Asked if they could turn on the outdoor heaters. "I'll ask the manager" Heat was not turned on for over an hour. They had run out of the chicken and French fries. We had to adjust our menu selections. Waiting over 50 minutes for our food. The servers were great and the food was good But management needs to improve.

It was "Bargo" night the third time we went (Bar Bingo) and it was busy and noisy! Highlight for me are the wings, really big, crispy and a generous serving size. Best I've had in a long time. Otherwise I've really enjoyed the Pot Roast Stroganoff, delicious comfort food meal and the Parmesan Chicken was also very good.

This is always a good stop for us as we travel North.

Service was a bit slower tonight but there were a lot of people who had been Christmas shopping in the area. We sat at the bar to avoid a wait. With such a crowd it was a little noisier but certainly to be expected . We will visit again and again!

Otsego really needed a local brewery and Ripple Effect knocked it out of the park!…read more Confession, I still haven't tried their beer after visiting a dozen times or more, but it's only because their flavored seltzers are always on point! Great use of space with ample seating. They always bring local entertainment, have a rotation of awesome food trucks, TVs showing local/national sports, and plenty of board games to keep you entertained. Be prepared for rotating/seasonal options, but please go check them out. They've done a wonderful job at repurposing the old Hardee's building.

There's a fair amount of inside seating. They have board games, TVs for sports, and rotating food trucks/live shows. The first time we sat inside, played Guess Who?, and watched the Gopher game. It was relatively quiet and we could easily have a conversation. The second time, there was live music, the place was full of people, and it was loud (for good reason!). We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the fall air. There was enough noise from the road to make it so we weren't invading other conversations but quiet enough to enjoy our own. We've really enjoyed the seltzers! You can choose up to two flavors with the Little Ripple. We love the Pear/Mango combination. The Won't Let Go is a higher ABV, but you can't go wrong with a piña colada flavor. We're waiting for them to offer Growlers/Crowlers for the seltzers!

If I get a chance, its fun to go try some of the older variants and vintages of Darkness to see how they old up. It helps as well that Short or Tall does flights! I enjoyed five different pours of Darkness: Gimme S'More Darkness (2021): An Imperial Stout, Darkness, aged on Vanilla and Cinnamon aged in Bourbon Barrels reminiscent of a liquid s'more. Darkness (2016): An Imperial Stout aged for nearly ten years. A little thin bodied, which occurs over time, and a ton of sherry notes. Darkness (2025) Barrel-Aged: An Imperial Stout aged in Elijah Craig Bourbon Barrels and Creative Oak French Oak. The OG version of this year's BA Darkness. Chocolate Limoncello Darkness (2024): An Imperial Stout with Cacao and Lemon Puree hitting French Oak for a while as well. This is a weird one for sure. Vietnamese Coffee Darkness (2020): An Imperial Stout, Darkness, infused with Organic Robusta and Arabica Coffees from UP Coffee Roasters (local to MN), Vanilla Beans, and Coconut. It was aged in Rum Barrels. This one is an absolute delight and my first time trying it! My favorite of the flight. _____

I would have forgotten about it! Also the water has its own spout instead of connected to one of the drinks, so it comes out just as water! I love the shoe string fries and the spicy chicken sandwich hits it just right for me. I also decided to get a little custard with a brownie and it was also very good. Sadly this place is a good 30 minutes away from me so I can't go more often, but it can be a once in a long while treat.
