If I had a Time Machine I'd go back 3 hours and have eaten anywhere else. This was my first meal of the day so the bar was set very low already, and all I can say is I should've eaten the food I had at home. The chicken wings (bone in) were edible, but the bacon cheeseburger and the chicken strips were awful. The only way to rectify this, is giving me my $50 back, minus tip because the server was lovely. read more

We were a party of 8 with 3 kids (7, 4 and 3) and 5 adults. We arrived and were seated around 135. There was a small lunch rush while we were getting settled in. We ordered apps (wontons, cheese curds and buffalo dip). They were all very ok but it took so long for them to arrive the kids were starting to get antsy. It was a long morning/afternoon as we went to a local kite festival and were looking for sustenance quick. I called to our waitress as she as rushing by our table before the apps arrived, anticipating that it would be a while because they still hadn't come yet, And she brushed me off and kept doing what she was doing, saying to me slightly irritated, "I put your apps in. I have a process I'll come back." The apps finally came out and 10 min after that she came back to take our mains. The kids were starting to lose their minds getting up walking around, my four-year-old kept saying rather loudly. "Where is my hamburger I'm hungry. Where is my hamburger?" By this time, every table around us had been served. We were starting to get upset. 90 minutes after we were seated, we finally got our main courses, but they came out in spurts. I think the final dish came out about 10 minutes after the trickle began. My mom didn't like her boneless wings and didn't want to eat them, the kids nuggets were OK. The cheeseburgers had good reviews from the seven-year-old and my four-year-old. The kids menu is decent and came with several good sides like fruit, and a cup, a cookie, fries, And soda, although if you wanted something other than soda that was an enough charge. There did seem to be an up charge for almost everything. I had the stirfry and it was very mediocre. They comped us the boneless wings because my mom didn't want to eat them, and our waitress seemed exasperated about that. The bill was $200. All in all, it was not a great experience and we won't be back. The service was slow, rude/inconsiderate at times, the food mediocre and the atmosphere loud... they had those toy vending machines which make bored hungry kids get whinier. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

A big, open bar area - pretty standard for this type of fare. Service was quick and attentive. I opted for the Southwest Fried Burrito per the waitstaff recommendation, which was a solid dish with a slightly different take (fried) than a standard burrito. Nothing special, but nothing wrong with the flavors either. read more

It's been a long time since I ate here but came with a large party and was pleasantly impressed with everything! If you like good food, solid service, plenty of TVs and good selection then this place will check the boxes! Our waitress Mackenzie was excellent and dealt with us absolutely professional and friendly as well as patient with a large group! All the food we had was excellent and I personally got the French dip and it was excellent!! The bread was so fresh and soft which made the sandwich a winner! Definitely will go back again after this great experience! read more

Stopped here on the way home from Willmar on a whim seeing that they have Ribeye on their menu. We were a little disappointed when we found out they didn't have any but they had other great options to choose from. They had a burger on their special menu that sounded really good . The burger was half pork and half beef with Ham, Cheese, Bacon, Onion straws with BBQ sauce on a Pretzel bun. So glad I decided to get it. One of the best burgers I have ever had. They had a really good bloody Mary as well. The service was great. We will definitely go back if we are ever in the area. read more

The seating area was okay along with the service. The food was subpar. If I had friends visiting from out of town, I would not bring them here to eat. read more

Horrible! If it wasn't for the bartender, this place would be out of business! Food was overcooked, no consistency. A young girl is the owner and never there. Hired all her friends to manages it and has become a shithole! Closed the place at halftime of the Vikings game. Closes at 9. DO NOT RECOMMEND! SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE!​ read more

The food was amazing and the service was incredible, they were happily accommodating with my allergy and overall me and my boyfriend loved it!! We're definitely planning to go back! The portion sizes are huge aswell! You definitely get what you pay for! read more

We love Chatters, it is one of our go-to places. The food is really good, and always HOT but we just know we will have to wait awhile. Not to get in, we've always gotten in right away, but for food we've almost always had to wait for that. I am not complaining, it is nice not to feel rushed. Staff is super friendly and like most places, they are very short staffed (thus the wait) Last time we were there a guy from a very large table (probably a minimum of at least 12 people) was complaining to their server, going on about the length of time between their drinks (wearing a political tshirt) the server handled herself so well!! (Pretty sure he was looking for a free round) I actually tried to find her when we left but she was super busy, so I asked the hostess to tell her GREAT JOB!! read more

