New American Restaurants near Columbus, MN

“The staff....from the hotel to the casino..... was extremely friendly. Exceptionally clean rooms. Beds were comfortable. We'll be back when we are needing a little getaway.“

“I thought i would give this a try as I was in the area on a Friday night. The casino is small but offers quite a bit of card games for those who enjoy poker, black jack, pai gao and several others. When you first walk in, the bar area and restaurant greet you, I grabbed a seat at the bar and was quickly offered a water and menu. I ordered a club sandwich and fries($10), my sandwich arrived pretty quickly and was delicious. the club is large and filling, and the fries were tasty. If you are looking for a good value in the Forest Lake area, it's hard to pass up Trout Air Tavern but it does come with whole Casino vibe.“

“This is the BEST place for great food and amazing service!! Deedee is the most incredible person!! All the staff is incredible. I drive over an hour just to hang out at this awesome bar and restaurant. Thank you to you all!“

“Nick was our waiter recently for a birthday celebration… he was exceptionally accommodating and made our evening! Food great as always.“

“Shout out to my new favorite spot! This is the only bar in the North Branch area that will play a Packers Game for locals and not just the Vikings games. They are extremely friendly. The owner is amazing and accommodating unlike, sadly, some of the other local owners who won't even make eye contact with patrons. Their food is amazing! The bartender and waitress are hard workers especially given the short staffed situation of all places as of late. We go out alot and this place is the place we will frequent even though it's farther away than others! Love it here. Thanks Friar's!“

“Hi thanks again so much so much so much“

“This restaurant is outstanding. I loved everything about it. The food, the drinks, the service; everything was better than I expected. The prime rib was spectacular, as was the veggie spud. And the chocolate cake was to die for...and to die from. Seriously, it could easily feed five or six adults! The house specialty cocktails were very creative and so good. And I can't say enough about the service. I didn't get my server's name, but she was amazing. If you're in the area (or even just passing through), definitely put this restaurant on your list.“
