My husband liked his burger but the fish I ordered was strangely rubbery and portions were small. Staff were pleasant.

The food is okay but service is always an issue. We were there for lunch and I know the waitress was the only person serving everyone there but it took forever for her to come to our table. I had to go to the bar to get my water refilled multiple times. The waitress would just be sitting at the bar on her phone. I would be more understanding if she was busy with the other tables but she wasn't. It's not the first time this had happened either.

The food here is mediocre.
The service staff are not too friendly and service is slow.
The outdoor seating area has better atmosphere than inside.

Nice chill place with good food but limited vegetarian options. The customizable omelet plate was a good deal and was pretty good. It came with hash browns and toast/English muffin

I went here with my brother and mother a few months back.

Overall it was decent food, but nothing that stood out. If you're just looking for some decent bar food then this place is fine.

Our waitress was nice and fun. She did mess up our order, but I just swapped meals with my mom because that was the wrong plate... she had ordered a California Burger but a BBQ bacon with onion rings burger (I think it's usually called a cowboy burger or something like that) arrived instead.

I ordered the shrimp basket so that's the meal we swapped.

The cheese curds were pretty good, and if I go back I'd get that as an appetizer again... and I always dip my cheese curds in ketchup so any other dipping sauce I will try, but nothing tastes as great as ketchup and cheese curds.

Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was fine.

Overall, I would try it again, and I think it's worth trying if you haven't been...

We don't drink alcohol, and admittedly bar food is often catered for people drinking. So, if you're not drinking beers or cocktails my experience (across the board) has been that bar food is kinda mediocre.

Hopefully, this review helps. Thank you for reading.

Since busters closed I have been going to NaKato. Usually it's good, pleasant & affordable. The last 2 times I've been there I've noticed new ppl & it seems not so friendly. I ordered a beer & food at the bar. By the way the bartender was great & working circles around the rest. There is a gal cook that seems like she doesn't want to be in the kitchen. She made my 1 order & was talking nonstop just like the time before. What I ordered takes less than 10 minutes. Over heard her tell the bartender that my order was sitting there for awhile, while she's out talking. He was filling the inventory waiting on ppl at the bar while she's still talking & irritating the crap out of me for the 2nd time. I asked them a simple question on the type/ brand of shrimp they had last week & nobody could give me an answer. I like it so I wanted to know. Just shrugged me off. I didn't eat last week bc that gal cook was even louder so I left. Today my food obviously was on the cold side, sitting there for a while. Even then the fries were not done, pale & limp. I believe that cook could have let the bartender know sooner my food was done or better yet, she could have been working like he was & delivered it to me hot.

The woman working at the Blue Earth Historical Society recommended this place. It was very good with portions so large we couldn't finish our lunches. We are visiting from San Antonio Texas and like to eat at local places
