It's taken years since I left town to finally make it back here under the (not so) new ownership…read more I've heard such good things and so when we found ourselves with an open afternoon, we stopped by for dinner. The ambiance is casual with lots of fun things to examine on the walls - some historic, some new. We started with the Brussels sprouts, loaded with bacon and Gouda cheese. These were a huge hit and we cleared the entire plate. I ordered the Sheely burger with truffle fries and definitely ate beyond capacity. The Mr. ordered the ribeye special and it came out medium rare just as he likes. He ate every bite and when he saw that you could buy a round for the staff for $10, proceeded to do so. He appreciates a perfect steak. Can't wait to come back and try some other items! *NOTE: CASH ONLY*

When we first walked in we were greeted by two women who seemed frazzled and then annoyed that we had a large group. A few in our group ordered the special, prime rib, which was lacking flavor. The truffle fries also lack flavor. Overall, the food is not great and expensive. But the ambience is very cool. Would love to see improvements in the food quality as this place is very neat.

We went there for veggie burgers on our long drive back to the Twin Cities. They do things our favorite way: you can get most styles with your choice of four patties, and one of them veggie, for a custom experience. The veggie one is a Gardenburger, not as cool as a home made one, which tempted me to drop a star. However, given what they are, a bar and grill, expectations should be tempered. For what they do, it is top notch. Service was wonderful. It was clean and low-key inside. Food was very good all around. We had the jerk style and Cajun style burgers. The jerk was very mild and had some intriguing spice in it that I really liked (cloves or nutmeg?). (Contrary to popular belief, the jerk is not named after me.) The Cajun was mild, but more spicy. The pub fries that we added to one were decent and the side salad upgrade with the other really hit the spot. The star of the show was the Buffalo chips appetizer: perfectly prepared crisps with light drizzle of sauce and bleu cheese. Less is more and they nailed it! Since we were driving and felt weary already, we didn't try their good selection of tap beers. I don't know if they have the best burgers in town, but we would come back for sure!

Another delicious burger and fries. Service was just ok. Drank a lazy monk, can't go wrong.read more

Spent my first time at the lakely with my two sons, and my husband. I never leave reviews on…read moreplaces but i felt obligated to make a yelp account to comment on my experience. I believe me and my family stopped in on a thursday night, And let me say the environment was beautiful, Felt like such an enticing place to sit in. While we sat ourselves it only seemed as if there was one server for a large variety of tables, Nonetheless our server approached us very calmly and didn't seem like he was overwhelmed at all, It was the type of greeting he looked more excited to see us, then we were to be there. He introduced himself (I forgot his name but he was fantastic so shame on me.) And asked us how we were doing and what brought us out, While we chatted for what felt like 5 minutes we got into an entire conversation about our plans, and us passing through. While it felt like great service it did start to change, Both of my younger sons have learning disabilities hindering their social ability and not doing well with strangers. Now our server definetly used social ques to pick up on this and we could tell. After he took our drink orders he came back and when i tell you I have never seen my sons treated the way he treated them, I mean it. He immediately engaged with them in any sort of conversation he could get, He pointed out their matching shirts, expressing interest in pokemon, and showed them his pokemon go without them replying with much of anything. After this it was game over, It has been an incredibly long time sense i've seen my boys talk with a new person how they did, They seemed excited, They were laughing, and the nervousness they feel in these situations was clearly non existent. It felt absolutely amazing to see our server just treat them like any other kids, Like any other human, Not only did he give us a fantastic time he gave our boys a memory that they left with, Feelings that they got to leave with. So for the service, it was amazing, there isn't another word to address it. Now what could've been better? The music was loud, We were unknowing that music would play so that's on us, But it was good if that's your type of space. The food was high quality, again just nothing for us as to be fair we are picky eaters, However presentation was great, And didn't break the bank for a quick bite. However keep in mind it isn't a "Quick bite" The food took longer then expected to come out, Which makes sense as it was noted to us that it is a small kitchen, again not their fault, just not what we have in mind. Overall our experience was a 10/10 For the service, While if it wasn't for that it was a 6/10, Just because it wasn't necessarily our "Vibe". I don't do reviews and probably never will again, But I hoped that people would read this in its entirety to see that this place is worth your time. Oh, And P.S. The cocktails are worth the trip alone.

It always seems like there is a really relaxed vibe and the low lighting and heated bar really add to this experience. I used to think that The Abbey was just a bar (by no means a bad thing!) but I stopped in for lunch and had a spectacular pulled pork sandwich a few days ago. Dare I say it... The best pulled pork sandwich in downtown Menomonie?! The sauce sounds like it would be weird because there is mustard in it but I can confirm that it is delicious and really makes the sandwich. Props to The Abbey for having a limited menu and having a few really good dishes instead of a bunch of average bar food. Apart from the atmosphere, food and staff there are really good drink specials at The Abbey as well! Every day there is a near unbearable special. When school is in session these deals are definitely taken advantage of by the Stout students. If I had to credit this place for just one thing it would be that the building itself is such a relaxing place. No flashing lights, no overly loud music and no amateur DJ screaming at the top of their lungs like other bars in Menomonie. Even yet, if inside is a little too much you can always step out onto the patio. If you're looking for a relaxed cocktail in Menomonie this is your place.
