    Love it. My favorite bar in Shakopee. I don't know why Turtles is so popular when you wait twenty minutes for a bartender...

    Good Happy Hour, 2 for 1 on beers. The place is friendly and strictly a watering hole. Never been unhappy at Arnie's.

    This is bbq heaven! First...you need to know I'm a bbq snob. I'm very picky about flavors,…read moretenderness, smokiness, etc. Mr Pigs delivers! We had ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and sausage. All of it was delicious! The brisket was extraordinarily tender. The sausage had a delicious kick to it and was juicy. The pulled pork had a wonderful smokiness to it and didn't need any bbq sauce. The restaurant itself is very clean and everyone was very friendly. Oh...and the Diet Coke was great! We will be back! Chef's kiss!

    I have been wanting to try this place since I heard they opened. I went tonight with my son because…read morewe both love BBQ. We each got a two meat combo plate. He got one that was pulled pork and brisket with sweet potato fries. I got pork ribs and brisket with Mac and cheese. We also ordered two jalapeño cheddar sausage links to share. We also ordered smoked chicken wings in buffalo sauce for an appetizer. The wing are awesome they had just enough smoke and crisp to make them very flavorful and the right amount of sauce. The brisket was great. I think the slices were from where the the flat and point meet. The ribs were seasoned well and had a good smoke ring. The only thing I might say was lacking for me is they were fall off the bone. I like mine to have a little tug to where I can take a bite and the meat doesn't all come away. The Mac and cheese for me was missing something maybe a little smoke or garlic. My son said the pulled pork was a little too chewy and the fat really hadn't melted into the meat. He was surprised to taste the brown sugar on the sweet potato fries which he said were ok. The jalapeño and cheddar sausage was good and it was cooked with just the right amount of snap to the casing. They had some good side options like coleslaw, mashed potatoes, regular and sweet potato fries, Mac and cheese and baked beans also. I would have liked to been able to order potato salad but not a deal breaker. Maybe another sausage option is like a Texas style hot link. Our server Nic S. was awesome always checking in and making sure that food was good and if we needed anything. We went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy. We came towards the end of happy hour also. The parking lot is shared by two other popular restaurants so parking was a little difficult but not bad. They could not use more spots as all three looked busy. The noise was normal and the decor was nice. Will definitely be back.

I think it was perfect during happy hour and then could turn off when the dancing started. Food: The jerk chicken egg rolls were huge and had great flavor. Also enjoyed the little sliders. The meat on the skewers was a super weird texture like almost a mushy bite maybe it was like a vegan meat I wasn't sure. The service at the bar was a bit slow at times there was two back there but the staff worked really hard at the end as the party went late and the staff was awesome cleaning up around us til the last minute so thanks for that!!! I liked the rum punch I had and the back space looked small but still fit a Photo Booth, the food table and dj table

We went back today and while it was still good, definitely wasn't as good as it was last time. The jerk chicken plate removed the beans, changed the rice, and got rid of the sauce so it wasn't as good though it was a bit less dry than last time. They also removed the Ropa Vieja from the menu which was our favorite. My husband had the Cuban sandwich and was not impressed. The fries with it were good. The drinks were still great. Service was friendly but slow (drinks, food, and waitress all slow). Another in our party got the blackened salmon which was really good. Unfortunately, I was so nervous they would remove or change the menu to be worse, which is a common theme I've noticed with 4 different restaurants by these owners now, so I was so bummed to see that's exactly what happened. Such a cool vibe, great drinks, and a really cool new patio - but the food needs a bit of work - bring back the Ropa Vieja and the better jerk chicken!

    Continually amazing!…read more We stopped in here the other night for the tried and true fish and chips. O'Brien's Public House always has some of the best fish... however you like it. My husband got the fish tacos for the first time and loved them.. It was a really healthy portion and even had some leftovers. I stuck with my favorite, the cod & chips,these are always amazing! Our server was very friendly and it was a pretty slow night but great service overall. Can't wait to stop back again and enjoy even more food!

    I live in Shakopee and have gone to this pub many times. the food is o.k. not wonderful but…read moreadequate. However today has caused me to give O'Brien's one star and believe me if it were possible I'd give them -1. I was supposed to meet six of my friends here today for St Patrick's Day. Our car got struck and we did not arrive until 1 1/2 hours late. We were so late that we would have just had a drink had we known there was a time limit on the table BUT our waitress, Addison 8, did not mention this and took our meal order leisurely. Just after we were served she announced to the table that we all had to leave in 15 minutes. I said I assumed it did not apply to us as we had not even started to eat. she told us it applied to all of us. She told us if I was not happy about this I could speak to the Manager. I told her I would like to. then she said I could speak to her instead but I told her I wanted to speak to the Manager. No Manager ever materialized. I probably will never go to this restaurant again. I know times are tough and I don't object to time limits on tables BUT if a customer is very late the least a server should do is let them know there is a very limited time left for them to eat BEFORE they order $70 worth of food and drinks. I will be sure to mention this matter to my friends and as I have stated i will make sure I give my other regular restaurants the business I gave O'Briens. '

    Great food, great service, there's not much I would change!…read more Mr. Pig Stuff recently moved into a new location and I have to begin by saying, their new space is beautiful. It's gives off a modern whiskey house/southern rustic vibe. Plenty of indoor seating and a cute patio with an indoor/outdoor bar top. I have eaten here 3 times in the past few months and my experience has been the same each time, wonderful! My two favorite meals are the Smoked Chicken Wings and The Pile sandwich. The chicken wings: I'm the type to always sauce up any wing I get. Pig Stuff's wings will come out dry rubbed with your sauce in the side. At first I was hesitant but now I know why! Their dry rub is fantastic! The flavors are Smokey, savory, and salty - easily eaten on their own. The meat is very juicy and falls off of the bone! (8.5/10) The Pile: this is a sandwich consisting of brisket, pulled pork, Mac & cheese, and coleslaw. It's a monster of a sandwich and could definitely make a mess but OMG it is tasty! The sandwich comes with BQQ sauce, but who needs it when you have the juiciness of the pork, smokiness of the brisket, creaminess of the Mac & cheese, and the tang of coleslaw! It's almost hard not to finish this sandwich. (9/10) Another favorite are their fries. Fresh, crispy, and well seasoned. You can also get them as garlic parm fries where they drizzle their wing sauce across the top - YUM. (8/10) Lastly, the service here has always been impeccable. You're greeted with a smile by everyone. I have yet to meet a server or bartender that wasnt engaging. Looking forward to coming back around!
