We really love & enjoy going to meisters! You're in a SMALL town so the expectations should be that small town vibe which they fully fulfill. They are a scratch kitchen which is rare to find and the prices are hard to beat when the foods always good! The wait staff is always kind and remembers you if you make your way back a few times. read more

We arrived to this tiny, hole in the wall place that could also be considered a biker bar. We seated ourselves and the server came over right away. She wanted to wipe off our table (which I appreciated!). My son ordered a beer ($3.75 on tap!). We also ordered the cheese curds which were very good! We also ordered the special, which was all you can eat fish fry. We got our food, and it was very good! The fish and french fries were a bit on the greasy side (which accounts for 1 less star). The tartar sauce was the best I've ever tasted! Overall, this was a great little restaurant and I will definitely return! read more

Delicious! Fabulous family place with good home cooked meals and fabulous specials! We came for the burgers and hand cut fries and they did not disappoint! Great food and service with reasonable prices! read more

Great hamburgers!! Friendly staff! Relaxing environment. Attentive staff. Food was made to order as requested.

Monday lunch special here is the BEST! Prime Rib Sandwich with either fries or cole slaw for $11.99. Best deal in town! The meat is REALLY prime rib, cut up & delivered in an awesome focaccia bun with cheese!...you can simply dip it in the au jus, add horseradish creamy dressing or freshly ground real horseradish! We opted for the real deal: real horseradish-it packs a kick (in a good way). Excellent service from our waitress-she was busy but friendly. I like the small town goodness vibe of this place-the staff seem genuinely happy to see you! Great taps-especially the always fresh keg of Oktoberfest beer on tap! read more

Were having a nice dinner until this man comes in with his dog, there has been a long time since we were here because this happened before. There is nothing that spoiles a meal than a dog roaming all over the place and the wait staff playing with it, then continue to work without washing their hands. It will be a longer time before we go back. read more

I can't believe I haven't remembered to write a review for this place until now! It's a super fun atmosphere-all the waitresses and bartenders have been AMAZING. We've brought our dogs with in the summer on the patio and they are even attentive to their needs. All of the food we've had here has been exceptional and it is our go to place for excellent hamburgers. Awesome cool choices for WHICH burger-we've had several-and every one has been excellent! read more

In my review of Meister's I incorrectly stated that I had a modified club on focaccia. This was at a different restaurant. I had the hot chicken sandwich which was good. Sorry for the confusion on my part. Still recommend Meister's for casual dining and beverages. read more

It's Christmastime at Meisters in Scandia MN. Crowded and noisy but fun and warm. With such a small staff, service can be slow but the food was really tasty. We had the Philly Cheesesteak and the chicken sandwich. Just right for a cold day in December. read more

Food 4/5: Overall, the food is above a beyond the "the bar food" average. The Walleye and Broasted Chicken is our favorite for entrees. Service 4/5: The restaurant get busy on weekends and warmer patio nights. Our waiter was overall helpful, tentative, and respectful. Atmosphere 4/5: A go to place in the summers! On most Saturdays and Sundays there is live music on the patio and it gets packed. The inside is more of a darker lite bar ambiance. read more

Updating my earlier review. What I wrote before is all true. Standard bar-and-grill food; warm, casual atmosphere, typical small-town feel. Since the pandemic, Meister's has added outdoor tables, where I sat today with friends for breakfast after a bike ride. It was nice to sit outside, but...breakfast needed improvement. Dining companion's cheese omelet featured the veggie fillings he'd expected, but the cheese consisted of a square of Kraft American set atop the outside, only partially melted. Unless noted, all breakfasts include their cheesy hash browns. I ordered the Scotty Special, the standard eggs/hashbrown/meat/toast breakfast. I asked for no cheese and they accommodated. However, there was no meat on my plate. When I pointed that out to our waitress, she told me that was not included. (I double checked the menu later, and yes, the description includes breakfast meat.) In summary, yes, go to Meister's and enjoy a meal out in the country...for lunch or dinner. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's always a great stop when out on the bike. The staff are great. The food is great. One thing I was disappointed in this last time I was there is the fish fry. Last year it was the best in the state. We went there recently and it was no where close to as good. They changed something and it isn't working. Please, if you read this, whatever you did to change the Friday fish fry, please change it back. There's no where else around that was as good as Meister's fish fry used to be read more

Meister's Bar & Grill is a great little bar in a beautiful and quaint little town. After hiking at the nearby state park, my bride and I decided to stop there. Outside/inside seating. The food is good bar food. The German Nachos were weirdly good. Burgers are nicely cooked and tasty. Not a huge tap line, but decent choices. Our waitress was pleasant and made sure we were well taken care of. If in the area again, we will stop. Perhaps I might even come hungry enough to try the 2lb burger challenge! read more

pretty disappointing. just stopped in hearing burgers were to die for. seated and had a beer. ran into friends that ordered to-go after my order went in. they got their order after about 29 min. then I got mine about 15 min later. pissed. not in habit of walking out (and paying just for beer) but was in the process when my food came. food okay but how bad can you f@&k up a burger n fry order? anyway...won't be back. btw..Riley waiters was excellent. read more

Fun! Friendly! Quick service! Local customers. Good food; German Tacos. Good prices.

