When my mom brought me to the Freight House I was pleasantly surprised! With the great view and delicious food, this is an amazing place to eat.
The Freight House has a wonderful variety of food to eat! They offer street tacos,mushroom swiss burgers, walleye sandwiches, chicken chop salads, and more. You can get a giant pretzel for an appetizer, you can also get cheese curds, pulled chicken nachos, and artichoke dip! The Freight House also has a wide selection of drinks, they have lemonades, slushies, and drinks inside of pineapples! My absolute favorite thing to get at the Freight House is the walleye sandwich! The walleye is cooked perfectly, and it tastes so fresh. Their homemade tartar sauce brings the perfect amount of tanginess to my dish. The long warm bun is soft, and doesn’t fall apart with every bite. They added a lemon on the side, and I chose to squeeze it over my sandwich, and my lemonade. The lemon brings the sandwich to a whole new level of tastyness! The walleye is always cooked to perfection,you can taste freshness in all of the ingredients, The freight really does have the best walleye sandwich! The Freight House’s history dates back to the 1800s. It all started when Stillwater became a trade center for miners, trappers, and people who build railroads. Eventually, people decided that Stillwater needed a freight depot. So the people started to build the depot. It had two foot thick limestone walls, 30 foot tall exterior walls, and flooring was put in place. Finally, the strong trusses were installed, along with a solid slate roof. The construction was finally finished in 1883. The depot had a telephone office, and received about 75 railcars each day. After a few years of that Curtis feed, and coal farm service operated at the “freight House.” In 1970 the agency shut down, and the building was sold. Then, in 1979 the historical significance of the building was recognized, and it became the first building to be put on the national registry of historic places. It still stands today as the original building, as the freight House restaurant! What I love about The Freight House is the diversity of the menu, the amazing tasting food,the rich history of the building, and the outdoor seating. The atmosphere of the building Is awesome. I really enjoy the outdoor seating, because I get to stare out at the St. Croix River. All of the workers are really kind, and the chefs bring out the food fast. I think that the taste, the freshness, atmosphere,the staff, and the rich history make the Freight House one of the best restaurants.

$17.30 for a drink in a plastic cup. I have no problem paying for a fancy drink but even at fine dining restaurants they won't charge that for something in a plastic cup with cola .

Food was great as always. Service was good we went late and the mosquitoes came out for a bite, but otherwise all was good. Great time with the wife and kids.

We both got icky tummies later so I think the food runner could do well to honor the handwashing sign in the restroom.
Loved sitting outside across from the river! Food was great! I recommend the truffle fries.

Fantastic experience! Waitress was super friendly and gave suggestions for everything we asked, checking on us constantly. Beautiful patio with live music and view of the river. Tried the Cuban and a bucket of alcohol!

Our food was not good. Chicken tenderloins came out burnt. Fries were hard and cold. Coleslaw was not cut correctly and had no flavor. The walleye was good, but the sides were the same as the chicken, not good. The server did not come back and check on us. No refills for our drinks because we were not checked on. I pointed out the issue with the chicken when it came out. Because it took so long to be served our food the first time, we decided to power through it. But, we all ate less than half of our meals. When the server finally came back, she saw all the food that we didn't eat. She asked if we wanted boxes. We all answered, "No." We did not want something for free, we are not those kind of people, but when something is clearly wrong, an apology for the bad food would have gone a long way. We gave the server a 10% tip. We struggled with it because the major issue was the kitchen, but she also didn't pay any attention to us and didn't try to make it right. It was a great atmosphere for eating outside. I would go there for drinks sitting by the river. I would pass on the food.

The food our group ordered was terrible. Couldn't even eat the salsa. But, the views and our server were great.