This is my all-time favorite restaurant, hands down. This place is so good that I don't even like to go out to eat anywhere else. The cheese curds are to die for and I love their steak skewers with the sriracha aioli. Everything is fresh and homemade. I've never tried anything on their menu that I haven't liked and I bring everyone I know to try this place and have never heard a complaint. On top of their delicious food, the staff are all awesome and always friendly, even when they're extremely busy. My only complaint is that they are no longer open late; they used to be open normal bar hours on the weekends with a DJ. Nowhere else in town has a DJ or crowd like chatters did. It was extremely depressing that this went away after Covid. Aside from that, everything about this place is solid and worth every penny. I'd eat here literally every single day if I could, especially those cheese curds. I've never had cheese curds that have compared to chatters. Highly recommend this place. read more

Absolutely amazing food! Definitely recommend for anyone with Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity as they have many options and substitutes. Our server was also fantastic and personable! read more

Excellent food, drinks and service. The decor and atmosphere is amazing. Convenient to local businesses and entertainment also.

After not being seated, waiting at the bar while the same waitress passed us multiple times, my wife asked for the bartender. The bartender finally came when I mentioned no one paid attention to us, she said someone just notified her...but per my wife's request. Ok, then King Leer sat at the end of the bar staring at us our whole visit including jumping up and following us out. I hope we weren't taken aboard a UFO. Food, so-so. read more

I was happy to see Chatter's was open after driving from out of town for lunch; always heard great things. Walked in took 3 minutes for someone to notice my husband and I was standing waitbig to be seated. Was asked for high top, table or booth. We both agreed it didn't matter. We got seated with menus in a corner booth and got told she'll be right back. 10-15 minutes went by and no one came for a drink order let alone to check up on us. As we were walking out the waitress told my husband, "I'm sorry I totally forgot about you guys in the corner booth." One waitress working and one bringing food from kitchen. Very disappointed in service and the attitude of the waitress, will never be back there again. read more

Food sucked. The height of pompous arrogance is when you serve your fries in a little fucking basket on the plate, and they're chewy, and harder than the cheap steak that didn't even cover half of the bread of your steak melt. The woman with pink eyeliner was lazy at the bar where there was no one there but me to serve. Didn't get a refill of my Diet Pepsi in 45 min of sitting there. Never coming back here. read more

It's a tad pricey for the quality, which surprises me a bit since I live in Maple Grove and am quite used to overpricing. My wife and I had lunch with a couple friends last week and I wasn't pleased with a $58 (includes customary tip) tab for a quesadilla, french dip sandwich, 2 Miller Lite taps, and 2 craft taps. $7 for pint tap craft beers is overkill in my opinion. Also, charging a buck apiece for tiny ramekins of guac and "horseradish mayo" (which tasted like ranch and pepper) is horse apples. It's just like a Wild Bill's or Cowboy's, but somehow manages to be more expensive despite being located in exurban Monticello. This wasn't my first experience at Chatters, but might be my last. The food is pretty bland and uninspiring which, when combined with being overpriced, gives me due cause to take my appetite elsewhere. The service saves them from a 2-star review. I would allocate my rating as 2-star food with 4-star service. read more

Good people. Good service. Good food. Prices pretty average for the type of restaurant. Menu has some unique options and a good variety. Something for everyone. Our server was doing double duty as the only bartender but she still did a very good job. In fairness, it was 2 in the afternoon. We both had burgers and shared an appetizer. Food was tasty. They were pretty diligent about sanitizing and maintaining Covid protocols from what I saw. We'll definitely be back. read more

I've been waiting here for 2 hours already and haven't been served. service here is garbage. I guess you can't find good help these days. I will be leaving no tip. read more

Just gross! We had dinner here one night and we sat at the bar, the bartender wasn't very personable. When we asked about the cups on the liquor bottles she told us they have issues with fruit flies, the seasoning they use to rim you glass for Bloody Mary's or margaritas was so nasty looking like the don't ever clean them. The olives and pickles they use for drinks where just sitting out in the open and I actually watched a server put her hand in it to get an olive out and drop it into a drink. The food was just okay. We won't go back. read more

Super good food. Great atmosphere and server was so welcoming. They said their cheese curds rival the state fair's and they aren't wrong.

