I highly suggest the ham and cheese balls with moonshine sauce as an appetizer. The fish sandwich is very well proportioned and filling! I really haven't had one bad item, ever! The burgers are fantastic and the Castle Cream Ale is very cold in washing down the last bite. The beef is from the local meat market so if you need some good cuts of meat for the lake house/campsite/etc. be sure to stop by Thielen's Meats one block north! The wraps kick butt! Spend a day on the lake, then head to Bootlegger's for a great meal and a cold brew. Don't forget to buy a t-shirt! They are great conversation starters when you leave the wilds of Minnesota and return to the grind of the real world!

They cook their burgers over a flame grill! The walleye sandwich was enormous- easily shareable and delicious. Fun activities for game - free shots with Viking scores, free raffle prizes and can buy numbers for cash payouts at end of quarters. They have pulltabs and etabs. Huge parking lot off 65 and saw many snowmobilers. They're open in the winter now with the exception of Monday. Can't wait to come back for prime rib special on Saturdays

I always like going to Pine Brook but the last time I was there I go they really need to have a…read moremakeover. It seemed dark and old. My daughter ordered a steak and it was quite hard for her to chew. I tasted it and it was tough. I ordered ribs and they did fall apart, but it was the type of ribs where the sauce was put on after it was cooked, so it was not into the meat while cooking. Also, there was a lot of gristle on the meat. I had more waste than I had meat. I am going to try a steak one more time and then I might have to change restaurants if that happens again. Many other other things are really good so maybe I should just stay away from the steak. Keep up making things yourself and not buying them frozen in a bag. I have been in Food Service and I know when that is happening and that really upsets me I stay away from those type of restaurants so don't lean too far. That way I'll be back.

Hidden gem in downtown North Branch. Don't let the outside fool you (looks like old supermarket)…read morethis place is great! Soups and salad dressings homemade, excellent wings and burgers, and tried the appetizer mushrooms which were out of this world (not all breaded like other places, just lightly crisped and seasoned).

My wife ordered the Flaming Viking - bacon, pepper jack cheese, sautéed jalapeno peppers & homemade sriracha mayo on a 7oz patty. It was very spicy and she loved it! I had the beer battered cod with fries. The batter was very crunchy, but a bit oily, and the cod had no flavor so I don't recommend it. We met one of the owners, Kathy, who was very friendly and an excellent server. I'd recommend giving the burgers a try!

Upon arriving, we…read moreentered the door and descended dimly lit stairs, then passed through a stone hallway to reach the entrance. The wait at the table was longer than we anticipated but luckily for us, there were some bar seats available. The bartender at the moment was Cameron. He gave us the rundown on the food and drinks and made several recommendations. We started off the evening with the Don Corlone. It was very tasty and also an Andorran Martini. Both drinks were delightful and were semi-sweet but not too sweet. The mixture of the Don Corlione had a perfect blend of citrus and sweetness. We then ordered the pastry puff poppers and they were amazing. The sauce complemented the pastry puffs and the filling left you wanting more. To finish the night we ordered tiramisu, cheesecake, and some bubbles. Thank you Cameron for the amazing service and experience we hope to be back again soon.

Went the day before valentines day. Had a reservation for 9pm. The environment was great, but…read morethey ran out of over half the food items and closed the kitchen early (like 5 minutes after we got there) didn't get to order beefed to try something. Considering we wanted earlier and we took the reservation time they gave us, it was disappointing to not get to eat. The drinks were really fun (bartender was killin' it) and dessert was included in the kitchen so not available but did manage to finagle one of the 4 options and we got the strawberry cheesecake (friends not a strawberry fan but we were hungry) because they wouldn't serve the others or they were out. Really poor planning for such a busy 'date night' weekend. I loved the speakeasy feel and will go back for that. Hopefully we'll get to eat there the next time. Experience a plus. Food a minus Staff, doing their best Bartender - was a mover and a Shaker was definitly on their A game.

I've visited Stoney's several times as I live in the area. After seeing several reviews where the…read morepeople seemed to expect some kind of family-friendly experience not being happy with their service, I think there's a missing fact here, it's a BIKER BAR. Every sign or advert tells you that it's 'Stoney's - Minnesota Premier Biker Bar'. During the week this is often a great place to get drinks or pizza. From Thursday - Saturday it's a party. This is when the real 'biker' aspect comes out. It's not like there's fights breaking out, just be ready for loud music (often live), dancing, lots of drinking, and people being a little on the direct-side. The place is owned by a man known as 'Cheeto', who doesn't put up with people acting up in his place for sure. On the other side, he's been one of the most giving people I've seen. He gladly donates time, money, services, and space for the local Fire Department, honored individuals needing assistance, and organizations like the Lyons Club. In summary, if you're looking for a family-friendly environment or are easily offended, you may not like it here. If you're looking to party, dance, drink, and have a night you will remember (maybe) THIS is the place.
