    We went on a Monday evening and it was pretty quiet and not busy so our service was pretty quick. The best part? We all really enjoyed our meals! The cheese curds was worth the $3 extra fee and it was great portions overall. We definitely plan on coming back. The worst part? Nothing to bad. Big parking lot and I can’t wait to go back and try some more options from the menu. The menu also says that if you pay in cash, you get 3% off your bill.

    Pleasant atmosphere. Indoor as well as Outside seating is available. Not crowded and seated right away. Several menu food options are available and are fairly priced. Server was nice and friendly. Drink options range from beer to wine to cocktails if one desires such libations. Food and appetizers arrived in a timely fashion and was hot and fresh. I would recommend dining here whether you're alone or with a family or small group. Only complaint was it felt rather dark and could be better lit.

    We had some spectacular food. Check out the pics. We had chicken wild rice soup, shrimp tacos, and for dessert we had a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. I would recommend them!

    Went to the Mothers Day Brunch. Wow! For a very reasonable price we had an excellent meal. Thanks to all who did the work preparing that feast and to all the service staff who kept things moving smoothly.

    Absolutely disappointed! Used to be one of my favorites. Prices went up twice as much but the quality of food went down. Drinks got shorter. Kids meal came burnt AND the manager ARGUED with a guest about weather it was burnt. The kid eats nothing but chicken strips every where! Got to my meal the “fish dinner” wasn’t done, it was doughy and squishy. Used to have the beef stroganoff but that’s gone…too top it off no Dr.Pepper!! Won’t be back for a long long long while!

    We stopped here for lunch on an unplanned road trip. We really enjoyed our food (we got Lucys and and a Walleye Sandwich)! The server was very nice and willing to joke with us a bit. We sat out on the patio and it was a great stop. I would recommend it!

    This review is for the Mankato restaurant! I enjoyed the bourbon cranberry chicken salad and the Texas ham and cheese sandwich! Both were top notch! The service was impeccable! Highly recommend!!

    I am speechless and beyond grateful to the staff at Crooked Pint. I have an autoimmune disease and VERY rarely go out to eat because of it. We left another local restaurant discouraged because they refused to accommodate a very simple request and we landed at Crooked Pint. There was very little in the menu that could be tweaked to fit my needs and I literally cried out of pure embarrassment and frustration and I was just plain hungry. Our server, Olivia, and the kitchen staff worked together to find something they could prepare that would be compliant with the way I ate and boy did they! It was absolutely amazing! It was a great (rare) date night with my boyfriend!

    The stuffed tortilla hot dish is fantastic. Great food and good prices; I enjoyed sitting out on the patio. The menu consists of many options for “Lucy’s” which are essentially cheese-filled burgers (and may or may not have cheese on top the patty as well). They also have many soups, salads, sandwiches, and “pub favorites” which the aforementioned stuffed tortilla hot dish is a part of.

    We were in the area and stopped in. Had a great time, thanks to meeting our former neighbors, and some new friends we hadn't met yet! Fun atmosphere, the prime rib special was great, and our server was spot on with everything. I'm looking forward to returning!

    Menu looks promising but completely under delivers. Do not order the sausage skillet unless you want a bowl of soggy potatoes with no meat. Group of 8 and we'll never be back! Dont waste your time or money. The bar tender was awesome though.

    February 23 is a nice open atmosphere. Mildly rustic looking. Had the Reuben. My recommendations would be to use bigger pieces of meat vs finely chopped up pieces and only cut the sandwich in 1/2 vs 3 cuts. I think that would help hold the meat better in the sandwich. Overall, 7 for the day. Tks to the waitress A.H. who made good recommendations. Update: August 14 had the Chicken Pot Pie. Creamy, good flavor, the vegetables could use some more time in. At the major change was the biscuit. It is now commercialized and flat.

    Happy Father Day....Here is your free Food Poisonings!!! Burger was raw in the middle, my wife ordered a jalapeno Lucy but got avocados instead. Our waitress I feel sorry for her and embarrassed for her parents. Repeatedly bending over in over sized shirt to expose your breasts is distasteful, not sexy and very inappropriate especially since I was seated with my wife and daughter. Get some class and self respect. Horrible food, horrid service and there was more servers then customers. And no one apologized ,where was management? WILL NEVER RETURN!!! Now we know why the parking lot is always empty!! Wish you could give half a star or no star.

    Loaded tots were the best part of our meal and even they were missing the peppers and sour cream... Fish tacos were dry and lacking sauce. French dip Lucy was OK. My wife's blue cheese soup Lucy was mistaken for chicken. Sent it back to get re-made and the waitress stated she may have entered it incorrectly into the computer. 15 minutes later the burger came out and upon cutting it open the only thing running out of it was grease and blood. Very disappointing. Upon receiving the bill there was no mention of an apology nor was there any discount. I don't mind paying for over priced food when the quality and service warrants it but as I stated earlier this was disappointing. We frequent this area and will be looking for other options in our future.

    20+ minutes after ordering we received a burger cooked beyond recognition and what was supposed to be a thinly sliced prime rib sandwich. The meat was slabs of fatty beef. Burger was only partially eaten because I hadn't eaten all day.

    We were greeted right away with a smile. Food and beverages we're perfect! The waitress was very nice!

    Amazing service and delicious food! Alayna was a fantastic server with knowledge on the drinks. Thanks for a great night! Rating: 12/10

    Decided for a little Sunday Funday. On our way through town, decided to stop here. Known for the Juicy Lucy, have to say was disappointed in the one I had ordered. Jalapeño Lucy. lack or true spicy jalapeños flavor and burger was so so. I cant say it was a great nor a poor burger, just lacked any excitement and taste in was hoping for. Fries were over salted and pretty sure I got every snd of the potato and not the middle. I went for a Bloody Mary, not knowing they offer 2 from the menu. Again, no taste, watered down. They mentioned they were working on working through the corporate mix and planning to move to their own mix, but nonetheless it was terrible. So ask before you order. Overall the people, waitstaff were great...busy but attentive. The floors were so sticky it was hard to say if i was walking on filth from months of college keg stands or what. even the bathroom was sticky. Place needs a good clean and the people in the kitchen could use a refresh on basic burger basket skills. Not interested in returning, but wasnt the worst place i have been with mediocre expectations.

    Bartender was amazing. Very personable. All staff we talked with were very friendly. Just had a bloody mary when we stopped but I thought it was wonderful. Nice atmosphere. Lots of local, state beers on tap.

    I have heard nothing but good things from my co workers about this place so I had to check it out for myself. They definitely seemed to be short staffed. Even with what looked like half the restaurant closed and everyone sitting in the bar they had a hard time running the place. Our waitress was very friendly. We both ordered the Lucy with the jalapeños and shared an order of the loaded totchos. They tasted like it was missing something there really was no taste at all. The burgers we asked for a little pink and the server said they would come that way since it had cheese in the middle. The burger had no pink and was a little more well done. The burger also tasted under seasoned. The positive note the drinks were cold. But our waitress didn’t ask if we wanted refills till we were ready to go. I will most likely not go back as the food was disappointing.

    We had the prime rib dip. It did not look anything like the photo shown or the description given. It was not thinly sliced, it was chunks of fatty meat on a stale bun. The French fries were soooooo salty that we couldn't eat them. Our waitress was very friendly and asked if she could get us a new batch of fries but we didn't have time. Very expensive for the quality of food.

    They have a lot of craft beers to choose from. And the menu is more than just bar food. Great selection with reasonable prices. Our server was friendly and helpful. Nice location with lots of parking.
