    This place is great. Decent crowd and the food still came fast and hot. They do a great job to make sure your food doesn't die in the window with multiple runners. Never once say any of the staff just standing around from the hostess to the waitress. Food is very diverse so you can literally have a heavy robust burger to a light and refreshing salad. Really good. They beer batter three cheese curds to be super light batter and very good cheese. Best I have ever had.

    Great restaurant with a nice bar - filled with a variety of beer selections and cocktails - a patio for outdoor seating right by the marina and delicious appetizers and food! The service was prompt and our server was very friendly and attentive to our needs. For appetizers , we had the spinach artichoke dip, the chicken wings and the steak bites. The chicken wings were one of the best we've had - crunchy and tender! The owner came out and chatted with us - super nice man. Overall, we had a great experience - definitely a place I highly recommend!

    I've been here a few times and the food is always on point! I recently got the Smoked Tri-Tip Sandwich. The sandwich had great flavor. The side of chips were seasoned perfectly and paired well with the side of beans. My dad got the Smoked Polish Sausage Sandwich, German style, and loved it! All of the food coming out of the kitchen looked great. They have so many beers on tap, lots from MN breweries which is awesome! I opted for the Bloody Mary and it was delicious! The restaurant has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking isn't bad- there is street parking out front and an additional lot across the street. The one downside is the that the last few times I've come service has been slow ... great but slow. You can tell the staff works hard but could function better with an additional staff member or two. I recommend Kelly's and will definitely be back!

    We were really excited to try Kelly's Taphouse's Dole Whip Margarita special after seeing it advertised. Last weekend we arrived around 9:30 p.m. and were told the machines had already been shut off, even though the bar serves drinks until 1:00 a.m. We were disappointed but ordered something else instead. We decided to give it another shot and even called ahead to make sure the Dole Whip Margaritas were still being served. We were told they wouldn't be shutting the machines off until 11:00 p.m. When we arrived around 10:15 p.m., we were once again told the machines had already been shut off. After explaining that we had called ahead and were told they would still be available, they did turn the machines back on, which we appreciated. However, there were only two flavor choices left, and instead of receiving the full-sized margarita that was advertised, we were served small plastic cups. The margaritas we did receive tasted good, but the inconsistency and lack of communication made the experience frustrating. If you're advertising a special until late in the evening, it should either be available as advertised or customers should be informed ahead of time if it's no longer being served. Hopefully this is something they can improve because the product itself has potential.

    Our group was in town for a wedding that weekend and came here on a Sunday at 11 AM hoping for brunch (based on their website). Upon arriving, they said that they no longer served brunch. I personally was going to go with a burger no matter what, so wasn't terribly disappointed, but I know a few people from my group were sad. The vibe of the dining room was fairly chill, they had TV's playing various football games and it was spacious and clean inside. It did take more than 30 minutes for the food to come out after ordering which seemed pretty long especially since it wasn't terribly busy. Once the food came out, it did taste good so can't complain about that. If I was in a rush, I don't think it would have been a positive experience but if you're willing to kill some time this could be a great spot for you!

    Half a broasted chicken

    Waited a long time before anyone acknowledge that we were there. Sat at the bar because the restaurant was full. Took forever for a bartender to take our order. But once we got our drinks she took our food order immediately. I recommend the broasted chicken to my friend who was visiting. I have had it several times and it is amazing. I ordered the mac and cheese with brisket. Unfortunately it came out barely warm so I sent it back for a warm up. It was delicious. But once again the bartender didn't come around so we didn't get to order another drink.

    Cheese curds!

    Delicious, crispy and gooey cheese curds! Fun atmosphere and great service! Will be back again!

    nuts & berries salad

    We visited for a weekday lunch. The weather was lovely so we sat out on the patio, which was great, though the occasional train comes by at full speed, horn blaring, and can make talk difficult for a few minutes. We ordered drinks and a cheese curds appetizer; the curds were still MIA when our main meals came out, but our server realized this and promptly brought them out with apologies. I have to say, the cheese curds were amazing--the beer batter gives the coating a nice light crispness. I ordered the nuts and berries salad. The toppings were nice and generous, but that also included a lot of finely-chopped celery, which I am not fond of, so I wouldn't get this salad again; it was otherwise good, though, and by no means discourages me from returning. The breadstick that came with the salad was awesome and had a core of molten cheese, which makes everything better. My husband had a burger, which he really liked. Our companion had a salad that she seemed to enjoy, too. Overall, a really great restaurant, and one I hope to visit again!

I consider myself a "obsessed foodie " so I was pleased when Cory the chef came out of the kitchen and walked around the dining room. We were having a cocktail at the bar so we waved him over to ask what he recommended . I took his advice and ordered the scallops. They were cooked perfectly. Very tender and paired really well with the roasted corn and bacon. The whipped feta was very cold, which was interesting, but the flavor was tangy so it offset the richness of the bacon and scallops. The beef tenderloin was delicious cooked perfect medium rare. The broccolini was a little tough and the blue cheese sauce could have been a little thicker. It was kind of runny. I will be back to try more items on the menu.

The Char was great but the navy bean veggies underneath were so salty they were not edible. Hopefully these are things that can be improved. Probably won't return for the food.

    My husband wanted fish fry on the last Friday of the official Lenten season. We decided to try out…read morethe Bierstube for the first time, and I'm glad we did! The parking lot is pretty spacious, so no battling for a spot like you might need to in downtown. The bowling alley is in a separate part of the building; we couldn't see hear any sounds from there in the restaurant. We seated ourselves, as a sign advised, and were quickly brought menus. Service remained pretty good throughout our visit. We both had drinks. My husband enjoyed the Bierstube Red, while I had a bottle of Angry Orchard cider. Our cheese curd appetizer was delicious, the curds hot and squeaky with a nice layer of breading. For my main dish, I had the grilled cheese on pumpernickel along with the standard seasoned potato chips. Everything was really good--the sandwich had a great amount of cheese with a good, stringy pull. My husband LOVED the all you can eat fish fry. He declared it to be his favorite out of the local restaurants we've tried. His fries were great, too. After finishing off the main plate, he could request more fish from our server, and she'd bring out a piece at a time on a saucer. I was in an indulgent mood, so we had dessert, too--the apple strudel. It was really good, the strudel piping-hot all the way through, served alongside a big scoop of ice cream. A caramel drizzle added the perfect final touch. We'll definitely be back here, and probably on Fridays!

A $3 upcharge for fries is steep, but they give you a lot of them; I would order them well done/extra crispy. They just recently had to condense their menu. Still more options than an average corner bar, but most of their german food is no longer available. You will not be disappointed by their drink specials.
