16 Best Bar & Grill near Mankato

“My wife and I and the in-laws stopped to check out ummies after going thru the Kiwanis light show last weekend. Of course right before a maverick hockey game and they were packed. We walked Thru and didn’t find a seat open. Gentleman stoped us and said he had 2 tables going to be ready in 10 minutes. So we waited for them to open up and we all were glad we did. Waitress was awesome and food was even better! Highly recommended! Great job to all the staff at UMMIES!!“

“We enjoy going in for a Bloody Mary on a Saturday or Sunday. We have highly recommended that they get better Appetizers , what they call Sharables but they haven't. They took the pretzel off the menu and they shoyld not have. They don't have any deep fried mushrooms, broccoli or cauliflower. So if you are wanting appetizers then I dont recommend going there. Their juicy Lucy's are very good and so is there French dip. They have a chicken bourbon salad that is amazing. We have only sat a table once and thr service was not as good as at the bar. its fun to watch people play pickle ball. its nice that they have popcorn to snack on. They don't play the music loud, which is something we really like.“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Great service, excellent food. 12/10 would return and/or recommend“

“Understaffed prior to a concert. Servers obviously overwhelmed so the service definitely suffered. Food was good tho wasn't very hot when it made it to the table. Waited 20 minutes for our drink order and finally went to the bar and ordered. Our server hadn't put the order in. Definitely needed more help!“

“Salads were good. Service just meh. Bartender ignored us while continuing to serve a couple next to us. Was having a convo with them about other restaurants in the area so clearly they were locals and regulars. Not sure we will be back.“

“I will have to preface this review by saying that I'm definitely going to give Johnny B's a second shot. My first experience there was subpar, but I feel like it could be much better. I tried their fries, cowboy kegs, buffalo chicken tater tot kegs, and the philly cheese steak sandwich. The fries were nothing to write home about at all, they tasted under salted and almost store bought. The cowboy kegs were definitely a cool premise, like hush puppies but with cream cheese. They didn't taste as good as I hoped but I still enjoyed them. The buffalo chicken tater tot kegs had me excited, but the potato and chicken flavors didn't mix well and it also didn't taste as good as I expected. They did give me a fat cup of bleu cheese though which I was super happy about. The philly cheese steak sandwich was definitely the star of the show, delicious, but I do have to remark that I wish it had more cheese.

Overall, the food was 6/10, barely above average, but the place was clean, the waitress was nice, and the overall experience was more 8/10. I want to return because I want to try the bacon ranch tater kegs and the more famous menu items. I'm sure that while the food I ordered was subpar, other options must be way better. I'll update my review next time I visit“

“I enjoy eating at JD's great service the food is amazing. Staff are very respectful and also don't mind having conversations. Definitely a place where I take my kids out for a juicy burger and myself to enjoy a nice cold beer. S/O to JD's 😎“

“Great service and great people!“

“great people and food and drinks“

“Went to the Roadhouse 169 for the first time today and it will not be our last. My kinda atmosphere and Danika provided excellent service! And, great food, juicy burgers and not greasy cheese curds. Only question is what we will get next time we go!“

“Went there a few months back during Vikings bingo. The waiters weren’t the best, maybe because it was busy. This time I went, the waiters were super nice, friendly and that food bangs. The second visit earned a good review. The DILL PICKLE CHEESE-CURDS is a MUST. Those were so good along with their burgers and their salt and vinegar fries.“

“Walleye dinner was so good!“

“Live Music, great service. great experience.“
