Truly the best part of my experience in MN. The nachos are great, the burger is cooked perfectly, but those fries! Oh man so good. The servers and bartenders are so friendly. I truly feel like I am leaving my home. Meeting different people from the area makes me want to come back so soon. Great music and the atmosphere was first class. Can't wait to come back from Texas! read more

Brickyard is your typical bar and grill. We started with loaded nachos that were good. We tried two different burgers, I liked the classic California burger. Others in our party got flatbreads, one of them got the incorrect one, but the waitress quickly noticed and made a new one and also didn't charge us for it. read more

Went there once a few years ago on the way to our cabin. I remember having to wait forever to get served even though they weren't busy. The food was meh.... However, after seeing this POS above their restaurant recently, I will never go back. Don't give racists your money. read more

Brickyard Bar & Grill - A Racist Homophobic POS - American Near Me - Clear Lake, Minnesota

If you're looking for a good burger this is the place to go. Fresh, hand pattied burgers and great service. We thought we were walking into a tourist trap but turns out it was really good and not touristy at all. read more

Brickyard Bar & Grill - Cheeseburger, waffle fries, seasoned sour cream. - American Near Me - Clear Lake, Minnesota

The food service was fine. Ordered their broasted chicken as did my wife. The chicken was tasty and came to our table hot, moist and breaded. ( I wish someone would serve broasted chicken without the breading) . The seasonal veggies were bland but the French fries were hot and flavorful. A nice selection of beer. The inside of the bar is very nice and homey.... read more

Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Ambiance good. Food took 30 min though and were not that busy. read more

I've been here several times over the years, with my most recent visit last week. The location is conveniently located off HWY 10. The food is OK; nothing memorable, but expected bar food. I had the Cashew Chicken Salad, I found the salad toppings sparse, and the dressing overly sweet. There was an over abundance of iceberg lettuce, and the salad greens : other ingredients ratio was off (too much greens, not enough salad toppings such as mandarin, cashews, etc). My table mate had the Coconut Chicken Tenders with Tater Tots, which was generous in size and tasted great. The service was fairly good, which is an improvement. My one criticism of this joint in the past was that the servers were inattentive and slow, so it seems to have improved in that regard (at least on my most recent visit). read more

Under new ownership. The food was super generous in quality and quality was impressive

Fantastic service! The walleye fingers were perfect. Also had the Buffalo wrap that was great and a cup of beer cheese soup. The environment was clean and not too loud. I will definitely be stopping by on my way north from now on! read more

We were passing through town trying to get home from a camping weekend up in Lake Itasca. We were hungry and traffic was slow and frustrating. We decided this are was a good place to look for something to eat. We saw this place, it looked decent and occupied so it looked like a decent place to try. We pulled in and i pull up Yelp. Not too much going on but worth a try. I liked the patriotic theme of this place. Being a veteran, I like to see that. I was greeted by a crabby lady that asked me if i wanted a seat. I noticed they had a large bar area and an even larger dining room. We were looking for for a more relaxed, low-key lunch. The place looked to be fairly clean. There seemed to be local business which is a sign of a place the locals like to go to. They even had a cute little patio on the back overlooking the river. I took photos of the menu for your viewing pleasure. They have a large selection of items. I was greeted by an older lady and with the entire dining room open, she throws menus down on the table closest to the door and the hostess stand near some kiddie arcade games. I wanted something more quiet and not in the middle of the entryway, I asked to move to a table farther back and she said "fine" and walked away. I moved myself, the silverware and the menus while my wife was in the bathroom from the long drive. I felt that was pretty rude. I was hoping she wasn't our server and thankfully she wasn't. My wife and I eat multiple small meals a day and we also split meals if they seem to be too large or not the healthier items we normally try to stick to. Sometimes bar food is all greasy and deep fried. We settled on a french dip with cheese and mushrooms. It was a decent sandwich, nothing crazy, just as expected. The service was spotty, we finished, no drink refills (water) and we were waiting for the bill. I hate to ask but our young waitress stopped by to see how things were and I asked for the bill, we were done. She said that she had to run food out before getting the bill for us, of course, I said okay. It must have been a lot of food or she may have forgotten for a bit. We finally got it and I handed her my card right away to get going. We still had a drive ahead of us. This place is decent but not raving. I would like to try again. Maybe next time, on the patio. read more

