Another in a great line of Minnesota rest areas. If you've traveled through other states you know…read moreMn is among the cleanest and best. To divert a little. Somewhere in the middle section of Missouri the rest areas take a filthier turn with people who don't look like road travelers hanging in the parking lot and staring. In the Jackson Mi area on an overnight drive there were men running into a wooded area. I decided to shave and entered the lobby as a man was standing there with three women as they all smiled and said hello. Ok, that'll be ok. Soon as I got to the sink and taking out my shaving things the man comes up to the sink next to me...."here we go", I thought. He says.."..say you see those mighty fine ladies with me.. I could let you have a party with any that you want". This stop has a playground, a place for the dogs, spotless restroom, even in late afternoon, a wall of vending machines and just a scenic respite area. PB4UGO.

I stopped in to the Heath Creek Rest Area yesterday on the way to the Twin Cities. This place has what you need: - Easy access from and back to I-35. - Clean Rest Rooms - Drinking Water and Vending Machines - Nice Park-Like Atmosphere with Picnic Tables and Pet Walking Space. I did have one interesting experience inside of my 10-15 minutes here. Another car pulled up and one of the passengers was just behind me on the walk to the facilities. All of a sudden, he started asking me what I thought of Biden and how he was a big Trump supporter. As this was no place or time for such a discussion, I waved him off (twice) by saying that I don't talk politics in public. This just goes to show you that you never know who you'll run into at a rest stop, and it's best to always be situationally aware.

We rented this space for my sister's surprise birthday party. It worked out perfectly! We fit…read moreprobably 45 people in, and it felt like a lot, but it wasn't crowded. The space is updated, and a number of people mentioned how nicely it was decorated. There is street parking all around, and a couple of lots further down the street. FYI: As with other rental spaces, there is a list of items that you can't use in the space - candles, confetti, etc . . ., but they have it all listed on the website under the FAQs, so you know upfront what you are getting into. Also, you have to clean the space when you are finished using it, not a big deal, just make sure you factor that into the rental time. If I were in need of this kind of space again, I would definitely use this space again.

Places to eat, places to gather and a few places where people can kinda be off on their own. The space is small by event venue standards... but was perfect for us. We had 21 adults and 13 kids and I hadn't even noticed. The kitchen area is a great size. There is sufficient parking. The price to rent is very reasonable. The owner is great at communicating and gets right back in touch with you. I'm so very pleased!!

So if you are look for a new fun activity to do on a Wednesday night, please stop by the Grand! The drinks are great and reasonable, the food is excellent, the audience is very supportive of one another and the rotation is more than fair!

They hosted my wedding (I'm the groom) and reception there in May 2017. Keep in mind I write this…read morereview after my honeymoon and I've had a chance to breathe and meditate on my opinions of the place. So, I can approach talking about this place with an even, clear head. 1 - For months we expected to be able to decorate the night before, and at the last minute they scheduled some sort of dinner and our prep-time became the day of, mere hours before the wedding itself. They didn't tell us this until the two days prior. 2 - While both sides of the family were there decorating, one of the owners insisted on touring another group through the venue. I can't say I was very happy with this, nor with them taking photos and video of my family during set up while exploring the place. Nor with their loud conference calls about the upcoming wedding they were planning on throwing. We had to talk loudly over them to direct people in our wedding party to get things done where and when they were supposed to. It was intrusive and infuriating. I thought WE had the building for the day, no one else! 3 - The parking lot is tiny, and the number of spaces were cut in half by in-active construction equipment parked there, outdated (police-posted) "no parking" signs from months previous, and stacks of raw building materials. Yes. Entire PALLETS of wood and stone just taking up space. We missed out on 6-8 parking places in an already small lot. A hand-full of my relatives had to park out in the freaking street! 4 - The marquee was not changed to reflect the event of my wedding (as promised to be part of the package) until 90 minutes before the ceremony itself started. We REALLY could've used that early in the morning while all the relatives from out of state were arriving and looking for the venue itself. I (the groom), the maid of honor AND the bride badgered one of the owners endlessly about this and it was not done until 90 minutes before the ceremony began. But all is not doom and gloom! Now the good stuff! 1 - When it came for meal time the food was positively excellent. (Yes, they cater as well) The servers had the timing between courses (salad to main course to dessert) down to an art, and we were never left waiting for the next bit of bread or water to come out. Those folks deserve special recognition, and the chef along with them! 2 - The building itself is wonderful, clean and certainly well-stocked with staff, seating and lighting. We were never without a breath-taking view of the stage, the enormous windows, and above-average clean state of the place. Their custodial staff must be very dedicated, as I know marines that don't keep such a clean house! (I was raised in a navy household, so I have a critical eye for this sort of thing) Given the age of the place I expected a sort of rustic, musty smell or at least an outdated bathroom or two. Nope! This place was great, scentless, up-to-date and above standard in the area of cleanliness! Gold star there! 3. The pit/dance floor is a nice size, well-maintained and snug to the stage so everyone can be near the DJ or whatever happens to be up on stage. The layout of the room itself is amazing. As it was originally intended for plays and films, the columns are nicely placed and the tables are un-intrusive when it comes time to share that first dance. I could not ask for better. So all in all it was a very mixed experience. Their "amazing venue" trophies line the walls and the place is not without its long list of merits. However, it was not a perfect experience and frankly touring another group through on our special day to keep their bookings up left a seriously bad taste in my mouth. My bride made me promise not to yell at anyone the day of or make any scenes, but it doesn't keep my from voicing my opinions here.
