    A very average burger, but the fries were decent. Cool little spot with counter service

    Good food and service. BUT beware they will charge you $2 for cream if you don't order coffee.

    It's all in the name!!!!!…read more Just got done eating at the Cottonwood Grill and what I had was the best burger in New Ulm (BBNU). They did not lie, that burger was by far the best burger I've had in this town. It definitely makes my top 10 list of burgers that I've ever had. Picture below. I decided to adoring my burger with some applewood bacon and I can safely say that my choice was the right choice. Thick slices, but not too thick where it overpowers the burger, great addition if you are looking for a burger and want just a bit more. Maybe you are asking why I did not give this restaurant five stars? That would be a fair question. I'm going to have to deduct a star because of their French fries. While they appeared to look very good, I guess I will never know because they were overpowered by salt. I found myself petting every single fry that I consumed to scrape the overwhelming amount of salt off of it to truly see if I was enjoying the french fries. The only positive aspect to this is I know I'm going to have good luck for the next couple weeks for all the salt I threw over my shoulder. Friendly service, beautiful view of the golf course and the drink just outside the windows. Friendly bartender and waitstaff, also a very nice bathroom on the facility. Those things are important. Highly recommend, just maybe ask for some fries without salt

    Food and service is nothing special. Lack of management and training makes this not much higher…read morethan fast food. Nothing is made from scratch. All syco reheat. I ordered tonight the shrimp and scallops scampi in cream sauce. There were 4 shrimp along with the teeny tiny salad scallops. I got the side salad (Ceasar) to go. There was no dressing when I got home. Just romain lettuce with the fake parmasean like you get in packets. No croutons...no dressing. Taste was very bland. Reminded me of a stoufers frozen meal.
