what a quaint, delicious and unique spot! we got a "wild hare" to stop for lunch in the area before running an errand and we're pleasantly surprised. perfect location (right next door to Crosby hotel), speedy as heck service and such a kind server. the food came out piping hot and basically gets cooked in front of you. the coconut curry soup is without a doubt one of the best I've had and the perfect pairing for the chicken lettuce wraps. the shrimp po boy leaned a little salty but made due with the additional toppings and dressings. cocktails were to die for! would love to return. read more

So Sad...It has gone way down hill and for $100 with tip and NO alcohol! Left a great review when they first opened and have been back a few times since with no real issues. Went in on Saturday and and several items were 86'd because they were int he middle of a menu change. Totally get that and no real issue we just worked around the out times for something else. The Good the waitress, she was apologetic about the 86'd items but we were fine with that. The BAD...The FOOD was horrible. Appetizer cauliflower/falafel, which has been good in the past but this time-flavor was way off and salted like the ocean. Mediterranean bowl, they claim tomatoes, cucumber, well you could barely see any vegetables and 4 pieces of chicken . The quinoa had zero flavor and had to ask for more cucumber/tomatoes . Left 80% of it in the bowl. Hercules Burger, let's leave it at this...Smelled like manure, the bun was not fresh and tasted horrible. Left 90% of it on the plate. So Sad! read more

If you want a place that is rock n roll modern chic with delicious food but not great service, this is it. Very understaffed. The young waitress seemed to be more interested in flirting with younger patrons than running food. The poor kitchen staff had so much food in the window at one point that they rang the bell multiple times, and when no servers came to deliver it, the bartender (manager? Owner?) had to come over and run all the food. Our large group (14) had to wait over an hour for our food, and when we we received it, at least 4 of the dishes were either incorrect or delayed by 5-10 minutes. Half of our group was nearly finished with their meal by the time the last individual received their food (delivered by the chef themselves). At least two other parties of four were seated, ate, and left before our group was even finished with our food. Let's also not forget the cook that took a piece of food from an order before plating it and ate it in full view of patrons. Definitely recommend for the food, don't recommend for the poor service. read more

Got the chicken sandwich, which was the special of the day. A rather overdone crispy chicken filet was on a simple bun and dressed in sauce and pickles. Good, but nothing outstanding. The sandwich came with a side of French fries that were merely ok. A friend had a BBQ pork sandwich that left him a case of stomach upset. Other friends enjoyed the bowls and tacos. Prices seemed a bit high for what was ordered, but I suppose the Stillwater location supports them. read more

Small, intimate space. Loved the nostalgic art pieces on the wall. My food was great, but it took awhile to get the food and to get a seat. But a lot of gluten free options! read more

The Wild Hare - Curry bowl - New American Near Me - Stillwater, Minnesota

Bestie and I went to an art fair down by the river... and needed GOOD FOOD! AND gluten free food! This was on her GF app... so in we walked.! Great music started it off, then the funky decor, and the view of the chefs! It was fun to watch them maneuver around getting my eats ready! The service was outstanding! And everybody had a task! It was a well-orchestrated dance when the place started to fill in this dreary Saturday! I miss working in a restaurant...the energy was magnetic! GF bestie got a burger. She said it was fabulous. The fries and harissa were delicious! I got the Asian shrimp tacos. Not really Asian... so I'm not sure about that... and shrimp? They were a deep fried ___.(I'm not sure what was actually deep fried). They weren't good. At all. But I ate it. I was super hungry! Will I go back? Probably... just not getting the tacos. read more

I've been curious about this place for a while. My best friend is gluten free, and Wild Hare is AMAZING at catering to special dietary needs. We came on a weeknight and there was no wait for seating. Our waitress was helpful and attentive, and I loved the 90s vibes. This felt like an upscale dive bar. We got the cheese curds to share. YUM. The batter was airy and crispy, and the cheese was perfect. I got the cilantro lime aioli to dip, and my friend got the horseradish aioli. My dip was perfectly balanced! I didn't try hers because I don't like horseradish. For mains, she got the shrimp poboy on a gluten free bun and I got the Korean bowl with tofu. The bowl was so good. Usually, I worry about not having enough sauce, but that definitely wasn't the case here. The veggies were fresh, and the tofu had a really good flavor. I'd definitely get this again. Prices seemed fair for the dinner, and it's a great price point compared to other Main Street businesses. I'll be back. read more

