Driving back through town we wanted to make a stop at Crooked Pint Ale House as we remembered the…read moredelicious burger we had last year. We stopped in for happy hour and we were immediately sat by the hostess. She was super sweet and friendly. I didn't catch our servers name but she was very attentive and friendly as well. It was taco Tuesday but we were craving that burger. Crooked Pint did not disappoint! Another yummy, juicy burger! We both ordered the Juicy Lucy and added lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It definitely is juicy. So good. Unfortunately the onion rings were not up to par. Couldn't taste the onions at all. They just tasted like breading. But, the burger is terrific so try another side other than the onion rings. They had someone announcing a trivia game that patrons could choose to participate. The questions were not easy so it made it a fun challenging game.

After doing some research, we found The Landing and were sold immediately! A tiki bar? Broasted chicken? Pretzel bites? All great things. However, when we arrived the menu they had was not the same as what was listed on their website even though we were seemingly still able to complete an online order for those items. The menu on the inside of the restaurant seemed to be the same thing so we don't think it was because we were sitting outside. If that was the case, we weren't provide with that information or the option to sit inside since the hostess stand was outside. I ended up ordering the Monte Cristo, which was really good, but the portion sizes of my friends' food left something to be desired. Additionally, even though they seemed to have plenty of staff and weren't super busy, our service was lacking. I never got a refill on my water and our server didn't check back in very often. I don't think I'll be returning if I'm in the area.

Fresh paint, weeding outside, ne upholstery would go along ways to make it more welcoming! Good luck and go for the food if so!

The Good: The…read morehomemade chips were amazing. The food was really good and came quick. They aren't lying when they say they have an amazing club sandwich. The bad: Beware of what you're ordering. We walked in for lunch and it looked like we were inconveniencing them. One of the staff literally sat at the bar for a few minutes staring at us before going on the other side to serve us. They clearly didn't want people in the bar area even though it was open. I ordered a bloody and it came in a small cocktail glass, not a pint glass like pictured, with an olive and a pickle. Which wasn't a big deal since I didn't order a done up one, but when I noticed it was $8.50 due to an up charge for Tito's (which makes sense) I felt like I was in the city. I then ordered a Windsor 7 and it was served in a pint glass. I was happily surprised it came in a larger glass and felt they had redeemed themselves.... until the bill came. Without ordering it "tall" or a double I was uncharged $1.50 for it being tall. All I'll say is if you order drinks here make sure you are specific or the staff will take advantage and up-charge you.

We stopped at the L&M Grill on our way back to the cities from Faribault. We couldn't really find…read moreany breakfast places that weren't fast food/chains so we thought we'd head out of town. We saw L&M not only had a patio - an important feature for me to eat out during COVID - but it was covered in plants! Double win. When you get there you sign in with your information so they can contact you after if need be. There is also hand sanitizer as soon as you walk in. It was a Sunday around 11 and the place was hopping. The waitress that greeted us let us know it would be a longer wait because they were swamped and they would only be serving lunch. I had really wanted breakfast but absolutely appreciated her giving us the heads up and being honest with what we could expect. In times like these, it's important to roll with the punches and be grateful you can even go out at all. We ordered a couple bloody maries and just enjoyed some time on the patio. For lunch, I got the taco salad (without the black olives) and my fiancé got the turkey club. He really enjoyed his club and the wedge fries were hot and fresh! The taco salad was a great portion, especially for being like $8. It was nothing I would crave but I have no complaints given the price. All the servers were really friendly and they seemed to have a large crowd of regulars they treat like family. You can't go wrong at L&M!

The owner of the restaurant was nothing short of outstanding, attentive and most gracious in every way.

We visited a Saturday when they open at 4 and got there just a few minutes before they opened. There were a few other parties and the parking slowly started to fill over the first hour or so. Apparently the wait for pizza can get up to two hours so arrive early and make a day/evening of it. It's a farm so expect rustic. After driving down a dirt road and parking in a field you make your way to the barn to order. Other items to note are porta potties, farm animals and trails. They are a clean farm so you bring in everything (drinks, sides, plates, napkins) and take everything out...including the pizza boxes that they serve your pizza in. All the info says to bring your own chairs/tables as well. They do have plastic tables and lots of folding chairs that must be for events because they don't set them up. We forgot our chairs so opted for one of the two picnic tables that says they are available for parties of 8 or less but felt like we got some side eye and then we we're actually called out on it by the owner to other customers which was sort of odd. So definitely bring your chairs/tables/blankets. Onto pizza...it's delicious. We've now tried the Lola, mn mess and pig and pork and all are amazing. This pizza is delicious and the experience is just unique enough to make it worth the drive. Pizza: 5/5 Setting: 5/5 Service/hospitality: 3/5
