When I was a young homo sapien, WGN was the only Channel we had access to. So besides Kevin Sorbo and his glorious performance of Hercules I had the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan.... it was the ultimate childhood between the two. If only I had a bar that could express how I felt. I experienced that here at Ultimate Sports Bar and grill. Kevin Sorbo mixed with Michael jordan. Ultimate greatness. Honestly the environment was awesome I love the layout. We sat at the outside bar and even though my fear of bees is sometimes debilitating, I toughed it out due to the vibe. You could see TVs tear down heading to a interior bar on a lower level which I thought was really cool. I would love to be able to watch a Sunday football out here. We loves all of the food except for that one dip on the pretzel that was weird. I tip my hat to you Ultimate Sports Bar and grill. Oh and whoever the manager is with the goatee...the bald dude. You, sir, are an example of what managers should be doing at restaurants. I would assume you were a manager. I saw you doing everything. I assume your name was lead by example. Nice work dude, it definitely shows. Also I used voice to text for this entire review and I'm not going to proofread it so I'm hitting send.

The wings were great, had the special: beef commercial. Wanted a half order... Nope, didn't make one. Well, from my truck stops cafe, this was a half order. We had a little more beef, another slice of bread, 2 scoops of mashed potatoes, smothered it in gravy and beans in a cup on the side. Don't git me wrong, this was very good, but according to my mental picture, this was a half order. Quite enough for what I was hoping for. A little more gravy would have been nice. All in all a very filling and tasty meal. Will be back!

We went here twice and had a great experience both times on our trip. The bartender introduced the owner to us and we discussed how we had both had a fire in our restaurants in the past. It is an experience I don't wish upon my worst enemy but was great to see we had both had come out bigger and better than ever. His genuine kindness and hospitality was amazing... he even gave us tickets to the ball game! THE BEST seats I have ever seen! We were treated like royalty and felt so fortunate to meet him that day! We had food and many drinks here and everything was great. Awesome sports bar atmosphere with many games and even ax throwing! The service from the bartenders were great both times we went and we felt at home away from home. I sat in front of the kitchen door the second time and let me tell you! As a restaurant owner I would be very proud to show off how CLEAN that kitchen looked from where I was sitting! If we make it back up to Minnesota, we will definitely be visiting again! Thank you!!

Was an awesome experience for us! The food was good. Wings and Fish Tacos were both very well prepared and we both said we would order again. Many beers on tap and mixed drinks available as well. I'm pretty sure that we will be back to watch a game as there were a plethora of TVs and would not be out of sight.

It was the only restaurant that was open on July 4th. We decided to give it a try. We had their special Korean BBQ chicken fried rice, berry lemonade fish bowl, and tiramisu as dessert. They were okay. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food. The service and the atmosphere were good. It's a nice place to hang out with friends.

Crooked Pint Ale House is a laid-back local pub chain that offers a variety of craft beers, cocktails, and delicious food options. One of their standout dishes is the award-winning Juicy Lucy, a mouthwatering beefy-cheesy burger available in several different varieties. In addition to this signature dish, the menu features tempting items such as jumbo pretzels, cheese curds, and delectable desserts.
This was our family's first time going here, and we were absolutely shocked at how amazing the food was! My husband and I and our two teenage kids all loved our meals, which doesn't usually happen! Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly, we had fast and very friendly service, we will definitely be going back!

Exceptional atmosphere, food, and reasonably priced drinks. The reason it is not five stars is because of the slower service. The food was so good and perfectly seasoned!

I ordered for delivery; the Saucy Double Cheese Lucy with cheese curds and the boneless bourbon chicken wings. Due to delivery the food was warm and slightly soggy (to be expected) the flavors and preparation however were totally on point. The flavor of the wings were amazing and still crispy with just the right amount of sauce. The Lucy was medium cooked just how I prefer a burger and great flavor with fresh toppings; and the curds although small hit the spot for a side order. I would definitely recommend the Crooked Pint for good eats and preferably in house. Skip the delivery and enjoy the food fresh from the kitchen. 5***** rating from me.

We arrived at the perfect time because there was a line later when we left out the door at this popular place. So we got in right away. Social distancing snd masks were worn by staff. The place was clean and sanitary. The burgers and flat bread pizza was amazing. I had the Tator Tot Hot Dish, served with huge tator tots! This was served uniquely in a skillet. It was good. The service was good and they do have wifi, but you will have to ask for the password. The drinks were good! Come hungry as the portion sizes are large.

This place is a gem! Was stuck in the area over the Memorial Day weekend so rode down here for lunch. Had the BBQ Western burger upgraded to 1/2 lb and cooked medium and was done perfectly. Also got the Baja Breeze and it was really good! Service was on point. Very attentive but not annoying. Simple decor which is what you expect in a Bar & Grill. I would highly recommend this place!

Case of mistaken identity gone wrong... We just had dinner with a youth sports group at the St. Cloud location. While waiting for a table, a bartender walked up to me and began yelling at me, asking if I had a problem and why I made her hostess cry. I explained I didn't know what she was talking about but she continued to yell at me. It wasn't until a random guy sitting at the bar told her she had the wrong lady that she stopped. Her apology was "sorry I came at you so hard". It was a humiliating experience. When our server brought the tab I asked if the bartender wanted to comp anything for her attack. Then she came over and yelled at me again, and said she would take 10% off with the most anger. I didn't even care about the money but wanted to give her a chance to make it right. I still tipped the server 20% as it was not her fault. As a manager of a restaurant myself, I know that is never how a situation like this should be handled. I did nothing to provoke any of this. The kitchen manager I spoke with was nice and apologetic but kept referring back to the hostess getting her feelings hurt, which once again, was an issue for a different customer- not me. The whole experience was shocking to me, and I paid $80 for it!

