Decided to give this place a try before heading out to a Christmas concert tonight…read more Located right off MN-5 in a small business center strip. They have a small shared parking lot. Was greeted by staff right away and said we can seat ourselves. Inside style was more an older like setting but nice and clean. Walked past the front counter, open kitchen, then mini anti pasta salad bar and then the open mid sized dining room area. Shout out to our server Ally! She provided us with fast and friendly service which made our visit even more pleasant. Got our drinks and breadsticks. Breadsticks were not too thick but thin enough (which I liked) and was good. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo with the added one time salad bar option. I forgot to get the picture but they did have a good variety of options to pick from even though it was a small bar. The salad was good in my opinion. The Chicken Alfredo came out hot and was creamy and delicious. It came with garlic toasts too.

Food made us sick the next day! Plus or was bland, Go here if you want to clean out your system.read more

They comped us our first game because of some technical issues and we used the time we were waiting to partake in some very good cheese curds from the happy hour menu. After bowling we had dinner - a Mega-roni pizza, a VooDoo burger, and a Garage BYO bacon burger. Probably the best bowling ally food I have had. The server told me about their Sunday BYO Bloody Mary Bar - sounded awesome and may have to come back to check it out.

Nice meaty flavor and the bun held up well. The pretzel I thought was a little small, but it tasted ok. Girlfriend appreciated the pasta dish as well. They've got an excellent beer list as well with beers from a variety of places and variety of styles. I don't know Waconia that well, but assume their beer list is one of the best. I wouldn't drive to Waconia just for the food, because it is quite far, but I would happily eat the food again and throw down a couple of beers.

The blue cheese dressing on the salad was great! We liked the pulled pork sandwich however it kind of lacked flavor. It needed more salt or something. We asked for a side of BBQ sauce to "kick it up a notch" but the sauce was lacking too. The sweet potato fries were really good. All in all, we would eat here again.

Parking wasn't great because there was a wedding reception on-site. I ordered the Goddess Bowl, the kids got a burger and Alfredo with Steak.

Great view, nice outdoor dining, laidback atmosphere; overall a great first time experience for us.

Walking in you noticed there's giant chalk signs of the menu. They have a large number of various offerings. From drinks to food. Along with some merch from local artists. The place had a home like vibe to it. There are two levels of the coffee house. Downstairs is where the main action is to order and hang out. Upstairs has more chairs and tables to sit as well view art as well. I had the Monkey tail mocha which was banana and dark chocolate and a southwest chicken with chipotle mayo panini. Both was goods

They have a deli, vast meat selection, and hot food to order! They also have lunch specials so there's really never a bad time to come. Everyone who works here is so friendly, willing to offer help, suggestions, and food pairings. There is a small seating area inside but tables available on the front porch as well! Every visit here for us is a treat, but there are a few items that are consistently at the top of our list. I am absolutely obsessed with their pickle roll-up pasta salad. It's uniquely delicious and has that perfect tangy, savory balance that keeps me coming back for more. Their honey dill smoked salmon is another personal favorite; it's incredibly tender with a beautiful smoky flavor and just the right hint of sweet honey and dill. My husband is equally in love with their maple glaze smoked salmon - it's sweet, rich, and perfectly smoked. And for a quick, satisfying snack, his go-to is always their turkey jerky, which is packed with flavor. Beyond the specialty items, their fresh meats are simply unmatched! We've bought many of their steaks, and they are consistently fantastic (highly recommend their NY strips and tomahawks when you feel fancy). No matter how we grill them, they always turn out incredibly moist and juicy. But the real star in the grilling department I think might just be their brats. Seriously, the casing on these brats is perfection - it crisps up beautifully on the grill, creating that satisfying snap with every bite. I've tried brats from so many places, and none come close to the crispiness and flavor of theirs. The quality, flavor, and unique selection here truly make it a standout. This isn't just a butcher shop; it's honestly a culinary destination! A definite must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-notch meats and delicious prepared foods.
