    Ultimate Bloody Mary
    Amy R.

    Show this place some love and try it. We had wonderful service, food and ambiance. I had checked out the menu prior to dining and knew I had to try the Ultimate Bloody Mary- it didn't disappoint. Absolutely best Bloody Mary I have had in a while and not because of the goodies in it. The mix was great!! The goodies were a meal in itself. Slider, meat sticks, cheese, ham, bacon, chicken wing, cheese, mini donut- it was great!! Other food ordered looked great- French Toast Manitou breakfast Breakfast Melt Turkey Club Service was excellent! Very clean and nice bathrooms- would definitely try again. Nice menu. Nice location!

    What a lovely restaurant in the heart of downtown White Bear Lake (go bears). I was greeted by a super friendly hostess who walked me to a lovely table on the patio under some shade...the perfect spot! I saw so many exciting items on the menu that I will definitely be back! Great eclectic sandwich options. I chose the New Yorker which is similar to a Reuben but I loved that it's named the NY'er since I am a native NY'er (just don't tell the MN natives...I try to blend in). I got it on a gfree bun...oh yay..love that a gfree bun is an option. I also ordered a side Caesar salad (no croutons). It's a buy up option instead of fries or coleslaw. Everything was delish! My waitress Veronica was awesome and was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back to try some of the other sandwich options and if I would have known about the lunch specials...I might have had a 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad for $12!

    We have eaten here several times in the past year and our experiences have been all great! Now that they have new management, the service and food is amazing! This might be one of our new favorite brunch spots. We got the breakfast burrito and biscuits and gravy. Both were very good. I'm always very excited when a place can actually make good biscuits and gravy since so many places make it very bland.

    Went here for the first time after a fall trip to a nearby apple orchard and it was a pretty solid experience. We had a late lunch at 2 so it was fairly empty and staff were friendly. They ran out of the french dip so we all got burgers. Everyone enjoyed their burgers, especially the smash burgers, and the fries were nice and crispy. My swiss mushroom got a little soggy by the end but still tasted great. I also got french onion soup as my side and that was great- good cheese ratio. We also ordered some cherry cokes, and I don't know what they add to it (maybe maraschino cherries juice?) but I really enjoyed it and would order it again, even if it's not like the trademarked cherry coca cola. Overall, it was a cute spot with a nice patio, lots of windows, a bar, and tvs with NFL network playing (makes sense since it was a Sunday). It's not good enough for me to go out of my way to come here since I don't live nearby, but if I happen to be in the area, I would definitely stop in.

    The aftermath of great dining. Manitou Bar & Grill serves up great food and our waitress (Taylor) made the experience better! Started with very meaty but not over spiced Bang Bang Shrimp. Yummy! Hubby went for the meatloaf entree and it's unbelievable that there is a box coming home. Generous portion and excellent flavors. I went with the Prime Rib Dip and am in heaven . Easily one of the best ever. Weather cooperated too! Sitting on the protected patio with light breeze and moderate (low 70s) temps in July cannot be understated. [spoiler alert] Only sad note is Taylor may be leaving end of month.

    Tavern burger

    We came to Manitou on a random Tuesday night around 8 pm and it was very empty and quiet. Getting seated took a second because they were starting to close down and didn't notice us at the host stand for a while. But eventually we got seated and the server was very attentive after that! I ordered the Tavern Burger and it was absolutely delicious! One of the best burgers I've had in awhile. The bread was unique and the toppings were so tasty! I would definitely recommend and hopefully I will be back!

    All you can eat fish fry
    Nicole G.

    First time here and it was a pretty good experience. I appreciate how the restaurant offers reservations... just makes it so much easier for everyone. Unfortunately, I did not see any staff at the hostess stand when I arrived however, my party was already seated. I've heard nothing but fantastic things about the all you can eat fish fry here, so that's what actually brought me here. Fantastic! Fish was hot, crispy, and not greasy; also served with tartar sauce. You also get a generous amount of fries which were great... I love a good zesty fry. Coleslaw was tasty as well. I had to get the mini donuts for dessert and those were delicious. Tasty, hot, and perfectly sugared. There were a few things I'd like to try on the menu... Buffalo chicken wontons, cheese curds, and the burger. I'll have to come back next time I'm in the area. I'd say our waitress wasn't very attentive and not too friendly.... Just kinda felt like she didn't want to be there. However, the food made up for it. Restaurant is large, well lit, and clean.

Their menu is phenomenal: hearty, homestyle meals with a creative twist, and portions that always leave you satisfied. I've tried several dishes over the years, and I'm consistently impressed by the care, quality, and integrity they put into their food. The dishes feel unique and thoughtfully crafted, with flavors that are both comforting and complex. Most recently, I had the pineapple curry, and it completely blew me away. It was plated beautifully and tasted even better than it looked. One thing you absolutely shouldn't skip is the daily specials, they're usually some of the most creative and delicious items on the menu. Their menu is also well labeled for gluten free. Brunch or dinner, Brickhouse is absolutely worth the visit (+ there is outdoor rooftop seating!!). I highly recommend!

Everything was tasty - I really enjoyed the butternut squash carbonara - I normally don't order meatless pasta dishes but this was calling me. I thought about the ribeye but wasn't feeling g the $80 price tag on that. Wide range in prices - some stuff seemed overpriced but others right in range! The creme brûlée was great - the cheesecake wasn't for me but the others liked it! Service was fine - only thing pulling it down a star. I didn't really feel particularly welcomed. It was busy and my wife never got a refill on her soda... but mom did. Wouldn't steer me away but wouldn't bring me back. The decor feels fancy but It's somewhat casual the servers just in tshirts and shorts which is fine - I'm here for the food anyway!

I highly recommend the Original Bagel Sandwich--an everything bagel with bacon, American cheese, and a fried egg--paired with Oliver's hash. The hash has outstanding flavor and is truly a standout. Another favorite is the Scrambler (scrambled eggs with bacon, scallions, mushrooms, peppers, aged cheddar, and Oliver's hash underneath). Again, the flavor is excellent. If you enjoy a little kick, be sure to ask for their homemade hot sauce--it's terrific. I believe the ketchup is made in-house as well, although it's not quite to my taste. My one consistent disappointment with breakfast is that the menu never changes. They don't seem to offer specials, and I would really love to see new items introduced--whether occasionally or seasonally. Adding some variety would make an already great experience even better. I've considered going for lunch, but the current menu doesn't quite draw me in. I tend to go to specialty places for pizza or tacos, and while I'm sure the soup is very good, I can't justify $17 for a bowl. There are burgers and sandwiches as well, but nothing that really stands out to me. Again, introducing lunch specials or rotating items would make a big difference and likely bring me in more often. The atmosphere is excellent--comfortable, inviting, and full of charming little nooks and crannies, along with bar seating. If having a booth is important to you, I recommend making a reservation.
