The BBQ sauce was heavenly with them having a original, spicy, and a pineapple one. The pulled pork was good, the brisket was so so so good, muy muy muy bien. The things you have to get when you go here is the cheddar kielbasa ( cheddar sausage ) and the brisket, amazing with a little bit of salt. The food came out fast and you get a piece of cornbread with it and it is the best cornbread I have ever had!!! The fries were soft but not too soft and tasted so good and the Mac and cheese was just cheesy goodness and it was so heavenly. The meal came out so fast, amazing service, nice staff, and a great family vibe from them and their decorations. Would recommend to everyone as a number one place for brisket and a overall meaty place!!! Also great quality paper towels and had mini hand wipes for after words, staff was very generous!!

The food is decent but it doesn't mean much when it cuts into the time you earn for lunch. The owners wife is very kind but he is not. Makes the clientele feel like we are in the wrong for waiting.

Save your time and Money and cater elsewhere.

My wife and I drove up to St. Cloud from the Cities and decided to stop in for lunch. We ordered…read morethe wood smoked platter for her and I went with the spicy rotisserie chicken sandwich. For our starter we tried the firecracker shrimp. The shrimp were decent, a little on the sweeter side, and the cornbread ended up being gooey in the middle which threw it off for us. The spicy rotisserie chicken sandwich actually had good flavor but because they put it on a regular bun it didn't hold up at all. The liquid from the chicken soaked right through and the whole thing kept falling apart so it was hard to enjoy. Service was okay, nothing bad but nothing that stood out either. Overall we weren't really impressed with the experience. Might try something different next time we are in the area.

This is my opinion on the day we went in and do with it as you want…read more When we first arrived, they were busy. There was a Sunday brunch going on. No problem, we ended up waiting, maybe 15 minutes to get a table. There were 4 of us. That wasn't an issue and the staff was great. We got seated at our table and our waiter, I believe his name was Benjamin, was awesome. Great guy, didn't pressure us to order right away. Gave us time to look and would check in on us. All around great service. He was a 5 star! Even the atmosphere, with it being busy, was what you would expect. A lot of people talking and having a good time, no problems, no issues. We were kind of set back in the corner, which I'm thankful for, because we didn't have the noise from the Brunch area. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the food. With 4 people being served, you would think they would get the fries right? They were over seasoned on everyone's plate, horribly over seasoned. You might as well have been dipping them straight into the container of whatever seasoning was on them. Of the 4 orders of French fries, we left 2 orders on the table. I ordered the Gastro Pub Bison Burger, medium. Benjamin even started it was going to have some pink in the middle, and I said yes. The ticket even stated it. I don't know why they even put it on the ticket if they're going to cook it done. The burger ended up being over cooked and dry. It was a Bison burger, so there's plenty of moisture in those burgers when cooked to medium. This thing comes out as a little nothing sized burger. I wasn't impressed with it at all. My wife's order, Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Sandwich, came out good and she ate it all and really enjoyed it. One daughter had ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. She's had them before at other places and was excited to try their's. Came out ok except for the, what she stated as being too spicy. And again, the fries were over seasoned. My other daughter order a Spicy Dill Flatbread, which turned out really good. She was the only one of us who did like the over seasoned fries. Now when it comes to food, I never send anything back and i don't say anything because we might not be done with ordering. I have the biggest fear about retaliation. You hear the stories from someone you know, of possibly something being a little sketchy when food is reordered or it comes back out, so I just don't do it. I have been here before and it is pretty much the same as I remember it. The staff being great, but the food just being not worth it. The funny thing is it's the Chef's name is on the door when you come in the building. If I was him, I'd be a little embarrassed that his cooking staff can't do a medium burger and do some retraining. At least watch what the cooking staff is doing while preparing food that his name is associated with. I don't need to go back there and eat.

My husband had the Red Beans and Rice and really enjoyed it. Lots of meat in it. I was hoping for Crafish Étouffée but it isn't on the menu any longer. So I ordered the Shrimp Étouffée. Very disappointed. Only 5 small chunks of shrimp. It also has a sort of poblano verde sauce or maybe a poblano Maque Choux without the corn. Lots of celery. And the small amount of rice. I didn't eat much of it, after the shrimp was gone it was just bad sauce. A wasted $21. The cornbread was nice with honey butter. We split the bread pudding for dinner and it is excellent - DON'T MISS IT! Service was excellent. Especially the bus boy / water refiller. P.S. They don't do anything for anniversaries. Not sure if we will drive over 2 hours each way for Étouffée that was mediocre. The Crawfish Étouffée was excellent last time.
