    Nice place. Ordered the Lolo burger, recommend you order the salt/rosemary fries (they are awesome). Good service. Fun drinks.

    Loved it! Service was pleasant, food was amazing, and the river walk while waiting was a bonus. (We went on Sunday night, and it was a 45-minute wait.. They text you when your table is ready.) We were fortunate to find street parking near the front. Bring a smaller vehicle to park if possible. The seating is about 50/50 bar to tables. Some families were there with kids. It's a very cozy small and noisy restaurant, so I wouldn't recommend it for kids that want to move around. Thor's Cider was the best cider beer I've tasted. Fresh, sweet, and sour... gotta pick some up! The poke bowl photo doesn't do it justice. The quantity of tuna was more than expected, and the light Wasabi dressing was spicy perfection. It was enough to share for 2. The berry salad and Mahi tacos were refreshing and yummy. My hubby got the cod which had a light teriyaki glaze... which we never had on fish before. It was fabulous. We'll be trying that at home as well. Overall fabulous meal!

    An upbeat, popular place with great food! We were there on Saturday afternoon, and the place was jam-packed. The background music was hip, but because of it and with all the people talking, it was a bit loud. The pork belly tacos I had were fantastic! Simple and few ingredients that came together perfectly. I ordered salt and rosemary salt fries with it, and the dipping sauce (I believe it was a basil aioli) was delicious! The bacon-wrapped hot dogs were good. They came with some spicy mustard, which gave it a nice kick, but the buns were a bit dry. There were many beverage and food options that we didn’t try, but would love to. The service was nice; we chatted with a manager/bartender, and he was hard-working and friendly! Would recommend!

    Luigi’s Mansion best mock tail I’ve ever had! If you like creamy drinks and/or pistachios I highly recommend! Service here is also friendly and efficient. I didn’t get a picture of my meal but I had the hanger steak bowl and I ate it too quickly to snap a pic! Right in the heart of Downtown Stillwater just a short walk to the river! If you are in the area make a stop!

    The cocktail menu is excellent, funny names and damn delicious cocktails! The ambiance overall was cool, relaxed, with friendly wait staff. We walked in and 3 people didn’t bother to pause their conversation and help us out, but rather they would have a busy waitress do it. The food, delicious! My opinion, and reason for 4 stars, bit expensive for the portion size. But, I guess you’re on the high street of a very touristic town, so other people are willing to pay. C’est la vie.

    One of my favorite burgers in the area. From the taste, quality, spice, and down to the sauce. Also, the fries!!! Wow. Both are so delicious and stands out to me from the others i’ve had. We have also enjoyed cocktails here before which are great! This restaurant is definitely a must if you’re in Stillwater and looking for high quality food and good drinks.

    I’ve never had a dish we’re the vegetables were the highlight of the plate. I ordered the Hanger Steak Sticky Rice Bowl which came with korean bbq beef, rice, fermented chile slaw, roasted brussel sprouts. The rice wasn’t prepared well (over cooked), but everything else was sooo good! It’s a small restaurant but it’s popular and they only do first come/first serve so no reservations.

    The vibe in this restaurant was awesome and I loved the different food options! The drink menu was unique and the pear drink I got was delicious! My food was very good (pork belly tacos and the smoked salmon app)! My husband said his burger was quite well done which was not as great. As much as I can empathize with a busy waitress, I didn't feel like ours particularly cared about checking on our table. Overall I would certainly return but just he prepared that the wait time may be longer than you'd like.

    Nice outside tables with river view. The menu has fairly limited options. We tried the Fat Joe burger and the Chicken Taco. The burger was tasty but very greasy. The chicken taco was a bit expensive ($7 for one taco) but was really delicious. Overall, good food in Stillwater.

    Quick service granted we visited during a shoulder period. Cocktails were delicious and so was the food but a tad pricy.

    My partner and I went o Stillwater from Minneapolis to relax and try out some of the new restaurants. LoLo did not disappoint! We got some fries and a delicious sausage appetizer. For our main selections I ordered a hamburger with ghostjack cheese and it was perfectly cooked and just spicy enough to really bring out the flavor.

