They have a really good steak i ate there twice staff was on point I will go back when im town the next time

The owner will do anything to save a penny. Your tomatoes probably had mold cut off of them. The chicken turnes to liquid and he still serves it. Wings are always rotten. Sloppy jos have mold scraped off the top. Yum. read more

I thought their burgers were absolutely amazing. Charbroiled and fresh. A nice variety of sides and an excellent selection of beers. The young man behind the counter was handling things beautifully. He was on top of his game. If you are from the area, don't be intimidated by all of the pool tables and groups playing. We felt very comfortable here as Sconnies, and I would definitely come back. read more

They have great service! Glass was always full! All of the food was very good! There's a lot of games you can play! And a FISH TANK!!

Food- food was good Service- waaaay behind the curve as evidenced by the f-bombs coming from the kitchen area. We saw only one server who was literally running between tables, serving all areas. Shame on management (unless the young man serving was the management, then shame on him.) Ambiance- terrible. Booths, tables and outdoor patio had a funky smell, reminiscent of an old smoky bar. We did not feel like it was a pleasure waiting or serving us . Instead, it was hurry up and order and don't bother me. BE AWARE: ELEGANT DINING ELSEWHERE. read more

We love the Totchos and the plethora of wing toppings. We come here pretty often and the food is consistent.

They have GLUTEN FREE buns! They didn't advertise this so was pleasantly surprised when I stopped for lunch. I wish more places would advertise this on their menu. I had a burger basket. Very good. Service was great! read more

Food was not good. Cold also. Service was not nice trying to play pool yelled at us. It looked pretty cool tho. Food under the table but it's ok. read more

Always a great place to go with family and friends. Food is great and you can enjoy visiting with those you go with because you don't need to shout over over loud music. Staff is helpful and grateful for you coming to them! read more

Stopped in for lunch and the service was super fast. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. My entire family enjoyed the food but the place did smell like state smoke. read more

Service was absolutely horrible. The lady working was very rude to my whole family. Do not recommend this place. Plenty of other great options in this wonderful town. read more

This place was just ok. The inside smelled like an old bar that had been smoked in for years so we decided to sit outside. There weren't many people there but the one server we saw seemed annoyed that we came in. The food arrived quickly and was mediocre. read more

Yes I love this place, I love there bar baskets and everything else on their menu, so yeah I recommend this place a lot.

My brother and I were traveling through and stopped for lunch and were pleasantly welcomed with a full dining area, multiple age groups and lots of laughter and smiling faces. We later learned it was BINGO!! Even though they were busy, the food was fast and delicious. Definitely try the fries, they were awesome! Looking for great food, fun atmosphere and new adventures...check out the Wooden Nickel!! Great find, you won't regret it! read more

My 2nd time to the Wooden Nickel with my significant other. We went for the BINGO marathon and left mega thrilled with everyone we met, the delicious food i ate, the great drinks...the fun memories we made and my boyfriend left with $180 from the pull tabs. Definitely worth the drive from Sioux Falls in the snow. read more

I can tell you why wouldn't nickel should be better because the owner is selfish the food is okay but when you're having a big breakfast and you find a pubic hair in there on somebody's body it's gross you tell them and they don't even get you anymore food the prices are high but the place is greasy they got some good food they play pool the business is going down here and the owners and a****** I'll be on to take you out and when someone tries to get hired there anybody and another company tells them not to hire him that's slander I mean I wouldn't mind there but I would have to make sure that I don't get a hair from somebody else's body or if the food is perfect right and if they're over staffed and their beer prices are huge and high I don't know why they would have a bar in a restaurant like that they've been bingo it's really good but people are rude and nauseous there and I'll be honest with you I think he can get pet food poisoning there I'm not I'm having fun back in there for a while but my wife is pregnant and she got sick off the food we called several times and maybe do anything for us until I reckon it yet go to the pub or go to seven more Applebee's have some better place but if you want to go to wooden nickel and get a pubic hair or food poisoning and go ahead but I wouldn't recommend it the food is not good and I'm wondering if the the people that work there wash their hands and all that the owner is a real a****** when when you're there and the people he has hired they need to check their self because yeah it's a good place to go play bingo and hang out but I wouldn't bury the food there anymore I will want to get sick I choked on one of their chicken bones one time then they didn't do anything about it I recommend to go somewhere else and make the pub because yeah it's a little bit more high but they got good food and good quality read more

From the time you enter, the experience is kind, friendly, and quick to help! I'm originally from Texas and I travel regularly, so trying to find good food, especially in a small town, is very difficult to do. I had a black and blue bison burger with bacon and jalapenos. The patty was crisp on the edges, and cooked well in the middle, all without drying out the patty. That it's hard to pull if on such a lean meat as bison. The fries were really nice with a good crisp, but soft in the middle. From what I can tell, the fries are lightly battered. Overall, the food was fantastic and the service matched the food. The food would easily work well in a large busy city and still stand out from the completion. Good job Wooden Nickel! read more

Wooden Nickel - Black and Blue Buson burger with jalapenos! SO delicious! - Diners Near Me - Marshall, Minnesota

Traveling through, we decided to stop here for lunch. Wow!! T said it best when she said, "This is the best sandwich I've had in a long time." We shared the Poultine Burrito with Sweet Potato Fries. Amazing! Portion was quite large. (Tough choice though, because a lot of great menu choices.) Great service. Mentioned we were going to share when we placed the order. The sandwich came split with a pickle in each basket. For me, little touches make the experience. Great soundtrack! Be advised, place is a bit aged, but still pretty classy. read more

