We found a spot at the bar and the bartender greeted us immediately. We ordered drinks and checked out the fun shots menu on the wall. He said he didn't really know those shots so we just ordered a shot that we knew. He accidentally put something wrong in it but we tasted it. It was good so we drank it. He was a good vibe and nothing about this interaction was a negative!! We got the loaded tots and 2 burgers. The loaded tots had too many onions for my liking but they were still good and we were pleasantly surprised by the burgers! In the end we ended up coming back the next day too just because we could. Got the nachos and we weren't sad! My one negative, but I didn't remove a star because it would seem I'm in the minority, which i don't understand... live music. They had a band come in towards the end of our visit, which is what ultimately made it the end of our visit. The place is small, the band is loud.. conversing with friends ends at the point that the band starts. All in all.. highly recommend this place. Full bar, really good menu. And we'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area, just earlier in the day to avoid the live music! ;)

I ordered the unlimited fish fry and got the last serving around 8 PM. Not sure if I loved the fish (not realizing it was not walleye) but the breading was OK. I loved the fries that they called "swindlers". It was a steal for $14. I also ordered a side salad that I was impressed by the lettuce being more of a mixed green rather than iceberg. We were there when they were doing charity raffles for meat and other prizes. It was a fun atmosphere. The hubby really enjoyed his Buffalo boneless wings that were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sauce was not too spicy for him. Based on all the reviews, maybe stick to the walleye!

I highly suggest the ham and cheese balls with moonshine sauce as an appetizer. The fish sandwich is very well proportioned and filling! I really haven't had one bad item, ever! The burgers are fantastic and the Castle Cream Ale is very cold in washing down the last bite. The beef is from the local meat market so if you need some good cuts of meat for the lake house/campsite/etc. be sure to stop by Thielen's Meats one block north! The wraps kick butt! Spend a day on the lake, then head to Bootlegger's for a great meal and a cold brew. Don't forget to buy a t-shirt! They are great conversation starters when you leave the wilds of Minnesota and return to the grind of the real world!

Four of us in the party, two meals were acceptable the other two , not so much. We were told that the corned beef was homemade but what we got was canned.

We did mention the failure but got only an explanation that the regular cook was called away. Might try it again to allow for a "bad day" but then again.......

The odd part is you buy the burger but don't get any sides. Long story to say the 2fer got us two dollars off the total. HA! Anyway, the burgers were delicious. Love the ciabatta bread. Nice and juicy burger. We got tots as our side and they were nice and crispy. Yummm Staff was great. Appreciate that the restaurant was open on Monday night as that tends to be when they all are closed. They have a nice spot next to the water and if it wasn't 45 degrees, it would be a great place to dine and have a beer. Lots of beers on tap as well. Free popcorn. Good stop.

Though they are just a cooked from frozen patty they must toast and butter that burger bun and it's just the burger taste great! They do not have a large menu but typical bar food. I haven't been here since last winter, but since I was last here they have expanded the building and double the seating area and have done some other upgrades. This place is definitely full of locals and everyone is going to stare at you when you come in. It's super uncomfortable but it stops after a few minutes. I have easily been here at least 30 times and will continue to come here. I love these little family own bars. And eating and drinking here supports a small community business.

I hate to do this, because my family frequents the local establishments frequently. But my mom made…read morereservations for our family over a week prior to our entire family (20 people) to have dinner and celebrate their 40th anniversary. Our waitress immediately seemed uninterested in making this night special for anyone. We tried engaging her to no avail. My sister even wrote her order down for her to help save some time...and inevitably she ended up getting her food dead last. I actually think the server forgot to put her order in all together, which sucks because my sister had a 2 and 5 year old who were starving. I ordered the prime rib special, which came out COLD. We also asked to have my parents bill split between 4 of us, but that was apparently a huge hassle. Bottom line. Go to Muggs. This place doesn't value the local dollar or the people who frequent their establishment. I would never return!

Ok... So where to begin? I'll start by saying the outdoor patio (assume it is new) was very nice…read more However, that is where our compliments end. We drove from Garrison to Wahkon specifically to try this restaurant, as it was our 17-year wedding anniversary. When we arrived, we asked to be seated at a corner table on the patio as we wanted a quieter area for conversation with the other couple with us. After we were seated, we seemed to be forgotten. After 10 minutes with no service, my husband went to the host stand asking for our server. It took another 4 minutes for her to arrive... She didn't apologize for the delay, and after a few comments from us she said no one told her we were there. So... We ordered our drinks and food at the same time. My soup was brought out almost 5 minutes after the others. The drinks were brought out after the soup and one of our drinks was missing. The baked potato soup was soupy with hardly any potatoes in it. My medium steak was rare and had to be sent back. The prime rib was served without horseradish and we had to remind her to bring it. The prime rib was cold upon arrival. Our table did not have any condiments (the other tables all had a condiment stand with ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, etc.) and none were ever offered our brought. Oh, and by the time she returned for me to send my steak back, the others were pretty much done eating. When the server brought our check, she did apologize for our inconvenience, but no effort was made to comp our bill or ensure our satisfaction. (We were so ready to go at this point we did not ask for a manager). So disappointing... And they really weren't all that busy.

Even the ones I find usually have few choices to eat from and the food isn't that good. That's why I absolutely loved my visit to block North. It's something that could've been located in my own neighborhood in Saint Paul. Starting with the beer, they have an excellent selection of styles. I chose the Saison, which is far less common in Minnesota breweries than I would like. It was excellent. For lunch, I chose the ratatouille and added shrimp. They were served with the vegetable of the day, green beans. The serving size was enormous which can also be inversely related to quality, but not here. The green beans were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The ratatouille was lovely with chunks of eggplant and zucchini plus a mushroom on the side. This meal was just delightful. I was by myself, so I sat out the bar. The bartender was friendly, but not overbearing. There were many other items on the menu I would've loved to have tried. I will definitely stop here again in the future.
