    I really liked the Lumberyard expect for one thing. Pros Going in the winter is off season due to its proximity to the river and marina. Wait staff were extremely friendly and prompt and the menu offered great choices. We especially loved the fried ranch appetizer which is a take on the State Fair classic. Great options for burgers, sandwiches and pizza. The Lumberyard felt like a cozy cabin and a great place to watch sports. Cons The drinks especially the mocktails, what always gets me is if prices are not published and when the bill came I saw the 4 mocktails were $15.00 each the same price as an Old Fashioned I tend to think "Really". Nevertheless it is a great place and we will be back just ask for prices when they are not published especially for underage kids ordering mocktails.

    Not really sure why the heck this place is scored so low but they definitely deserve at least four stars. Maybe I can help with this review - DO NOT MISS THE CAULIFLOWER BITES. Honorable mention, Mac and cheese bites. Tacos and pizzas seemed like a popular choice as well. Cannot beat this spot on a nice day. Run don't walk my friends!

    My husband and I met our friends at this quaint, Little Bar & Restaurant tonight for Burgers and appetizers. As soon as we walked inside, it was a surprise! We were taken back to a small town cabin bar from Our childhoods. When you first walk in there is a little vintage storefront. Think miniature Crackle Barrel meets tiny Flea Market. The whole place inside has seating room for 30 people top level and 30 people bottom level. There is a cute light-up Patio to sit outside if the weather permits. Our server was Amazing! She was Minnesota sweet and friendly, Attentive, and on it! She made me a custom Jalapeño Margarita while we looked over the menu. We ordered the cauliflower Bites, Cajun seasoned breaded cauliflower tossed in sweet chili sauce and tortilla chips served with queso blanco, fresh guac, and salsa. Both came with a plethora of delicious sauces! Our friends Ordered Bacon cheeseburgers with sweet potato fries and regular fries! The burgers were huge and delicious! I mean look at the photos they don't lie one bit! I loved this place! It's tiny but, you get A ton of Good food, wonderful service, and the price is really reasonable! Give it a try!

    Inside/outside seating that is perfect for spring, summer and fall!

    What can I say about the lumberyard pub? Other than that? It is a must visit if you're in the Afton area! First you enter into Afton, which is one of the sweetest Eastside Minnesota towns you'll ever find! The town is loaded with fun shops, ice cream shop, etc. in the midst of this quaint tone off the St. Croix, you have the lumberyard pub which is waiting for you to step inside! Most people walk in through the backyard patio and make the way right into the bar, which is separated by movable garage doors that are always open and inviting for you to come in and have food, a beer and make memories with the people you're with! I ordered the wings and I was blown away! This little pub does not mess around when it comes to wings because these were the best wings I've ever had! I ordered the boneless wings because I don't like picking through the bones, but I did not expect these boneless wings to be pure white hole chicken breast that they Bread, spice and make all on their own! This is no frozen chicken tenders from a box... These are handmade, hand rolled, hand, breaded, and prepared perfectly for you! Well, these are the only things I've had here, I won't probably not have anything else as these wings are perfect on a spring summer or fall night next to the fire, listening to live music or playing cornhole in the patio area of this hidden gem! Get yourself to lumberyard pub and not to mention, the staff is outstanding! I asked one of the staff members what should I get and she enthusiastically said the food here is incredible And she wasn't wrong! Not to mention, the bartender was an outstanding gentleman who took pride and his work, made me feel like I was his best friend and gave me outstanding service! Lumberyard pub you have my heart!!

    I think the lumberyard pub deserves a better rating on Yelp. We stopped by because of Afton's strawberry festival. The weather is hot and the patio is nicely shaders we were sitting right away and got sit in front of the lawn game area and the live music. The food was Nicely presented l. We shared a Chicago style dog, chicken salad. My parents ordered pub burger and egg salad sandwiches. They liked it. We enjoyed the onion rings. The kids ordered cheese quesadillas and chicken fingers. It's a typical pub food, but it was nicer than all the reviews I saw on Yelp and was surprised to read theirs reviews. The server did forget my lemonade and wish they could come more frequent to refill my water. It is a hot day, so I did drink a lot. Hence taking off one star.

    Food was awesome! Service at the outside whiskey bar was amazing, thanks Lauryn!!! And thanks to Tito's for the free samples.

    Sorry the photos are blurry- It's a video & Yelp won't let me post a video!  Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Fries

    Food is good, staff is always nice, clean atmosphere.... Always has live music on the patio, fun yard games, you can bring your dog- All around good atmosphere!

    Just keeps going downhill from when they had a qualified cook. Menu has changed, no more Lobster Mac and Cheese for example, which the previous cook made as good as anyone. The fried pickles were once great and now they are awful. Amazing that I once recommended this place because now it's simply "Oh My" bad food. Go down the street to Swirl My Wine if you want decent food.

    BLTA bacon well done.

    This was my first time here, but the party I was with have enjoyed this several times and raved…read moreabout their chicken wings. I shared the loaded fries, onion rings, and boneless chicken wings served with ranch and habanero sauce. The chicken wings were my favorite. They had a tasty dry rub on it. I thought the habanero sauce was tame, but tasted great. The fries could have used more seasoning and meat. I actually didn't even realize there was meat in the dish until digging through it. The onion rings were crunch and flavorful. Personally, next time I'd pass ok the loaded fries. I do commend this establishment on their management. I did experience a problem during my meal. A server accidentally dropped a few sides of ranch while delivering the meals, and it landed down the back of my jacket. They not only covered the dry cleaning bill, but also covered the cost of the jacket when the stain did not completely come out. It's the care like this that I will remember and keep me coming back.

Decided to split a few appetizers: onion rings, boneless wings, and fiesta fries. The food was decent overall, but the fiesta fries were a bit disappointing and overly messy with too much cheese (I don't remember them being like that). I'd probably try a sauce on the wings next time. Our server, Nicole, was fine but nothing memorable. Also worth mentioning, gratuity was automatically added to the bill. One thing I appreciate about Ray J's is their large menu with many options. Lots of tv's available for sports watching and pull tabs.

I ordered some non beer options since I'm gluten free which included a mocktail and a root beer float. The root beer float was a 5/5 and the strawberry mocktail was a 4/5. My husband has extremely picky taste when it comes to craft beers and he wasn't that impressed with array of beers he tried. As a side note. We also were a bit hungry but they said the wait was an hour for food so I passed on ordering food. They have options that include - pizza, brats, chips/salsa, wings, etc. On another note there are tons of games and tvs and one includes chive trivia which is a lot of fun.
