    Pleasantly surprised and nice experience! The food was pretty tasty. I had the Lupe's Avocado Chicken Flat Bread. Lots of veggies, basically a salad on a flat bread! My boyfriend had the Turkey Club and ordered a side salad of extra. He had iced tea and I had coffee. Good service. The waitress kept refilling our drinks. We enjoyed our lunch here. Be warned though, need to pay in cash. There is a $2 charge for credit/debit card payments.

    Pan Fried Walleye and mashed potatoes

    Driving home from a takeout order as i write this review so I have yet to try the food but the service was terrible! The hostess was completely missing, a sign at the hostess stand said pick up to-go orders at the bar and the bartender just redirected me to the hostess stand. The bartender was rude and not at all helpful. I will not be a returning customer. We'll... I tried the food, it was nearly as bad as the service. Would you pay $21 for this? Walleye was paper thin, the breading was thicker than the fish, and over- cooked. The mashed potatoes had a hardened exterior and my kids fries honestly tasted like they were day old.

    We decided to go here after my cousins Swearing-in ceremony (police). We had a group of 7 and when we walked in we did see a sign about large groups of 10 or more may not be accommodated, first come first serve basis. So maybe not idea for large groups. They were pretty empty when we walked in, no one was at the host stand but there was a sign that said wait to be seated (unless you wanted to sit at the bar). We were sat next to the door, I would say it's not idea when it's cold out because you can feel the air come in every time the doors are opened. There was also several flies around this area which isn't idea for an environment to eat in, especially indoors. The waiter was generally attentive. We all ordered drinks, then food. For some reason one of the meals came out at least 15 minutes after everyone else's (we all ordered at the same time). Also 2 people ordered Caesar salads and because one person only ordered a salad (food wise) its was implied they wanted a full size vs the side salad portion and prior to the meal they delivered 1 salad saying "who ordered a Caesar salad?" In which one person responded they did (even though there should have been 2). After maybe 10 mins or so she wanted to ask for extra dressing, and come to find out it was someone else's salad and they brought out a full size salad with the food. That was a bit of a mess. Ordered wings & fries. Asked for the wings to be fried hard/crispy, they weren't, but were overall fine. I got the spicy dill flavor. They were decently seasoned. The fries are interesting here. They are more so like a hand cut fry. The food overall was decent. I ordered a melon bear drink, it was okay. Overall I'd say service could be a little better and the fly situation/cleanliness could be better.

    Cheese Curds

    I'm surprised by the reviews, but I've only visited for Happy Hours so maybe that's the difference? It's close to our campus and it has hit the spot both times I've stopped in! They host an all day Happy Hour which includes a wine, beer, and some liquors. I opted for a Tito's and Diet Coke. The drink was strong and the service was quick for me. We split several apps - Pretzel Bites - I was not expecting to enjoy these! They were soft but had a crust on the outside and the cheese sauce elevated them to a whole new level Cheese Curds - these cube shaped cheese curds had a unique breading (thicker than a typical cheese curd, but not overly thick) and paired well with a traditional marinara Buffalo Chicken Dip - spicy, creamy, and hearty! The bleu cheese was mild - I'm usually anti bleu cheese, but wasn't bothered by it. The naan was warm and held its integrity with the heavy dip Fries - such a cool shape! Perfect for dipping and meaty while also being crispy. The seasoned sour cream brought it all together

    My friend recommended me this place because she said how she liked the duck wontons. The only time I ever had duck wontons was at the state fair so, I was excited to try this place out. I went during the weekend so, I would say it was pretty busy but there was still plenty of seating. If I had to be honest, the food here was alright. PRO- 1. There are many options to choose from the menu 2. My server was nice and friendly 3. I would say everything is reasonably priced CONS- 1. The burger was tiny...I was a little shocked when it came out 2. The banana foster is veryyy sweet. I usually like sweets but it was a bit too much for my liking 3. All the portions were small so, I could've ate it all alone but I usually like sharing with friends Overall, the food wasn't terrible but I am not sure I would come back again. I think this restaurant definitely has the potential to improve some things up but I still think it is worth a try.

    If you've been to a Muddy Cow, you've been to MC tap house, biggest difference, MC Tap has better food. Here's the thing about MC tap house on our visit that you will have to remember during this review, we got there, late ish, on a Thursday in May. It's was probably 830/9pm when we got there. This place solely based on atmosphere is an absolute 1.5 maybe a 2. It's completely trying to be a downtown bar mixed with a downtown club. It has next to 0 authenticity in aesthetics. It's a cookie cutter platform with Muddy Cow but none of the rustic feel. Truly inside it belongs attached to a shopping mall. It's hiding inside a small commercialized section North where you would expect it. From the outside it says tap house with warm lighting. From the inside it's 20 tap beers, which almost all are from commercial breweries. Not to mention that during our visit the music could only be described as late 90s, early 2000s R&B that didn't make the radio. I was honestly I thought I was in a bad club the entire time we were there, and this is next to a Cub Foods apartments that start at 2K a month. Much to my surprise however, we had absolutely amazing service and were surrounded be staff. Our waiter was very thoughtful, polite, and quick. We were sat quickly, and had our drinks and refills very timely. The food came out in perfect timing despite our late arrival and no one seemed in the slightest annoyed that we were ordering so close to kitchen close. The food was actually pretty tasty. I've had better burgers but the take on fries was well worth ordering. They were crisp and close to the size of a wedge but airy almost like tastier pork rhines. The burger I had was, better seasoned than expected and cooked exactly how I ordered it but hardly worth the 15 dollar price tag. The cheese curds were good as well as the Italian sandwich. But overall everything besides the curds were lack luster for the number of ingredients in them. Overall the service was great, the food was average, and the atmosphere was commercialized with terrible music. Don't know if all of that out weighs the great service or not so I don't know if we're going to make a return trip.

