The booth we are sat in, we had four people and it was a bit small but still worked well.

It with three fish and a variety of beer battered fries. A few other items my colleagues got was the walleye sandwich which looked amazing, the brie and apple burger.. also amazing, and the Caprese sandwich. While I don't live anywhere near I hope to come back again in the future with work!

My companion and I both ordered the quesadillas appetizer as our lunches. WOW. The best quesadillas I've ever had. Delicately crispy on the outside and stuffed with all the good things inside. Not hot (aka spicy) at all, which is great for someone likes me who blows up when looking at a jalapeno sideways. Far more than I really needed to eat. The staff were all so kind and enthusiastic. (And hey, I found my keys!) Hopefully they'll get the ladies' room up and running soon, as the men's room was...yeah.

Stopped into Howard's Bar for dinner on a random Tuesday evening with a party of five, including a…read morecouple of kids. The place is split into a bar area with tables and a smaller dining area. We opted for the dining section since we had little ones with us. There was one server covering our section, which had our table and another table. While she seemed to be keeping up with orders reasonably well, her friendliness left something to be desired. As the face of the restaurant, especially in a family-friendly section, a warmer attitude would've gone a long way. Food-wise, everything we ordered was solid. I had the deluxe patty melt with fries which was tasty, well-cooked, and a generous portion. Others at the table had walleye strips, nachos, mac and cheese, and another sandwich (can't remember the name). Across the board, everyone enjoyed their meals, and the portions were definitely generous for the price. Overall, Howard's delivered on food and portion size, but the service could use a little polish to make it a more welcoming experience. Would I come back? I'd likely consider, I just hope the service is better this time.

I know, I know - I used fantastic once already. But our server was outstanding. We were having such fun chatting up our family, so this sweet woman was required to return several times. She never displayed an ounce of annoyance. Bonus points for her professionalism. My sincere apology for failing to note of her name. She was blonde, fit and wore a "Happy Birthday Carol" t-shirt. My husband and I shared a Philly Cheesesteak with onion rings for our side. Sandwich was great, rings were overly breaded and greasy. Lots of tap/bottled beers to choose from. Cold and DELICIOUS!

On a lovely Friday in November, my friend and I came here for lunch. It was about 11:30, right when…read morethey open. The restaurant was empty and clean. I ordered the poutine for lunch. I've had it here a couple times, and usually it's great. This time the flavor wasn't nearly as good as in the past. I felt like it was the gravy, but I could be wrong. The poutine was fine, but not amazing. And sadly, I probably won't recommend it to friends anymore. The service was poor. We got our food and drinks, but I don't think we saw her again after that. Kind of friendly, definitely not helpful or attentive. Will I come back? . . . . I haven't decided, but I'm leaning toward "No".

If you're looking for a place to catch a game, this is it--there are TVs everywhere, plus frequent 2-for-1 deals that make it even better. Overall, it's the ideal spot for a lively, reliable sports bar experience.

Open atmosphere with modern look, I stopped for takeout from this location in Blaine. Server who…read moretook my order was very nice. Staff moves with purpose, nobody standing around. They all appear polished and professional. I ordered the Oliver Burger, the Shrimp and Cheesy Grits, the Spinach Artichoke Dip, and a Stuffed Nutella Cookie. The server recommended I warm the cookie slightly in the microwave and enjoy it with coffee. The food today: spinach artichoke dip is served with grilled bread.... this was delicious right off the bat when the bread is still hot and slightly crispy. However, after the bread sat in the container steaming, the experience wasn't as good. I would recommend thinner pieces of bread with a bit more char on them (like grill marks) and a couple more pieces of bread. I mean, 4 pieces of bread? C'mon man! An okay appetizer dish. Was it worth $15.99? Absolutely not. Shrimp and Cheesy Grits with creamed greens: shrimp were seasoned beautifully but unfortunately were overcooked and rubbery, and the creamed greens were not cooked nearly long enough, they were fibrous and hard to chew, so I was unable to eat them at all, so a waste altogether. The stars of this dish were the charred lemon (like the bread should have been;) ) and the cheesy grits. The grits were divine and I wish there was more of it on the dish and less of the nasty greens. Seriously, switch those ratios around and it would be better. Next , the Oliver Burger: decent, cooked medium, no notes really. The waitress was right about the cookie, it was very tasty with a little warm up and my coffee .

Not sure that I would give this a high recommendation. It is seat yourself, and it took quite a while to get service. We were actually just about to get up to ask for water after being walked past several times when a server finally came over. Again, a place where the food was fine. Just for the price we paid for what we had, I would maybe make other choices. We split some sliders and garlic fries and that came to $30. For thay, we should have just gotten a regular burger and cut it in half. I'm so sad to see how much this place has changed from years gone by.

We were definitely pleasantly surprised to see that the 1/2 lb burgers were $3 every Wednesday. It was filling and cooked well. The bun was warm. Note, that with that special everything is extra, lettuce , cheese , chips , etc And the veggie burger was not part of the Special. Which by the way was not an impossible burger but a vegetable patty with mushrooms and onions in the patty for extra flavor. It was good! That came with all the fixings and the standard kettle chips side. Brian's definitely has the casual bar and hangout atmosphere. I really enjoyed it during lunch on a weekday, when it was more quiet. Condiments and silverware/napkins were already part of the table, no need to ask for extra. Good deal if you are in the area on a Wednesday!
