Took over 1 1/2 hours before we got our food. Waitress barely checked on us. Food is served one plate at a time. Got sick barely made it home in time. This place is for drinking only, not for food. Will never go back.

Nice bartenders
The Pickled Loon is definitely a hotspot for the younger crowd, but it's one of the few places around where you can really let loose and dance. While I’m a bit older and don't frequent it often, I never miss a chance to go when my younger friends want to hit the dance floor. It’s a lively place, perfect for shaking off the stress and having a great time. Like any good college bar, there’s the occasional scuffle, but I’ve never felt unsafe—it's mostly between people who know each other. The atmosphere is fun, the staff are courteous, and the drink prices are very reasonable. It’s always a good time!

I have 2 words for this place-Absolute filth. I am racking my brain trying to figure out why or how this place is award winning. The service was good, but we were the only ones in the place. It was opening time when we arrived. Walked past the dog poo up against the building (that should have been a sign to keep walking), got our drinks and food ordered and then went to the restroom. You could see into the kitchen walking out of the bathroom and OMG, couldn't believe the garbage and food all over the floor, the sinks were full of dirty dishes and even the dishwasher itself was filthy. And they just opened!! Which tells me that it never got cleaned the night before, or the night before that or ever! And everything, everywhere I touched was grimy. Even the floor was grimy. Walked past the cleaning closet that had its' door open and that looked like a tornado had gone through and there was food all over the floor in there. Begrudgingly took a bite of my food and that was it. Horrible. I saw signs all over about wanting to re-build St. Clouds downtown. Not gonna happen with businesses like this. This place will and should fail. Unless, of course, they clean up their act. Four of us in a group-over $100 spent and it was inedible. I just can't get over the filth.

Great Vegan Thai salad with spicy tofu. Dog friendly patio with an icy IPA. I'll be back.

First my daughter says the Pepsi tastes funny and i take a drink and realize the water they make the soda with there tastes odd like old pipes or something, the water tasted the same way. When we got our appetizer the cheese curds looked really good but were mostly flavorless with an odd maple dip for them that didnt really work with cheese curds, i asked for ranch and was brought a sub par ranch cup..nbd. my daughter said her mac and cheese was bland so i asked for salt and was then given a shaker (no condiments or anything on table for use) it tasted more like buttered noodles than cheese. i saw her get my burger from the kitchen and she squirted ketchup in a plastic condiment cup. I had fries and a burger and asked for ketchup to only have her manage how much i was getting with another cup. no salt on my fries. Everything was pretty flavorless. the waitress also took a shot at the bar in between taking our order and bringing it..classy. Everytime i had to ask for something she would quick drop it off at our table and run away again. Awful service. Tasteless food.

If you're in downtown St. Cloud, you simply must visit The Pickled Loon, and when you do, make sure to say hi to Mike, one of the amazing owners. Mike exemplifies what it means to be a dedicated small business owner. His hard work and commitment are evident in every aspect of the establishment.
