Get the Lobster Mac-N-Cheese!! Best I've had hands down. The Taleggio Cheese mixes absolutely perfect with the flavor of lobster ! And the little bit of corn in it is fantastic, a must have!

City Pages

The ridiculously rich lobster mac & cheese will erase those sunny-day longings. Spiked with a tangy bit of Taleggio cheese , and topped with crispy panko bread crumbs , this unique blend is a must try.

Lobster roll was small portion n ok, Mac n Bacon was huge n delicious. Shrimp , sausage n grits was big portion n amazing n spicy . Lamb sandwich was good as well

Naomi Orre

You HAVE to try the Lobster Roll ...no ifs, ands, or buts. There's karaoke every night too. As of a few nights ago, this will be my new hangout...the extra trek from St. Paul is so worth it!

Lee Steichen

Bloody Mary's , lobster roll and beer & bingo . What else do you need.

Deb Haas

Great crowd for karaoke . Get there early to get a table. Excellent song selection and enthusiastic audience.

Sam Molter

Former/current cop bar . The inside still has that old school Northeast feel. This is a good place for a Grain Belt Premium and a bite from the Smack Schack.

Miah Gilbertsen

This is BY FAR one of my favorite dive bars ! They have great karoke and everyone is a friend! They also happen to have BOMB fries .

Clara ZV

Karaoke here is one of my favorites! Always sooo entertaining. I love that the bartender can sing karaoke and pour drinks at the same time. :-) They now have food, too, though I haven't tried it.

Try the Lobster Roll (Sandwich ) - Lobster roll was big enough for 2-3 :)

Joe B

Try the Lobster Mac - The cheeses Mac w the corn and all that lobster meat was almost too much for 1 person. Sooo rich, but sooo good.

It's a true Nordeast neighborhood bar . A place where you have cheap drinks with good people. Don't forget to play the wheel. Best Viking playoff bar in town .
