Uptown burger. Great burger, but I'd upgrade to the waffle fries next time.

Great find. We were in the area and stopped in. It's really a great atmosphere inside, small town bar cool! My burger was fantastic!! Staff was very friendly. It took quite a while for our food, but they were working hard to keep up and we were fine with the delay. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

The servers are fantastic, the bar is traditional dive but the food is so good! It's the best bar food in the state. Such a great place!

My absolute favorite bar in town. I live in the area and my friends and I probably come way too often to drink and dance. Such a fun spot and constantly throwing some type of event, whether it be for Halloween, thanksgiving, just for fun! Food is amazing. Brunch is amazing but the last time we went I felt so bad for our waitress as I could see they were way understaffed and it took an hour to get our food. But it was well worth the wait! All the workers are so nice and extremely hard working. This is a gem and holds a place in my heart!

Heard they serve brunch from 9-12, so decided to try it out today with the family. We arrived at 11 and the placed was PACKED. It's not a very large space to begin with, and there were quite a few large parties and no open tables for our group. We waited about 10 minutes and were able to pull some tables together. We wanted to try the 64oz iced coffee they've posted on social media for $25 but they were not currently offering it, so we all ordered individual boozy iced coffees in a variety of flavors. The coffees were just ok- mine was pretty watered down. The service was very slow today, and our server kept apologizing for the wait. Apparently the dishwasher was broken down as well which was affecting their service. She was the only one working, we felt really bad for her! She was very nice and was doing her best given the circumstances. It was over an hour before we received our food, that was pretty disappointing. The food was really good but not sure if it was worth the wait. I would come back for drinks, but might want to look elsewhere for a meal.

Black & Blue Burger

I dig the vibe inside this small town bar but the black and blue could be avoided. Pretty sad lookin burger... Fun place to drink though! (Skip the Bloodies - Not a great mix)

Homemade tots
Rod S.

Phenomenal. Had been wanting to get here since we moved nearby. Wow- nice tap selection and menu. The homemade tater tots were incredible with bacon, cheese and jalepeno in them. Burgers were made with ribeye meat and seasoned perfectly. Had the Waverly, which had an egg, bacon and one of the tots on it. Perfection wife had a burger with lettuce, tomato and cheese. Onion rings were crispy and tasty also. Nice place- we have found our burger haven now.

Enjoyed our random stop for a drink. We were driving through and based on the yelp pictures/reviews thought we would check it out. The inside is very clean and has lots of tvs, bar seating, and tables or booths. We ordered steak tips that were perfectly cooked and cheese curds. The menu had a variety of burgers, sandwiches, & appetizers...we would have liked to try more but only stopped by for a snack. We enjoyed talking to the bartender and felt very welcomed. Overall a great spot and worth checking out whether you are a local or driving through town.

Decent tap beer selection.  Including Furious.($4.50) Excelsior Big Island...

The perfect embodiment of a well executed gentrification of a small town dive bar. Bring in quality food and beer without the alienation of your core in culture or price. Look outside: Pickup trucks, BMW's, Harley's, Minivans & SUV's. The crowd inside reflects the vehicles outside. You can come here every day for over a week and not repeat on their gourmet burgers. Delicious, creative without being crazy, and affordable. And the menus is so much more. Burger of the month is a Crabby Patty: Crab cake on top of a burger. Delicious and just $9. The staff, like Justin are informative and helpful and appear to be genuinely interested in you. Craft beers. Good selection and also affordable. I understand they stole a Chef from Dangerfield's. I doubt that. This food is far better.

Iron horse has been around for about 20 yrs.. They started great. Husband and wife owners cooked…read moreand ran the business. After divorce, only she ran it. Food was great, staff friendly, live bands, fun place. Stopped in tonight after a few year gap. It's looks a bit run down and dirty. The staff on duty was very friendly and helpful. Food came quickly and it was great! This was a "full" which is like a large pizza size. You can get a half order but it's only a dollar less. Get the full and take home another meal!! Sort of a local working man's bar, biker bar and sports bar mix but you can still bring the family. If you're in the area stop in. Affordable good food, affordable drinks that aren't skimped on. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars was due to cleanliness.

Saw a post about their special on the local Facebook group, so my husband and I decided to try it…read moreout. I have not been to Cokato in the eight years that I have lived in Minnesota, so I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant space is called upstairs, and the bar is downstairs. It was quiet and the ambiance was great. I did not catch her name, but the lady working there was incredible. She was the only one helping the customers, but she did it all with grace. Shout out to her! For the food, we got their special which was the flame grilled steak and grilled walleye. They were delicious. I did not expect the portion to be that big considering it was $23 for the two meals. We also got their Mac Bites appetizer. Those were good as well. I started following them on Facebook after this meal. I hope to catch more special deals here! Tip: It looks like the deals start at 5PM. If you are in a hurry, come as close to 5PM as possible. The upstairs fill fast!
