“Stopped in for Monday night bingo and it was a good time for everyone in our group. We had French fries, California burgers, and signature burgers (burgers were on special) along with loaded nachos. The service was just right too. We will definitely be back for bingo and burgers, maybe even a pizza next time. Was a nice experience.Parking: There is parking out front of the building on both sides of the street and there is also a decent sized lot out back for overflow parking all of which is close to an entrance.“

“Cute cafe. I had dinner here before and it was not my favorite, but the breakfast today was really good. Something that bothered me today was that one of the staff, a male cashier, purposely photo bombed multiple photos, that another (very nice female busser) was taking of my partner and I. It was unprofessional. Thankfully the girl taking the photos continued to take multiple shots and by the last couple photos, he had left.“

“Just like the previous owner's: Same big burgers etc, and they will pull in bands that you would only expect to find at a much larger venue in the Twin Cities. Last act I saw, the singer had just recently been featured on national network.“

“Food is very good, I know that several food ingredients are sourced from a local organic food buying club. This is converted from an old residence, so it can get loud when crowded (and it does get crowded sometimes, but service s still pretty good, but visually very nice. Nice selection of ice creams in the front case.“

“Had breakfast on Saturday. They open at 9am, and when we got there at 9:20 the place was packed. Friendly folks. The cook looked all of 18 we braced ourselves for ‘just ok’ food. We could not have been more wrong.His hash browns were crispier and more delicious than most twenty year cooks. The skillet breakfast was ample and amazing. Ate til full and still leftovers for the next day.Just one of those incredible hole-in-the-wall places. Totally worth the drive.“

“So I am not one to like takeout, it just never tastes the same vs being sitting in a restaurant… Lemme tell you! This was fantastic!! It was warm, cooked just right, and tasted excellent. You could definitely save some $ and split a burger with someone, they’re huge!! I had never been here before, I’m glad I stopped by.“

“It was a Monday night 1/2 price burger baskets, They had pool table leagues going on and only the bartender and cook was working so the bartender was extremely busy but she did the best she could. The girlfriend and myself both got burger baskets and they were excellent.“

“Had lunch after our trip on the train. We were with a large group of friends. We were able to call ahead and told them we had a large group and they were able to accommodate us when we got there. The food was fabulous. Had the classic hamburger and it was very good! My husband had the Ruben and he said it was small but very good. Will most definitely come back again.“

“We took the kids for pizza and ice cream before our hike. The kids shared a slice, a slice is a 1/4 of a pizza. I had a slice and my husband had the Chicago dog. We all enjoyed our lunch. They also have a good selection of different ice cream/sherbet. The decorations are fun to look at and there's coin operated machines for little kids. We try to eat here every time we're in the area.“

“Cozy and fun environment. The food was beyond delicious and prepared perfectly. Our waitress was friendly and attentive even though it was very busy. We will definitely be going here again.Parking: Parking is free on the street and there is also a free parking lot in the back. Close to entrance either way.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly environment. Great kid's menu.“

“At 1030a and there was no one here... the fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee from local Northwood Roasterie was just the tip of the iceberg.The food was surprisingly fresh hot and delicious. We shared the French Toast, which has a cinnamon butter to with, that just made it extra delicious.I had the breakfast taco with chorizo and American potatoes...the potatoes were so fresh hot, I had to wait to eat it. You could taste the freshness in the pico de gallo.Pork ends hash, had pork belly, cooked to perfect softness and texture, not chewy or hard.10 out of 10, would definitely come back for breakfast. Next, I hope to come back for lunch and dinner!“

“Went there for the fish fry. We do fish fry's all over the twin cities during lent and I was very impressed with these guys! Service was phenomenal, drinks were fabulous and we played bingo and enjoyed the evening very much. The rest of the menu looked really good so we will be back to check that out. I highly recommend!“

“Spacious eating area, might get a little loud when full but it was fine for us. We were there for a Friday Fish Fry and the refills were slower than I would expect for the level of busy. Fish was flakey and good but was a pre-battered filet versus hand-dipped. All-in-all, a good time was had by all!“

“If you ever get stuck in the city of Osceola during their annual parade, try a pit stop at Tippy Canoes! Haha, we weren't planning to go here, but had a great time anyway. Food was great, the Vikings football game was on a big screen inside the bar area, and I really enjoyed the beautiful outdoor patio. The service was a bit slow, but I think they only had one waitress for the entire outdoor area. Honestly, she may have had to wait on tables inside too. But, we weren't in a hurry to get anywhere that day so we just tried to enjoy the sunshine.“

“Great Service from the Bar Staff! They are full service at the bar and the food is AMAZING! Best Cheese Curds outside a Wisconsin fair ground food stand! If you dip them in their signature Whiskey Glaze... Yum!Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free! off the kids menu.“