Appreciated all the gluten free options and the knowledgeable staff. All good had great flavors. Cheese curds were perfectly salty and I enjoyed my burger. Husband had the cauliflower "wings" and they were really good! read more

OVERALL: Pretty middle of the road. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but it's decent! ATMOSPHERE: A pretty busy location and definitely more of a dive bar vibe with a small patio. We were seated indoors so maybe I would've had a more positive experience taking in the views outside? SERVICE: we were seated in the bar area so our service was a bit spotty because our server was also the bartender. Usually not a problem but we just didn't see her as much as we needed to (especially when there was a problem with the food, we sat for about 10-15 minutes looking and waiting) FOOD: we ordered the cauliflower falafel, mushroom tacos, and shrimp po-boy. The sauce for the cauliflower falafel was amazing but the caulafel itself was an odd texture. Not sure why change an already good thing? Falafel is already vegetarian so not sure the reason for the swap. It was okay. The mushroom tacos originally came out cold- tortillas not heated up so it broke right when it was picked up and it seems like a salad (cold mushrooms too - not just the slaw) on cold tortillas. Pretty disappointing and our server says that they get that feedback a lot because of the slaw (it wasn't the slaw) but when they brought it back actually warm it was pretty flavorful and didn't fall apart. The shrimp po-boy was tasty but small/not super filling. PRICE: I think if these were "budget" items I would think differently but their whole menu was pretty 4 star restaurant pricing for 2-3 star experience food. Our appetizer was $11, the tacos were $13, and the po-boy was $14 (no side included) read more

I love me a 90s theme honey - it's my all time fave. All of the cocktail names have a 90s reference and I'm here for it. The cocktails were delicious, I'm usually more of a craft beer gal but I can't pass up a delicious looking cocktail with a fun name! Our waitress was fun and friendly, along with all of the other staff. I originally thought the menu would be different entrees and things, why I thought this I don't know. Apps, burgers and bowls - delicious bowls I might add! Honestly I chose the bowl based on other yelpers reviews, something I wouldn't normally eat but I'm glad I ordered it! It was so good, I ate every last bite. Tender meat, great flavor and crisp veggies. read more

Awesome new addition to the Stillwater main drag! Came in on a rather lively Saturday night not too long after opening day. They were bustling! The wait wasn't too long and we were able to grab a drink at the bar, admire the 90s paraphernalia, and play a round of pinball before being seated for dinner. Started out with the Moroccan cheese curds and they were excellent! Be sure to peruse the dipping sauce section for a variety of flavors. The rice bowl dish and chicken wings were a-okay. The spicy Szechuan was a nice blend of spicy and sweet and not saucy. Our server was very attentive on a busy night. Really glad we got to check out this new place! read more

Good flavors, fun atmosphere, vegan friendly, a bit pricey. This place knows it's audience and leans hard into the millennial vibe. If you're a foodie with a nostalgia for the '90's, this is your spot. I'm obnoxious enough to think I'm the former, and very much the latter. Got the cheese curds w/Moroccan seasoning and Korean bowl based on staff recommendations. Both were delicious! The cheese curds were surprisingly creamy. I've never had them quite like that. It was fantastic. The breading was also great. Not too much or too little, and I believe a beer batter. The Moroccan seasoning is dry and brought on the side. A nice touch so you can determine how much or little you'd like. The Korean bowl had a ton of flavor! Large slices of veggies, hearty portion of rice noodles, and just enough broth (for lack of better term). The bowls come veggie, but you can add a skewer of protein for a charge. $6 for a single skewer of chicken seems a bit steep to me, but I wouldn't hesitate to go back. read more

Great burger and great service! Good cheese curds! Cozy atmosphere! Good looking menu!