See all

was there on Friday 6-23-23 around 4pm food and service was real good Owner of the place (a big fat guy) was behind the bar taking to his buddies all the while we were there letting the Fbomb fly a dozen times or more when there were young children at tables that could here him plane as day. Don't bring your children here read more

I eat here more than I'd like to admit. It's time to refresh the menu with some refreshing summer salads! Strawberries are in season, how about a spinach and strawberry salad, topped with Brie and some honey roasted almonds, and add a vinaigrette dressing? Or bring back the cashew chicken salad! People enjoy salads in the summer.. light and refreshing! read more

Friendly staff, restaurant is neat and clean. Beer cheese soup is excellent. Had a basic bacon cheeseburger that was perfectly prepared. I usually stop by here on the way north for fishing trips. Food is always great! read more

Food is always good. The service is awesome. The new owner(s) are making additions the best one is the addition to the beer taps for a more a selection. read more

Pleasantly surprised, as they only had 3 stars. We just had quite the yummy lunch! The Bloody Mary's were very good too! They have your choice of a Ruben or a Rachel, yay for them! My husband chose the Rachel. I had a grilled chicken artichoke melt. How could I not? It had spinach artichoke dip on it! So glad we stopped on our way through. read more

This is your typical "divey" bar near Crosby Minnesota. Plenty of parking, and a cabin-like updated interior with pull tabs, TVs, plenty of seating, and a nice deck overlooking a lake. The beer list is typical - your big breweries and a few other rotations, I'd like to see more of a true IPA vs all the lagers and lights. The burger was decent, the chicken tenders were so-so. So use common sense when you come here for food - stick to the typical burgers and sandwiches and bar food. But we were hungry and even though we wouldn't seek out the food, it was a good value - large portions at a fair price. read more

Awesome little find! The food is delicious and the pricing is reasonable. In fact, I've already gone back 3 more times! The service is fast and efficient. I've never had to wait long to be seated or to get my food. The pork chop was incredible. Perfectly cooked, juicy, flavorful. Everything always seems to be fresh. If I lived closer I could definitely see this place being my local watering hole. Perfect for a drink after work or for dinner. Yes, I will be back! read more

Amazing food and super friendly staff I'm a travel EMT for the ERs and best bar food in town definitely won't be disappointed with service or the food :) read more

Good service clean nice atmosphere food falls short ordered 2 of there house specially items had a few bites of each left the rest. read more

Brickyard Bar & Grill - Fiesta quesadilla no cheez light vegi. Lots of chicken pretty plate - American Near Me - Clear Lake, Minnesota

Nice, clean bar/restaurant. Good food and VERY efficient and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I've picked up to go orders here a few times. It's been hit and miss. Service is always friendly when I stop in. It's not my first choice, but it's not my last either. read more

We stop here frequently on our way up north. The food is decent and they are always accommodating to my son's nut allergies. It's always steady with people but never crazy crowded. I would suggest staying away from the burger menu as they are ok but nothing more delicious than anywhere else. Their kids chicken fingers are surprisingly awesome and as an adult I like the crunchy breading on them. My 7 year old said they were surprisingly delicious! read more

Came for dinner on a Sunday evening. Pretty standard for a bar and grill. Ordered a grilled chicken salad. Nothing spectacular. Iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing. Personally I think it's overpriced. Definitely the place you come to just to get some drinks, not to eat. read more

We live in the area and had heard the food was good so we had been looking for an opportunity to stop in. We got that opportunity on Saturday afternoon on our way back from St. Cloud. We walked in about 4:50 and got seated right away by the hostess who left us with menus and she said a waitress would be right with us. We took about 5 to 7 minutes to look over the menus and decided on what we wanted. No waitress yet. Waited another 10 minutes without anyone coming to table. Tried to get two different waitresses attention and was ignored. Fifteen minutes after being seated and no service (not even water), we got up and walked out the front door. There was no hostess or manager to talk with on the way out. Not worth the frustration. There are plenty of quality bar and grills in the area that know what customer service means! read more

I have been here many times, and the food always comes out hot. The portions are always larger than I need, so you never leave hungry. Normally, I get their broasted chicken, and that stuff is the goods (that's the opposite of the bads). Today I got the chicken tortalinni. While this place is the antithesis of a fancy Italian joint, it was pretty good. Of course, it came out really hot, and there was more than I could eat. My friend got the all-you-can-eat mystery fish special. We asked what the mystery fish is, and we were told "Alaskan Pollock." I probably spelled that wrong ... Anyway, the mystery fish was breaded and in the shape of an actual fish - forked tail and all. Said mystery fish was average. "It is what it is" was another quote about the mystery fish. Anyway, this place is always clean, and they just got new flat-screen TVs. And the lemonade was pretty good. read more

