    Fish & Chips
    Dorothy H.

    Right in downtown Wayzata, I really appreciate the parking lot is right in front of the Muni! It's not as high-end as some of the other spots in downtown Wayzata, but I really enjoy that about this spot. The food is a lot more affordable, the staff is so nice, and no issues with finding seating. The food is pretty good - nothing amazing, but I didn't expect it to be. I think there was a nice enough crisp on the batter, and I would definitely come back to try other food!

    Very good "Salmon Bowl".

    Local favorite for many years, atmosphere and service always great...I appreciate that they try to refresh the food menu and quality. Had a "very good", enjoyable Salmon Bowl...an additional BLT kind of missed the mark, go figure.

    Hamburger with fries
    Sarah W.

    I always really like coming to here, and I think they have my favorite restaurant burger! There were a couple of mistakes, like when I asked for ice water but got water without ice, and I wanted pink in my burger but I feel it's much more well done. However! I'm sure they would have fixed the issues if I asked, but I had no need. The water was still cold enough and I still very much enjoyed the burger. Also the fries are always really good! I used to have their "muni sliders" which don't exist anymore, and they also have really good chicken wings. I've had their ribs before as well. I don't think I have been disappointed once! (Also I tried the burger first with all the toppings, but I ended up not liking them so I took them off.)

    Outdoor patio seating

    Good food, fast service & nice independent tap beers. We enjoyed a warm day under the umbrella on the patio. I enjoyed my lunch combo of a salad & sandwich. They listened to the "well cooked" bacon request-thank you! The Steak Bites were the favorite of the table: juicy and tasty!

    Chicken Sandwich and chips.

    Service was friendly! And food was quick and better than I was expecting. I also had a Moscow mule which was just ok, it wasn't as crisp and sharp as I like.

    We eat here frequently at lunch time. The food is always consistently good. The rotating soups are always tasty. The staff are super friendly.

    Telling two women i skirts to wait outside in the cold with no warning they were closing.

    I wish I could give zero stars. Had the worst experience here the drinks were horrible and the service was even worse. Came to watch the Vikings game along with a few other groups of people and never was there given a last call. We were immediately kicked out after the game with no warning, told them we ordered and Uber and were told we had to wait outside in the cold by ourselves as two women. Along with another group that was also kicked out and were mad. Safety obviously does not matter to this establishment nor do their customers. We will never be back!

    Chili with pretzel roll
    William L.

    Local watering hole with attached liquor store. Large menu with apps, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, etc. There is a parking lot attached and a parking deck as well. We tried the chili, walleye sandwich and the Reuben sandwich. Portions are huge! Not particularly memorable but a lot to eat. All sandwiches come with chips and you can add fries for $1. They have a great craft beer list on tap. There were at least 6 different local brews on tap and all $6.50 a pint. And free popcorn! Service here is very friendly and helpful. Not a bad place to stop for a beer or a drink.

I was greeted by the hostess outside and although the patio looks lovely it was 96* and I opted for inside (I do not live in MN for the heat!). There are lots of fun photos on the wall and soccer team banners hanging from the ceiling. After being seated I was immediately given water and silverware and looked over the menu. There is a good cocktail, wine, and beer menu with Guinness, of course, and several Irish whiskeys. My server, Bill, was a delight. We talked about our dogs (mini dachshund for me, Malinois for him) and our shared love of Costa Rica. I ended up ordering the French Onion soup and a Lobster Roll with fries. The soup came out first and it was just as sumptuous and beefy as I hoped. The melted Gruyère and caramelized onions made a hearty starter. The Lobster Roll was perfect: chopped lobster on a warm, buttered, toasted roll topped with slivers of pickled carrots. The lobster was chilled and didn't need any dressing at all. The fries were plentiful, thin, and perfectly crispy yet still tender inside. A home run. Excellent food, warm and welcoming atmosphere, and terrific staff made it a delightful lunch. Thanks, Bill! ;)

Throughout the meal, the server consistently checked on us to make sure we had what we needed and to refill our drinks. I really enjoyed my veggie melt- was super flavorful and loved the side sauces they provided with the fries. I also had a bite of the Reuben which was delicious as well. Fries were crispy and topped with Parmesan! It's definitely worth trying - both the veggie and meat options are delicious!

Here's my review of the food we ordered: Cocktail of the hour - aka "Golden Hour" - 8.5/10 Reminded me of mulled cider, notes of honey, very refreshing Pork Belly Steam Buns - 8.1/10 Nice texture, very tender and flavorful Mini Banh Mi - 7/10 Not bad, would have preferred the more traditional pork filling Crispy Chicken- 8.7/10 This really surprised me, from appearance the chicken didn't look that special but it was well seasoned and the sweet chili glaze really stole the show and elevated this dish! Mirabelle Smash Burger - 8.9/10 I'm a sucker for smash burgers and this one did not disappoint. Nice crispy bun and a special mustard sauce that we enjoyed and a different flavor I don't usually have on my burger Sticky Ribs - 5/10 Unfortunately these were quite dry and was comparing to sticky ribs I had last week at CoV that were fall off the bone Overall good spot, service, atmosphere, and would be happy to return. Prices were also great for happy hour.

It's extremely noisy, and the tables are very close together. We had to listen to a little boy watching cartoons on his phone the entire evening, which was NOT what I was planning for our 25th anniversary dinner. Touching on our anniversary, I called and made a reservation 3 weeks prior and begged the host on the phone to put us in a quiet corner, not in the middle of the room. I had very special plans and was going to present my wife with a beautiful new diamond ring to replace the one she got 15 years ago on our 10th. When we arrived, we were placed at a very small table right smack in the middle of the room!!! I asked the host when she tried to seat us if she could please put us in the corner table, which was vacant, and was told no, this is the best table we can give you. I was NOT HAPPY!!! Completely ruined every plan I had. We worked through the table location and made the best of what we were given. The waiter was very polite and professional and took very good care of us. The food was delicious and despite the table location, it was an awesome evening. I will say this to anybody reading... do NOT go here if you're looking for a quiet romantic evening. It's not the place. Otherwise... 100% recommended!!!!

The most uncomfortable thing is finding a place to park. If you can't find a spot in the lot, tracking down a street spot that isn't only 1 hour can be a challenge or a bit of a walk. We started with cocktails and Bread is Life appetizer (5/5). Bread is indeed life. We needed two baguettes to eat the three butters/sauces. The whipped ricotta and honey was my favorite, but the chimichurri was a close second. For entrees we split the Beet and Watermelon King Salmon Salad (3/5), A Fat Burger (5/5), Chilled Lobster Roll (4/5), and the Spicy Lobster Mac and Cheese (5/5). The salad was good, but the salmon didn't have enough seasoning for me. It's also more of a traditional watermelon salad vs lettuce salad. The lobster roll was good, but of course mostly bread. It was a hardy sandwich and filled more than other restaurants. The burger was in fact fat, cheesy and juicy. The sandwiches come with hand cut fries (5/5) and an aioli. While the Mac and cheese says it's spicy, it's more of a Minnesota spice. It's a shareable portion, but no more than 3 people if they have other food. For dessert we ordered the Mud Moon Pie (4/5). When they say it's served with a knife they mean it. The portion size is huge! Like 6-12 people could eat on it. We ended up sharing with the table next to us. We were warned it was shareable, but I wish there would have been a smaller portion option to select. We felt so wasteful not being able to eat even half of it. We loved our server. We never felt rushed, our water glasses were never empty and she split the bill with our individual dishes and then split the shared items (I love when they do this vs giving us one bill). While the prices are a little high, the portion sizes and quality of food make it worth it.
