Saw a post about their special on the local Facebook group, so my husband and I decided to try it…read moreout. I have not been to Cokato in the eight years that I have lived in Minnesota, so I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant space is called upstairs, and the bar is downstairs. It was quiet and the ambiance was great. I did not catch her name, but the lady working there was incredible. She was the only one helping the customers, but she did it all with grace. Shout out to her! For the food, we got their special which was the flame grilled steak and grilled walleye. They were delicious. I did not expect the portion to be that big considering it was $23 for the two meals. We also got their Mac Bites appetizer. Those were good as well. I started following them on Facebook after this meal. I hope to catch more special deals here! Tip: It looks like the deals start at 5PM. If you are in a hurry, come as close to 5PM as possible. The upstairs fill fast!

There on a Saturday night. There's a large sign out front / upstairs that says the dining room is…read moreopen, it's not. Looks like they don't use that space anymore. We went to the bar instead. Menu is basically burgers and sandwiches. Food was not bad but not good either. Nothing special. Waitress was nice but was alone, which made things slow. Outdoor seating is for smokers so we chose to eat inside on a beautiful evening. Bottom line, it's a bar, not a restaurant. If you want a place that's kind of dive bar like, then this would be a good place. If you're looking for a nice meal I wouldn't recommend it.

It is decorated in old signs and farm items and really does feel like you are visiting grandma's house. Quality breads and deserts top off the experience. If you are there during lunch, you are treated to an all you can eat buffet that you will actually WANT to go back for seconds to. The patrons seem to mostly be neighbors. We feel like we stumbled into a truly hidden gem! There is nothing fancy in this place. Even the bathroom seems a little rugged but is clean. Go hungry - leave satisfied!

It's really small inside there's only one small room with tables but they have outdoor seating too. It's right next to the pickleball courts so we stopped by for dinner after playing.

Although the stay within familiar territory, they put their own spin on things that take them to the next level, such as their cream-cheese duck wontons.

They're knowledgeable of their beers (which is an impressive selection for the area) and are always happy to share their knowledge of the area. This spot is definitely a stop when I'm in the area.

It gives off the vibe of a sports bar but also a place to sit and have a casual meal. The fried pickles came out hot and crispy and they were wonderful! Even after sitting and munching on them after 5 minutes the ones that were still in the basket were still warm. The PB+J burger was amazing! It has a nice little kick with every bite you took. It had the perfect amount of spicy that wasn't too overwhelming. The BBQ wings were also very good! Cooked to perfection and had the perfect amount of sauce on them. The cheese balls were really good but had too much cheese in each bite you took. The cheese balls were also much larger than what we were thinking they were going to be. Roughly the size of a golf ball. The service was splendid. There was one waiter and bartender working while we ate but you wouldn't have guessed that by how fast our drinks and food came out. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us, while waiting on every other table in the building. If you are passing through town this is definitely a place to try out!
