Shakopee Bowl

Went to here last night with a group of 6:…read more Vibes: the restaurant has a lot of space and accommodations for larger group. They also have a wedding venue and curling arena attached so it is pretty busy every time but I have never waited more than 10 minutes for a table. Food: I got the loaded tater tots as an appetizer. I would say 4/5 for those, they were good I wish there was more bacon but the tot was stuffed with green onion and cheese then it came with queso and bacon on top. I would get them again. As my meal I got the lobster melt and it wasn't my favorite it didn't have as much cheese as I would want and felt like it lacked flavor. I think it would have been better with onions or like a sauce to dip it in. Service: it was a packed Saturday night but our server was attentive and very nice!

I've been to this location a couple of times while visiting a friend in Chaska, and honestly,…read morethat's probably the only reason I'd come back. Every time I leave Crooked Pint, I just end up feeling... unsatisfied. It's not bad, but the food always seems to be missing that extra kick of flavor. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Mad Pepper Juicy Lucy, expecting something spicy but instead, it was completely mild and kind of bland. To make matters worse, the service was pretty slow and our server didn't seem very attentive. If you're just looking to grab a drink and maybe an appetizer during happy hour, it's fine for that. But if you're after a meal that really hits the spot, I'd say there are better options nearby.

The mild buffalo flavor on the wings had a perfect balance of tang and spice and the celery sticks also got tossed in the same sauce.

*Part of my visiting home for the holidays 2008-2009 review series*…read more Oh, Andy's - how I love thee. Maybe it is because I work too hard over the course of the year, or because big city bars aren't all their cracked up to be, but spending a few late December evenings at Andy's strikes me as a nearly perfect way to end the year. The fish on the walls, the numerous softball trophies displaying local athletic prowess, and a neon sign that reminds us all to, "Keep it Golden, Minnesota." What more could you really want? Pitchers run around $7 and its easy to start a tab. Trivia during much of the year is on Friday evenings, but they postpone the competition while the college kids are home. The crowd is quite a bit younger during Spring Break, River City Days, and the Holidays. The crowd is more mixed locals during the rest of the year. My minor critiques of this bar (I'm being tough on them, but come on, I gave them five stars) - from time to time I've strolled upstairs to gawk at the people I went to high school with below; why is nobody ever up there hanging out? My sister responds to this complaint by saying, "Its really cold up there!" When my friends and I have failed to find a table we've gone up there to chill out, narcissistically thinking the party will just follow us - but it never does and we're forced to dart downstairs to grab a table later on. The one positive comment I've heard about the upstairs comes from an out of towner who married a local. She once told me, "It is great to go up there so that I can can spy on who my husband talks to all night." Also, maybe it is the fact that I've had a couple drinks over the course of the evening, but the juke box tends to get LOUD by the end of the night. Man alive, it is hard to have a conversation by the end of the festivities at Andy's. All in all, this is one of my favorite bars in Red Wing. Nothing else nearby can really compare in terms of local get togethers. We'll see you next year! Fun Fact: Locals have been known to refer to this bar as "St. Andrews".

This is also much closer to Park Tavern and now The Block if you want to hop around a bit. I'd completely forgotten about this new location until we came out of Sota Clothing and were looking for a bite to eat. I remember steak night being popular at the old location so I had some confidence in the food already. By recommendation of our lovely waitress we went with the MacDaddy burger. It was soo good. I was hesitant of the sweet pickles - I normally HATE sweet pickles. They are a bit sweet with a kind of Christmas spice to it, like cinnamon or nutmeg. I went with it and left the pickles on the burger. They really do add just be right amount of snap to contrast the creamy 282 sauce. The bun is also nicely toasted and has an almost crisp texture where it meets the burger. This burger definitely rivals some of the others in The Cities. Wash it down with a $3 happy hour beer, and it can't be beat. They also have something going on almost every night of the week. And at a reasonable hour, where I don't feel like I have to ruin my bed time to participate. No, I'm not 80... I just like to be well rested.
