Troubles is a basic hometown bar and grill that has recently went through and remodel to the…read moreinterior. A nice upgrade that has made the place pretty comfortable and more open. Basic line-up of beers. Some darker brews and rotating IPAs would be nice, but I understand providing what the customers drink. Happy hour from 3 - 5 every day is quite nice - buy one pint and get another for $1. The service is usually quick and friendly. While the food used to be a bit hit or miss, it seems the consistency of the food has greatly improved. Good selection of options including pizza, sandwiches, wraps, and baskets. The onion rings are great - very good sauce to go with. Pizza is pretty good - the Trouble's Troubler is a worth trying. The burgers are pretty decent. Upgrade to the fries as they are fantastic. The rib basket may be a hidden secret for this place. While there are varying options about ribs, I am one that appreciates a bite to the rib, good portions of meat, and obviously, good flavor. For $15 you get a good portion of meaty ribs and chips. And these ribs taste better than some of the BBQ joint ribs I've had. If you are into wings, the smoked wings here are some of the biggest, meatiest wings I've had. And when you're all done, why not try some dessert pillow puffs - drizzle some chocolate and caramel on them fluffy carbs, and you've got a great dessert. Not a huge parking lot, but plenty of street parking around the neighborhood.

We took a few minutes to order as the age range of our group was 12-73 years of age. The waitress was kind, and patient as we ordered. After ordering the food came quickly. We had a variety off the menu ranging from Salad to rice bowels and three different types of burgers. The Food and service was excellent! The manager came and asked how the meal was and was very pleasant. Prices were reasonable and portions were huge. I highly recommend this establishment and we will come back again.

They seated us together, even though it was their lunch rush, and the staff took care of every detail for our large group. Service was excellent; servers were always nearby checking on beverages, food, and anything else we needed, without ever feeling intrusive. Everyone at the table commented on how good the food was - great flavors, generous portions, and well‑made drinks. We've always loved Willy's On the Water, but this experience really confirmed that they're a fantastic choice for larger parties as well. The manager, Gavin, and his staff--from hostesses to servers--were amazing and incredibly helpful throughout the event. I would highly recommend Willy's On the Water for both everyday dining and special occasions.

Sort of a local working man's bar, biker bar and sports bar mix but you can still bring the family. If you're in the area stop in. Affordable good food, affordable drinks that aren't skimped on. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars was due to cleanliness.

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!

I ordered a big IPA, and they are large and not crazy expensive. I ordered two more. They were a little understaffed, so our lunch lasted about an hour and a half, but we were in no big hurry.

It was perfecttion! I ordered the Squeaker, a pulled pork sandwich with a side salad. The meat was plentiful and the side salad was good size. The dive bar feel was so great and lots of sports teams were there enjoying themselves. Lots of TVs with sports on and a TON of beer on tap! My kind of place! Besides the long wait, I loved this place! Next time, we will order the pizza when we leave the Cities and we should all be good. Try it out for a small town dive bar with great food!

We also had fried green beans and I felt they were fried in week old oil. Again just not good food.

The drink itself was strong yet good, and they had a promo going on so I ended up getting the whole thing for just a dollar. They had sándwich and other food options as well but I just went for the drink. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're spending anytime in Prior Lake.

Dirty table, all tv's on the same channel with some obscure sporting event on, and music very loud in the bar are but nothing in dinning area so you're just getting the sound from the bar. Food was the real downside. I had the Cowboy burger with onion rings. Burger was over cooked (I asked for medium rare and it was very well done). Onions rings looked good but there was cold batter just below the crust. Sadly I was nauseous when I got home and couldn't eat the next day due to upset stomach. I waited a couple of days to write this to see how it turned out, I'm fine. I question the cleanliness of the place. I doubt very much we'll go back, there's a bad taste from the experience.
