Today, however, we ordered a burger among other things and we were brought the incorrect burger. Our server came to our table and explained he brought the wrong burger. We had already cut and taken a bite of it and said it's okay we will just take what we were brought rather than waiting for a replacement. When we got the bill we were still charged for the burger we ordered even though we didn't receive it. When we asked our waiter, Griffin, why we were charged for it, his comment was "well it was cheaper than what you ate." When we asked to talk to the manager, Sawyer, her comment was "well you ate the burger didn't you?" They did not comp the burger and argued they didn't need too. Bummed we had this experience and will not return.

Considering this place is super new, the service and food was awesome! Tori was a fantastic server!…read moreI had to try the knockout bites, they sounded so interesting and they were great. They are kind of like toasted raviolis filled with cream cheese and jalapeños. Their hand dipped tendies are excellent! And their house made sauce is just as good. My friend really enjoyed her wings and salad. I tried both of her sauces and they were super flavorful, the wings are not fried so do not expect them to be crispy. Overall, I'm looking forward to a return visit.

The brisket eggrolls were boring .. literally brisket, deep fried with BBQ sauce. The steak was unseasoned and served room temp (notice even the butter placed on top did not melt). I specifically asked if the grilled hamberry sandwich was actually grilled.. waiter stated Yes. Well no.. it was pieces of toast with the insides placed between. The cheese was not even melted. Thr saving grace were the mash potatoes and homemade chips .. super flavorful!!!

Olives

Let me be clear that my problem isn't with the service or restaurant itself, it was just the food was horrible.

My mom and I shared the Classic Benedict and a blueberry pancake, and both were delicious. Small surprise: the blueberries came on top instead of baked inside the pancake, but honestly it still hit the spot My sister ordered the breakfast burrito and said it was solid, just not super memorable. My dad enjoyed the California Benedict though he wished he had ordered something with meat. Both the hash browns and sweet potato home fries were delicious. Overall the table was happy! Definitely a great brunch spot with good food, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Would come back!

Cute space ... lots of tables. The staff was very friendly…read more We had the smores pancakes with a side of bacon and the Monte Cristo with fruit. The three pancake stack is HUGE! They were fluffy. The bacon was a bit undercooked and missed a true smoked flavor. The Monte Cristo was flanked with two pieces of French toast. I was not really impressed as the bread fell apart quickly. The jam had a good flavor. I missed the berry jam and the deep fried batter from a traditional sandwich.

Aptly names for our hometown area code, it feels "big city" in our medium-sized town. The food is a solid "Mankato" five stars. We like the sliders, tots, and unique sandwiches- Including a Mac and cheese grilled cheese that carbaholics will love. Service is only a three. The last time we were there it felt over-staffed. Waitresses were waiting around for direction on what to do, yet nobody really tried to talk to us or engage in conversation with us at all. It definitely feels like it's lacking leadership in the front of house. Prices are good, they have an extensive liquor selection and games on the outdoor patio. We will be back.

Each time we've come here (three times and we live in the Twin Cities and only moved to MN from Arizona less than 2 years ago), there are multiple tables of workers breaking for a yummy lunch and chatting in Spanish. This is the food we're all missing from back home. Our absolute favorite is the carne asada burrito. Wonderfully flavored steak, guacamole, pico de gallo, and fresh tortilla paired with some of their zanahorias en escabeche (pickled carrots), delicious medium green salsa for me and spicy hot red for my hubby. So good!! While I waited for our food (they make it fresh), I chatted with one of the workers and lamented that we didn't have a Giliberto's near us in the TC. She let me know there IS one in Blaine, which is close to us! What a great discovery! Our next craving we'll be checking out the Blaine location. Vamonos!
