This is for Lenten fish fry: ATMOSPHERE - This is one of the…read morebiggest VFWs I've been to. There's a large bar area, then in an adjoining room is a dinning space with another bar. It's very patriotic as you might imagine. There were lots of kids around, and everyone knew each other, which was lovely except there was a "you don't belong" attitude by some. In particular, the server in the bar in the dinning area ignored my two girlfriends to the point of taking an order from a gentleman standing BEHIND them. Thankfully the gentleman called her on it, and made her take their order. And I'm glad to say that was the only person who was openly rude. In fact, the people at the fish fry were all super friendly. FISH - The set up here is really great. You wait in line to pay, then the line becomes a line for the buffet. It's great to be able to fill up your own plate. The buffet table had baked beans, macaroni & cheese, dinner rolls, boiled potatoes with parsley, cole slaw, and of course, fish. A new serving of freshly fried fish came out every few minutes to replenish the buffet table. The fish had a breading type of batter (rather than a light fluffy batter.) It was light and flakey, hot and crispy, it was wonderful. COST - $10, this was a steal! EXTRAS - When we were there former Gov. Pawlenty and his family showed up. Plus or negative, that's your call.

Everyone raves about their Lenten Friday fish fries (we used to volunteer with or scout troop to…read morehelp bus tables), but fish has never been something I enjoy. We usually go with my parents after church on Saturdays. Most of the tables in the bar area are high top, and we have a 9-month old, so that can be difficult if all the lower tables are taken. But they do have high chairs available that work fine at the lower tables. Their food is always good, affordable, and out to your table quick. If it's crazy-busy with people ordering food, it might take a while, since I've never seen more than one cook in their small kitchen (they have another one that gets used for fish fries), but we've never had a problem, since most people are just ordering drinks. They only part that's a bit of a bummer for us, is that if you order a pop (the hubbs and I don't usually order alcoholic beverages), it comes in a small solo cup, and you have to pay for a refill (I'm sure that's part of being a bar). We each typically order a water and a pop right away, then we don't go thirsty or have to pay for another small pop.

This review is based on pre-COVID when we could still go in person. I have to start out by saying…read morethis is such a wonderful organization/establishment for Veterans to use. I'm so thankful Vet Centers exist to provide support for those that need it (or want it.) The first time I went I was a bit confused on where the location was, I ended up turning prematurely into the wrong parking lot. Once I discovered my error and where the building was - I was nervous about finding the Vet Center inside the building but it was clearly marked - it's the door slightly to the left yet right in front of you when you walk in. For confidentiality sake, I won't list all of the wonderful people I would encounter when I would go in person. When you walk in you're greeted by someone at the desk and the smell of gentle essential oils. There are guitar classes offered and a bunch of other classes that I can't recall but will update this review once I get the info. They have a break area near the center with water available (and snacks poss. for purchase if I remember?) I think there is popcorn as well. The rooms are inviting and cozy to help make you feel comfortable. I really enjoy the provider that was assigned to me. I recommend this place to other veterans or those currently serving. Utilize the resources available to you, it's worth it. You're not alone and don't have to suffer in silence, help is available for you. Word is that the Brooklyn Park Vet Center will be relocating soon, I'm not sure when or where, but a heads up to others looking to come to this location.

First time here. I never really knew about this rodeo until I was bombarded with facebook posts…read moreabout it. We went Sunday night the last night. Parking attendants direct you to a spot. Online tickets were $24 each and were scanned from your phone at entrance. There were vendors selling jewelry, cowboy hats, clothes, pocket knives, etc. I bought 2 large hair barrettes that have cow hide on them. They are for ponytails. I had a cheeseburger and ate half the bun. Also bought 2 waters. There was saddle bronc riding and bareback riding on horses, barrel racing, steer roping, team roping, and my favorite bull riding at the end. The VIP section was sold out but it appears you can stand right above the saddle bronc, bareback riding and bull riding. There was a prayer, military flag tribute, national anthem and singing of God bless America. If that offends you, you can stay home. I can't wait to go next year.

They offer shuttles for transportation from surrounding bars- I suggest doing this- the bus parks near the exit road and has first go to leave. 2.

Make sure when you're leaving/coming/going/ stop at the local small businesses. i felt the value of watching these talented cowboys was worth the price of admission. The Bull riding happens VERY QUICKLY so make sure you're in your seat before it happens when they say 8 seconds, they really mean it.