By far the BEST wrap I’ve ever had, you have got to give the Blue Line Chicken a try! Great food, very competitive prices, amazing service, CLEAN-clean & great atmosphere! 10/10 will be back next time we’re staying in St. Cloud!
Ellen W — Google review
I used to enjoy Blue Line a lot more, but their food and service quality has really gone downhill. The Buffalo fries are never hot in comparison to the rest of my food anymore, which implies they get done with those and they sit while everything else finishes cooking. I waited a long time for my takeout order yesterday (about an hour from the time I called and when I arrived the one girl rudely told me that it was going to be longer than she’d told me over the phone because their kitchen was backed up now) and the fries were lukewarm and the quesadilla I ordered with veggies that I requested them to go light on the veggies in was absolutely loaded with them and just covered in grease. I’d like to know what normal veggie amounts they put in there if THIS is easy on the veggies. We won’t be coming back after my experience yesterday. The one girl that brought the food out to my car was very sweet, but with food like that, the attitude of the one waitress, and not getting my order right, why would I want to come there again?

Duck's Sports Bar & Grill is a vibrant destination that combines the thrill of sports with a laid-back atmosphere. With an impressive indoor golf simulator, 12 pool tables, and dart boards, it’s the ideal spot for some friendly competition among friends. If you're in the mood to relax, you can catch your favorite games on multiple screens while enjoying delicious meals and refreshing drinks from their full-service bar.
Gosh where do I even start! Father son duo for my visit and the atmosphere was so great! Had to rate a 5/5 star for the love and appreciation the owner has for his customers!

This place is great if you're looking for a spot with plenty of pool tables and a fun environment to play with friends. However, the customer service leaves much to be desired. After multiple visits, I’ve noticed a consistent lack of friendliness from the staff—no smiles or welcoming gestures, and even responses to polite thank-yous are absent. It’s disappointing, as the atmosphere otherwise has so much potential to be enjoyable. Hopefully, the service improves in the future.

H R Pesty's Saloon & Eatery is a popular spot with a great atmosphere and good bar food. The servers, Maria and Carrie, are highly recommended for their excellent service during busy times. Despite some mixed reviews about certain staff members, the overall experience seems to be positive. The place can get quite busy, especially on Saturdays, but the pricing is reasonable and the food is satisfying.
We brought a group of 8 people in for lunch today. As soon as we got inside the server was moving table around to accommodate us. Service was excellent and so was the food. It has been way too many years since I have been there. Definitely will return. And the popcorn was delicious!

I enjoy coming here monthly with a friend who is more of a regular. I usually get the Chicken, bacon ranch wrap (Chipotle ranch for spice l) and love how they fill it with all the fixings and not just a bunch of lettuce like many other places that serve wraps. I was a little bummed that I had to track down a waitress tonhey the spaces I ordered with my meal but other than later I love the food and the staff are amazing.

We arrived here and went out to the patio. Staff saw we went out to the patio. We waited over 40 mins and no one attended to us. We even asked if they serve on the patio and they said yes. Still no service. We have never been to a place with such lack of service. Super disappointing because we have been there before and it wasn't very busy at this time to explain the lack of service. They saw us leave as well and nothing was said. Very dissatisfied experience. Update: I changed this review from a 1 star to a 3 star. Very shortly after I posted this review they reached out to me and apologized. Also offered to make my experience better. I did not expect this and I really appreciated them contacting me.

Pestys has always been a favorite, however, I just ordered the club wrap the other day and it was absolutely phenomenal! Fresh crispy lettuce, fresh juicy tomatoes, the best deli meat and the bacon was cooked spot on. Not to mention they gave the tortilla a perfect browned little crust. Had to give the cook a tip because that was the best wrap I have had ever I think! Props to pestys for being amazing and taking care of their customers. 10 stars!!

I’m gonna be 100% honest this is possibly the worst deep dish I ever ate in my life. The dough wasn’t even cooked completely. Deep dish pizzas aren’t dry especially “Chicago style” $26 bullshit tbh. Cant speak on any other food here but a deep dish should have way more meat sauce and not dry. Also had to sprinkle Parmesan and red pepper heavy to get some type of flavor. Just being honest.

Super bummed! We normally love GM pizza! But the last two times they’ve goofed up a “half cheese - half Hawaiian” pizza. And this time, you can tell that the staff noticed after, cut the pizza in half, pulled the toppings off one side, and added a small handful of cheese and melted the cheese slightly - and called it good. Slapped it back together with the other side of the pizza and sent it out to us. I’m truly not sure why a half cheese pizza has been messed up TWO times now? I selected all the correct boxes online. Triple checked. I even put a special note on it this time. The note read “Half Cheese Half Hawaiian —> cheese on one half, Hawaiian on the other half”. Really bummed. Paid too much for the pizza to come out like this.

Worst service I've ever seen. Had to ask another server to help our server so we could leave after an hour of waiting for our food. When we finally got the server to come over we had her box up the food due to needing to get going. Our food was absolutely disgusting (overly spicy and no flavor other than my pasta tasting like lemonade) and not worth the money spent or the time. We also never received our free wine, from the promotion going on.

