So last Saturday I brought party bus of 30 people and I did call ahead and they were under staffed…read more The owner was working and she even said she knew we were coming. A young lady (25) on the party bus sat down at an empty chair, yes there was an empty drink sitting there with like 2 dollars under it. She thought he left. Turns out he was in the bathroom and when this 60 year old regular came back says to her "you have some balls sitting in someone else's spot" she said sorry and moved to the other side of the bar. He then came up to her and flipped her drink in her face. The owner that watched everything that happened and didn't do a darn thing. I will never bring a bus or even step foot in that bar again!

Came to Riverside for their Friday Fish Fry which is offered year round…read more This is your typical neighborhood bar, filled with locals all having a great time. There are a couple of big TVs, a pool table, and darts. The server/bartender was super friendly and kept up on drinks incredibly well considering how busy it was. The fish fry was AWESOME. The fish was super crispy with a lightly seasoned batter. Came served with crinkle fries and some of the best toast I have ever had. Only $11 - I will DEFINITELY be coming back.

Well suffice to say, this was the most unwelcoming, uncomfortable experience we have ever had. My only guess is because we were slightly overdressed?

We were looking for a place to eat and stopped here on a whim…read more The bartender was handling everything--serving drinks, taking orders, and running the show. He was clearly busy, but we weren't in a rush and appreciated his hustle and work ethic. He got us menus and beers for the table, and it didn't take too long for him to take our food order. I imagine he might be the same guy mentioned in some of the negative reviews, but honestly, people need to understand this is a small-town, local dive bar/grill. A little patience goes a long way in places like this. We all ordered burgers, and they did not disappoint. I had the Classic Burger - double-patty with bacon and pepper jack cheese, plus a side of crispy fries. It came with a small tub of red onion and jalapeño garnish on the side, which I added to the burger--delicious. Would definitely recommend and return.

I have not been to Cokato in the eight years that I have lived in Minnesota, so I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant space is called upstairs, and the bar is downstairs. It was quiet and the ambiance was great. I did not catch her name, but the lady working there was incredible. She was the only one helping the customers, but she did it all with grace. Shout out to her! For the food, we got their special which was the flame grilled steak and grilled walleye. They were delicious. I did not expect the portion to be that big considering it was $23 for the two meals. We also got their Mac Bites appetizer. Those were good as well. I started following them on Facebook after this meal. I hope to catch more special deals here! Tip: It looks like the deals start at 5PM. If you are in a hurry, come as close to 5PM as possible. The upstairs fill fast!

Menu is basically burgers and sandwiches. Food was not bad but not good either. Nothing special. Waitress was nice but was alone, which made things slow. Outdoor seating is for smokers so we chose to eat inside on a beautiful evening. Bottom line, it's a bar, not a restaurant. If you want a place that's kind of dive bar like, then this would be a good place. If you're looking for a nice meal I wouldn't recommend it.
