We've stopped many times at the Trails but this was our first stop to eat at Skol Tavern…read more Our server was friendly and our food came pretty promptly. They do offer breakfast and carry beer. We had omelets and they were well done. The hashbrowns could have been browned longer but I do like mine extra crispy. You definitely get some of the Viking atmosphere with the dark wood, high ceilings, and huge fireplace. We didn't try Ragnor's Grill tho, Food was reasonably priced. It's a solid stop when traveling between Minneapolis and Des Moines.

My review is based on 3 separate visits to & from Minnesota. My wife & I are both Scandinavian so of course we loved the Viking/Nordic theme with tall ceilings & a large Fireplace. We have ordered the Skol classic Breakfast/ Brisket Melt w Mac & Cheese & multiple times the Breakfast Tot - Chos ( Heaping plate of tots covered w Gravy, Cheese & Eggs ) Everything has always been very good & served quite quickly. My only complaint is that you have to go get your own refreshments & when done eating you have to go stand in line at the cash register to pay your bill. But other than that we very much enjoyed all 3 visits to the Skol Tavern & we will absolutely return again.

Do you ever have a food that you just crave? For me it's wings. I could probably eat wings everyday…read moreand never get sick of them. I like hot wings, bbq wings, and will try most any flavor. My absolute favorites though are the Plum Barbeque Wings at Green Mill. They are so delicious and always hit the spot. I always order them with a side of the sweet potato fries and honey mustard. Green Mill has a great menu with something for everyone. In fact, when we have family up here this is usually the spot we take them. There aren't any Green Mills in Florida so it's new for them. We always get the spinach and artichoke dip. It comes with bread, but they're really good about substituting gluten free items so I always get the corn chips. The cheese curds are also great. My friend loves their Langostino Lobster & Shrimp. I think he orders this every time we go. When my sister came up on her last visit she chose the Lobster Mac 'n' Cheese and raved about it. They also make a fantastic Strawberry Daquiri Of course there's a full drink menu with several other choices, but my sister and I prefer these. What's great about Green Mill is not only can everyone find something they like, it's also nice on the pocket book. Their prices are comparable with competitors like Applebee's and Chili's.

Went for burgers on a Friday night. We specifically asked our waitress if they made burgers medium…read morerare and she said "yes, she would put it on the ticket". Both of our burgers came out well done. When I told the waitress that they were well done, she said "well I put it on the ticket" and walked away. I tried to take another bite but it really was way overdone and for me it was not worth eating (my husband ate his and said even though it was way overcooked he was too hungry to not eat it). Next time the waitress came around my husband flagged her down and told her that my burger was much worse than his and I really couldn't eat it. She said she would take it off the check , but didn't ask if I would like anything else or have it re-made. Luckily I had ordered a side salad and ended up just having that and eating something else once I got home.
