Fish n chips

We went here while visiting my wife's family in Sartell. Busy spot for the locals. Definitely pub food style menu. They do have prime rib special on Friday nights, looked OK when I saw it come out. The restaurant is a dive bar and there's a smoking room apparently right when you walk in, we gagged on the smell but it was only in the entry vestibule and not inside the restaurant. Food is very affordable, that's what gets them 2 stars. The waitress was extremely overwhelmed but she was still friendly and did her best. Beer selection is pretty awful and there isn't even a "drink menu" available. After hearing from family how great this place was supposed to be we were unfortunately underwhelmed, likely because we have high standards. Trust me, I love a good dive bar with good drinks, good beer, cheep eats and good atmosphere, this just didn't do it for us personally.

Very good food. Nice dive bar. Wasn't too busy and the food didn't cost an arm and a leg. Will be back! :)

Ordered for pickup, the duck wontons were a huge hit and the Cajun burger was delicious.

Over cooked burger. Terrible over-cooked bone-dry fried chicken. Slow service comes with an apology. Don't.

Very clean and friendly restaurant. Delicious food and lots of it! We filled up on the "Three for…read more$25.00" lunch and still had food to take home.

This is my opinion on the day we went in and do with it as you want…read more When we first arrived, they were busy. There was a Sunday brunch going on. No problem, we ended up waiting, maybe 15 minutes to get a table. There were 4 of us. That wasn't an issue and the staff was great. We got seated at our table and our waiter, I believe his name was Benjamin, was awesome. Great guy, didn't pressure us to order right away. Gave us time to look and would check in on us. All around great service. He was a 5 star! Even the atmosphere, with it being busy, was what you would expect. A lot of people talking and having a good time, no problems, no issues. We were kind of set back in the corner, which I'm thankful for, because we didn't have the noise from the Brunch area. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the food. With 4 people being served, you would think they would get the fries right? They were over seasoned on everyone's plate, horribly over seasoned. You might as well have been dipping them straight into the container of whatever seasoning was on them. Of the 4 orders of French fries, we left 2 orders on the table. I ordered the Gastro Pub Bison Burger, medium. Benjamin even started it was going to have some pink in the middle, and I said yes. The ticket even stated it. I don't know why they even put it on the ticket if they're going to cook it done. The burger ended up being over cooked and dry. It was a Bison burger, so there's plenty of moisture in those burgers when cooked to medium. This thing comes out as a little nothing sized burger. I wasn't impressed with it at all. My wife's order, Spinach and Artichoke Chicken Sandwich, came out good and she ate it all and really enjoyed it. One daughter had ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap. She's had them before at other places and was excited to try their's. Came out ok except for the, what she stated as being too spicy. And again, the fries were over seasoned. My other daughter order a Spicy Dill Flatbread, which turned out really good. She was the only one of us who did like the over seasoned fries. Now when it comes to food, I never send anything back and i don't say anything because we might not be done with ordering. I have the biggest fear about retaliation. You hear the stories from someone you know, of possibly something being a little sketchy when food is reordered or it comes back out, so I just don't do it. I have been here before and it is pretty much the same as I remember it. The staff being great, but the food just being not worth it. The funny thing is it's the Chef's name is on the door when you come in the building. If I was him, I'd be a little embarrassed that his cooking staff can't do a medium burger and do some retraining. At least watch what the cooking staff is doing while preparing food that his name is associated with. I don't need to go back there and eat.
