Too NEW & sterile ... lacks that "comfortable" feel! I prefer a bar with more "wear n' tear!" The older blonde female daytime bartender made me wanna leave and NEVER return. On the other hand, shift change bartenders Clay & Marcie were GREAT! They made me "leave wanting more!" The food is food for the hungry ... microwave being their only "heating-up" source I like the sand volleyball court & outside area ... makes for a good sunset view too The customers at bar appeared to be a happy & interactive local group. Good customers & good service can overcome the "sterile" "Run-A-Way Bill" @ Party Reptile was here! 08/31/15 read more

We tried to be pleasant/nice.....and we tipped...but would never, will never under any circumstance darken their doorstep-bar? Meh, food MEH!! Gas station sushi...pretty close-sorry if it sounds mean but this isn't a place for food! read more

Service is good, the food...mehhh!! this place doesn't worth it, gas station food is better.

A cute spot that we stumbled across on the way to the lake because one of my coworkers parents owns it! It gives off log cabin vibes and is so cute inside- I'm a sucker for beer signs! Bartenders were quick, efficient, and friendly! We just got the jalapeño cheese stuffed pretzel today but are looking forward to adding this place to our rotation in the summer. The burgers and the Big Mac Salad are calling my name!! read more

My salad looked & tasted like something from a gas station....and cost $11. Not worth it at all!

Love the roast beef sandwich and burgers! A fun stop.

Have been coming to this town and this bar for 20 years. I was there yesterday 5 October 2019. The service from the gal behind the bar was terrible. We ordered and got some drinks and that was it, she never came back to refill drinks or offer another adult beverage. This is not how Genes used to be, it was the best place to go. Now it is the worst. Bartender was more worried about talking and not working. Food was good, but took forever to get to the table. Will not be going there anytime soon. read more

I've had many experiences in the town of Roseau and none of which have been good or pleasant but this one is probably the worst! First of all you should know a banquet was held here or I would have left right away. Went to the bar in the back room where a newby bartender tried to make me a Long Island iced tea in a tiny 6 oz cup, it was awful! Then she charged $7.00 for said drink, even after I told her it did not taste right. Those are prices I would pay in a large city, absolutely crazy for a town like Roseau in a 6 oz plastic cup. Then she just stood there staring at me as if I just told her aliens landed! I also asked for a menu as my daughter is gluten intolerant, the only thing on there was a grilled chicken salad which I had to go to the front to order and pay for. I went to the front. First told them I wanted a new drink. The lady was pissed at me and made it very apparent that she was. I finally got a new drink and made it a simple one. Then I said I needed to order and pay for a grilled chicken salad, she said there was a burger buffet for the banquet, I said my daughter is gluten intolerant, she said she doesn't need to eat the bun! Very rude! I then had to inform her we do not eat red meat...after that I just said if you don't want to make us food then we will go somewhere else to eat, she agreed to make the salad finally. Hopefully the pic loaded...if not, she threw just lettuce and a sprinkle of cheese into a bowel and 6 little pieces of grilled chicken. NEVER GO HERE! RUDE RUDE RUDE!!! Editing review, forgot to mention they have no deep fried foods! No French fries! read more

Gene's Bar & Grill - $8.00 grilled chicken salad!!?? More like a $4 side salad! - Sports Bars Near Me - Roseau, Minnesota

Great 'woodsie' atmosphere! Stopped to use my free drink coupon from the hotel and was impressed. They have 8 different beers on tap, outdoor seating and great burgers and fries. read more

5 for great service! Friendly staff and always quick refills. My Mushroom Swiss burger had the perfect ratio of meat / toppings to bun. Relaxed atmosphere and clean. read more

It took them 30 minutes to get our drinks. Only one person was working 5 tables. Small menus but free refills

Came here for lunch with a co-worker. Burgers and fries....nothing too special. Service was acceptable but not great. It was a good burger I guess. Meh. read more

This place was awful! There were hardly any customers in there when my parents took me here for lunch and it still took 30 minutes to get our nachos we ordered for appetizers (nothing special, just chips & microwaved dip). The waitress spilled our sodas all over our table, didn't even clean it up for us! Then we realized the cook was standing talking the whole entire time so she didn't even remember our burgers. Which were bland by the way & came with chips, not fries. It shouldn't take 45 minutes to get an order out when nobody else was eating. Then we watched the table who ordered the same time we did wait almost an hour for a grilled cheese, chili and soup. I will never return & highly encourage everyone else to eat elsewhere. read more
