We then waited about 10 mintues after asking them where are cream was and still did not get served they then brought it out after that. Not the best service but the feeling of the building is very clean. Also did not get a spoon when my icecream came out.

Classic flavors and tasted great with butterscotch. Because it was a hot day, the ice cream was melting pretty fast. Once I bit into the cone, it started dripping immediately so it can get a little messy! Would love to come again before they close for the rest of year in about two weeks.

I would give the shake a solid four stars. The flurry was nothing special but was made with care and the two young women working were efficient and pleasant to deal with.

Menu has the burgers, fries, and shakes you'd expect from a place like this, but also some nice adds like an Elk burger, a BBQ "sloppy joe," a grilled chicken sandwich and even a grilled salmon sandwich. They also bring water bowls and "pup cups" for your dog. The diner's website further explains that they scratch-cook, so you'll wait a bit longer than similar roadside joints, but it's worth it. Nicely located near Lake Winona and its surrounding park, by the way. I liked the breaded fish sandwich and my wife enjoyed the BBQ. The restaurant also makes its root beer, which is almost worth the trip by itself. For families with young kids, there is a playground in the back behind the restaurant. My only dig is the surprisingly skimpy portions of the french fries, sweet potato fries, and such.

I tried the Heath Bar coffee and a combo whole hoagie, which was enough for both me and my husband so very generous portions. The bread was hot and fresh (housemade!) and not soggy from the meat and sauce. While I did enjoy the Heath Bar coffee, it was definitely on the sweeter side. I'd ask for another shot of espresso next time to balance it out or ask for less sweet. Delicious hoagies and great service. I had a great time catching up with my friends here and I'd love to come back again to enjoy their live music!

(Taylor…read moreSwift) Curiosity lured me into this shop back in April after seeing some of their pics online of lower cal, frou-frou coffee drinks. In this case curiosity did not kill the cat! While my first order was not for coffee, I did get to enjoy a delicious pistachio cake shake with protein that tasted like a bit like pistachio pudding, and kept me feeling really full for hours. With the word "nutrition" in the name of the business, I suppose one shouldn't assume the shakes contain ice cream, but there is always hope. My dreams were smashed to smithereens when I discovered that these shakes are meal replacements using Herbalife, but maybe someday it could happen if the shop name changes to Semi Nutrition. At any rate, I was pleasantly surprised upon first sip to not detect any of the chalky aftertaste often associated with meal replacement drinks. Of course conduct your own research on the safety of this or any supplement. I did not experience any shakes after drinking my shake, so from that highly scientific test alone I'm sure it's all safe. I'm not usually on board for meal replacements in general because this gal likes real food, but in this case I was intrigued by their exciting menu. I would return in cases where shakes are easier to deal with than a real meal (for example, when spending hours at the library.) In the future I would love to try out their coffee drinks, protein donuts, or some of the more delicious sounding mixes like Snickerdoodle, Iced Nutella Café, or Lemon Blueberry cheesecake. This shop is a great addition to downtown Winona. Staff is really helpful and friendly, and I love the cozy, cute setup of the side room--it's a perfect area to hang out, study, or work. Swifties and those looking to shake up their diets should appreciate this shop. 4.3 stars.

But the food was very good and the El Patron staff were friendly (and attentive to our dog, bringing a bowl of water for her as soon as we were seated). We both enjoyed the deep fried tacos plate -- really almost too much food for each of us; one is enough for two to split, especially after having the chips and salsa that are brought to the table when you first sit down. Only complaint of sorts is the highway noise from 61, but we needed to be outside with the dog so not really a whole point off, more like a 4.5 score.
