    When we arrived we were given an estimated time of 15-20 minutes and waited close to 40. But, that's forgivable in the world we live in today. Everyone is short staffed. Waitress was super sweet and attentive. Keep in mind their website advertises their food as "fresh food, made from scratch." We each ordered the brisket/pulled pork combo. Could not be more disgusting. Looked like bacon. Like, imagine mcdonalds started to serve brisket... that's what it was. Smothered in cheap bbq sauce. Pulled pork was gross too but less gross than the brisket. Got the angel hair pasta as a side. I asked for parmasean on the side, they had none. How do u not have parmasean in house if your pasta is parmasean pasta "made from scratch". It had no flavor. Like none. The bread was good but that's it. And our bill was 51 bucks for nasty food that will go to my dogs. Yikes. Will not return.

    Best restaurant meal I've had, since the last time I was here two years ago!

    Our food was really tasty. I had the rotisserie chicken. I only deducted a star because the hostess didn't know anything about gluten free. I wish there was a separate menu or at least an icon so we know what we can eat.

    What can I say other than everything I ordered except for the Texas egg rolls was amazing! The egg rolls had cabbage and pulled pork. I should say just cabbage because the pork was essentially nonexistent. They were big but full of the veggies. They were rather bland too. For my entree I got the half wood grilled chicken with their smashed potatoes. Both were excellent. The chicken was not dry at all and the potatoes were phenomenal! I would definitely return when I'm back in the area.

    Willmar location.. Extremely excellent service. The gentleman that checked us in ( thinking a manager) very polite, and our server-Kiaela M. she was extremely attentive and kind, knowledgeable and on the ball!! Our visit was on 8-6-23 around 1830. The brisket Mac and cheese was excellent as was the Bear creek pasta. Artichoke dip was very good as well. And them bread sticks that came with the dip!! Delicious. Our server even packed the desert to go for back at our room

    The chicken was fantastic! The burnt ends were just ends, but still enjoyable. The kids all loved their meals, the artichoke dip was creamy and delicious, and the oatmeal cookie hot chocolate was perfect. We will definitely dine here again. Be there early, or you may have to wait!

    The chicken- jalapeño sandwich and Caesar salad lunch special was terrible experience as seen in the photos. Leftovers from earlier days constituted the chicken in the sandwich, and shredded saggy lettuce soaked in dressing made the salad which had nothing to do with Caesar. The salad in particular resembled coleslaw rather than salad and it is surely an item to avoid.

    Visiting from Texas thought I'd try this place out since it's the closest restaurant. Terrible waiter. Totally ignored us after taking order. Took an hour to get food during lunchtime... on top of that food was absolutely horrible! The chicken and wild rice soup was sour like it's old! Will not be returning, and advise others to take business elsewhere.

    If you enjoy campfires, walking in is amazing. You can see the logs crackling on a fire right in the entryway. Good food, decent portions. Friendly wait staff. The GM came and checked on us as well.

    I always had such great food at all of Grizzly's locations. Never had one bad plate of food. When my extended family met up for dinner, I immediately suggested Grizzly's. The food was hot, plentiful, and tasted great. The server and the manager were accommodating and very friendly. When you have tasty food and outstanding service it makes the night a lot better. The family was impressed all around with Grizzly's and I didn't look like a buffoon for recommending Grizzly's to my inlaws. Don't think twice and just go. You won't be disappointed.

    Out of every restaurant I have eaten at in Wilmar, MN this is by far the best. The rotisserie chicken was delicious, I got the dry rub. It was juicy and skin crispy. The smashed potatoes were average, but they were literally potatoes smashed on my plate. We also got the cheese curds, which the flour had a bit of a seasoning in it that really added to the flavor. I did go back a second time and got the brisket ends. I did the sauce on the side which I was glad I did so because it comes swimming in a cheese sauce I don't think I would have liked the BBQ mixed with that. Lastly I did the turtle cheesecake, make sure you save room for that!

    Seems to be pretty popular, we got there just after the lunch crowd. When you enter you are greeted with a big rotisserie with a nice fire cooking the chicken going round and round. The decor is nice and rustic with fish mounts, elk antler chandeliers and canoes up in the rafters .2 of us had the chicken, I had chicken wings and another had a steak sandwich. All the food was great. Service too.

    Flies in drink. I think this review writes itself. Grizzly's is supposed to be a reputable restaurant chain and this is what we got. My fiancée and I will make this a one-time stop.

  • 4/5 Cary S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a table of 5 and each of us got something different. Atmosphere was woodsy and comfortable for a family. Servers and staff were extremely friendly and quick to help. Ribs, pork and sides were very good. Great smoked flavors. Mac and cheese and pasta dish were creamy and cheesy.

    Good food and decent service. The sweet potato fries are the best and the garden salad is good sized.

  • 5/5 Chaney N. 1 year ago on Google
    The steak sandwich was super tender and yummy! And I was excited to see pasta offered as a side dish!! The large rotisserie wheel at the front was filled delectable looking chickens and the noise level was just right. Also, our server did a fantabulous job! And her teammate even came over to pick up a stack of dishes when she recognized that the server was busy with a large table that had just been seated, so it was refreshing to see the teamwork without prompting!

    Our waitress was phenomenal! She made our girls night even better! Our food was awesome. We ordered way to much for 2, but we enjoyed ourselves.