Incredible experience. Fun atmosphere, delish unique food and kind servers. We loved the ability to make reservations- it's hard to find many places that will now days. They also stuck to their time limit policy to get another table in- we've recently been burned by other restaurants who don't take reservations and have no limits so we appreciated this. We have some gluten free eaters in our group and they had so many choices here. They were extremely knowledgable about the kitchens policy's surrounding gluten and what we could and couldn't have. Moroccan gluten free cheese curds were out of this world. All the drinks we had were lovely, loved the juice tonics. The one with the green machine juice and gin was my fave. We also had butternut squash shakshuka which was new to us but very good. Loved hearing all about where it originated in from our server. I had the Casablanca burger and would absolutely get it again. Everyone loved stealing my fries. Several others in our group got the bowls- both Latin & Korean and all had great things to say about their dishes. Overall a new favorite spot for sure! read more

Drinks were mediocre. Staff were inattentive. Seated ourselves at the bar and was not acknowledged for 15 minutes And they didn't wipe down the sticky wet table from previous customers. Won't be returning read more

The drinks were fun! Loved the fresh pressed juices and the option to make them alcoholic. Food and service were just ok.

My wife and I were invited to try out this newer restaurant in Stillwater...The Wild Hare did not disappoint. The staff was very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations on beverages, appetizers, entrees, and desserts based off of our parties feedback. We started with the Chicken Wings with Moroccan Dry Rub and Cheese Curds. Both were excellent. The cheese curds had the right amount of salt, crispiness and cheese gooeyness. The Chicken Wings were crispy and the dry rub was perfect. The homemade ranch and bleu cheese sauces were excellent dipping sauces. For entrees, my wife and I had the Papa's Burger and the Korean Bowl with Steak. The burger was delicious, full of flavor. The Korean Bowl was magnificent - the pairing with the steak was perfect. I wish there was a little more rice noodles, but what I had was delicious. We will definitely come back to The Wild Hare in the future and would highly recommend this to any one of our friends and family members. read more

The place is really cool. The Bar is awesome. Bartender super cute. We ordered a few apps. Everything tasted pretty good. However my friend ordered the Shaksuka, a dish we have had many many times. When we received the dish, it tasted perfectly however the eggs that are supposed to be over easy were seriously overcooked. They resembled hard boiled eggs. This is not how this dish should have ever come out of the kitchen. In addition to that, we ordered fries, before the place got busy and we were told there was a wait because everyone who had come well after us ordered fries as well. We cancelled the order. When we had paid, and were about to leave, the fries came. This all isn't something that should prevent anyone from visiting. read more

We had a wonderful experience our first time dining here. The only exception is that the entrée we wanted was not available and the dessert was sold out. Pan seared steelhead trout and Blondie. Guess that means we'll have to come back. The bowls were good back up! Everything else was incredible. Carrot soup - to die for. Hubby loved the Moroccan cheese curds. Our drinks were delicious- he Pass The Dutchie, me the Rump Shaker. Kristin took good care of us and yes, we'll be back!! SO MANY GF and Vegan options I was in heaven! Also have to mention the great 90's memorabilia and themed artwork. Patrick Swayze? Yes please. read more

Cute space but small so it fills up fast during busy evening hours. Get the appetizers and a good beer. Wings were incredible; I think we got the lemon pepper ones which were cooked to perfection. Asian fusion dishes were interesting but we'll probably skip them next time. read more

An absolutely GREAT job of gluten free options and attention to that! Thank you from two celiacs. Overall, very good food and menu. 5 diners . . . each w/different items . . . all with consensus that the food was good but didn't knock our socks off. The issue was each item could have been so much more flavorful, and therefore seemed bland compared to expectations. Examples would be the jerk shrimp (really couldn't taste a jerk flavoring) and the blackened burger. HIGHLIGHT: the GF Cheese Curds and GF Onion Rings. . . especially for a 22 year old who was able to eat both of those for the first time in her life. We will be back to try again ... and if not the entrees, we'll simply order 3 orders of each of the appetizers!!! read more

Have to have their Moroccan gluten free cheese curds. Also, great craft cocktails! Love this place!