Nancy S. is totally wrong. Stopped here to watch the Viking game on vacationg. Great service and great food. The club sandwich was spot on and the waffle fries were great. Really enjoyed my time here! read more

Great burgers good service plenty to do for kids and adults. What some will say is slower than expected service you get what you pay and wait for. It did not take long and small wait is worth it when a standard burger can fill a grown man and barely squeeze onion rings in. read more

This place has usually been very good. However, this evening it was very busy and under staffed. Unknowingly it was bingo night. My Philly was way over done as well as the cheese on the sandwich. The service was very slow. read more

My mom orders their broasted chicken here every week and loves it. We loved their cheese curds, too, and kept ordering more. My boyfriend ordered a London Broil and thought it was good (it was cooked to the correct temperature, too). I ordered a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich and it was very lackluster, almost no marinara sauce and blah chicken; however, when we stopped in there a few days later and spoke to the manager, she gave us $5 off our order that day and also told the kitchen staff about it so they would correct the problem, which is about all you could hope for. Overall, a pretty decent place. read more

Went to have dinner on the patio tonight.. oh boy... Crappy service and a rude server! Waited along time to order out food and drinks. I ordered coconut chicken strips. She asked the appetizer? I asked do you have that in the basket? She said no! Well why did you ask then. My friend asked for sour cream... She said, like normal sour cream? Then she came out with our bill... And didn't ask if we wanted anything else. I didn't think we were done yet, apparently she had other things to do. At the time I asked her for more dipping sauce... Well guess what, I never received it so I finished without it. That's when we decided to leave. read more

Stopped for lunch on way home from fishing. Very good burger, blu burger. Everyone got a nice meal. Even the complaining guy said "shrimp basket good deal." Waitress was good. Going to put my two cents in about electronic pull tabs, dumb idea state of mn, looks like a waste of state money. read more

The waitress was very helpful about what to order. The food was solid, standard sports bar fare. We had beer cheese soup which was smoky and good. The pot roast came highly recommended and was served with beautiful veggies, mashed potatoes and a bread stick. The kid's meal was well received by my picky eater. read more

The bacon ranch cheeseburger is the best burger I've ever had. The waffle fries and Long Island were great also. Can't wait to go back.

Have always had great food but this afternoon not so much. Fries were way over done Ciabatta bun very dry. They removed the steak fries from the menu which is to bad because they were the best. read more

Last night my girlfriend and I decided to stop in and try the food. Since the reviews are overwhelmingly good. We both were impressed with the cleanliness and lighting. Nice drink portions and the appetizer was delicious. Unfortunately the bartender was an Absolute B****. Sadly it wrecked the experience. Won't be back. read more

Food was pretty good. Special was ribs and shrimp. Great tasting ribs with smokey BBQ sauce. Good experience all around, especially if on Highway 10! read more

Went there and was seated after a couple minute wait on a fairly busy day! Waited almost a half hour without so much as a drink order taken! I will spend my $100 bill somewhere where they acknowledge and appreciate my presence!! Never again read more

I've been here several times. Food is good, service is great. Just went there on Thursday and I was surprised to see the place packed. It was bingo night. Everyone seemed to be having fun. I was really surprised how well the service was and how friendly the staff was with a packed house. read more

My husband and I went with some friends of ours one evening and it had been my first visit. It took quite a while to get our drinks. ( no mixed drinks, just water and beer) and the place was not anywhere near "full". My husband and another person in our group ordered all you can eat fish dinner and us ladies ordered burgers. Needless to say the "all you can eat" fish was more hassle than it was worth. These 2 guys were pretty hungry and got 1 piece of fish each and it took forever for our server to come back and ask if everything was ok or if we needed anything and of course the guys had long since finished there 1 piece of fish. So of course they asked for more. Again the second round of fish was quite a lenghty wait. By the time it came us ladies were completely finished and out of drinks. And once again it took a long time to get a refill. Really? How hard is it to fill up water?!?!?? Needless to say my first visit was not one that was making me want to come back. read more

As others have stated bar food but good selection of other higher end foods and special. Staff was first rate and food was presented well, drinks always filled, large portions. Staff rechecks through meal on a busy night. Recommended!! read more
