This place was great - super friendly service, reasonable prices, big portions, AND tasty food! Nothing flashy, but everything we tried was good. We had cheese curds and fried green beans to start, my son got shepherd's pie, and my husband and I both got fish & chips, and we got a little two pack of monster cookies to go for dessert (yum) - we would definitely return here!

Friday bingo is also very fun. Thank you, Lucky sweet always and family and friends back to your restaurant.

Wanted to try a new place for gizzards, teals in Cass lake, MN has the best gizzards since renewing…read morethe batter they use, nice and crispy like Kentucky fried chicken, and a very decent amount for the price. We decided to try gizzards at another place just to compare as we sometimes do, by yelping we found that grace lake bar and grill served them as well, $6.95 for order which is a decent price so we got 3 orders to go along with my son wanting 2 orders of cheese sticks at $8.95 an order to go. When we arrived at a small whole in the wall beer joint, which we have had many a good food, drinks and conversations at these type of establishments. Three nice people were outside in front of the door smoking cigarettes so we waited in our car till they were done. What happened next is the problem, I understand covid has caused a major problem with most places this last couple of years with a lot of food going as take out, short staffs, higher prices and yes, when you do take out it is nice to leave a small tip for those who pack our food up so well and get it ready for us to pick it up, but, most cases we don't leave tips for carry out. My husband has the problem also leaving the receipts unfinished as I have warned several times this can eventually cause a problem like it has now, by not filling out his receipt and lining thru the tip spot and writing in the total this left it to the grace lake establishment to take it upon themselves and add the tip themselves. When my husband noticed that for 3 orders of gizzards ( 24) and 2 orders of cheese sticks (10) our bank account showed a $51.27 charge to our account. When we called grace lake they pulled up the receipt and said that there was nothing he could do because his waitress that checked us out (Aly) said she didn't' do it and he trusted his staff. So who added the extra $8 to our bill??? As far as the food, gizzards not worth the price, like a broasted batter and the cheese sticks well my son said that he guessed he paid for the two big frozen boxes of cheese sticks they had in their freezer. So certainly will not go back for apps for sure, and I'm wondering about the people that go there for drinks what they get charged when they are too drunk to notice on top of a cash tip they might also be give. But, maybe they are smart to fill in the whole receipt instead of being too trusting.

If you fired the owners I would probably give this place 4-5 stars. The regular bartenders are…read moregreat given their working conditions. Rarely is there more than one employee working at a time. They are expected to run the bar and the tables and do all the cooking (of a full menu). For the most part they keep up, are apologetic if they can't, and obviously don't like to make people wait. The last two times we were in there the owner was behind the bar. He is incapable of doing what he asks of his staff. He can't handle the bar and the tables and the cooking. I waited 10 minutes for him to come out of the kitchen so I could pay our bill. When he finally came out and I asked to pay our bill he told me to wait, and turned to talk to his daughter (whose toddler had been behind the bar early playing with the bottles of alcohol). When I told him I had already been waiting he got rude. When my husband said he needed help he got irritated and then he said he had a pile of resumes in the back. I commented that that was not the customers problem. The last time we were in there we had the same problem. I had to go to his wife (the other owner) to pay our bill because he wasn't able to handle the job. We've been coming here for about a year and have repeatedly heard complaints about the lack of staff. I've seen employees, who are off the clock, get up and help the working bartender when they get overwhelmed. We were even there recently and an ex-employee got up and helped out. It's pretty sad when the employees are far more interested in keeping the business running than the owners. If we ever go back (doubtful), we'll only go in if the owners aren't there!

And all my years of doing pulltabs I have never had anyone say something like that. I wasn't even done signing my ticket yet so I did not have a chance to even tip. How tacky and unprofessional is that to be begging for tips. I always tip. I went on to play more and won even more and I did not tip because of her unprofessional behavior. Then we find out after 45 minutes that our ticket never got entered so we waited over an hour for our food! We live locally we have frequented here many times. We're in the food industry as well and we own our own food business but this is probably the last and final time we ever come here. I believe the owner needs to be here every day, especially Monday through Friday. Just disappointed because this place is not up to what it used to be. I understand employees are hard to come. But to have two of them on shift, not give us a good experience is unfortunate. Three out of five stars as I do believe there could be improvement and maybe it will happen.
