Fantastic Friday fish fry. And prepare to wait unless you arrive at 430pm. Seriously. Is it worth…read morethe wait? I'd say yes but you may have a different answer, especially as it is crowded on a Friday and there is not a lot of room to wait. There are plenty of nearby options for fish fry, but don't expect a shorter wait and Dan's or anywhere else in the area. The fish is delicious. On other days the other food here is also above average. Also a full bar, so that helps kill some time as you wait for a table. If you know you face a wait, this will work for you. If you are in a hurry, there are McDonald's in Farmington or Hastings.

I did a search on Yelp and came across this place that was only a few minutes off our route and it was more than worth the extra 5 mins. The interior was filled with little signs and rubber ducks. For drinks I ordered the Bloody Mary which came with a spotted cow chaser and my husband ordered the mimosa. We spotted they had spotted cow cheese curds and ordered these. They were absolutely amazing and rivaled the Mouth Trap Cheese Curds you get at the Minnesota State Fair. For entrees I ordered the Butcher Omelet with Hollandaise and it was so delicious and packed with fillings. I had no hope in finishing it so we took it home for leftovers. My husband ordered the Three Little Pigs Benedict and noted it was a top 3 benedicts he has ever had (he loves benedicts). I also ordered a cold brew cocktail I think it was the Spiked Salty Caramel and it was delicious and decadent! The entire time we were there people kept stopping in and visiting the bartender to get drinks and it was so fun to see. She was absolutely so fantastic and one of those bartenders you would go back to see over and over. Just a bummer its not close to our house. I would recommend this place to anyone who is over in this area. It is so perfect!

Went to this restaurant for the first time on Mother's Day this year. (Crazy choice to go to a…read morebreakfast diner on the busiest day of the year, but we were so impressed.) There was a 45-minute wait for a table for two but we snagged a couple spots at the bar and sat down right away. The bartender/waitress was a pure delight. Despite how crazy busy it was, she was pleasant and helpful and efficient. (I'm sorry I can't remember her name.) And they were offering free mimosas to all the ladies which was a nice bonus. Hubby and I both ordered the eggs Benedict with a side of hashbrowns. Everything was perfectly cooked and we were delighted with the crispy hash browns Strangely, we find crispy, perfectly cooked hashbrowns very rarely. And we have breakfast out fairly often. This restaurant nailed it! The prices are very reasonable, and the service was great. Highly recommend!

They also offer igloo dining, which you can reserve ahead, such a fun touch & especially in colder months. The fries cost a few dollars extra, which was a little surprising at first, but honestly, they're worth the upgrade. The standard chips that come with meals are just bagged, which was a bit of a letdown...I was at least hoping for something house-made. Still, overall a really solid spot!

As a patron who was not with that group, I was uncomfortable for some of them at the table. I am not sure of the nature of the complaint, issue or comment, but that was unnecessary to behave in that manner regardless if you believed the customer was in the wrong. There was only one waitress working, she appeared to be doing her best, but they were not busy and food & drinks times were long. We have not been to Coopers in a while, figured we would try a local place for a quick bite & trivia, but most likely will not be back if that's how's complaints/issues are handled.

I didn't order food while I was there, so I can't speak to the menu, but I did try a margarita.

Overall, it seems like the kind of place that works well as a practical stop if you're traveling, need a quick drink, or just want somewhere casual to sit for a bit and use the restroom. It's not somewhere I'd personally choose for a date night, but it serves its purpose as a simple, low-key stop along the way.
