Quick trip to a cute college town brought me to this fun place to grab a drink! I gravitate more…read moretowards sour beers and was happy to see they had an orange pineapple one which was a delight! Plenty of other options as well if you're not into that type. Literally a wall full! Staff was friendly and the ultimate win was indoor and outdoor seating. Friday's are a bit busier so try and get their earlier if you want a good seat and parking spot. Otherwise plenty of standing areas as well. Wish I would have bought a crawler to go! Will be back! Another bonus was the food truck outside if you want a quick bite with your drink!

They have the best food in that area. Their pork and French fry's are the best. Try the fry's with…read morepork on top.

We had family visiting from Oklahoma and spent the day in Mille Lacs. We were starving on our way…read moreback to Elk River and decided to stop in at Rough-Cut. The Saturday prime rib special was one of the deciding factors. Within the first few minutes, we learned that they were completely sold out [mind you it was before 7pm]. The two biggest disappointments were service, or lack thereof, and the amount of time it took for our order to be filled. For context, after ordering, we waited over 45 minutes for our food to be served. And when it did come, it was luke warm and not served at the same time. My husband was nearly done with his meal before I received mine. While completely outside the control of Rough-Cut, we sat, very, very hungry listening to some loud mouth drunk talking about how many girls his friend "banged". Mind you....we were sitting on the restaurant side, not the bar side. Just added to an already bad experience. Rough-Cut needs more and higher quality wait staff and a smaller menu that they can actually fill. Timely and of quality. For extra context, the dining room was busy, but we did not wait to sit down and there were open tables the entire time we were there. My recommendation for those traveling along 169 ....keep going. Sorry!

If there is more than one of you, order two of them, so you don't end up stabbing each other with your forks trying to stuff them in your mouths as fast as possible. After that, it's dealer's choice. Highly recommend anything that involves the chicken or the pickled red onions, but the sausages are yummy also. Only complaint: BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL HOUSE PICKLE RECIPE

There are…read morecocktails and wine on tap for grown ups, but also mocktails on there so kids can feel like they joined in the fun! Pizza is of course a perfect pairing to beer, and you can get ice cream to do a float with root beer or a sweet imperial stout (seriously, get it, so good). Ok, so why three stars? First, OMG sugar. The pizza sauce is sweet, and then they put honey on everything. I get it, bee themed, commit to the bit, but that did not go well with beer. Second, you're serving yourself, ordering at the counter, busing your own table... but unless you alter it, it's a 20% automatic tip on everything. I'm a believer in tipping, but not when there isn't any actual service. This is a norm right now for self pour places and I hate it. Beer good Sauce sweet Service fast Don't like auto 20% on self pour

The fries were also amazing and just the way I like it. Not too crispy not too soft. This place is such a gem and if you blink while driving you'll miss it.