Went in for lunch. Not very busy, yet very slow service. 10 minutes after getting our drinks before someone comes to take food orders, if not longer. From sit down to food was roughly 50 minutes. Food was average. Would not come back for this slow service. read more

My first time here today and I loved this place! The buffalo chicken burger is great, cheese curds wonderful and the fried pickles were outstanding! I thought the menu had so many interesting options and I can't wait to come back and try something else. Our server was very attentive and communicated wonderfully with us. Will for sure be back. read more

Alfredo with fried chicken was good. Fries and tots were a little salty but severed in the cutest basket fries were really good. The buffalo burger was good. They seemed way understaffed poor waitress had almost the whole restaurant read more

Immediate smell of bar rot. Never have carpet n a high volume bar! Food is pretty good but just as I was warned, the service is ANYTHING but fast and friendly. And I never post a bad review on one experience. Tried this place four times. Yesterday I was there right when it opened and it was like the entire staff just showed up and did zero prep. Service took way way way too long for only a handful of customers. When I finally got someone to cash me out, the bartender had to get cash drawers from the office. That was 50 minutes after opening. We all waited on checks. It's not really the servers fault. The management should step up and learn what is being said in the community and make some changes. Just go ask patrons at other bars what they think of chatters. It's never positive. But they are pretty much the only game in town that stays open until 2am. read more

I've only had lunch here, but it was good. I tried the Reuben, and fetuccini alfredo. A-ok. they have a private party room and a patio. Our service was good and the kid was welcomed with crayons and a kids menu. It seems like a decent neighborhood bar & grill. read more

Would have liked to given them a better review. The atmosphere was cool, but we waited almost 40 minutes to get three meals, service was terrible. We basically had no server. read more

Mediocre. A solid eh. It's food. My fries were a little cold, but they were still better than starvation.

Decent food. I had the Cowboy Nachos. They had good flavor but somewhat cold. The bartenders and servers were great. The only negative was while playing pull tabs there was a questionable character that wanted to buy out the box and the pull tab seller allowed the woman to go to her car to buy out the box? I guess the woman is a bartender at Wild Bills in Maple Grove. She seemed like she was tweeking? read more

This place had a good atmosphere! The server was very nice. The prices were a bit higher then I expected. $4.75 or a tap beer....$4.50 for a bottle of beer. Nothing on the menu was under $11. My boyfriend got the Chatter Burger and I got the all you can eat beer battered cod with fries. The food was very good....just pricy for what you get. read more

Horrible. Waitress was more concerned about taking care of other employee s baby,toddler than taking care of patrons. If the owner of this establishment saw what was going on, he would not be happy. How about taking care of the paying customers? I won't go back as I seemed like a distraction or problem rather than a customer. read more

Weeeellll. Somewhat noisy. Probably about 3000 tvs playing football. Service was fine. However food took 30-40 minutes to arrive, and there were plenty of empty tables, meaning not busy. Chicken bacon ranch wrap was somewhat dry. Stir fry was surprisingly tasteless considered the plethora of things in the dish. All you can eat fish was more batter than fish. Terrible. read more

Awesome staff! Cool atmosphere! We didn't eat but after reading the menu o can wait to come back an try something! My man ordered a drink and they made it wrong, he sent it back and they were super friendly about it and made him a brand new one even after he changed his.mind on what he wanted. Come check this place out! Wish we had this in St Joe! read more

First time customer during lunch hour. Place was 40% filled with one server working, she was the host, bartender and waitress. Incredible business leadership and sense of awareness. Good food, timely and more importantly great service. I will go again. read more

Mediocre food. Slow service. And extremely expensive. 14 bucks for a burger. Not likely to return

They got 1 slave bartender working on the weekends. It's ridiculous. She is almost forced to be rude to customers because she can't keep up. HIRE MORE STAFF AND QUIT BEING CHEAP! read more

They have horrible service.. do not go here!! We waited 50 min. For our food and there was barely anyone in the restaurant! Plus the bouncers are horrible! Talk about power struggle.. they think they're secret service! read more

We were in here tonight trying to enjoy drinks which I can say took way to long to receive.i get it gets busy but this is also there job when we wanted to pay she was know where in sight so we went to the bartender who was above an beyond rude an swore at us. We will not ever be coming back there again an make sure all our friends know it. read more

My husband and I ordered the chicken quesadilla appetizer, Thai chicken flatbread pizza, and chicken bacon ranch wrap. The quesadilla was served nice and hot from the grill with lots of fresh lettuce, pica de gallo, sour cream, salsa, and black olives. Not a single complaint about it. I've had soggy room-temperature quesadillas from other restaurants, but this one was perfect and crispy. My Thai pizza was AMAZING. Carrots, red bell peppers, cilantro, cabbage, green onions, shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and sriracha sauce. The pizza dough is made in-house, and it was as good as the ones at Punch Pizza (Neapolitan style). It has that perfect balance of chewiness, light texture, and crispy at the edges. Again, I've had flatbread pizzas at other places which are soggy in the middle -- but not so with Chatters. Whoever is manning the oven is doing a great job. My husband said his wrap was very generous with the chicken and bacon. We have eaten at Chatters a handful of times before, and it has been average (which is not a bad thing), but this visit was exceptionally great! read more
