The staff were also super friendly and quick with service. They handled the lunch rush beautifully.

To start, i ordered chips and queso and the queso was not queso- more like beer cheese dip. The…read morechips were white and cold, which also ruined my nachos. My quesadilla was alright, but when i talked to the staff about the food quality they did not care. They brushed it off and continued to be unhelpful and give attitude after i offered to pay for the food i did eat. Nothing in the restaurant had any type of Mexican culture about it.

We asked for extra tortillas which were very hot and perfectly done. Yesterday we were craving to go back. We just wanted something small so we had the Carne Asada taco plate not disappointed great service. We're glad we got there when we did because the restaurant filled up very quickly with local patrons. And then the police officers came in, who had never tried it before, and everybody was very helpful to help them find what they might like. Great experience considering it for breakfast this morning :-) highly recommend.

Food is really good IF you actually receive what you order. If you order the mushroom & swiss, be…read moreprepared for an olive burger. This has happened 3 separate times. One of those times was to a teen who has ARFID. There is no way olive burger even came out of our mouths accidently while ordering because we all hate olives. Bartenders/servers are just plain unfriendly, to the point of being rude, even when ordering ice water. Everyone has bad days, but even on my worst days I would never treat any customer like we have been treated. I wish the best to everyone who attends & hope you actually get the food you order. ARFID is so difficult, but even more so I hope someone with an actual food allergy will be listened to, fully comprehended, & get what they actually order for their health. The locals are just plain rude as the night progresses. If you are not part of the usual crowd, be prepared for people to be confrontational & rude, even if you are sober & just a friendly, decent human. While we will never attend or order take-out from this local bar & grill again, I hope everyone else gets what they actually order from a bartender/server who actually listens, is kind, & friendly even on their worst days.

First time visiting this place. Sorry we waited 3 months to try it!!! It was quiet when we arrived,…read morebut we immediately noticed that it's clean and surprisingly roomy. The fenced patio is decent-sized new concrete with funky old wooden spool-type tables (check out the names in the concrete outside the fence...fun!). The men's room is a hoot, if you care to explore! Emily was tending and serving. Very nice, fast on her feet, and made us feel right at home. Great smile! Happy attitude! She should train people for those positions in every restaurant from Albert Lea to Owatonna! Jason was doing the cooking. We didn't get to meet him, but we sure liked what he sent out from the kitchen!! He's gifted! We started with the broccoli cheddar bites--so so SO good! Should've gotten two orders. We had the special (chicken, mashed, rice, slaw and a roll), and the taco salad (without taco meat, and Emily didn't even bat an eye at that weird request). Both meals were wonderful! I do wish they had a grown-up's grilled cheese on the menu (say, with sunflower nuts, or potato chips, or fries in it), but that's just my bizarre taste, and it certainly won't keep us from returning. We were so happy we finally checked out this place! The service and the cooking made us fans. (That $150 pulltab didn't hurt, either!) WELL DONE, GENEVA BAR & GRILL!!!! L & C

Overall (C) I hate writing a not so positive review…read moreregarding a small business but hopefully this helps them improve. First the positives, it's a pretty good value and the service was excellent. It's about $15-$20 a person out the door. The prices seem justified for the portion sizes. The service was super fast also quite impressed. Staff was super friendly and nice also. Areas for improvement - the food. I got the chicken enchiladas and beef tacos. Nothing special - super bland. Chips and salsa were okay. Basically nothing was terrible but nothing was memorable. Also there is no sign outside. Not sure what happened. If they could improve the quality of food then they would have all the things for success The food is not up-to what I'm looking for. But you may enjoy it. There were above 5-6 tables for a late dinner on a Monday. So not bad. Might be to your liking but not mine
