Shady’s 55 Pub & Event Center

Excellent Pizza too

They have great buffets. Plenty of room for large groups. Full bar, and beer is icy cold.

Stopped at Shady’s 55 Bar & Grill on our way up toward Glenwood and this is definitely a solid spot to stop if you’re headed through the area. The atmosphere was nice — a good local bar feel and a comfortable place to grab a meal.
I ordered the Quesadilla Burger with onion rings. The burger itself was good and cooked well, but for me it needed something extra flavor-wise. A chipotle sauce or flavored ranch would have really brought it together because it felt a little plain as-is. The onion rings were crispy and tasty though!
My partner got the Mushroom Swiss burger and really liked it — and trust me, if he finishes his meal, that says something 😆
Overall, a nice little bar and grill stop if you’re coming through Paynesville or headed up north. Worth checking out when you want something casual and filling.

Great Mother’s Day buffet. Ashtynne was awesome as our server. Good atmosphere and very spacious. Been here a few times while visiting my parents and it never disappoints.

Stopped in to grab a beer with a coworker. Service is top notch and beer is cold. Food looked really good but had already eaten so missed out on that. Looks like a great watering hole to visit when in the area

Fish basket was awful. Not cooked enough. Frozen fillets and chips for $15. Bar service is good. Acoustics are awful.

Our group really enjoyed eating here for the first time. It was very busy but we understood it took a little longer to get service. It’s right next to a hockey center so when the hockey is over, they pile in there. The food in the service were very good will be back.

Had the best time ever, Ashtynne was amazing!! Only thing that could’ve made my experience better is a pool table. Hopefully one day
