Never been to Park Rapids and was excited to come to surprise my friend. Were were meeting at the…read moreRoyal Bar. My first time. I arrived first and sat at the bar. It was relatively busy when I arrived but found a spot at the bar. A lady behind the bar saw me and immediately looked away. I overheard a waitress come up to her behind the bar(right in front of me)and ask how to split a check and she told her she didn't have time for that shit today. I waited for about 5 minutes for her to take my drink order. I ordered and moved to a table to wait for my friends to arrive. We ordered 4 shots and they come right away but the waitress disappeared for awhile. We ordered drinks and food finally....while ordering the waitress didn't think we were ordering fast enough and said "if you guys aren't ready I'll just come back"....while we were ordering.....overall...food was excellent but everything else was a joke! Another waitress was stomping around and throwing chairs down like it was an event....it was a lot. I came to spend money and have a good time and we left. Spent our money elsewhere. Kudos to the cook! You a real one! Our server never greeted our table, never told us any specials, never introduced herself the entire time we were there. So upon leaving I had to ask what her name was....Rochelle.

The "bar" was completely dead, only two other people there, now I know why... Our eight person party left and won't be back. Totally rude staff from beginning to end.

You order at the counter and food is brought out to you. The pepperoni pizza was decent, but nothing crazy. The pickle pizza was absolutely delicious and unique, although I think the chicken tasted a little bit burnt. I would definitely order the pickle pizza again, although I would likely ask for no chicken. The prices for the pizza were also a little bit elevated, although although the brews were very fairly priced. We tried a flight of four for $13 and that was a great value. There were some very unique flavors and something for everyone which we really liked. I also appreciated that they let you keep the card with the selected flavors on it so you know which ones you have. I would definitely stop by here again.

In fact I heard their pizzas are fire so will be going back, before I leave, in two days to see for myself.

They had a pool table which was cool to hangout and play a couple rounds while snacking off their variety of different food options. Not only did they have a great selection of beverages with all kinds of flavors but they also have some lighter options if hard liquor isn't your best friend. Offering an outside patio, there was plenty of seating & nice view of the lake. Definitely coming back before skipping town!

I had the walleye dinner and it was very good, wife had the Steak Tips {steak bites} off the special happy hour menu and she loved them. Boys had a Walleye sandwich and a cheeseburger...both were good. We had the walleye bites to start off and they were good too. Service was a bit flighty, but not terrible.

Tasted like a more watered down V8 (the beer was Busch lite, which could have been why). We talked to the owner while there and she was super friendly. Can't wait to go back for food and events!
