A great Bar and Grill! A very nice menu with lots of variety. Good for family dinners, caters weddings, and offers room for smaller events. The food is good and staff is wonderful. My favorites are the quesadilla, pulled pork options, the brisket, yakisoba, and Ribs. The portions are never lacking, so your getting your money's worth. read more

Service sucks, food is ok. Salad bar is missing key ingredients. Bartender obviously hates his job and takes it out on the customers.

Yelp has the wrong directions! It's next to Auto Value and across from Family Dollar. Great burgers! Cool place. Would go again!! read more

Back in the hometown after a decade (possibly more) to tour my oldest through UMM. This place was off the radar for me as a teenager and I've never been. Service was good. The vibe was a little like we were on display - lots of "who is that" stares from other tables which was weird - you can tell it is a place that caters to a lot of regulars. I wanted to try the brisket but they were out. Got the ribs instead - very good. Loved the BBQ sauce. Kid got onion rings (solid) and the salad bar, which you could tell was ready to be closed - picked over but she got what she wanted. Surprised that they had a couple of solid craft beer options. I'd come here again if I ever get back to town. Recommend. read more

I usually eat here 1-2 times a year, basically to remind myself how bad it sucks. The bar is small and doesn't have a good time party vibe and never has. Strange atmosphere, poor to mediocre service and food that lacks everything good. read more

We were at the Old #1 tonight, Feb. 1, 2020 at 7pm. We ordered our appetizer at 7:10 and it arrived at 820... we ordered the "Supreme Nachos" so it wasn't hard to put together. The whole plate was $12 something and consisted of chips, meat, cheese, a handful of tomatoes in chunks, and two jalapeños slices (no lettuce, olives, salsa, sour cream, onions, or anything else on a supreme...) I will say the bartender apologized for being "busy" see pic... the taco meat on the chips waS actually tasty but we won't be going back. read more

Old No. 1 Bar & Grill - Busy bar. - Bars Near Me - Morris, Minnesota

See all

Service was extremely slow. We were a party of four and had arrived before several other tables, and we were very last to get our food. We arrived early, about 5:30. My steak was over done; ruined. We ordered the New Year's Eve special, so it should have been quicker and better tasting. It was a special that was supposed to come with cheesecake as part of the deal. But because our food took so long to come, the dessert was gone when we were ready for it. Instead of cheesecake that we had been promised as part of the special, we got a small cup of soft serve ice cream. Very disappointing. Would not have ordered the special if we had known we wouldn't get the cheese cake. Also, people stared at us when we walked in, and stared at us when we got up to go the bathroom. Does this restaurant ever serve people from out of town??? The states made us uncomfortable. Small town rudeness. We are from Minnesota and our friends were from Wisconsin, so we are not local, but there is nothing odd or funny looking about us! read more

My food was okay, but many members of my group had complaints. The server was okay. Many parts of their menu weren't available do to frier space! What? Wouldn't normally chose to go back. read more

I had a veggie pizza. BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Very friendly staff. Will go back in a heartbeat!

Unreliable service. My spinach & artichoke dip was burnt and crispy. The same Lakeland hamburger buns you can buy at the grocery store are used for their burgers here, and they're not even toasted. Their fries are completely unseasoned. At this rate, you're better off ordering from McDonald's. read more

Adequate. The food is very average. A pretty wide menu which I am very suspect of. Hard to imagine the steaks, Mexican, Greek and Japanese food are all that good. We stuck to basic bar food, a burger, chicken sandwich, wrap and pizza. It was all ok, fries were cold. Two stars for food. Four stars for friendly service. Lots of smiles, super friendly attentive service! Where else are you going to go in Morris? read more

Are you kidding me?!?! This place should be on Kitchen Nightmares! Gordon Ramsey would puke! Whoever the cook is should be fired! Wings are inedible! Over fried for the third time they seemed. Cougar pizza? Forget about it! A bunch of fake cheese and a few toppings thrown on it! Don't go here! 20 guys went here and half ordered wings and couldn't even eat them! The beer must keep this place in business. One star because it's the only way to submit the review. read more

