic slices of white bread. No fries or vegetables to go with it. That would be an additional charge. If you are looking to "fill up", I recommend going somewhere else.
