The 5-star reviews describing this place as a cocktail lounge or having met interesting people must be locals having a laugh at those of us who were looking for something unique in WBL. This is not it. It was loud, full of drunk people shouting at each other, and too busy for the single poor bartender trying to keep everyone served. They had a decent bar for mixed drinks but only serve Heggie's pizza for food. They only take cash--unless you're a regular (then they'll take your plastic). So bring cash, get one drink, and then run down the street to somewhere with a better menu and your choice of whiskeys.

We arrived early at 4 PM on a Sunday afternoon so the place was not yet packed. By the time we left at 5:30 most of the tables indoors were full. You wait for the hostess to seat you. We took a hightop. They have a big outdoor patio area, but it was 90° that day so we opted to stay inside. Service was great and friendly and fast. Our Party ordered the following: Nashville fried chicken - chicken was crispy and just a little bit spicy. It was a bit greasy, but that is expected. The server said it was their best sandwich. That's my jam - this had cream cheese and habanero, bacon jam, but we couldn't really taste the habanero. But it was good nonetheless. Campfire burger - two of our Party ordered this and they thought the combination of the peanut butter with a spicy lingonberry jam was really good. The chips that come with the sandwiches are amazing. Don't even think of switching to something else. I also had the bloody Mary, which was a good mix, but not very spicy. I was wondering why they gave me Tabasco on the table. The burgers are huge, maybe a third or a half pound of beef and well worth the price. Overall, it is worth the 40 minute drive to White Bear Lake and won't mind stopping by if we were in the area again.

Two of them snacking on them throughout the night and they still never finished them. Thanks for the good service and the filling meal, Dog House!

I've gone in, ordered a beer, maybe played some pinball and get one of these to go cause they can slide it in a bag old school style. And sadly, Heggie's, made in a good oven, is probably gonna be better then what you are going to get at some of the places around. Wanna watch a game? Shoot pool? Darts? Pinball? Chill and just hang out? Ted's has it all. Just don't be an asshole.