Traveling through town and found this one on Yelp. I had the new beef brisket sliders. The sandwiches were great. The fries were crisp and tasty. My wife had the sweet potato waffle fries and they were even better. She loved her fish sandwich. read more

Old number one has some of the best food I've ever had and the customer service is amazing

I had the brisket sandwich and it was fantastic. There was a tasty crust on the brisket just like it's supposed to have. They tossed it in the perfect amount of tasty BBQ sauce but the sandwich would be just as good without it. My only regret was getting the salad bar. It was very slow people wise in there and the items needed attention. You could tell by looking at them that they should have been removed because nobody had touched them for some time. There was also not much of a selection either. On the plus side again, the service was good and the staff were very smiley. read more

I'm hoping to bring it up to 3 stars here... Old Number 1 is a place that I don't mind bringing the kids for lunch or dinner. We even have business meeting here from time to time- their Lunch buffet is actually really good (although I don't typically see too many people ordering it). The staff is friendly- they'll throw Grenadine in your soda if you ask for it and keep the refills coming (usually). The food is average- but consistent. I've never had sub-par food here. The burgers are well sized, and you get lots of fries. Again- only 3 stars because the food is average to just above- but this place really is worth going to. read more

For Morris, its the best you'll get. The bar food is tolerable. The beer is wet. Free popcorn! Usually always pretty clean which helps. read more

The best thing I can say about the Old No 1 is that is has great history on its menu and the parking lot is big. Please don't think for more than minute that this is anything other than a bar that serves food. I'm going to guess that if you're in Morris when the college is in session the Old No 1 is a hopping joint. Our server was slow and far more interested in talking to her friends a booth over, than in waiting on tables. I ordered an ice tea and asked for an artificial sweetener, and she asked me what that was. Really, am I the only person who has ever asked. I ordered Nachos Supreme and my son had a burger [like I said bar food]. The nachos were pretty good, very spicy and it's a big plate. My son said the burger was good, but the fries where just what you get from the freezer at home. Anyhow this cost us $29. I wasn't thrilled and know I won't be returning here when I visit Morris in the future. read more

Stopped by the establishment during the fair on a Saturday around 6:00pm. Although there was hardly a soul in there, service was slow. It took us 35 minutes to get a pizza and burger. The Diet Coke in the gun was FLAT. The server was terrible. She never checked on us to see if everything was okay - it wasn't. No napkins with the appetizer nor plates. We had to go and get our own refills at the bar because she was busy hiding in the back. I think any time I see a "Cooks Wanted" sign, I will be aware from now on. Food was okay. Too much BBQ sauce on pizza. Burger was good though. Funny thing - we are great tippers but this missed the mark. Sorry guys. read more

This place is in a town of 271 people. The bar is in great shape. Has recliners and a couch. Great place to find at the start of the Great Plains. read more

Old No. 1 Bar & Grill - The bar - Bars Near Me - Morris, Minnesota

The atmosphere here is awesome! The food was incredible! I loved my Chicken Bacon Wrap with chips. Service was also really good and really fast! Will definitely return! read more

Open, clean and friendly place. Good service and beer!! I really like all of the decor and different areas. Nice big screen tvs. We didn't eat but will next time we are on town. read more

I'm not a picky eater nor is my buddy who was with for supper this evening. This food was horrible. I had the gyro which had dry tough meat, cucumber sauce was not only lacking initial flavor, but had a horrid aftertaste. wings were from what I can only imagine as a sparrow, buffalo sauce was very plane, blue cheese dressing cheap and oily. Friend had the famous fish tacos which he couldn't finish eating because they were so dried out. My sweet potato fries were cold like out of the fridge cold. Bottom line food was not good and it can't all be the cooks fault. Won't go back read more