Legend has it, since 1959, Meister's Bar and Grill has been serving up some of the best burgers in Minnesota. They also happen to have a good challenge. Tonight, I drove to Scandia, Minnesota, about 45 minutes northeast of Minneapolis, to check this place out. Absolutely delicious challenge! Juicy burgers, a generous serving of cheese curds piled on the burger, onion ring, and fries. The previous record was 10 minutes. The new record is 8:33! The only downfall was that the restaurant didn't have tshirts in stock. But they said they'd mail me one. read more

Each winter (January-March), the Scandia-Marine Lions Club is able to do Bingo games for Meister's customers. The tables and booths often are filled with people who enjoy playing a game or two (or the entire afternoon of games) while having something to eat or drink. It's a fun way to spend some time out of the cold; and the burgers and fries are always great. Looking forward to the 2020 "Bingo season." It would be nice to see Meister's give out some extra prizes (besides the cash that the Lions do) for the Bingo games. A free pop, appetizer, or dessert would get people even more excited about eating at Meister's and giving them something new to try. Knowing that you could win money from the Lions AND food/beverage prizes from Meister's would attract even more people to the restaurant. It seems like an easy way to increase business and customers. Hopefully Meister's will start doing that in 2020. read more

The food and view of the lake were fantastic! A relaxed venue and the server was top notch.

I give this place a 5-star rating because it deserves that and some. This was my first visit. A friend and I decided to drive up from Stillwater to check this establishment out. When we walked in it was a change of shift Lucy was leaving and Sarah was coming in to work. We got a chance to interact with Lucy before she left, she was very personable and approachable. Based on my interaction with her I knew we would be in for a treat. Sarah was kind, helpful, and courteous she also served us with a smile. I ordered the turkey burger with fries and it was perfectly cooked, the fries were also great. Sarah made sure our drinks were always filled, she was busy but made sure we were taken care of the whole time we were there. My buddy had something different because they were out of a few things so he got cheese curds and fries. My buddy told me that he enjoyed his food also. I'll definitely return to this location, thanks, Sarah and Lucy!! read more

they fucked up my fries, uncooked ass frozen pizza, quite literally had the cardboard on the bottom placed on a tin pan. Hell, the seats look like they went to Vietnam and back.

POUR ME A C O L D O N E PLEASE ! After frequenting here both now and when the famous Meister Brothers owned this establishment, I still enjoy coming here when in the area. Is it the tastiest, greasiest, best bar food ? YUPPER DOO Heavy on the grease . The Best thing I like about here, is that you can order a half order of an appetizer. I can get 2 different apps and call it a meal. :-P That with a drink is a balanced meal, right? And, don't forget, the price is right. Even better are the FRIENDLY staff. They seem sincere, and you can't fake that. Truly. They act like they are actually happy to be at work. Why not, it's a fun place to be. In the summer, it is no surprise to see a wedding party stop in for shots. Couple that with a group of bikes pulling in, and instant party. This Meister's is somewhat off the beaten path, but worth the drive. One fall I brought my mom out here from Roseville for the Octoberfest. She was 85, and we got to polka together under a tent like when I was a kid. Certainly a memorable experience. Thanks Why does Scandia have Taco Days ? Why don't they have Swedish Meatball Days?.

I've been coming to Meisters for 7 years. The burgers are great. The wait staff are friendly and efficient. The booths were a little rough but I think they have updated them. Seem to be more comfortable. Less holes and rips in the seats. The burgers did suffer a little during the lockdown as doing takeout just wasn't the same as dining in. Maybe the cook changed too. Also seems the fries have changed a little too. I liked the way they were a little greasy. The atmosphere here is casual and relaxing. However recently it seems the lighting has changed. Perhaps they are planning to do surgery on someone??? Anyway WOW it's way too bright in here! Could really use a dimmer switch for a more relaxed romantic evening feel. Pleeease someone get a clue! No one wants to sit in a bar restaurant under bright white light.... For me this is the only draw back but it's a big one. read more

Great place great food decent service. I like their specials and their staff is very kind. Which is not real common these days.

Always had a good time here with good people and great food. Oh, and the drinks are very reasonably priced!

Stopped in for lunch after a hike at William o brien state park. Sat outside with our dog. Very friendly service, $4 beers, better than average bar food! Got the walleye bites, chicken wings and sunny side burger. Would return and order all those items again. It's nothing fancy but great neighborhood place with character. read more

Staff is rude and slow, weak overpriced drinks, and food is horrible! Well, you can forget about any of the appetizers that are deep fried because they use old oil so everything tastes like rotten onions. The foods sits around before it is delivered so the fries are cold and soggy. The onion rings come out in a big blob, and the curds, wings and chicken strips are greasy. The bartenders and wait staff (if you can find one) clearly have attitude issues and only cater to the locals and the drunks. The place is dirty, and the bathrooms are a pit with toilets that don't flush, no toilet paper, or paper towels. All of the positive reviews on here were clearly written by staff. Don't be fooled, you can pass this one by! read more

We have been here three times this summer being they are close to home. First time food was ok, not great. The second and third we sat waiting for menus while others near us got served. We walked over and asked for menus. Then they just didn't come back to us. It was really strange. The people next to us also thought it was strange. Soooo, I guess we won't be going back if we are hungry or want any drinks. read more
