50 Best Bars near Morton

“Valentine's Dat dinner with my gf reservation at 5pm table was ready once we got there. Server didn't offer valentine menu or mention special. Server also was not as attentive considering $50 plus gratuity was added automatically. Food was amazing and came out really fast once order placed. Great flavors and portion size. Dessert and drinks were also great. Would absolutely come back and visit“

“It sure hasn't changed much and I hadn't been there in 25 years. Not that it's a bad thing but if I remember correctly they had poker machines when it wasn't legal to payout on them and now that it's legal there's no one in Morton besides the Legion has a poker machine no where. Seems silly but what do I know. I'm just a player on these darn machines. I enjoy a good crowd, ice cold beer, a decent bar tender that can hold a half way intelligent conversation and the Office has all that. If you happen to be a good looking woman behind the bar, Even better. I tip real well unless you don't pay attention and then not so much. They do have a great outdoor seating section. Check it out and you won't be disappointed.“

“Shout out to Maria and her team tonight! Husband picked up two different kinds of wings to go and they were perfect! And he had a very Nice time visiting with Maria as always and came home smiling. Can’t wait to eat out again!!!!“

“At the end of last year I left a bad review that was not accurate. I was having a bad night and probably drinking too much. I have been to Seasons quite a few times, since then, and every single time the food was great and the service is always top notch. keep up the good work!!! 5 stars“

“unfortunately, I am sitting here watching my son get sick from his meal at La Fiesta. Tonight is the third time someone in the family has gotten violently ill from their food. I do not know what happened to this place but, it went down hill very quickly. I would not recommend this to anyone. We will never go back again. My boy had the hamburger only and this is what he is getting sick off of. The chips had dried salsa on them tonight. they used to have the better food in the area and now you cannot say that.“

My wife and I ate on a Monday for lunch. We both got the salad/potato bar which included tacos that day. Salad bar was fresh, potato was a potato. All in all a solid 4.

Looking back we both should have tried the smashburger and fries.“

“Went to Washington Mo to see family. We were looking for a place to have a drink. This was the nicest little pub around. We were there early in the day , but the owner was super friendly and welcoming. The patrons were good local people and welcomed us to their little corner of the world. I will always remember this place.“

“The atmosphere is great . The service is very friendly and efficient. The food is very good and the portions are great for the price. We had tacos and Irish nachos, the daily specials, and they were very good. We would order them again anytime.“

Reasonable and perfect for small parties and gatherings“

“We had a wonderful stay. The first day was incredible we ate at their restaurant I had the steak and everyone else their pizza food was super delicious. Steak was phenomenal. The next day my family and our friends decided to have some Japanese food at a restaurant nearby. I ended up having an emergency situation where I was in active anaphylaxis I begged my husband to just take me to the hotel which was right across the street. We came in the door asked if they had Benadryl and they asked if we needed an ambulance (husband said yes as I was saying no I’m fine, I wasn’t clearly fine at all) Everyone acted fast and got me Benadryl, water and kept my little one occupied while everything was going on. All this happened literally with in minutes. The ambulance came took me to the hospital where we sat for several hours to monitor me after receiving epinephrine. My friends watched our little one. I wish I caught the names of the staff members. Thank you for stepping in and acting fast and keeping everything calm. Truly appreciate everything y’all did for me that day. Very grateful my husband didn’t listen to me when I was saying no. Y’all are the best! Thanks for the amazing stay and the amazing riverside view!“

“It was the husband and I’s first time and we were very thankful for our waitress, Melissa. She took the time and went over things with us, and she was very pleasant and helpful to us. All of the food was great… and we will be back with friends!“

“Best bar ever! We had so much fun, cheap drinks, great staff and patrons, karaoke! Thank you for hosting us 🇨🇦Thursday night!“

“Just your local corner bar. From live music to paint nites. Local artists line the walls. Good strong drinks. Fun little atmosphere. I really enjoy the paint nites and Saturdays! Always a good time!“

“Chips and salsa: crunchy and tasty chips with a sweet salsa that hits the back of your tongue and throat with a hint of spice.

Margarita: Mango and Strawberry flavor with a good sugar and alcohol balance.

Main dishes: My wife had the fish taco and thought it was a little sweet, but not overly sweet. She used the cilantro mayo to help add some savory/spice. I had the birria tacos, which had so much flavor and a consommé with a nice spice. I also had an Al pastor taco with some pineapple to provide a sweet taste.

Seems like they lean more towards a sweet flavor in their dishes, which isn't terrible, and I like that twist, but I also like for my food to be more on the spicy side. Highly recommend others to come and try this place out.“

“Crusens is a must whether you live here or just visiting. It's family owned and they have a great crew who knows what it means to take care of the customer. I have been going to Crusens for 30 plus years and it's changed a lot over the years and it's grown a lot. I've had date night there, company Christmas party there, boys night out, crashed a few girls night out no matter what it's a great time“