Only leaving 2 because earlier in the day the server was amazing and hustling all of her tables. Over the course of 2 nights, we got the same.server and she left our table without asking for refills and ignoring our party. This place is overpriced for the food choices 'not many in the area' and to get bad service on top was ridiculous. At least if you overcharge, be nice and deliver service. You could have made money. read more

Hit the jackpot with this stop! Our family travels on highway 59 during the summer and has always wondered why Morris didn't have a good place to stop for a break, well we finally found it! Good food, good service, and great atmosphere. read more

The food is disgusting. Don't waste your time on a soggy burger and strangely crunchy fries when you can have a better burger at Don's cafe for less. read more

Good atmosphere. The food is ok. If Morris had alternatives I would go elsewhere. The Wednesday beer and wing special is definately worth it. read more

Came here for dinner. The menu is extensive, from appetizers to dessert,wraps, burgers, salads, sandwiches, soup, dinners and combo meals. I ordered the hot ham and cheese sandwich with fries. The portions were large. Granddaughter ordered a wrap, wasn't able to finish. They also have a full bar and banquet room. read more

Food is average at best. Service maybe worst I have ever had. Waitresses just standing around. Messed up our order, we chased a waitress down to get our salads that we asked before meal, waitress said will get them over and then brought them out with our meal. read more

Meh. All our Food was bland. And i mean all. From the Burger being over cooked to fries that tasted like I made in the oven at home. No matter the salt or ketchup, they still were boring. Beer cheese soup and chicken ranch wrap needed more love as well. The atmosphere was awesome and staff was good. Just wasn't impressed with the food for the price. I hope management sees this review and improves the love in the kitchen. Neat place. Just needs some TLC In the kitchen. read more

Meh. Burger basket lunch special was fine, but we sat 10 minutes before anyone noticed we were there.

This is one of my top two favorite restaurants in Morris, it is very family friendly and wholesome. If you are looking for a good filling meal go to Old No. 1. read more

Good atmosphere, great food, beer is cold, plus 15 different tap beers, decor is awesome always something to look at, big flat screen TVs and free popcorn! There's even a private room with its own TV for conferences to parties. Overall it's a great place to bring the family or go out for a drink. read more

A GREAT place to eat! Nice decor, friendly staff and fabulous chef! The fries were hot and crispy and the burger special was simply AWESOME! "Fire-burger".... pepperjack cheese, deep fried jalapenos and a hot sauce/thousand island type dressing on top of that. Absolutely fabulous...we'll be back again! read more

Our Kiwanis club meets here and the meals over the years have been great! Because of that we also come for supper and love the food.

Our duck hunting group brought in the local farmers (who we rent the local slough from) to a complimentary dinner at your restaurant. The salad bar was anemic; no tomatoes (at this time of year????) and the cucs had a bad taste; the outer tissue on the cucumbers was clear and almost told me that they had been frozen. The greens were white. I should not have to tell you that greens should be predominantly green. When my husband got our pizza, I cannot tell you how disgusting it was. Who wants three inch diameter slabs of fatty brisket on a pizza?? Who wants a half gallon of BBQ sauce on it? I have to tell you that my husband will eat a whole pizza no problem, even a Red Baron or Totinos and think it is absolutely delicious; plus he came in famished after hunting all morning and afternoon. He is not picky. But even he could not eat two pieces of that pizza. and he literally choked that one down (as I did). We brought 80% of it home and divvied it up between our chickens and dog. Seriously. The man who sat next to me (who we were treating) and who I had to cut up his steak (since he is missing an arm), quietly complained that his steak was cold. I then proceeded to cut up his potato which was so underdone as to be as about as tough as undercooked steak. The man who sat across from the one-armed man complained that his steak was cold and his potato was underdone. Did you get a new incompetent cook? We paid a ton of money to have a nice dinner for the local farmers and it was such a disappointment. I for one will inform the hunting club that if they bring a grill and a cooler, I will make them all a better meal than your restaurant provided------for free!!!! I hope to the goads that I do not have to go there again. I just tag along as a hunter wife, but I would rather go hungry with a pack of crackers and cheese than be exposed to your gross food again. read more
