Great place with well prepared burgers. Kitchen staff does excellent work. Wide selection of beers, ales and everything in between on tap. If you are in the area it is definitely worth stopping by.

Our absolute favorite restaurant! The Plain Jane taco and queso dip are my absolute favorites—they never disappoint! The food is always amazing, and the atmosphere feels like home. You can tell they really care about their customers, and that’s why we keep coming back. Highly recommend!

I only have one complaint: the patio is so great, but the indoor space smells SOOOO good. They need to find a way for people to enjoy the savory smoked meat smells where they can also enjoy the sunlight and yard games. Seriously though, we were very pleased with our lunchtime visit. Kid’s meals were large and only 5. My wife and I each had an entree for about 10. The entrees are on the smaller size.

Ryan, the bartender, suggested I try the combo meal from the weekend smokehouse menu. Hesitated but glad I took the suggestion. Honey crisp slaw is very fresh & slightly creamy. Crunchy & healthy. No words to describe the cornbread-buttery crunchy on the edges. Beyond delicious. Brisket is tender & delicious. Hot link has the right amount of bite & not fatty. More than I’d spend for dinner but this is actually two dinners. Great suggestion!!

Great place to watch a Vikings game. All-day food and drink specials, great tap beer selection, and a lot of high quality TV's. But don't expect a rowdy crowd, a relaxed viewing experience! Bartender gave great, attentive, friendly service. Had the burger and beer special for 10.99. Juicy and delicious! My partner had the beer and taco special. Tasty! Recommend this neighborhood bar.

We were very impressed that a barbeque place/grilled/sports bar had (delicious) vegetarian options! My partner got the smoked squash tacos and they were AMAZING! As was the salsa that came with it, which complimented the tacos well. I had the Thursday night special pig and a swig which was a very good barbecue pulled pork sandwich with fries and a Coors light for 9.99. For our starter we got the crispy cheese which are basically oversized but delicious mozzarella sticks with an absolutely killer chile IPA sauce. It's clear that these were house made and not something from the freezer. Good service with a smile and a solid value! We'll be back!