    Fantastic food, amazing staff & wonderful drinks. We warned in advance that the dish I ordered would take extra time. We agreed that would be fine, the proceeded to drool over every dish thst came out. I love the open kitchen & regret not sitting at the bar. The staff work well together, each pitching in happily. As for the wait, 100% worth it!

    Amazingly creative spot - both the food and the drinks! Not a lot of seating, so we came early (their Hudson, WI site is bigger). Be ready for some difficult decisions- what to drink, what to eat, and even what to get for desert. Everything was superb, and Paige was a great server. Don’t hesitate to ask for her recommendations- she won’t steer you wrong!

    I like that it's located downtown Stillwater, although parking can be a pain. The place is small so the tables are really close together. They do have a patio out back; that seems like it would be nice in warmer weather. It was kind of busy, but we received good customer service, and didn't have to wait too long for our food. The food was decent and wasn't too pricey. I would consider visiting again if in the area.

    My son and I were passing through town and stopped here for lunch because I recalled really liking it several years ago. We won't be back based on this past experience. We stopped by late afternoon on Saturday. It was busy but not lunch hour busy. We stood at the front at least 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We weren't acknowledged until another group came through the door. Overall I liked the food flavors but poor execution. My burger was tiny compared to the bun (forgot to take a pic), and it was a thick ball instead of a flatter patty. The smoked fries were limp and soggy but the aioli was great. My son's wings were overdone.

    Stopped here for food and drinks! Came for a date night. Every part of this dining experience was great. It was a busy day in Stillwater and we stopped in because the food smelled amazing. They were booked and we had to wait an hour, but it was worth it (lots of fun shops and bars nearby). The specialty drinks were beautiful incredible. We had the olive plate appetizer- for dinner the LoLo Burger with smoked sea salt fries and the Seafood Curry with sticky rice. The food was so good!!! The service was stellar the host and our server Chianan were nice, friendly, and helpful.

    Had a great time. Food was amazing. We wanted to stop by Stillwater on our drive home from our camping trip. Parking can be a hassle there so keep that in mind. They also have outside seating too.

  • 5/5 Rique L. 9 months ago on Google
    A unique Bar Restaurant joint. I had the Korean BBQ Chicken Wings (5) as an appetizer to be followed by the Xiao Jian stir fry sticky rice bowl (5). The flavors were all there together with a nice Oliphant Lumberjack Ipa (3.5). I would have to come back for more of the menu !

    My friend and I visited Stillwater for a girls day and decided to patronize LoLo for drinks and some food. Our waitress was super sweet and helped us pick drinks and food. I chose the “Its Ride or Die Megan” and my friend chose the Little Rascal (something like that)! Wow!!! My drink was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. It had an amazing spicy kick that paired perfectly with the prickly pear liqueur. I’m not sure of everything that was in this drink but it was sooooo good. It was completely delicious and I wished I wasn’t driving so that I could have another. Beware: if you don’t like spice, avoid this drink!! We ordered the Korean bbq hangar steak tacos and the mahi mahi tacos to share, and both got the rosemary sea salt fries. The food was as good as the drinks. We both loved that the fish was not breaded in the mahi mahi tacos. And those Korean bbq tacos were perfectly balanced with the pickled veg on top. The fries were thin and perfectly seasoned and they came with a yummy, herbaceous dipping sauce. We visited early, so seating was no problem, but this is a small restaurant and it got busy soon after we arrived. I’ll be dreaming of this meal, both food and drink, until the next time I can visit Stillwater!

    It was expensive but delicious. The burgers, salad, tuna, smoked fries, and soup are all delicious. No wonder it's a busy joint. Try it.

  • 4/5 Don & Kim L. 10 months ago on Google
    Fun place with inside and outside dining. Great cocktail menu with unique drinks. Great service. No gluten free buns but will adapt food. We both had Tacos, corn shells for gluten sensitive, fresh with good sauce. Ordered side of fries and got a huge amount of great tasting shoestring fries. Yummy flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Good place to go in Stillwater.