Stopped here fresh from the convention center and was greeted nicely. The service was provided by Em, who was genuine and very kind. I was recommended the gluten free chicken alfredo. It was delicious, a great choice overall. The bread served was fluffy and just enough brushed on butter to satisfy. My friend got the grilled chicken Caesar salad, his favorite. Overall, worth the experience and we appreciate the opportunity.

Live in St Cloud. But had not been to the Green Mill for quite some time. We and another couple were looking for a place that served outside. The late September weather was gorgeous. Sienna was our server. She introduced herself and was joyful and helpful. I know it is more work for servers to tend outside diners but she was so attentive. The food was way above average, priced right and nice. We will be back.

Boulder Tap House is a relaxed sports bar and eatery known for its diverse menu that includes burgers, wings, tacos, and more. They offer over 40 beers on tap, including local and regional craft options. With a dining room filled with TVs, it's a great place to catch all the latest games and matches. The restaurant prides itself on catering to different dietary needs, including offering gluten-free options and having the necessary knowledge and supplies to serve those with gluten allergies.
I don't know where to start except that I had a wonderful experience. I can't say enough good things about the service here. It has been the best I have found so far in St. Cloud. The food was delicious. I had one of the tastest burgers in my life and opened my eyes to something different and amazing. I love the build your own burgers 🍔 😋 Definitely a great dinner with excellent service. 👏

I was disappointed in this Boulder Tap House Location. I’ve been to multiple locations and always loved their food, especially the cheese curds. I ordered these right away with our drinks and they came out only a couple minutes before the rest of our food. The cheese curds appeared to have been forgotten about and were burnt and had thicken cheese on the inside, not the usual melty cheese that they have. The burgers were also burnt as well. It could have just been a bad day, but definitely a disappointing experience here.

4 stars. My wife and I stopped at Boulder Tap House in St. Cloud looking for a quality burger, and it didn’t disappoint. We appreciated that they offer a gluten-free bun option, which is great for those with dietary needs. The weather was nice, so we enjoyed dining outside on their patio—clean and comfortable, though still being fully set up for the season. Service was fast and friendly. We started with cheese curds, which come in three cheese options, though one wasn’t available. The deep-fried cheese cubes were unique but didn’t quite match the flavor of traditional curds. Our burgers were good, and the sweet potato fries were especially tasty. Prices are slightly above average, but the creative menu makes it worthwhile. I like that this place takes risks with its food—it’s not always a home run, but it keeps things interesting. We’ll definitely be back.

Place is run down looking for how nice it looks outside. Appetizers were good but the rest was not. Over sauced wings, sauces were not as listed. Burger was dry, chicken tenders and fries were fried so long they burnt. Had to have waitress take items i didn't order and she had an attitude and tried making excuses. Used to love this place but apparently good help is hard to find.

Let's get right into it. I got the crispy chicken wrap with fries. The fries were very well seasoned and crispy but were a little bit cold. The wrap was good. Not great, good. It IS mother's day but the food took a while to come out. The music in the back wasn't great. Good food, bad environment.

Worst bar I have ever been to. No exaggeration, this is the worst bar experience I have ever had. Wife and I stopped in for a quick drink and bite before a concert. There were 2 bartenders working and maybe 6 customers at the bar. One bartender was chatting with a group of 4 at the corner who she may have known and making cocktails for just them. We sat down and were not greeted by anyone for at least 7-10 minutes. Not the biggest deal, but we did not have menus the whole time and the tap list is not visible anywhere. A couple sat down directly next to us a few minutes after we sat down. When the bartender finally came over and greeted us, the couple next to us ordered one drink and got one of those tablets to gamble on. They came in to eat and knew exactly what they wanted, they said. The bartender did not check back with either of us for nearly 15 full minutes. By this time, the couple lost their money on the e-gaming thing and were done with their drink. The couple's wife told the husband to get the bill and not to tip. She walked out. We ordered a whiskey neat (terrible tap list) and some cheese curds. The bartender serving us asked the other bartender working how to make my drink. The cheese curds came before I got my whiskey poured into a glass. Cheese curds were super greasy and tasted bad. Not real cheese curds, just cubes of low-quality cheese, deep-fried. We had no napkins/roll-ups and no bar napkins anywhere on the bar either. So we're stuck wiping our hands on the greasy wax paper. The bartender left the bar to chat with the host, then they both went into the back for about 10 minutes. The manager was hanging out by the service well, doing literally nothing. They didn't check on guests, staff, make or run drinks or food. Overall, we were there about 40 minutes to order one drink, one app, and wait on the check to arrive. 3 visits from the bartender over those 40 minutes. We will never be back. (Note: I have worked in bars/food service full-time for over 10 years so I am very tolerant for slow/bad service.)

The Pickled Loon is a well-established two-level tavern in St. Cloud, offering a variety of seasonal American dishes and a full bar. The place features live music from DJs and acoustic performers, creating a vibrant atmosphere for visitors. One of the must-try items on their menu is the shrimp tacos, which come with avocado, cilantro lime slaw, tomatoes, and roasted garlic aioli.
Exceptional service! The staff really goes out of their way to take care of you — something you don’t see that often anymore. You can tell they genuinely care. And the food? Absolutely amazing. The peanut butter burger is next-level — seriously one of the best I’ve had. Definitely a spot to remember!

