Walleye was soggy and cold tasted like it was prepared long before I arrived. Unfortunately the fish was cold but the beer certainly was not. We were told the cooler broke but were still charged full price for the warm beers that were barely over half full because they were half foam.
Lots of tv's but most just played whatever came on after the wild game instead of turning to one of many college football games that were on. Of the 10 others that I dined with I couldn't find anyone who had anything good to say. Very disappointing experience all the way around.

Worst bar I've ever been to. Tried it twice and stood/sat around for 15 mins without any workers even acknowledging us. Not even a busy night yet couldn't even get a hello when we sat at the bar and eventually left without ordering because we were apparently invisible. Garbage service

Ok the low down from out of Towner. It's a great sports bar but for NFL fans they do not carry football package. I am not sure about other sports so I would check. I think for local sports it's perfect. Plenty of TVs and the sound system is spot on.

Now the foot. Delicious all the way for comfort food and enjoying sports. The service is impeccable.

Man this was my first time in this establishment, and all around it was great. Not only because I won free Wild tickets from the raffle, but they have tvs everywhere with no bad seats. Good size, good seats wings, good service, and good drinks. Would highly recommend and would definitely visit a second time

While our server was very pleasant and everything came out quickly, the drinks were pretty weak and the food had absolutely no flavor at all! We were there for a company outing so we ordered an errant of items and none were really good. The lemon pepper wings had zero lemon pepper flavor whatsoever. The blueberry bbq wings tasted like they were just drenched in bottle bbq sauce with no hint of blueberry. The burgers were all flavorless and dry and the pesto pasta was soooo disturbingly bland

Went in around 2pm on a Wednesday. Sat at the bar for 20 minutes near where the bartender was. It wasn't very busy, maybe 8 people in the room. Bartender never came over to take a drink order or offer a food menu. Tried to wave him down twice, no luck, left after 20 minutes.

Stopped for a beer and quick bite. We were seated pretty fast, although it was a busy night.
Tried the Brussel sprouts and was not disappointed. Amazing! The walleye tacos were great. Fish was not dried out like a lot of places.
Will be back for sure!

Stopped by on a slow Sunday. The service and food were great. They have a great selection of beer and food along with being reasonably priced for the area. We are very happy we passed thru on our short visit to town.

Everything we had was fine, pretty standard bar food, but not special and so over priced. It's dive bar quality food with fancy restaurant prices. The place itself has uncomfortable seating, and even though it was empty when we went, the TVs were on so loud we could barely hear our server. I ordered the "big" pretzel and the wings, and they were good, but so small considering the price. They over charge because of the location, not because of the quality. I won't be going again.

We tried The Pillbox Tavern because of its proximity to the local theatres. The food was good but the service was so slow for both our waitress and the kitchen getting our food out. They were out of the happy hour IPA and didn't have an alternative at the same price. I asked to substitute the Italian Sausage in my pasta dish and acknowledged there was likely an upcharge but I was shocked to see it was $8.00. And my Sprite was flavorless. I think we'll try somewhere else next time.
