“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!“

“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.“

“We had a group of six and a child eat at LARS for dinner and breakfast, and both times we had Brook as our server. Brook went above and beyond for our group. Always checking to make sure that we had everything that we needed, and we were always well taken care of. For dinner, we had a birthday that we were celebrating, and Brook surprised her with cake and ice cream. For breakfast, he knew we were about to drive home, and he made sure the kids had to go snacks and juices for the ride. Food was great, but service was exceptional. Will definitely back!“