We and my girlfriend stopped here for lunch and it was our first time eating here. Since the weather was nice, we decided to sit at the outdoor patio. We were greeting by a friendly waiter who was happy to give us some suggestions on their popular dishes. I decided to get a pickled loon burger and my girlfriend got the Rueben. We got the dill pickle cheese curds as an appetizer. The food came quick and looked great. The cheese curds were hand battered and were very light tasting. Not drenched in grease and were very good. My burger was pretty good but I think next time I’ll get something a little more different than just a bacon cheeseburger. The gfs Ruben was delicious! I was lucky enough that she shared a few bites with me and it was phenomenal! Prices were great as well. About the same if not a little cheaper than fast food but tastes wayyyyy better! This place is a fun hang out. A very cool atmosphere inside and nice and relaxing and a good place to people watch outside. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area! I can’t wait to go back and try some others!

Hit and miss on some things. The staff are very nice and friendly and the food is actually very good when you get what you want. I have ordered from these guys two times and the first time everything was right and I was very happy with our food. I have pictures here of the Philly cheese steak with no onions and the Cali Burger. My fiance also ordered the Pickled loon with no pickles but was basically handed a plain burger as they forgot the bacon and some other dressings. My Cali Burger, was fantastic. The mixture of the cheese, sauce, and generous avocado slices made it worth ordering. I made time to order it one more time before leaving town. Personally, I don't like how there is no online ordering. I'm very awkward and don't like having to call a place to place an order. That being said, everyone who I've spoken with has been very polite and understanding of my awkwardness. The estimates for food pickup are not very accurate. I ended up having to wait an additional 25 to 30 minutes for our to go burgers. I was honestly so very excited that I could have a Philly without the onions. I know it's practically sacrilege, but I just don't like them. If you are in St Cloud, and tired of chain restaurants, give the Pickled Loon a try.

Me and my girlfriend went here on a Friday evening and it took about 45min -1 hours to get our food after asking the waitress 3xs and threating to cancel our or order food arrived and the food was lukewarm we told the waitress and she took our pop and drink off the bill to compensate for wait time and not warm food. Overall it was decent experience here and we will come here again in the future just not on a Friday evening

We had a wonderful bartender, Billy. Went above and beyond for us. Lizzie, the waitress, supposed to be one atleast, was acting inebriated. She was not paying attention to any of her tables, was crying, and being obnoxious. Made Billy pick up after her table when she was sitting down at a table with customers. Not impressed by her at all! Billy deserves a raise for doing his job AND hers. Then she took about a 15 minute "break" with her "friends" while on the clock. Making Billy fully responsible for the whole bar & restaurant. Kudos to him! She needs to go :)

Disappointed for first timers. The atmosphere is nice and cute but the service was very lack luster, inattentive and slow when it was very slow and not busy and the food all came out like 5 to 10 mins apart so we didnt really get to enjoy it together. The food was average but even the fries were not seasoned and like most of the menu items were sold out/unavailable.

Chicken wings restaurant
Takeout Restaurant
Sports bar
Buffalo Wild Wings is a popular chain that serves a variety of chicken wings, chicken tenders, and burgers. They also offer a range of sauces with different levels of spiciness. As for appetizers, they have delicious tater tots covered in pulled pork, barbecue sauce, cheese sauce, and other toppings. Some customers might find the peppers on this dish to be slightly hot.
Dined in for the All You Can Eat wings. Restaurant was clean with plenty of parking outside, and seating inside. Allison was an awesome waitress. Super attentive without being “annoying” which made the experience that much better. It’s very nice to have someone bring you items like water before you run out and need to ask or wave someone down. Wings were great with little wait time. Highly recommend!

Tried ordering through the app—only to find it had the functionality of a potato. It wouldn’t let us place a simple takeout order. So we called, confirmed they did have what we wanted in stock, and asked if they'd match the app price. The manager hit us with a hard “no,” which was bold for a place whose core product is wings and apologies. We pivoted like seasoned veterans of underwhelming service and ordered something else. And that’s where the real fun began. Our takeout order came with more things missing than a ‘90s Blockbuster Store on Friday Night: No fries for my wife’s wrap No blue cheese cups No carrots or celery No sauce for the tenders No drink Basically, we ordered a meal and got a scavenger hunt. When we went back in to retrieve the missing items, we were met with less emotion than a robot in sleep mode. No greeting, no apology, no hint of “Hey, we messed up.” Just pure, unfiltered indifference. And the wings? I don’t even know where to begin. They weren’t tossed in sauce—they were squirted. It looked like someone filled a ketchup bottle with buffalo sauce and gave each wing a lazy drizzle. If I wanted to dunk my own wings, I’d have gone to McDonald’s and saved myself the time, money, and shattered hope. Seriously sad... but, unfortunately, right on brand these days.

I never tend to write reviews but I’ve never had a restaurant experience this bad. Walked in and had to flag someone down in order to get seated. Waiter helped someone who got in after us before seating us. Table was dirty and had to wait a while for it to be cleaned. Ordered drinks and they forgot to bring them until reminded, put in orders wrong that we got charged for. Ordered regular wings not expecting them to be spicy and ended up with something so spicy I got a pretty bad stomach ache. Asked the waiter if it could be fixed and they refused saying they put the wings down as the spicy ones without asking. Then also forgot my fries. There were maybe five other people there so they cant use being busy as an excuse. First time at buffalo wild wings and will never be going back. Huge waste of money and time.

