👍👍 Now this is a hidden gem! The food was very tasty, delicious and amazing! The friendly customer service was second to none! The rest rooms and entire restaurant was very clean. They have a full bar and the decor was done well! I highly recommend this place! It is handicap accessible and has a se...

👍👍 Wow! For small town, it is a great place. I was hesitant, but after stepping foot inside, it was very modern, clean, with a small town polite staff! Would highly recommend! My food was great, and came through quickly.

👍 Friendly staff and quick service. Wife had Hawaiian quesadillas and I had the combo fajitas. (Shown)

👍👍 Good food. Good service. Best, most consistent and dependable product and service in Madelia. We regularly patronize this restaurant for these qualities. We recommend this restaurant and will go back again. We do not know the owner, nor do we have any friends or family working there. They have a dem...

Cozy, down-to-earth establishment fixing up classic American bites & a variety of martinis.

👍👍 Busy place but solid food! The idea is very good: casual but with steaks. Steak was very good, salad was sooo good I didn’t get a photo (yummy ranch and homemade crouton). George’s wife makes cheesecakes and I had to get a slice. Very solid!

Upmarket reimagined American classics & cocktails are the draw at this casual farm-to-table venue.

👍👍 If you are anywhere near Good Thunder, you must check out Thunder Bar. Good drinks, good food. If the kitchen isn’t open, no worries, they will cook up some house made flat crust pizza to fill your belly.

Instead they greeted us joyfully and still made us a pizza. We expected it to be packed- (and know it usually is) but tonight wa...

Rustic-modern hangout for choice coffee & baked goods, along with creative, seasonal light fare.

🫤 The food and snacks are so good. The only reason I don’t give five stars is because every time I go they charge me more than the menu price (before tax). The first two times I did not notice until after I paid but the last time I noticed and said something. It felt very awkward and they acted like t...

Relaxed restaurant serving New American fare & espresso in a cozy, brick-walled space.

👍👍 This is a neat find! Right on the river/channel. Friend told me we gotta try this place if we get a chance because the food has shown up on top ten lists in Minnesota, and everything on the menu and what we saw coming out of the kitchen looked and sounded delicious. We asked the bartender what they’...

👍 New discovery. Everyone was welcomed with a friendly greeting by the staff. The wait time was short at the time of our visit. We were quickly seated. SERVICE: Excellent. Very attentive staff. Each new party that entered the restaurant were greeted in a friendly and welcoming manner. Our waitress...