    Went with a group of friends and asked a waiter if we were able to sit outside, she was very nice and polite and lead us outside to the patio and served us quick! It was a busy day too so I was surprised how quick she was. We went for drinks, everybody said they liked their drink and wanted to come back another day since it was our first time.

    Came here on a Monday night about 2 weeks ago! Server was great and it wasn't busy about 6pm. Burger was just okay. Was dry and couldn't really taste the sauces that was on it (flammin blueberry burger). Loved the fries and that they were different than your standard fry. My friend loved the duck wontons. Would love to come back and try a different entree.

    Minnesota Sushi

    Decided to swing in here to see a friend play an acoustic set on the patio. With suburban bars I usually don't expect much, but their apps were surprisingly good! Even if you just need fries to sop up all the alcohol, it's worth it. The drinks were priced great as well! As a pickle wrap lover I had to get the deep fried Minnesota Sushi! It was yummy and had a bit of a spicy kick! The service was slow to get seated, but once we sat down, we were checked on often. We were even gifted some free beers another patron forgot to grab before leaving! Parking lot. Classic new bar ambiance with an industrial twist. Decent sized patio with an outdoor bar. Some tables have umbrellas, and a tree blocks the sun as it sets. Fairly busy on a Thursday night but no wait.

    Came here after a friends wedding today and even though he had a written reservation for 26 I think they had no clue when we arrived. Luckily our server saved the day by letting us in the party room that wasn't being used. After some initial awkwardness things started moving in a good direction. The ordering process was far from ideal as you can imagine but with only one server for all of they managed to get things going. The wontons were pretty good but drowned in a sauce that was ok. I had a salad and a plus the lady had the Boursin burgee and it was ok not cooked to temp but she was happy. All in all 3 stars for the whole place a girl nest to us at the table had hair in her French dip the manager never came to talk to us except to drop food and then seemed very rude. The bathrooms remained dirty the floors were sticky and the food average at best in my opini There are way better places to go in the area

    Whiskey glazed wontons. So good I forgot to take a pic!

    Love the mussels here. I had them one time and they were way too salty but I think it was just too late at night on a Sunday. Lots of beers to choose from but no updated beer list they can hand you so it's a bit tough to know what it is. Bartenders are friendly though and the service and food is good. Get the nachos!

    The service is horrible. It told 20 minutes to order a drink. Never even took your food order.

    Took my first visit to @highpinesbrewing for a flight of a few of their beers. Sadly I wasn't able…read moreto try their food, but the food from the @tipsysteer looked delectable in any case and I will need to visit again to give it a try. Aguavarita: This was a Gose that had agave and guava added which gave it a nice balance. The tartness from the core Gose sour style leveraged the sweetness of the agave / guava to taste nearly like a margarita. Hazebiscus: An extremely fruity and juicy Double Dry Hopped IPA. The use of this year's Pink Boots Blend (HBC 630, Idaho Gem, Loral, Talus, and Triumph) gave off raspberry and red currant on the aroma with a huge blast of grapefruit, citrus, and raspberry on the flavor. A medium hop bitterness rose in the finish. Very enjoyable DDH IPA in addition to $3 per pound of the hop blend donated to the Pink Boots Society scholarship fund (which High Pines used 44 pounds) Home Improvements: A black lager with sales being donated to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. Medium-thin body with a lot of roastiness for a lager. Pitch black, bitter, and refreshing. Beyond the roastiness, there are medium-low dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans on both the aroma and the flavor. Still refreshing on the warmer summer days.

    I've never had such bad service before. I came here a bit ago and suggested to come here with the…read morelarge group I was with, but that wasn't a good idea at all. The space is quite large with open seating - something I'd expect is great for a large group. I asked if we could combine some tables and the staff said they'd do it for us. We ended up having a table for 8. While more people in my group showed up than expected, we ended up adding a few more chairs. With the open seating and lots of tables available, we thought it would be fine. However, the staff didn't seem to be too happy with us. Our group had not gotten together in a while, so a couple of us had switched chairs to talk with different people. The server said in a very rude way, "You guys need to stop switching seats. I can't keep track of your orders and you want this on separate checks, right?" We had never asked for separate checks and I would have offered to pay on one check if it made it easier, but she left right after saying that. Towards the end of our stay, after paying and enjoying some last minute shakes (around 9:15pm, they close at 10), the same server started putting away the metal chairs VERY loudly and carelessly while we were still finishing up. We all watched her throw the chairs on top of each other as we stayed silent because we couldn't hear each other over her stacking them. We took the hint and left. Everyone inside the restaurant followed after. I assume because they, too, felt awkward as she was loudly cleaning up. The food was mid at best, the beer selection and unique combinations are great, but the bad service made the experience miserable. I didn't notice the server treating any other guests as bad as our table, so I am just not sure why she treated us the way she did. I definitely won't be back.