Trash. Decent food, and friendly employees, but BWW customer service refuses to credit you for mistakes that they made in your order. Spent several days back and forth with customer service who forgot that customer service is supposed to be customer service. Miserable. Spend your money somewhere else. The food is good but you can eat just as good elsewhere and get treated like you're actually valued. Avoid.

Whenever we go there is no host up front and no sign indicating if we need to seat ourselves. There’s no greeting from anyone for multiple minutes. On multiple occasions. We went in on 9/10 at around 8:40pm and we were informed that seating is only at the bar. How can I enjoy a full meal at the bar, why would it matter where I sit?

Had the Southern Chicken sandwich & fries. Both were very good. We had a big group but our wait staff was very efficient & friendly. We received the food in a timely manner. The only thing that was off-putting and tacky was another wait staff was wearing a political shirt. Not sure why any business would allow something like that cuz it could drive customers away.

Our waitress gave us immediate attention and pleasantly explained the specials. She knew when we were ready to order. The food was fast and fresh.

Came here with co-workers for lunch for our first time. Wonderful service, greeted as we walked in the door, which in a bar, that doesn't normally happen. The food was excellent. Everyone's food (table of 7) came out exactly how we ordered it. We all ordered different menu items and no one had a complaint. Refills were consistent, didn't have to ask or wait. Very impressed with this small dive bar.

Was passing through town and found this place online. We were greeted immediately upon walking in. Although it’s not a large place, it is perfect in every way, it was clean, well decorated, smiles on people’s faces, and menus were easy to read/not complicated. Specials were clearly shown in multiple places. But the star of our show was our server. Sad we didn’t catch her name but she served us tonight (10/14/25, her hair was brunette and longer of the two women) She informed us of the specials for the night, was prompt, read our table for our needs before we ask for them, the food came out piping hot, everything was to order and absolutely delicious. Even the other server was busy doing her side work while taking care of customers. The bathrooms were spotless and smelled amazing. We are still talking about our service and experience. Do not sleep on this place!

Jimmy's Pour House is a lively and storied hangout known for its classic bar food, happy hours, and sports on TV.

The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere where you can feel like family from the moment you arrive.
I decided to take my dad out to lunch here because he said he had not been there in many years. There was a very nice selection on the menu, we both tried something different instead of the usual because there were so many options. There were several lunch specials available as well. The patio seating was nice and there were TVs on the wall if you were planning on catching a particular program. There was a lot of passing traffic, and some individuals had loud vehicles. I don’t think this could be avoided, so it did not change my opinion. The server was great and brought our check and rang us up quickly when my dad was ready to leave. This seems like a great place for brunch with friends, there were many groups getting bloody Mary’s and chatting. on the patio

I worked with Kendra over the phone because we live 4.5 hours away and I was setting up a surprise 35th anniversary supper for my wife. Everything was set up nicely and the waitresses all knew what was going on. I didn't get the name of the gal who was taking care of our group, which I regret, but she did awesome!!! Amongst all our conversations together and the surprise of friends and kids showing up, all went fantastic. Ordering food wasn't pushed as they saw the conversations happening, but then it was like she knew it was the time to take our orders and did great. The food was very good and the service was great!!! We found a new place to stop when in the area. When we got back to our friends house, we talked about the menu mentioning three nights they have of prime rib. So we're gonna make one of those nights work when we come back down. Thank you for all your help pulling off this special surprise night!!!

We all are very aware of the price increase of food and eating out (take out included) is becoming a rare treat, so when I receive burnt food that is inedible I am rightfully upset. This is not the first time I’ve received inedible food from Jimmy’s Pour house , the last time I ordered a chicken apple harvest entree salad (take out) that had slimy wilted lettuce and it was the portion size of a side salad. Not impressed with take out quality. If you wouldn’t serve it in restaurant in front of the people, then don’t expect them to be pleased with it for take out.

I’ve been here a few times but figured I’d finally do a review. The staff here has always been helpful and nice. The place has a friendly atmosphere and is well kept. The menu has a decent selection but is kinda on the smaller side I thought. Prices were fair. Me and my girlfriend started our meal out with loaded nachos (which were loaded waffle fries). These were pretty good! I ended up getting the jambalaya which was a smaller portion than I expected and it was extremely salty. My girlfriend got a tomato basil flat bread that was good. None of the food was knock your socks off delicious, but it was decent. I’d go back here again and would actually order the jambalaya again but tell them easy on the salt. Overall a good experience and a place I’d give a shot.

I've been to Granite City several times. The brunch is good because of the bottomless mimosas, but are slow to refill. The nice things about Granite City is there's always something new to try. The bad part is, I get so excited and then the food is mid. GC is never my first choice and hasn't been a choice at all for some time. But! They have the Bao barbacoa tacos on their menu as a new and limited time option, so I had to try them. The perfect margarita is delicious, but spendy. And of course the Bao tacos were mid, disappointing. The other party got the Tuscan shrimp scampi, it was mid, it was OK. The ambiance is nice, the server was SO slow to return. The barbacoa was flavorless and dry. I've had better bao and overall better food and service. We wanted to leave but the waiter must've gone on break. There are more and much better options in this area, probably won't be back.

