Now for the service. I believe her name is Jessie? She is a server there with dark hair, usually wears a bandana or beanie with hair in side ponies. She is so rude! I am always a nice person and she has visibly rolled her eyes, pursed her lips and made my interactions with her very uncomfortable and unprofessional. I do not know how the owner has kept her on all these years. I cannot be the only one who has thought of her as being very rude. She is rude in resteraunt and when I pick up orders as well!

You can have your chicken grilled or fried and I chose grilled. It comes with a warmed breadstick. All the ingredients were fresh. It was a nice lighter meal and a good portion size. We ended the meal with the chocolate lava cake with ice cream. It was quite tasty and presented well. Very pretty. Our server was amazing. She was so efficient and every request was done with urgency. So much energy. All the staff were welcoming. One gentleman had his water glass slip off the table and everyone came to help clean it up quickly. So thankful the Copper Nickel is open on Tue as so many other restaurants are often closed Mon and Tue in the area.

I have no idea how to get them national recognition so one of those roaming restaurant reviewers checks them out, but they should. SO GOOD. The fries are the best, too!

Went to Eveleth for grandkid's hockey tournament. Decided to have dinner at BoomTown. We had French…read moreonion soup for a starter. Was a decent broth with plenty of onion, and cheese. I had the shrimp dinner and couldn't believe how good the shrimp was. Crispy on the outside, shrimp was tender and not overcooked! Side salad was fancy too. Also had the bacon Mac as a side. Was not as impressed with that however. Surprised what you can find in a Northern Minnesota range town.

I visited BoomTown this evening for their Taco Tuesday. I ordered the Boom Boom Pulled Pork tacos…read more I have had these many time before, but tonight they were over the top spicy. I talked to the table next to me who agreed, in fact like me the lady at that table ate almost two of her tacos before she couldn't handle it any more. I told them I was having the same difficulty. One waiter said the tacos should be more "sweet" not spicy. Our waitress said others had complained today regarding the spiciness too. I stopped eating my tacos, chips and salsa, since I couldn't identify where the spice was coming from. When I asked my waitress, who had admitted others were complaining, about a discount since I couldn't finish my food since the heat kept building in my mouth. She stated I couldn't get a discount since it was Taco Tuesday so the food was already discounted. Not pleased. To add insult to injury the lady at the table next to me made the same complaint and she was offered new food. I don't know if it was because her husband made the complaint on her behalf, and I was a table of one? Very disappointed in service and food. Sadly I drove by Thirsty Moose who has amazing food, but picked Boomtown tonight. Regretting that decision.

I chose the Greek salad, one of my favs, and it was a very generous portion full of cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives and feta cheese, oh and a bit of lettuce - my kind of salad. Very good. Wish I would have remembered to ask for dressing on the side as it was quite covered but still good. The waitstaff was 2 people for the whole restaurant so they were super busy, especially with a couple large tables but they were friendly, warned it could be a bit of a wait and in the end, it was faster than many other restaurants we had been to. No worries there. They did a great job.

The fettuccine Alfredo was bland, the soup could have bought at Panera, and the fries and Cesar salad is nothing to write home about. The service was excellent!

Vi's ended up being our favorite stop. We ordered a Sauerkraut Pizza for the first time, and it blew us away! The tangy Kraut with the rich cheese and perfectly greasy, flavorful crust was everything you want in a classic dive-style pizza. The cheese was great quality, the crust had just the right consistency, and the whole thing hit the spot after a long day outdoors. We also grabbed an order of onion rings, it was a massive portion, perfectly crispy! It was honestly shocking to find this level of quality so far away from the city. We sat at the bar with a friendly bartender and chatted with some locals playing pull tabs, which just added to the charm. Great food, great people, and exactly the kind of small-town gem you hope to stumble into while exploring.
