    Atomic breakfast burrito and biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy and diced potatoes...
    Don C.

    Came to Mankato to catch Old Dominion at the Mayo Center and stopped by for drinks before the show... the place was packed with the girls working the bar like Coyote Ugly.. great service, good drinks, and good prices... met some locals who spoke highly of their food so we decided to stop in for breakfast on our way out of town, and we were not disappointed! I got the Atomic breakfast burrito and my wife ordered the biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy and diced potatoes. LARGE portions and my burrito was excellent and even better with the great hot sauce our waitress brought over. The diced potatoes were seasoned and crispy.. perfect! My wife said hers was was ok, but would be better if they added sausage to the gravy. Did I mention the excellent spicy bloody and GREAT service?!? We look forward to stopping in again when we are in the area..

    In town visiting family and was blessed with this place. It was pretty busy but that didn't seem to impact service. Food was so good, and this coming from a girl from Portland who is always on the hunt for good food and has high expectations. The Menu was pretty impressive with ample amounts of choices. I asked Ashley, the owner, who came up with the menu and she gladly gave herself the credit she was due. Bottom line, if you are in town and looking for the perfect spot for unique pub food and a nice dram of your favorite spirit or a beer the size of your head then come on in, sit in one of the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat on in a restaurant and enjoy a game playing on one of the many TVs lining the walls.

    I went to see my first live music in over a year downtown and decided to hit up Atomic Star for dinner. I was looking forward to a tasty burger after looking at their vast selection. I wish I could say I had a good experience, but unfortunately, I couldn't even stomach one bite of my Bravacado burger. The moment I sunk my teeth into it I knew something was wrong. After looking at it, I couldn't believe how this went out of the kitchen. It was pinker than a Crayola crayon. I made several attempts to call back and when I finally reached someone the server was very understanding and eager to make things right. I ended up getting the order refunded and will settle on a frozen pizza.

    Stopped by for a Saturday evening meal. Although there are Muddy Cow locations and an MC's Taproom…read morenear home, it didn't click until I read the menu which felt familiar. I'm a fan of both of those in the northern/northwestern metro, and this place didn't disappoint! They really committed to the "garage" esthetic. The handles were tools, there were car parts all over, and even the bathroom sinks fit the part. We loved it! We sat on the patio, as recommended by the host, and were able to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather. The drinks were refreshing and generally strong. The international was like their take on a Bahama Mama, and the Mercedes was an elevated Vodka Cran. Both accompanied our meals beautifully. I opted for the Spicy Dill burger with fries and seasoned sour cream. I loved the crunch of the banana peppers and the way the cream cheese helped mute the acidity. Their fries are meaty, crispy, and overall delicious. Pair it with the seasoned sour cream and you're set!

    The newest addition to Mankato is MC's Garage - a retro garage themed burger a brew restaurant…read more There dining and bar area are both large with a line of TVs facing both directions separating the two spaces. It is very bright and airy with a tasteful amount of classic car garb. The service was friendly and offered up plenty of suggestions. Regularly checking on the table. Started with the "Trash Can Nachos". The serving size was pretty generous with a number of tostada chips covered with meat and veggies. Meat was just okay with what tasted like a pretty generic "taco" seasoning. Would have liked fresh sliced jalapeños as well instead of pickled. The "PB&J Chicken Sand (yes, sand) had a really good flavor and the bacon was cooked perfect. Chicken breast was not juicy but not dry and had a very crunchy exterior. Peanut butter was delicious but didn't taste much of the hot jam. "Olive You" Burger was LOADED with cream cheese and an ample amount of green olives. Patty was cooked towards the well done side and could have been more medium. I really enjoyed the space and the staff. The food could have been a little better but it is still new and I'm certain they will iron things out.

We all got seated relatively quick and although apart, we were satisfied with the little to no wait. Food options were great, super fair prices and clean space (minus the bathrooms that our group literally couldn't use because they had no toilet paper, soap and were just icky). We went with a loaded hash brown meal which was greasy and mostly veggies instead of potatoes but a decent meal after a night of adult beverages. My boyfriend got a hollandaise, sausage and hash brown meal and enjoyed it. Getting our food was weird though, the couple we were with got half their food (came lukewarm) and ate it before our food came. They didn't get the rest of their food till we were all done eating. The server was kind though and regularly checking the kitchen and even discounted it. Wouldn't rush to come back but good, cheap breakfast when in Mankato and kind staff! (Go bathroom before you come because bathrooms were not in good shape).
