I've never had ribs this good for such a good price anywhere else. The parking is accessible in front of the restaurant. It is a big parking lot.

Fast, friendly service; a great breakfast and lunch menu plus ample coffee/espresso offerings, a couple smoothies, etc. Saturday's brunch was so good we went back Sunday! Not a lot of indoor seating but the side patio is large with plenty of tables and umbrellas. Also seems to have a drive-up window but everyone I saw come thru seemed to have called their orders ahead. We had a oretty wide selection and everything was tasty. Special mention to the Lulu (I wish I had ordered two loaves of that bread to bring home!) and the fries which were extra yummy.

Irish's Place could improve by better representing the Irish people! As an Irish Canadian I am…read moredisgusted by the overt hatred displayed on the sign in the window stating that farm workers born in other countries are unwelcome. These farm workers are good people who work local farms in order to provide food for local people... doing work which local people are unwilling to do. Lack of these workers would result in these farms failing followed by other losses of local businesses, likely including Irish's Place. All minority groups loathe seeing one of their own displaying uncivil behavior! That is why this Irish/Canadian girl is disgusted by the ignorant signage displayed in a window who's owner implies they themselves are Irish so would be former immigrants who were themselves very unwelcome and horribly treated by other Americans who were also immigrants though they had gotten there first, so felt they had the right to discriminate against the next person to come...just as this establishment is doing now. Think about it. Irish's Place should stop shaming their fellow Irish people and either get rid of their racist sign or change the name of their business. I know well the impact of immigration here in Canada and am proud, enriched and unharmed by the diversity of my neighborhood which includes all colors and religions so it cannot be said that I don't understand.

In the convenience store located next to the bar you can see old photos of the original store. On your typical weekday (and I often eat here weekly), you'll find Polar employees here on their lunch break. You'll find straightforward specials each day like a large soft shell taco, chicken strips or drummies and fries (Wed.), or a double cheeseburger. All of it tastes great. They have a great house salad for those looking A few things worth trying: sour cream fries, the restaurant's barbecue sauce, and the special Bialka Burger which features two patties, an onion ring, an egg, and more, on a bun. It will fill you up for the entire day. It's definitely worth trying as least once. On the weekend, you'll often find a DJ, band, or other special events going on, and during the winter it's a popular spot to stop for snowmobilers. John Bialka is often found behind the bar preparing food, and the servers are friendly. Cindy will keep your beverage filled. It's a quintessential historical, small town Minnesota bar and grill. A great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat, and catch up on the latest news in Lake Wobegone country.