    The atmosphere is comfortable, with a laid-back feel. The service is top-notch, with the staff exhibiting a friendly and welcoming demeanor. The cocktails are a highlight: each one expertly crafted and imbued with a creative spirit. I indulged in a few of their signature drinks and was thoroughly impressed. But the Korean hanger steak tacos - they deserve special mention as the very best in the state. The flavors were bold and the steak cooked to perfection. The combination of excellent service, innovative cocktails, and delicious food make it a must-visit dining destination.

    Still great after all these years. We've been going here after tubing for a few years now. The service, drinks and food are always great. Update: STILL awesome! Again after tubing, we went for cocktails and snacks. I asked for a proper martini and the bartender was overjoyed to make it. This IS a great place. GO HERE if you get the chance!

    My wife and I went here to for lunch. We were greeted when entering the door and were able to be seated right away. We started with the Korean barbecue wings. The wings were amazing. Very juicy and full of flavor from the sauce. I highly recommend these if you like wings. My wife had the fish tacos with the sea salt & rosemary fries. She loved both of them. She described the flavor as a party in her mouth and this is how food should always be. I had the Lolo burger with the sea salt & rosemary fries too. This burger was great! The chief cooked it perfectly. Every bit of my burger was extremely flavorful. I also really enjoyed the fries. The place isn't huge but has great atmosphere. Nice bar area if you are looking for a cocktail. I personally liked the pictures that were on the wall and thought that they went really well with the brick walls and the personality of Stillwater.

  • 5/5 Kathryn J. 10 months ago on Google
    Dog friendly patio in the back. The smoked fries with sea salt were AMAZING!! Wings were full of flavor without overkill in the spice (would be very spicy Minnesota Spicy) Pulled pork tacos were delicious! Drinks were great, just pass on the tap margaritas.

  • 5/5 Randy T. 2 years ago on Google
    We were looking for a nice place to eat in town and everyone recommended LoLo's. We gave it a shot and we were not disappointed. We tried a rice bowl and fish tacos and they had such a unique flavor that was better than anything we had before, including the rosemary fries. Next time in town we will be eating here again.

  • 5/5 Amber P. 2 years ago on Google
    AMAZING food! Great service from the bartender that greeted us to the hostess that seated us and our waitress. We had a Lolo burger and a jamz burger. So AMAZING!

  • 5/5 Emily A. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely wonderful both times. The drink menu is impressive, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic cocktails are fun. The pork belly tacos are so fantastic and so was the burger with pork belly, we greatly enjoyed the wings. The price point is great and the quality is perfect. Can’t wait to come back.

  • 4/5 Paige D. 2 years ago on Google
    i got the grilled cheese and initially had low expectations because nothing on the menu seemed to appeal to me and grilled cheese is a safe option but i was actually very surprised at how good it was. i would try to remake it at home but i know i could never do the sandwich justice. the rosemary fries were delicious and something i have never had anywhere else. the only thing that put me off is that when we arrived (table for 3) the hostess asked if we would be okay with sitting at a table not even a foot away from the door. on a nicer day i would’ve said sure but it was 40° out and with people constantly coming in i didn’t feel like eating dinner with my winter coat on, and since they don’t have a host stand we would basically have been eating dinner with the hostess because she stood at that table all night greeting people that came in so it seems like an odd place to have a table. i understand since the restaurant itself isn’t that big so there’s limited space but when there are multiple empty tables and booths and bar seats it wouldn’t be my first choice for customers to eat at. we ended up sitting at the food bar in the back of the restaurant which was a fine location, it was interesting getting to watch our food being made. i would come back just for the rosemary french fries, probably for the grilled cheese as well.

    Interesting little place! Fun to watch the bartenders work their magic behind the bar! Huge cocktail and mocktail menu, and an interesting food menu. I highly recommend the fries!
