I can't wait to go back and try more of their hoagies. "Chefs kiss" to the chef I mean seriously this was good. I was in the mood for a really good sandwich and this checked every single box. Oh and I forgot about the season chips. They were really crisp and , really tasty.

Solid Irish pub grub done right…read more The fish and chips were on par with many other fine Irish pubs I've been to. Crispy, flaky, exactly what you want when you're craving that classic dish. The tartar sauce was excellent too, which makes a bigger difference than people realize. But let me tell you about the coleslaw. One of the best I've had. Seriously. It's one of those sides that you don't expect to steal the show, but this one did. The bartender was attentive and kept things moving. No waiting around, no flagging anyone down. Just good service at the bar. If you're looking for a spot to grab a proper meal and a few drinks, Blarney Stone Pub delivers. It's nothing fancy, just well done Irish food in a comfortable pub setting. And sometimes that's exactly what you need. The Verdict: Blarney Stone Pub hits the mark. Great fish and chips, excellent tartar sauce, coleslaw that punched above its weight, and attentive bartending. Four stars for a reliable pub experience.

Dempsey's is a Watertown stalwart for places to go eat and catch up with people. This place has…read morebeen around for a bit and everyone is familiar with the quality of the food and specifically their pies. During the stint back in Watertown I didn't make as many trips to Dempsey's as I normally would but the quality of the food hasn't dropped. It's always nice when you walk in you can smell pizza being baked in their oven (s). I usually land on their Dempsey's Classic that has Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Green peppers, Black Olives, Baby Bella Mushrooms. I usually ask for them to add another 3 mins of cook time for the extra crispy and ensure the middle of the pizza is fully cooked. They have a variety of other unique pizza's to taste but I usually go with their Classic. They also have a variety of their own in-house brews that's always changing along with their standard taps. If anyone is ever visiting Watertown definitely add Dempsey's as a go to place to try out.

He said it was good (he ate all of it). He also got the Parmesan wings which he wasn't that impressed with, but ate them. They were fried with shredded Parm sprinkled on top, but he was expecting a sauce. I had the 2 Walleye filets (amazingly fresh and I only found 2 bones). I got them blackened and they were so good! I got a salad and wild rice for the sides. The rice was perfectly cooked and there was a delicious roll with it. The service was terrific. We got our food on time, and the waitress kept our drinks filled. The restaurant itself was beautifully situated on Mina Lake. We had a good view of the lake. The restaurant was clean and has tables and booths. The bathroom was also very clean. They would've gotten 5 stars but the wings cost them a star. We'll be back! Great place.

Large menu and a seriously impressive beer list on tap definitely has that true local bar vibe…read more Tons of options to choose from, which I always appreciate when everyone in the group wants something different. We ordered a little bit of everything: Philly cheesesteak totchos, pretzel bites with cheese, and cross-cut waffle fries. The Philly Cheesesteak Totchos were the star crispy tots piled high with what might honestly be some of the best cooked steak and veggies I've had on bar food. Super flavorful and done right. The waffle fries were perfectly cooked nice and crispy without being overdone, and full of flavor. Pretzel bites were your classic bar version well salted and paired with a really solid cheese dip that hit the spot. Overall, if you're looking for great service, a laid-back local atmosphere, and really good bar food, this place delivers. Definitely worth stopping in.

Our waitress greeted us almost immediately and was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We ordered the nachos, chislic, and a Cobb salad, and everything was spot on. The Cobb salad was fresh, and the blue cheese dressing was especially good. The nachos were a pleasant surprise--they use real melted cheese instead of queso, and they were loaded with toppings. Being from out of state, we were told we had to try the chislic since it's a South Dakota staple. It reminded us a little of Chinese-style spare ribs in flavor. It was definitely tasty, though a bit chewier than we expected. Even so, we're glad we tried it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a local specialty. Overall, great service, great food, and a fun atmosphere on the rooftop deck. We'd definitely recommend Cubby's if you're in Brookings.

I had one of the most frustrating dining experiences I've ever had at Cubby's Sports Bar and Grill…read more We came in expecting a casual meal and ended up waiting an absurd amount of time just to get our food. After placing our order, we sat there for what felt like forever with no updates, no explanation, and no sense that anyone was paying attention. What made it worse was watching other tables--who arrived after us--get served before we did. It honestly felt like we were forgotten. When the food finally came out, it didn't even feel worth the wait. By that point, the whole experience was just disappointing and irritating. If you're planning to eat here, be prepared to wait... and wait... and then wait some more. There are plenty of other places that actually respect your time. I won't be coming back.