I've been here before, and I love the Caesar salad because it's always so cold! I ordered it again today. Just as I was finishing my salad, I thought I had one crouton left. It wasn't crunching, so I spit it out, and it was a piece of cardboard. The manager was shocked himself and gave me a complimentary cup of soup. The service this time was also not good; I'm not too sure if she was new.

We ordered 2 of the Chicken Tuscano for pickup. It was ready when promised, hot, and amazing. The chicken was done just right. The tomatoes were bursting with flavor. It was served with tasty garlic mashed potatoes and crispy green beans. I also want to mention that I NEVER order or eat mashed potatoes in a restaurant. They are typically the instant ones from the box (you know the ones). But these were excellent.

We went to eat because we had a buy one get one free meal. We hadn't been there in several years. I was having trouble bringing the deal up on my phone. The manager came out and helped me and took one meal off. The restaurant was very busy. It was so nice to see large groups of people at a table, there were people of all ages from babies to older people. Everybody was so cheerful, employees and customers. The waitress name Sam was very helpful, very friendly. They were already celebrating Oktoberfest in September, and I tried the chicken sandwich with sauerkraut and cheese topping. It was really good.

Why do restaurants advertise they are open until 10pm? I travel for work and stay at the hotel 3 min across the street. I'm not too familiar with the roads, and Google had me go all the way around the one ways, which basically had me walking in at 9:40. By the time the manager saw me, he offered to get my order in, it was just the shrimp appetizer. I would have taken it to go. But, he said if they could make it, the bar is closed. C'mon you can do better. I had been traveling all day. This is not my first time here. I order the same thing, sometimes to go, sometimes to stay. Maybe on Google you can say we really close at 9:45? The last time I took a carry out during the week, the place was full. A customer shouldn't have to guess what the traffic will be like.

WOW!!!! Excellent choice for something freaky. I loved that everything was fresh and from the area. We decided to order from the seasonal offering and we were not disappointed! Love the chefs creations, which made it a challenge to decide on what to order. Our waitress was fantastic! She explained what the chef was trying to achieve with each dish we were interested in.

I stopped in for a quick dinner before a show downtown. The menu had some tempting options, but I went with a classic cheeseburger and tater tots. The burger was excellent—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. The tots, however, were a major letdown. They were so oversalted and overseasoned I couldn’t get through more than two. My tab for the burger, a side of ranch, two Coors Lights (one discounted for happy hour), and a 20% tip came to $33. For that price, I expected more. The atmosphere felt like an old dive bar that hasn’t put much thought into creating an experience, and the food didn’t measure up to what they’re charging. On the upside, the staff was outstanding. I was greeted right away, and the bartender delivered excellent service, which is why I still left a generous tip. This place has potential, but until the food and atmosphere rise to match the prices, I’d call it a one-and-done stop.

We had the shrimp fajitas and a super burrito. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and seasoned expertly. The super burrito was "pretty darn super" according to the consumer. 10/10 on service too. Shout out to Evan in the kitchen who made this masterpiece.

Fun, festive restaurant that serves a variety of Mexican entrees, beverages and desserts. Fair prices. Friendly service. Would recommend. Restaurant is decorated like a Mexican village with a fountain inside, cozy nook seating and fun details like a donkey statue. Was greeted when I entered, and felt welcomed. Also enjoyed the regional music playing. Complimentary chips and red salsa (mild) are brought to the table. Chips are served warm. Salsa is fresh with rustic notes. Ordered a Mango Daiquiri, it was served chilled with a sweet taste that satisfied my thirst. The Super Nachos fill the plate and easily serve 2 people. Overflowing layers of meat, beans, cheese, guac, black olives and chips. Appreciate that real cheddar cheese is used. Fried Ice Cream is my favorite! The vanilla ice cream is topped with a crunchy sweet layer and cinnamon whipped cream. Great place for casual dining, special celebrations, date night and a night out. Family friendly.

Excellent food! Great burritos and other standard Mexican fare. If some reviewers say it was too bland, just tell them when you order how you want it prepared, spicy or mild! For us, just as they normally do is just great. Good drinks too

Wowww… I can literally say this place has THE best burgers and fries in Saint Cloud, MN. I have been here for a long time and I’m just now eating at this place and it’s AMAZING. Especially if you like good seasonings.. omg the Cajun, buffalo and ranch mix for the fries dipped in the chipotleranch sauce is incredible… if you want a great burger go and check this place out TODAY ps as you can see in my photo the fries are completely gone gone gone that’s how good they were…

A burger for under $10 that you would actually want to eat...now that's a tall order. In my opinion 7 West Tap House has got it!! Granted fries are extra, but it's a very solid 🍔! No complaints. The atmosphere was very nice and the service was crazy fast!!

