Great sports bar/tavern atmosphere, great staff, and most importantly, the food was excellent. I had the walleye with Brussels sprouts and the walleye was easily the star of the meal. Absolutely delicious. Olivia had the steak bowl and loved hers too. Everything we tried was on point. The whole place reminded me a lot of Ale Emporium back in Indy -- relaxed sports bar vibes, plenty going on, but the food is way better than typical bar food. Great vibes, great service, great food. Couldn't have asked for a better first meal after a long drive into Minnesota. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

I would not recommend this place.

good place and reasonably priced food…read more wife and I met up my in-laws for a bite on Saturday around 5pm. it wasn't crowded at all, and we were seated right away. (it did get busier while we were there) the menu isn't huge, but it has a big variety of items - burger, tacos, pastas, etc father in-law and I both opted for a burger, wife and monthe in-law split a burger and a fried chicken sandwich. verdicts on the burgers: they're half pound patties with a simple prep (just salt and pepper that I could tell). honestly, if you can't get a simple prep right, you have no business selling them. we all thoroughly enjoyed them. verdicts on the fried chicken sandwich: I didn't try it, so I'm relying on my wife here. she said it was just "ok". the chicken was a bit dry and lacked seasoning. it came with a Cajun remoulade sauce on the side that I did try. none of us really liked it. I felt it had way too much Cajun seasoning and just kind of overpowered everything. all sandwiches came with an absolute mountain of fries which were crispy, seasoned perfection. nothing is worse than soggy fries, and I would have walked out right then if they were floppy. well, not really, but I still hate soggy fries. ambiance: we were seated at a booth by the bar, so it was a little loud, but we were still able to hold a conversation without having to yell. price: mains range from $15-24, so not too bad. we didn't get any appetizers. I'd definitely go back and get another burger.

I came to Carmine's around 7 PM for the first time and was immediately told that they were full and…read morethat I couldn't be seated. What made the experience confusing was that I could see several empty tables, so I politely asked for clarification. I was then told there was an event happening, but there was no indication of an event, nor was I given any explanation about how that affected seating. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was seeing other people being welcomed in afterward without seemingly being informed that the restaurant was "full" or that an event was taking place. (Neither of which stated they were there for the event, and was seated at two of the empty tables.) I want to be careful about making assumptions about anyone's intentions, but as a diverse customer, the interaction left me feeling unwelcome and questioning whether I was being treated differently because of how I looked. There was no clear explanation, no alternative offered, and ultimately no opportunity for me to even experience the restaurant as a first-time customer. (Attempted to come back another day, was told the same thing, and was advised I could have beer, but no food or cocktails @ 6pm. Simply just left and gave up on this place.) I understand that businesses can have private events, capacity limitations, or other reasons for turning customers away. The issue was the lack of transparency and the way the situation was handled. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, mine was that I wasn't wanted there. The location itself seemed like it could be a nice place, which is why the experience was disappointing. I hope management takes a closer look at how situations like this are communicated and how all customers are made to feel welcome. (If that matters.)

Visited during bingo night, and wow--it was packed and very loud. If you're looking for a quiet…read moredinner, keep that in mind. I ordered the Birria Pizza. The birria beef was flavorful, but there was a little too much avocado crema for my taste, and the consommé didn't have much flavor, which was disappointing since that's usually one of the best parts of a birria dish. My mother-in-law ordered a rice bowl and said it was huge but had way too much rice compared to everything else. My partner had the Alfredo, and that was probably the favorite at our table. It was creamy, tasted great, and I liked that they used cavatappi pasta instead of the usual fettuccine. We skipped appetizers and dessert this time. Overall, the food was decent but didn't really wow me. I'd give it about 3 out of 5 stars. The Alfredo was a pleasant surprise, but the loud atmosphere and a few misses with the food would make me think twice before coming back during a busy event.

What I will say about the Full Tilt Tavern was that this place was nearby my hotel and I wanted a…read moreplace to check out and watch the Twins game. The staff here was very friendly as well as the guests and the food. Food prices were pretty fair the drink prices were a little Sky High for what they were. Wait times were not bad at all and I do love the amount of interaction that is involved with the store with all the games that are also featured here too. My one big gripe about this place is that the games itself are overly expensive and I understand that they give you "bonus credits" for what you spend when you initially get your card. I only put $10 in but I only played a few games since that's all that I could afford. Mainly I just enjoy playing all the pinball games which I was sucker for. It's got a great sports bar atmosphere but expect to possibly spend about $80-$100 if you're coming here with friends . It's a fun time but it's enough to break the wallet a bit

Hubby had a pasta that he is still talking about (the following day) My Son had a burger and waffle fries that he said he really enjoyed and my Daughter in law the chicken quesadilla. This was the only fail - way to many onions. Great amount of cheese but we decided it should be called an onion and cheese quesadilla- that's how many onions in it. Good experience. Service was good

The response time for this emergency by the employees here was amazing so I'm glad they were on top of it. Let's talk about the food though, it was amazing! Pretzels were soft, beer cheese was strong on beer flavor. Cheese curds were probably the best there. The burger was flavorful and cooked right. The ranch was really good here! The portions are pretty big, we all had leftovers. I liked the different options of sides that come with the entrees. The drinks sounded delicious too but it was a bit too early for me to drink. Dani was an awesome waitress, very attentive and calm even through the emergency. This place gives off small town dive bar when you walk in with the bar side but the other side has plenty of seating options with big booths, it was nice it was separated and depending on what type of mood you are in you can choose to sit wherever. Plenty of parking and easy to get to.

I stopped by for dinner on a Tuesday and it was pleasantly busy. My server Addison was right there to answer questions about the menu. I (of course) ordered the Reuben and three sides. I expected the sides to be small and I was surprised at how large they were. And they all were outstanding. The onion rings were large, thick, and crispy. A side order has about a dozen rings. The crock of mac & cheese has a delightful kick and when I asked Addison about it she said they make it with their queso. The bowl of Cowboy beans also has a kick and a nice smokiness. While I was eating, both managers - Amy and Jeff - stopped by to see how I was enjoying my meal, which was nice. Finally, the Reuben. I was pleased to see the corned beef was shredded but unfortunately it was very dry and tough. I wanted to cut one half into two pieces but I couldn't with my table knife. The flavor was good, the marble rye nicely grilled. It could have used a LOT more sauerkraut because the meat:kraut ratio was meat heavy.

The biggest one got their food in a slow moving wave, with the last person getting served as the first people were paying the bill. At other tables, there was literally no service. I ended up toasting my wife's birthday with someone else's water glass. We eventually left for Full tilt, just to get something to eat.
