    What a find! Thank you IExit! Clean, friendly, fast, efficient, inexpensive and EXCELLENT. Best chicken I have had in a long time. Four piece meal for under $10! You know when you go and there is no grease taste. When the skin is light and crisp. When the coleslaw is creamy, the potato's are perfect and the roll fresh???? A bonanza! We were asked multiply times how things were and offered fresh water twice. I love it. Sorry , no food photos. Too hungry. No leftovers...

    The chicken/ shrimp special!

    I had the special for lunch today and it hit the spot. The chicken/ Shrimp special was served in a very timely manor, in a very clean eating area, and the staff was very friendly and very polite! Did I mention that the food tasted great Their Covid19 procedures are great! I feel very safe getting food from this place!

    I live only about 12 miles from The Broaster and I can't believe I'd never stopped here before. I've always heard good things about it, but it's even a little better than I expected. You order from the counter and then they bring it to your table. The options are burgers, fish, and shrimp, but I'm sure it's the chicken that has built their reputation. I ordered the cod dinner but I couldn't leave without trying the chicken, so I got a drumstick and thigh too. The dinners come with cole slaw, a roll and a potato choice, The cod was fine, with white flakey meat and thin batter. I wish it had a little more flavor. The crinkle-cut fries were good, but I regretted not trying the mashed potatoes and gravy. My two pieces of chicken were excellent.The batter had a nice flavor and just the right amount of crunch, it didn't explode like you were biting into a pinecone. The prices are good. Service was very friendly, and the interior was clean and bright, with lots of big windows. I'll be adding this to my list of frequent lunch destinations.

    Four piece chicken

    Driving through Faribault, we found The Broaster on Yelp. Our GPS didn't do well finding the place. There's also no sign. When we finally found it, we weren't sure it was open. Luckily it was. It's a counter service restaurant. You order and pay and they bring the food to your table. My husband and I ordered the 4 piece chicken dinner to share. It was great broaster chicken. Some pieces were a little hotter than others, but it was all crisp and well seasoned. The chicken itself was tender and juicy. It came with a standard roll with "spread". I'm a butter girl. Nothing to write home about. We had fries, crinkle cut and hot. It also had coleslaw which was tasty and creamy. My mom was along and ordered the cod dinner with a baked potato and coleslaw. The fish had a light batter and tasted fresh. The menu said three pieces but came with four pieces. Our total was $21 which included a soda for Mom. We had water. A tasty little stop. My recommendation is that the put up some kind of sign.

    This broasted chicken is juicy and flavorful yet not greasy at all. It seems like fried chicken off the bat but it's slightly different. Definitely something worth trying once or twice. We had the family pack which gets you a fully loaded meal for 3-4 people for around $22. It includes 4 dinner rolls, 2 sides (cole slaw and potato salad), 8 piece chicken, and a plate of fries. This is a good value. The only reason I'm holding back that 4 star is the texture of the chicken was somewhat inconsistent. I found a few slightly rubbery spots but overall you mostly get juicy and moist chicken.

    Delicious crispy chicken sandwich with fries and baked potato!

    Great place to get good chicken, cod and shrimp. Restaurant itself is very plain but it doesn't matter because the food hits the spot.

    Way better than KFC. Fried chicken, shrimp, and fish are what they're known for, but they do burgers too.

    Good music and decent commercial beer selection. Friendly staff. Usually busy when a band is…read moreplaying, so pack patience.

    I'm a local so I've been visiting Boxers for years now. Breakfast, dinner and occasionally drinks…read more A few weeks ago I went out and had drinks at 10,000 Drops and then I walked over to Boxers where I had 3 drinks and they charged my cc three times. By the third time, I was a bit ticked off because each time, the bartender was very familiar with me as a local. But instead of apologizing, Jo called the bouncer over who walked me out peacefully. This last weekend I had dinner there and on my way out, I stopped by Jo at the bar handed her a $20 and said, "I know I was upset and I don't want her to think I was mad and I didn't want her to to be mad at me". She graciously took the 20 and agreed. My cousin and I went to 10,000 drops, had a few and walked back to Boxers where I was stopped by their check point and another bartender Hailey told them I couldn't come in. I motioned the bouncer over and asked him if I caused him any trouble the last time I was here and he said no. Now, I could see if I was belligerent and had no reason to be mad and while I was being kicked out I caused a scene and acted harshly why they would ban me. But I had a reason to be ticked off, but I wasn't over the top and as the bouncer came over I peacefully walked out. I think it's pretty sad that A. You don't seem to care about paying customers and B. You serve alcohol and don't seem to have even the slightest of tolerance that you would expect from such a notoriously violent bar. So, I won't be returning... you win.