Stopped here on our way through town around 1 pm. The place was pretty much empty, but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves! The waitress was friendly and made a solid recommendation on the fries. The food is reasonably priced with creative, but familiar, ideas. I especially like all the choices of sides and flavor of fries. The Cajun seasoning was my favorite. read more

Was somewhat of a disappointment here tonight. I ordered a Chicken Fried Steak with gravy, it looked quite unusual by its size and shape. Imagine my surprise when I cut into it and found a dry piece of fried chicken breast. The manager came to apologize when I told him I was looking forward to beef steak. He said it wasn't described that way on the menu but he would void it on our bill. Looked at the menu the description said steak, chicken fried. He asked if I'd like to order something else, but it took so long to get our order, the other guests would be finished by the time I had it replaced. I tried some of the Buffalo chicken flatbread from my wife's plate, but the chicken on it was also very dry and hard to eat. Our friend, also, told us his French Dip was also a disappointment. read more

I went during the day like around 1pm so we didnt have to wait too long for our food.. the waiter was kinda displeasing she seemed like she hates her job and was not friendly jist tryjng to get her shift over with... but besides that we didnt have to wait long for anything we asked for.. what made this place so great was the food! Definitely a different style of food but in a good way. They had alot of opinions to choose from and a great famiy environment. I definitely recommend going here but i do hear that this place gets PACKED and you might have to wait longer then we did.. but overall best burgers in the area in my opinion read more

Ashley provided phenomenal service for our huge group in the back room! She was also working the floor and the patio. She kept track of every order, even though they were coming in at sporadic intervals. She had an amazing demeanor, and made sure we were always taken care of. The food was delicious. We tried the wings, cheese curds, pretzel bites, burgers, and...totchos! Tater tots layered in sour cream, bacon, chives, and smoked cheddar cheese. We will absolutely be back! read more

the only saving grace for this place was the waiter. seriously awesome dude. otherwise, we will not be dining here ever again. we ordered a Hawaiian burger with (hardly any) fries, 2 orders of (over-sauced) boneless wings, (under-cooked) fried pickles, 2 sodas and 2 beers (they tried to charge us for 3) and our total was $75! no fries with the wings and the burger was TINY. the atmosphere was cold, dark and dingy and smelled like a bar in 1998! so dissapmounted read more

Waitress was wonderful but the food took 50 minutes to come out of the kitchen and was cold when it came to the table.

For a college bar/restaurant the food is passable and the service is good. Nice atmosphere waitstaff was friendly and competent.

Worst restaurant ever. Ordered a rare burger. Got a charred piece of something they claimed was beef. I asked how they were able to prepare it prior to ordering, I was told however you like. What the hell would have they given me if i ordered it regular... worst burger, had better from any shithole restaurant ever. Name one. I am astounded by the dump I even entered in the first place. Shoulda been shut down a while ago. Save your time and money. read more

This is a different style and food flavors then the direct competition. Sauces are different in a good way. Give it a try for yourself. It's worth a visit. read more

The service was fast and efficient. I ordered the mushroom and Swiss burger and it was still mooing. There was also a verbal battle between two staff members (I mean entertaining I guess but so unprofessional). The honey bbq wings tasted great but were a little cold. Sweet potato fries were bland. read more

Decided to try Wooden Nickel again but it wasn't any better. Waited over hour for food which was cold when we got it. Felt bad for our waitress, who was wonderful, listening to everyone's complaints. We won't be back! 3 strikes your out! read more

Very good food and friendly staff. Was in town for work and found this place on Yelp and tried it out. Will recommend to people and will stop back when I'm in town. read more

Inside was dated - patio would have been a better experience probably. Wait staff was nice and attentive. The food was the biggest draw back. The chicken wings looked as if they were made from pigeons. We were informed there was a chicken wing shortage - no change in the price though. The kids food was not on par with many of our other experiences for quality and amounts. We did enjoy teaching our kids how to play pool while we waited. The pool table and waitress keep this review from being a 1 star. read more

I wish I could put 0 stars. We waited over 40 minutes for our food. The server tried to give us our bill BEFORE WE RECEIVED OUR FOOD! They thought we had already eaten! My toddler's corn dogs came out frozen in the center and they still served them cold again when trying to reheat them. My peanut butter and bacon burger consisted of an ice cream scoop amount of peanut butter and my bacon was under cooked. The hamburger itself was a hockey puck - no juicy flavor. The server came back to give us our bill midway through our burgers; couldn't even wait for us to be done. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, less than 6 tables. Terrible experience. read more

The food here is greasy and yummy it goes perfectly with beer!

In town for Farm Fest and tried this joint for dinner tonight. Deceptively large with outdoor seating. Full bar, seat yourself. Based on other reviews I opted for a burger, but they also have other options. Didn't appear to be busy. Staff was attentive and helpful. Portions were plenty and hit the spot. read more

I had the patty melt and a basket of fries. The food was good but the service was Slow.

Friendly staff and affordable soup and salad bar for lunch but what happen to the pool tables and pinball/video games. The Wooden Nickel was my favorite bar in the '90's but when I returned to Marshall I see they're only a restaurant bar not a bar bar. read more