My husband and I tried to eat here THREE times. The first two times we waited over a half hour and never got seated. The third time we got seated at the bar, and we literally watched two other couples sit down and get their drink orders taken and delivered before we had even been greeted. If their service improves, I would try again because a lot of the food looked great! read more

My husband and I went here for the first time last night - in seek of plant-based choices in meat & potato land. We will definitely go back! We had so many choices! Servers were great, it wasn't too loud, portions were generous, food came out fast & it was deeee-licious! Super happy to have found this place! read more

Full disclosure: haven't had a full meal here, but had apps and several drinks. The cheese curds were about perfect, and the array of dipping sauces to choose from kicked things up a notch for sure. The cauliflower wings were awesome, sauce was fantastic and I love that it's an option (and there are LOTS of vegetarian and vegan options), my only problem was I felt the portion should have been a touch larger, after all cauliflower prices do not = chicken wings prices, BUT they were delish. Cocktails were well executed, we sat at the bar and had great service from the bartenders who were tag teaming like total pros. 90s vibe was a nice surprise. Overall, seems like a great addition to the Stillwater scene, I suggest trying it out. read more

Food was good but not great. We had the pad Thai. We did the "add chicken" but the chicken comes out on a skewer. It's not cut up and mixed in the pad Thai. It was just strange to not have it already mixed in with the pad Thai flavor. Could have just gone without chicken and the broccoli. The shrimp tacos were good but not great. We were expecting a bit more after reading other reviews. They also charge a 3% credit card fee which is in tiny print at the bottom of the menu. We didn't see it until we received the check. Kind of disappointing. Over all, one visit was good enough for us. read more

My new favorite restaurant in downtown Stillwater. The gluten free cheese curds are the best in MN! Make sure to order them with the Moroccan seasoning! Love the 90s themed decor and music! The cocktails are fantastic, I'm not a gin person but ordered their "rub me the right way" because it sounded intriguing, it was excellent, very refreshing and didn't taste like a pine tree! read more

Freaking finally! Although I'm a huge fan of diner food, I was starting to feel like that's all I could get in Stillwater at time. I was waiting for something new to pop up and it has arrived! I had these little fried ball things for an appetizer that tasted a little like my backyard, a little "earthy" for me, but the dipping sauce was yum! Had the Korean bowl with steak for my dinner and I slurped up every last bite. Great cocktail menu. Love that they have smoothie bowls and green juices. A lot of healthy and delicious options. Will be revisiting plenty! read more

Delicious! So so good! But man was it crazy loud in the restaurant. If you are going for a nice easy conversation place this isn't it. But loved the gluten free options for my friend read more

We have been here several times and the food off the grill has always been good. However, I ordered a Korean bowl with steak this time. The description stated that it was a noodle bowl with vegetables and noodles. I got what seemed to be soup rather than a bowl as everything was swimming in sauce. I don't know if I will be back as the food was almost inedible read more

First off- The service was horrible. For one main and one app it took around 2 hours. We waited over 20 minutes to be served water (it was a hot day!). At one point server asked if we were finished, after we had been done eating for 20 minutes, then proceeded to disappear and not return with our check until 30 minutes later asking if we wanted it. Food was bland and dry. Cheese curds had a chalky batter and Mediterranean bowl was dry and flavorless- and extremely expensive for what is put on the plate. Worst food and service I've had this year. I would really strongly recommend NOT coming here. The only pro was that patio seating was available. read more

It's nice to have a restaurant with so many GF options. That's the 4 stars. My gf friend didn't love her burger bun and she's tried a lot. All our burgers were tasty but really, really , really well done. (Asked for medium, the server was kind and asked how everything was but didn't have a chance to eat yet or would have told them, I picked off the hard bits). Burger toppings were delicious. Cheese curds were great for GF! Loved all the sauces. Moroccan spices was great! Wings and salads are great. I'd go back for another try for sure but make sure the burgers weren't so well well done. Just ask for a step down on temp on the burgers imo. Patio looks cool! I'd been before and had wings and salad which were great! read more