I had a lunch club going back in 2018-20 and was told I should rate 7 West Tap House. Well, that day has finally come 6 years later. This is a downtown building which is really narrow and deep. We were seated right away, and served even faster. Our Chicken Tacos, Double California Burger. and Jalapeño Beer Cheese Wantons were delicious. If you’re ever in the area, give this restaurant a try, you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy…

This past Saturday, our baseball team stopped in at 7 West Taphouse, and we were genuinely blown away by the experience. Traveling with a big group of kids isn’t always easy, but from the moment we walked in, we felt taken care of. Our server was absolutely incredible. She was kind, patient, and so thoughtful — constantly checking in to make sure drinks were full and everyone had what they needed. She even helped us organize our orders by the boys’ jersey numbers, which made things so much easier for our team. It may seem like a small gesture, but it made a big difference. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect for our group. It’s not often you find a place that’s both fun and family-friendly, but 7 West nailed it. We’re so thankful for the warm hospitality and great service. It turned what could’ve been just a quick team meal into a special memory. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

Stopped in from the convention center! Super easy to pop over from across the street! I haven't been in years and always forget how big it is! I enjoy how you can stop in and make new friends or run in to old ones and you still have great regulars! The menu was more elevated than I thought and I wanted to try everything but decided on the Philly Cheesesteak and waffle fries. Damn! It was the best cheesesteak I've ever had. My husband said besides one in Philly itself this is the best he has had too! The fries were also the perfect crisp! Bartenders were nice and had great recommendations. The beer selection had craft and draft. All over a nice lunch and beer stop as well as a blast from the past!

The bartender was extremely rude. She thought I was underaged from the beginning, asked for only my ID. I am 25. Then proceeded to ask me for my drink order again, only to tell me that she was not going to give me a drink, and she was not going to give me my ID back. Also telling me that I could pick it up from the police station tomorrow. She then ignored me but asked my bf if he still wanted a drink (did not card him). I tried talking to another person only for him to tell me that no one else could help me, only the bartender who took it away. Multiple people working there, all just giving me dirty looks. Finally I go back to the original bartender. I tell her I am not leaving without my ID, she said she could call the police and I told her that I would call them. I waited outside and the police had to give my ID back. I understand procedures but no one would help me and I even offered to pull up my medical records! Never going again ㅤᵕ̈

I understand that smaller restaurants/bars get targeted for sting operations when there are other establishments down town clearly letting in minors to their bars and businesses are afraid of getting fined. My girlfriend on the other hand is 25 and works every day of the week. We walk in to the bar planning to meet friends at 10pm (the beginning of the night & shes was the sober cab planning to have a drink and hang out with us the rest of the night before driving home and having to drive to work at 9am Saturday morning to work all day) and the bartender singles her out asking for her ID. A MN ID and takes it telling us to go pick it up from the police department in the morning which nobody has time to do. She pulls up her medical records showing her date of birth and says she needs her ID back and the bartender as well as everyone else working there refuses to work with us. This is a dive bar. The bartender threatens to call the cops so we call them instead using the non emergency line and we have to wait for the police to come get the ID back for us and she tells the police officer to tell us we can come back in. Regardless of all the other problems with this situation, work with someone. If you have medical records from centracare showing your date of birth give someone their property back and tell them to leave as they will not be served. That wouldve been fine. My girlfriend is 25. Im 28. We are busy people, business owners in the greater St Cloud area and dont have time to go drive to the police station to get ID’s back. We dont want to have a night ruined the moment we step in to the dying downtown St Cloud area. Other than that Howies has always been a great place. Ive been hanging out with friends and family there since 2019. Work with people.

Renowned as one of the top honky-tonks in the nation, Rollie's has earned its reputation among music lovers who appreciate great tunes paired with cold drinks.
Visited a friend who recently moved to Rice, and while we were looking for somewhere to go, another friend from St. Cloud recommended this place. We went on a Saturday night and tried the jerk wings and waffle fries. The wings weren’t spicy—which was fine by me—but they had incredible flavor. The waffle fries were delicious and impressively still crispy even after an hour. The service was top-notch, despite the crowd. We were checked on often and felt genuinely welcome. Platinum FM was playing that night, playing an awesome mix of genres. The venue had a great vibe overall. Highly recommend stopping by!

This charming eatery is not just about pizza; it also offers an inviting atmosphere perfect for families and smaller gatherings. While large parties may need to split up into booths, the modern industrial decor adds to the dining experience.
First time here, and it was amazing. The food was very well done and was so tasty. The custom pies come out like a thin crust and were bashed perfectly. The spinach and artichoke bread were phenomenal. I will say the potato pizza was a little on the bland side. Great choice of potatoes but to large of chunks. This is a great family-friendly spot, and I would 100% recommend it.

I LOVED their pizza when I stopped a few months ago so when I was craving a hot Italian sandwich I definitely wanted to get one from here. Overall the sandwich was really really good, especially the bread. But it was soo small 😭 I feel a tiny bit cheated to have paid $14 for an 8in sub with this amount of meat on it. The staff was great and super friendly. And they had my food ready in the time they said. So again it was really good, it just felt lacking for the price of the sandwich.

The restaurant looks like it's designed to be a modern industrial style environment. Accommodating families and parties that are traveling. Not much room for large parties, unless there's like one at a time - or if your party is willing to sit separately in booths. Default crust is thin crust - no stuffed crust is available. At least not at this location at the time of my visit. The waitress was very accommodating and helpful. I have two young children and she was very willing to help me figure out the menu for them & myself. We got a thick crust pizza. It has a pleasant garlic flavor & the toppings were adequate. It was relatively noisy even though there were very few people in the restaurant at the time. I don't know what it sounds like when it's busy in there; the restaurant itself had a decent amount of noise. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good service and adequate food!

This is a great Mediterranean restaurant, with excellent food and service. My gyro plate was absolutely delicious! It was very quiet when we were there, so check this place out! They need to show you how great they are, and you'll definitely enjoy it!

