“It’s such a nice small town bar feel. Friendly staff and pretty quick service. The food was really good. I had a roast beef commercial, which I love getting at the small town bars and restaurants. This was easily a top 3 open faced roast beef, loved the grilled veggies. Other times I have had the same quality of food and service. So the consistency has been there.“

“My husband and I eat at the Minnehaha Cafe almost every other week and the food is always amazing!

My husband is always so impressed with how much she knows about football!“

“Great place to win! Again!“

“Totally accommodated our baseball team during the State Tournament despite not having knowledge of the tournament.

We love this place and appreciate their willingness to serve us despite being short staff during a crazy, busy time.“

“Decent size restaurant and the menu lots to pick from! They even have a giant pretzel with a cheese sauce and other dipping. Great for sharing at the table! I ordered the BBQ Burger it was excellent perfectly cooked fries were fresh. And just outside is the golf course nice views of the sunset.

“We had a wedding reception dinner here last Saturday and I would highly recommend it. Mike was so helpful the last month answering all my questions and getting everything I needed to make our night perfect. Everyone was ranting and raving on how good the food was! Our bartender Kyle C. was awesome! He was busing tables and serving drinks like a champ. He even found me the last Busch light in the bar and saved it for me. Our night could have not been more perfect thanks to the hard working staff here. Best of all it worked great with our budget! If you are looking for a place to hold your small event this is it don’t look any further. P.S the chocolate cake is to die for. Thank you again 💕 The Feyereisen’s“

“Firehouse Grille has become our go-to place to catch a quick meal on Friday evenings. The food has been great lately, especially: Taco Salad (with lots of jalapenos), Southwest Chicken Sandwich, French Dip, and of course the Onion Rings are great!

The very best thing about the Firehouse Grille is Amanda the bartender. She's the reason we go back so often, friendly excellent service.

Good variety of beer. Lots of TVs for sports, and they'll change stations so you can catch what game you want.

New thing they do is close for private parties with no notice.“

“I cannot say enough nice things about this restaurant. The food quality is awesome and the service is exceptional. Their carne asada is something I highly recommend. I would fly all the way from New Jersey for just that! They have a number of gluten-free options which is always great. I ate dinner here on two days and on both occasions my server was Ashlea. Her service (with a smile) is incredible. She is very knowledgeable about ingredients in the menu and can advise on the right choice of items and drinks. She is extremely efficient--always on her toes--and is a true asset to the business. Ashlea made my dining experience a pleasure. Thank you!“

We ordered trays of -Shrimp and sausage gumbo -Lobster Mac and cheese -Cajun crawfish dirty rice -Shrimp and grits with garlic cheddar biscuits Everything was amazing. The grits were savory, the dirty rice was well seasoned, and the biscuits were soft and cheesy! Pickup was easy and convenient. The entire family was satisfied with all of the food. Favorites varied for each person so there was something for everyone here!“
