My wife and I drove up to St. Cloud from the Cities and decided to stop in for lunch. We ordered…read morethe wood smoked platter for her and I went with the spicy rotisserie chicken sandwich. For our starter we tried the firecracker shrimp. The shrimp were decent, a little on the sweeter side, and the cornbread ended up being gooey in the middle which threw it off for us. The spicy rotisserie chicken sandwich actually had good flavor but because they put it on a regular bun it didn't hold up at all. The liquid from the chicken soaked right through and the whole thing kept falling apart so it was hard to enjoy. Service was okay, nothing bad but nothing that stood out either. Overall we weren't really impressed with the experience. Might try something different next time we are in the area.

Mid afternoon on a Saturday the bar was lively and a few outdoor tables too. Service was spotty with just one or two servers trying to do it all. Read the menu carefully when ordering a burger because some of them have sour cream or cream cheese dip on them, which I did not expect. Two of our burgers were a bit overcooked and one was a black hard hockey puck. The server had the cooks remake that one and it was the best. I'd recommend that burger with mushrooms.

When someone who works there still chooses to eat there on their free time, you're not just ordering food--you're stepping into a trusted insider experience. This is the kind of plate that makes you pause mid‑bite, look around, and think, "Yep... this is exactly where I'm supposed to be right now." And you just know happy hour is about to hit different with premium beverages.

It's home to the beautiful, calm, and peaceful Sauk River. Geese, ducks, ducklings, and a garden to enjoy the view of the river. Inside, there's a warm, welcoming, and hospitable atmosphere. Jaclin is very friendly and professional. The family had a great time, and the geese were happy since we gave them some snacks. Among other things, as a chef, I recommend the Spam skewers--yes, Spam--and the BBQ ribs, which are fantastic. Good selection of drinks, and behind the bar, very skilled hands. Until next time...

The popover was the star of the show with its giant size and a delish honey butter paired with it. The moonshine sirloin was flavorful and I definitely would get it again. The duck breast was not my favorite and honestly, I was expecting more for the price and after it was talked up to be a favorite. But overall I'd love to come again in the summer when the weather is nice and I can see the river!
