There's a reason that many people call this the best meat raffle in Minnesota. I love a good meat raffle, even though I'm a vegetarian. It's fun to play and I just give the prizes to one of my friends. The Jenkins VFW meat raffle truly is one of the best out there. For starters, all the meat comes from the butcher in Emily, Minnesota, which I have been assured is the best out there. I don't know. I don't eat meat. This meat raffle has a very precise set of rules. You have to buy the tickets at the right time. You have to line up in the order the numbers are called. And above all else, you are not allowed to touch the meat. I repeat, do not touch the meat. They will wrap it up in a bag for you after you claim it and when you bring it back to your table then you can touch it if you still choose. One of the really cool things about this meat raffle is that they do it in multiple rounds. The first couple rounds are packs of meat worth seven dollars. The next is $10. And then it escalates to $15. Regardless of the value of the meat, each ticket is still only one dollar. It's a ton of fun. The the bar is spacious. They have both live and video pool tabs to play in between rounds of the meat raffle. This is just such an awesome place to hang out. The weight staff is excellent and super friendly. They have a decent selection of beverages and make a good bloody Mary. The kitchen is open at four and there's often community events going on. This is an excellent VFW and I encourage you to visit. read more

Jenkins VFW - Bars Near Me - Jenkins, Minnesota

I'm giving this a 5 star because it's about the best version of a VFW/American Legion in the area. First off, I love their meat raffle that is very generous AND has high quality meat. Second off, their Wing night on Tuesday is great. The wings are cheap, crispy and very tasty. Beyond that they have friendly staff, stiff drink and decent things like burgers. You should to here. It's far from gourmet but still amazing. read more

FUN, FUN, FUN! Good Service, affordable prices on food & drink. Meat Raffles are #1 in the Area.

Love this one! Mary in the kitchen does a fantastic job and there's even a Window you can catch the sunset from at the bar.

If you want to walk in the door, be friendly and smiling to the person there, and have her scowl and be rude to you, this is the place to go. Other than that, the place just screams 'You are outsiders, and we will treat you like garbage because you aren't my neighbor.' Doesn't matter if you are a veteran. If you aren't FROM here, you'll be treated like trash. read more

Shocked. SHOCKED that no one has commented on this watering hole! It's T-H-E place to go for the B-E-S-T deep fried chicken wings. Bring your appetite AND your patience. Wings are available on Tuesday eve from5 until 8. Summer Tuesdays are NUTS!!! Other seasons, not as bad. Well worth the wait. read more

Jenkins VFW - Chicken Wings - Bars Near Me - Jenkins, Minnesota

These chicken wings are GREAT and the drinks are cheap compared to the big city. The line gets pretty long so don't plan on this being quick. The fries and onion rings are really good too. And of course the people are really nice but what else would you expect "up North"? read more
