We decided to stop at Duffy's for lunch while we were passing through. We stopped on a Sunday…read morearound 1230pm or so and there was a 15-20 minute wait which we were fine with as we were in no rush! They had plenty of seating in the waiting area along with some fun signs/pictures to read while we waited. Once we got to our table there were even more fun signs/pictures to read. We ordered a regular lemonade and a strawberry lemonade. Both were good but ultimately the strawberry lemonade was a table favorite! We decided on splitting some Granda Nachos with Beef and 10 Bone in Wings in Gold Rush sauce, which is the house favorite. The wings were amazing! The sauce was very smooth and had a wonderful flavor. We could see why they are a house favorite as soon as we started eating them. The nachos were also very good. The salsa and sour cream came on the side which is nice for those who may not want that on their nachos. Our only complaint for the nachos was that the nacho cheese didn't seem spread out evenly and the chips towards the bottom got a little soggy before we could get to them. Over all our meal great and would recommend this place to anyone passing through!

On the fence about this place. Put in a pickup order while staying in Windom. I wasn't overly…read morethrilled with the menu options but it seemed to be one of the only restaurants in town that wasn't just fast food. There were quite a few decent options so I decided to give it a try. I ordered pasta that had the option of blackened chicken, lemon pepper chicken, or plain chicken. I selected the lemon pepper chicken, which I did not receive. They gave me blackened chicken instead. It was okay. I'm not a huge fan of blackened chicken flavor but it wasn't the end of the world. The breadstick was good; it had a slightly sweet flavor to it. All in all, it was fine. Nothing to write home about but I wasn't totally disappointed. I'd try other things from this restaurant. My biggest gripe was when I went to pick up my food. Upon entering the restaurant, there's a sign stating "wait to be seated". I stood there for an astonishing amount of time without being greeted. Multiple staff members passed by me and looked at me but did not acknowledge or say a word to me. I stood there so long, it felt very awkward and I debated just approaching someone myself. Where was the hostess??? I felt incredibly unwelcome and it really turned me off to the place. Like the vibes were so off that I thought to myself, I will never be back here. Finally, one of the staff that had passed by me a few times looked at me with hesitation and I could tell she was thinking about how I'd been standing there for a while but I'm guessing it wasn't her job to seat people. I took the opportunity to tell her that I was just there for a pickup order and she notified someone and then brought me the food. Had this young lady not shown visible concern about me standing there, who knows how long I would have stood there without so much as a greeting. Maybe this is acceptable in small town culture, I honestly don't know. But I personally find it rude and unwelcoming. This could just be a one off, but either way... do better!

I will…read moresay that I think it is as good as I expected it to be, but I always hope it'll be better thus I am not leaving a 5-star review. Fried pickles spears with the rock n roll sauce were great. I wouldn't have ordered these except my server recommended them out of all the apps, so I went with that. Fried things at places like this usually lack flavor and are just salty, fried bar food. These had some kick. The rock n roll sauce was like a Mayo with Frito's Chili Cheese Twists, so they were yummy. Tilapia on wild rice was ok, but it's tilapia, so how amazing can it be, right? Broccoli wasn't too over cooked and it still had a healthy green color, so I was happy with that. And the fries were a tad greasy, but they came out hot and crunchy. I think if they let the oil drain off them a bit more under a heat lamp, they'd hold their crispness a bit longer. Oh, and it was an entire plate of fries, so portions were generous. Lastly, everything was served very quickly. The place wasn't super-busy, but it wasn't dead and I was happy about the timeliness. I ordered an app first then placed an order for my entree after munching on that. And I was out done in 45 minutes. Granted, I was eating alone, but still. If you enjoy meat, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. I am a pescatarian (mostly vegetarian) and I have a sneaking suspicion that their beef and chicken options have much more developed flavors.

My prime rib chislic with this chipotle aïoli was very tasty, my mom's Smashburger was huge and you could tell it was made from scratch. Finally, this Montecristo sandwich is so unique that you almost have to order it. It comes with Cherrywood ham, turkey and cheese between two slices of brioche bread perfectly browned served with warm raspberry jam as a dipping sauce. And not only do they have good beers, check out this house old-fashioned. They have an event venue upstairs, line dancing on Tuesday nights, live music, and an awesome sand volleyball complex outside. The staff was great and the vibe was unique.

A coworker selected this place for lunch, and honestly, if I'd read the older reviews, I would have suggested we skip it. First visit, I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. The sauce has this little sweetness along with the usual spicy tang, and I was absolutely loved it. It was good enough that on day three I found myself back in the same booth at lunchtime. Round two, I went with the Reuben. I'm a Reuben person--I order them a lot, and I know when one is just pretending. This one wasn't and I could not have been more pleased. On my last night in town, I came back yet again and tried the taco salad. Because the word salad makes me nervous and I'm mostly a proud "meatatarian," I asked for extra ground beef. They did not hold back. It was a few extra bucks, but worth every penny. Coming from San Diego, the prices here just make me smile. The vibe is exactly what you'd expect from a sports bar in the best way: a good-sized central bar, booths and tables all around, plenty of screens, and zero pretense. Every staff member I dealt with was friendly, on the ball, and made the repeat visits an easy choice. Bottom line: this place is exactly what it says it is--a solid sports grill and bar. If you want cheap and instant, go to a drive thru. If you're in the mood for a martini, wine and a slab of beef, go find the prime rib place in town. If you just want good food, fair prices, and a relaxed sports bar atmosphere, you'll be very happy here. I had several great experiences and I'll be back the next time work sends me to Spencer.

But I will say I've eaten all the best places in Scottsdale and the Biltmore area, I've eaten in the steakhouse in the Winn sitting next to Al Pacino and the other best places in Vegas and this guy is getting right what higher end places are getting wrong. They tell you it is only a choice steak on the menu. When asking the waitress what was good she said locally sourced locally butchered and I 100% believe it! Better than some of the so called specialty butcher shops I've been to! This thing was perfectly cut. When I ordered it medium, it came medium. The shrimp wasn't overcooked. It was perfectly cooked, which they can screw up in any good steakhouse shockingly. This place was honest, the price was fair, staff was an absolute pleasure, and an absolute value. And I write some scathing reviews on here for me to find something to complain about on this price point The only thing I'd say is when a guy gets a fully loaded baked potato bring more than one butter. lol I'm looking for something to complain about.

My family has been coming here for years and we all order the same thing every time we come, and it's always phenomenal! The beef is SOOO tender, it literally melts in your mouth. And don't get me started on the wild rice. It's cooked to perfection and it's so buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere: Bergen Bar & Grill is a smaller restaurant that's first come first serve -- no reservations. You put your name and phone number on a notebook and they call you when your table is ready. Depending on the time you arrive, it can be a longer wait. However, they have a lovely patio where you can wait for your table OR you can hang out in your car. They do serve drinks on the patio which is a nice touch! One other thing to note, they are cash/check only. No credit cards so plan accordingly. Overall, I highly highly recommend Bergen Bar & Grill! You won't be disappointed.
