“Update! Back again in 2024 and it was a hit once again. Great spot for the family in an old-school fair tradition. Everyone was happy with the breakfast sandwich, French toast, pancakes, and Swedish egg coffee. We'll be back in 2025...

Original review from 2023: Long-time gems like this make the fair unique. Very friendly people and typically a much shorter line than the Hamline dining hall. The croissant on the breakfast sandwich was extremely fluffy. Everyone at our table was incredibly friendly, as were the workers, from the host to the checkout clerk. A nice relaxed respite from the chaos the rest of the fairgrounds can be.“

“Excellent Restaurant. You will enjoy dinning outside the Restaurant during summer mild sunshine. Food is great and fair price.“

“Went at 9pm for date night.
This place restores the soul. Beauty abounds. Crisp Nightcap rocks.
Thoughtful NA options.

3 deviled eggs, not 4? Boohoo. Burger is worth at most, $15, not $21.
Bar food is telling me: "You should just eat in the restaurant, you fool!" Not at all bad, not at all great.“

“I just came here to say these were the best bang bang skrimp wraps I've ever had. crunch, on point! sauce, on point! even the slaw which I'm usually not a huge fan of by itself, on point! perfect portion, cherry coke on tap was great too! My friend had the nachos and they were huge, although they were served in a large bowl, I would find it easier for cheese distribution if served on a platter of some sort but that's about it, still recommending!“

“Great food, nice bar, reminded us of home“

“Our server Desiree was wonderful and the food was very hot and speedy tonight! But Desiree was a highlight of our dinner. She was so friendly and welcoming, and anticipated our needs the whole night!
People like her are the reason why we will keep returning!!!! 😁😁😁“

“Great Happy Hour! Food is always good.“

“Great view, food and beer selection. Great service team…“

“Some of the best food that side of the Pecos. Been there twice in the last couple weeks it's amazing. highly recommended

Vegetarian options: There is a chef working there I'm sure he can accommodate any type of special order

Dietary restrictions: I had a diabetes-friendly option

Parking: I didn't count them but I bet there's parking 400

Kid-friendliness: It is a bar and restaurant but I've seen kids playing outside that live in the marina. They played with my puppy dog.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lots on the same level as the restaurant it's a quick roll“

“The drinks were poured strong and the burger had amazing flavor. However, the bartender was overwhelmed and you could tell the kitchen was running short staffed. When I placed my ordered for my burger I requested no onion and no garlic aioli. I watched the new waitress write that specifically. My burger came out with onions on it, no biggie I just took them off. I got half way through my burger and took a bite and there was special sauce on it. I spit it out, began gagging and it took everything in my power to not throw up all over. The new waitress came up and asked if I was okay. I begged her to take my plate away, and she got me a new water. My appetite was ruined. We were pushing time for our concert shuttle so we quickly paid our bill and left without complaint but we were surprised my meal wasn’t comped. I was super bummed I couldn’t finish the burger as it was SO good!! Attention to detail is important and I’m just glad I wasn’t allergic to something in the sauce!“

“This Hooks is the best one to eat at. The inside is clean, the outside don't have a lot of people hanging around. The food taste delicious. The customer service is great! Me and my family drive out of our way just to come to this one. Have never had a bad experience here, great food great workers.“

“Over all best experience I have had. Thank you so much and I’ll be coming here more often. I am just starting my vegan journey and this place makes great food! The staff is super friendly too“

“I went to Cottage Grove Culver's with a friend yesterday and was inspired to write a review because the service was well above average. My friend got the flavor of the day frozen custard, which was a devil's food cake chocolate flavor. It looked delicious and I said that out loud. One of the employees there, Brayden, overheard me say that and brought me a free sample. That was so thoughtful and the kind of service one might expect from a sit-down restaurant with servers. It makes me so happy when someone takes pride in their job and exceeds expectations. Besides the excellent service, I have always been impressed with the quality of Culver's food from burgers to salads to custard.“
