We had family visiting from Oklahoma and spent the day in Mille Lacs. We were starving on our way…read moreback to Elk River and decided to stop in at Rough-Cut. The Saturday prime rib special was one of the deciding factors. Within the first few minutes, we learned that they were completely sold out [mind you it was before 7pm]. The two biggest disappointments were service, or lack thereof, and the amount of time it took for our order to be filled. For context, after ordering, we waited over 45 minutes for our food to be served. And when it did come, it was luke warm and not served at the same time. My husband was nearly done with his meal before I received mine. While completely outside the control of Rough-Cut, we sat, very, very hungry listening to some loud mouth drunk talking about how many girls his friend "banged". Mind you....we were sitting on the restaurant side, not the bar side. Just added to an already bad experience. Rough-Cut needs more and higher quality wait staff and a smaller menu that they can actually fill. Timely and of quality. For extra context, the dining room was busy, but we did not wait to sit down and there were open tables the entire time we were there. My recommendation for those traveling along 169 ....keep going. Sorry!

The dough alone is everything I didn't know I needed. And the fries though! I swear there's tumeric on them, they have the most surprising and delightful seasoning. I need more places to treat their fries with this much thought. I also had a jalapeno cheddar brat that had the perfect snap, and the pickled onions and bread that came with it went really well together.

They have a huge smoker out front and you can tell it gets good use as the meat has a nice smoke to it. They also have a huge outdoor area where we could take our dog, so that was nice.

Gonna have to downgrade from my previous 5-star review. We had been to Smokey's numerous times over…read morethe past several years and have always been impressed. Not this time. We stopped in with family recently and the food was just so-so. I and another member of our party ordered the beef brisket. The meat was dry as a popcorn fart. Was it left over from the previous day and re-heated? All I know is that Texas brisket should be moist and melt-in-your-mouth. This was like shoe leather. I had to slather it with BBQ sauce to make it palatable. I could only choke down about a third of it, and I gave up. The only redeeming value was the service was good that day, and they still have a decent beer selection. Smokey's, you be slidin'.

Pizza is of course a perfect pairing to beer, and you can get ice cream to do a float with root beer or a sweet imperial stout (seriously, get it, so good). Ok, so why three stars? First, OMG sugar. The pizza sauce is sweet, and then they put honey on everything. I get it, bee themed, commit to the bit, but that did not go well with beer. Second, you're serving yourself, ordering at the counter, busing your own table... but unless you alter it, it's a 20% automatic tip on everything. I'm a believer in tipping, but not when there isn't any actual service. This is a norm right now for self pour places and I hate it.

They range in price depending on the tap but you control how much you pour of each one. The young man working the front check in was very nice, walked us through how everything worked and even tried troubleshooting the tap we wanted ( unfortunately it was all gone). We also got the pizza fries and they were good. The pizza looked really good but we had already had a late lunch!

It had a kick but not too much. The chunks of meat were like meatball size. Got the Texan burger and man was that good. It's a heart attack on a plate but had the kitchen sink on top AND on the bottom of the burger. Fries, onion rings, onions, and sauces. Yum. Oh and two cheeses. Yum. The fries were also amazing and just the way I like it. Not too crispy not too soft. This place is such a gem and if you blink while driving you'll miss it.