Our go to fancy date-night place. Dinners are always memorable and special here. Make sure to grab reservations if it’s a holiday or certain nights.

We went to Cafe Renaissance to celebrate our wedding anniversary. My husband ordered the seafood trio, and I ordered the lamb and beef gyro, lamb souvlaki, and salmon combo. The seafood trio was amazing, but the combo and the soup were just okay, in my opinion. The bread appetizers were good. The palate cleanser was delicious. I love the beautiful food plating. When we went to a fancy restaurant in the city, the server would pull a chair to help me sit down. I feel like it's just a small gesture, but it increases the fanciness of the restaurant. It made me feel like I was being treated like a queen. I love the fancy atmosphere of the restaurant. We didn't have to wait long for our food, which was great. I guess I came with some kind of expectation, but I just felt underwhelmed in terms of food flavor and service.

This place is very very romantic and the atmosphere is top notch, a real treat for date night. The prices are pretty high and sometimes a bit much so it isn’t a regular spot for us… however what you pay feels appropriate usually because of the environment and the service level you get. Pretty good food here and everything comes out paced very well and there are never any issues any time we have gone. Excellent professional service here and just a good looking impressive spot. Love that we have this place for special occasions.

This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the overall vibe of the place is very relaxing - the pianist and horn player tonight were very good! Food is not cheap, but for the ambiance and the quality of the meal, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better date night spot in the St Cloud area. Looking forward to our 3rd visit.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary dinner here and enjoyed everything we ordered. The Lamb appetizer was cooked perfectly. We had both the French onion soup and the seafood chowder. The french onion was the best french onion I have ever had! I wish I had the recipe! Our entrees were both amazing. Service was great and the atmosphere was romantic. Ordered two meals with an appetizer and a bottle of wine and spent about $200 total. Definitely worth it!

The salad was a small plate of lettuce with two cherry tomatoes and two thin slices of cucumber. The Chicken Penne chicken was over cooked and tough for $27. I’ve eaten here numerous times before and enjoyed it. It should be better for what they charge. Won’t be back.

It was my first visit but definitely not my last. The food was AWESOME. The service was terrific. I absolutely loved the decor. It reminded me of the restaurants from earlier days like The Persian, Ivan's In The Park.

Lincoln Depot is a delightful spot that perfectly combines a warm atmosphere with exceptional dining. Known for its friendly and attentive staff, this establishment ensures every guest feels right at home. The food here is consistently fresh and delicious, making it a favorite among locals. Whether you're stopping by for a drink or indulging in their tasty wings and crispy fries, you can expect quality service in a clean environment. While the lighting may be dimmer than some prefer, it adds to the cozy bar vibe that patrons love.
Stopped for a drink and some food. Troy is an excellent bartender who makes the customer feel at home. He's very attentive and keeps things clean and tidy. Very knowledgeable about what they have to offer both drinks and food. The wings were delicious, hot, and tender; cooked to perfection. The fries while they are the skinny ones were hot and crispy with not too much salt. The prices were very good as well. This is a well run business and one we look forward to visiting often.

I had a Taco Wrap and waffle fries after a long day at work. Emily was my server and wore a smile the whole time I was there. The food was so good, I didn't even have time to take a picture. I wished I'd have had a few more fries with my wrap, but the flavor more than made up for the portion size and I still left full and satisfied.

Decent bar food, friendly, attentive server and bartender, fun atmosphere (when karaoke is happening) just wish the bums on the street would stop hanging out around the entrances asking for stuff. Not much they can do about it since the Lincoln center is within throwing distance. Normally a fun time is had here. Great regulars, no trouble inside with folks.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lincoln Depot Lincoln Depot has been a fantastic partner for Northern Transcon Railcams - Otter Tail Channel (@NTR-OTC) over the past few years. They host one of our cameras on the Staples Sub Server, and their contribution has been instrumental in our efforts. What truly stands out about Lincoln Depot is their exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly and inviting, and the food is consistently excellent. I find myself looking forward to any opportunity to stop by and enjoy a meal there. From hearty breakfasts to satisfying lunches and dinners, every dish I've tried has been top-notch. The friendly and professional staff ensure that every visit is a positive experience, going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. Lincoln Depot has become a favorite spot, not just for the quality of their food but also for the wonderful service they provide. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by Lincoln Depot for a memorable meal.

You guys are very rude. I come there quite often by a couple drinks. I paid $85 for two drinks and three different orders of wings. I pacifically asked for my wings to be extra extra crispy. I get home and my wings are not extra extra crispy is a little still slimy I called and the lady was very rude and she hung the phone out. It’s OK I won’t come there and spend no more of my money being part of St. Cloud and part of this community. It really sucks I really don’t even go to bars, but I thought this was a nice one. Whoever the SARAH chick or whatever her name is with a S thank you very much for showing me with St. Cloud really has to offer for spending hard earned money in your establishment never again

Had the "Smasher" with the side house salad. 11oz beef patty with mashed potatoes and gravy on top. Really enjoyed the seasoning added to the burger. Reminded me of the seasoning I add to my Smoky Bacon Burgers. They nailed this dish. Even the gravy. Nicely done.

They didn't have steak? What the hell 4 star joint has 4 stars and no steak. The Philly awful. My girl approved of the soup tomato like stuff that I agree was OK. The young lady in our group tried pawn off her favorite food. I didn't bother getting her opinion. 91 bucks? What a waste of money.
