    Curry bowl
    Laura S.

    I went at 11 am on a Friday with a group of girlfriends. We got right in and didn't have to wait. Food: 3/5. I got a mocktail, the Moroccan cheese curds with harissa dipping sauce, curry bowl, and tai wings. The cheese curds and wings were both 5/5. The harissa dipping sauce for the cheese curds in my opinion didn't compliment the curds. The taste was good on its own, but the Moroccan spice on the curds overpowered the dip. The sauce on the wings was so peanut buttery and amazing. The curry bowl was ok, but I wouldn't go back for it. The sweet potato overpowered everything and to me it didn't really taste curry. A fun play on curry, but to me missed the mark. Service: 4/5. We were sat right away and the waitress was very attentive and friendly. The kitchen messed up on one of our orders which was no fault of the waitress. Ambiance: 4/5 This place is small but cozy. I can see in busy times it filling up very fast. Overall the tables and seating was comfortable. I love that this restaurant has many gluten free options. Some of our options were amazing and some missed the mark. Definitely a place to check out if you have food allergies.

    Hercules burger

    The burgers here are hearty and well-prepared. I got a side salad that was good portion and the balsamic dressing was tops. I ordered the Hercules and he ordered the Cowboy with fries. The cocktails are very good to excellent! I can't remember the names, but mine was lavender and Violette Liquer and his was a Rump Shaker, a tequila based drink with spice. Definitely will look this up if we return.

    The staff and venue are good. The patio has nice shade on a sunny day and you can watch Main Street go by. The presentation of the food coming out is beautiful. The food is good and I would say safe if you have picky eaters. I like flavor surprise in my dish so I will stand by food is good, but not woweeee.

    The only thing that as a bummer is the service was a little slow but the server was super sweet and amazing I think she was just the only one on staff that day and there was a large group that arrived. We had the supernova cocktail which was very refreshing. I had the Korean bbq bowl with steak and my friend had the Latin bowl with chicken we were both very happy with our bowls and they were delicious! We sat on the patio and it was nice and shaded. The inside looks fun and hip and has a nice vibe.

    We stopped in here for a quick lunch and were not disappointed! We got the fires basket as an app and had the hardest time deciding what dipping sauce to get! We ended up with the fry sauce and the basil aioli! Honestly all the sauces there are outstanding! We both had stopped across the street before for a drink at the distillery across the street and so we were already on the cocktail train! We got the lavender lemon martini and it was so good I got two! Hands down the best restaurant in downtown Stillwater and dare I say in the twin cities! Make the trip here, you won't be disappointed! I even got a gift card to here for Christmas! The gift that keeps on giving!

    Moroccan Spiced Cheese Curds
    K C.

    Fun 90's themed divey aesthetic. Super friendly servers. Food was amazing!! I was in from out of town and did a search for veg friendly restaurants and this popped up; impressed with the options. The Moroccan spiced cheese curds were totally bangin; we devoured them! Super unique flavor combo that I'm so delighted to have experienced. Drinks had fun names and were very delicious. I chose the strawberry salad and loved that tofu was an option. The spiced cashews really brought the whole thing together! My local friends hadn't been before and after such a wonderful experience have added it to their rotation.

    Great spot in downtown Stillwater! The service was great and the food was fantastic. I would definitely recommend stopping by!

    Korean Bowl
    Luke G.

    Disappointing. We didn't have any drinks, so maybe there's something we missed... but the food is underwhelming. We got the cauliflower wings and I expected crunchy, but they were really soggy. The Po Boi is as doused in too much sauce. The Korean bowl feels like it could have been a frozen dinner. The best thing is n the menu is the Latin bowl. Perfectly cooked rice, good salsa, great seasoning.

    Green Machine Juice

    What a delicious and unique spot in Stillwater! We went to the Wild Hare for a quick lunch while staying in the hotel Crosby next door. This place has a great little patio and funky cocktail bar interior, while still having a full menu to choose from. All the items have a little bit of a twist which was fun to see! Biggest ambiance thing for me was this place was teeming with kids on a Saturday lunch. Given that this is a cocktail bar, I would expect less children but there was a lot of small, screaming children. Not the place's fault, but something to be aware of. Otherwise, service was quick and employees were kind! I started with the Green Machine juice - which I loved that they had this and not just cocktails! If you're looking for something to clear your sinuses this is it. I loved the strong ginger and the fruity/earthy taste. I don't think I would add any alcohol to this one even though it's an option. The other person I was with ordered the Moroccan Cheese Curds and these are a MUST. They're sweet and savory and cheesy in the best way, truly unique and haven't had cheese curds like these before! For lunch I wanted something light so I got the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. These were fresh and flavorful but they definitely have a kick. This mixed with the ginger in my drink had my taste buds a bit overwhelmed and hot so I couldn't taste much after a certain point. I would definitely come back here for apps and drinks with friends!

    Moroccan style cheese curds!
    Destiny H.

    I had some visiting from out of town and we noticed how cute the wild hare looked on the outside and they had a couple patio tables open so we decided to check it out and we were not disappointed! Our waiter was so friendly and was very helpful (sorry I wish I remember his name). When we ordered the cheese curds he suggested ordering Moroccan style. It was something new for our group and it was sooooo good! It added a small unique spin on basic cheese curds. We also ordered onion rings with Moroccan. For drinks, I ordered the lavender haze that was a gin style drink. The lavender was the perfect touch for a hot day on the patio. For my meal, I picked the jerk shrimp po boy. It was ALOT of food and a little messy to eat but it was definitely worth it. I would even suggest sharing it if you didn't want that much food. I can't wait to come back to Stillwater and check this place out again! I would say it's definitely the wait!

The wait at the table was longer than we anticipated but luckily for us, there were some bar seats available. The bartender at the moment was Cameron. He gave us the rundown on the food and drinks and made several recommendations. We started off the evening with the Don Corlone. It was very tasty and also an Andorran Martini. Both drinks were delightful and were semi-sweet but not too sweet. The mixture of the Don Corlione had a perfect blend of citrus and sweetness. We then ordered the pastry puff poppers and they were amazing. The sauce complemented the pastry puffs and the filling left you wanting more. To finish the night we ordered tiramisu, cheesecake, and some bubbles. Thank you Cameron for the amazing service and experience we hope to be back again soon.

I liked how thoughtful Next Stop is of their acts; there are about three guitar stands attached to the wall behind where the musicians set up. I sat @ the table just inside the door. As most bars nearly all tables are hi-top, there was one standard height table w six or eight chairs near the middle of the bar. I felt this was the Townie Bar....full w a bunch of chill, kind folk. I didn't take a picture but there was a laminated sign on my table: For food and drink service please see the bartender. I was pleasantly surprised when everyone stepped out during the music break when the lovely bartender passed by, she stopped to ask if I needed anything? Very kind, as I can read and I knew the request. The bar was pretty full but not squished in like sardines full, nor loud. They have a parking lot, not a lot of spaces, so you just park along the edge/grass of the lot and all is peachy. I enjoyed that a couple few of the regulars ended up moving to the table next to me and danced for a lot of the gig! They were kind and lively ladies! The music was great, the environment comfortable and welcoming, the people friendly and attentive and friendly service; I definitely don't see this being my last visit. I didn't see anything on their social media or website and didn't ask yesterday to find out what's with the fireman theme? I really like it... look up, helmets make some of the light fixtures and there are figurine type things on the higher bar shelves. Next Stop Bar thanks for a fun and memorable inaugural visit, you've definitely made a fan and hopefully a repeat customer out of me, cheers!
