“we love this bar. Tuesday night Trivia Max rocks. Thursday night Karaoke is the jam. The salads are the best around. Johnny and Wedge are great but Mama Notch tops them all“

“Loved it there! We're from NY so it takes a lot to impress us, but The Blue Goose certainly did! The whole concept is very cool, the drinks were delicious and the service was wonderful!“

“I recently stopped in at the Hideaway bar after moving to the area earlier this year. As a bar goes, it’s the kind of place where everybody knows everyone else. Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone, you will soon enough. They have great live music, and the drinks are reasonably priced. Their pizza is better than dominoes, or Pizza Hut, and far better than any bar pizza I’ve ever had. Actually, it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. It’s a perfect fit for this little town.“

“Love the meat raffles and the great staff. so many wonderful people go to Beaudraus.“

“The staff is always amazing!“

“Awesome owner and staff! Great drinks and entertaining atmosphere. Just today a few of us in our MC did a road guard class that Stoney’s hosted and it turned out great. It was nice that they put in the work to host the class. I would recommend stopping in and checking them out!“

“This VFW has become our go to Bingo bar on Monday nights. We love this place, the food, the people, etc. Only gets 4 stars instead of 5 bc they charge for REFILLS of soda from the gun. Thats a horrible business practice. I dont know if they are told to or if the wait staff is just doing it on their own. On top of the charge for refills, the glasses they give you are half the size of any other place I have ever been.“

“I visited looking for a good karaoke bar just to do my thing. Im a karaoke junkie and all my peeps know that! In this place I found the real real. Wonderful time. Thank you Vixen (KJ), you rock. A real American pride in my opinion. As the terminator would say... I BE BACK.“

“The staff at West Side learning and event Center are Top Notch ! This is a great choice when planning a large party. Shelly and staff catered to our needs. Great food, Large selection of liquor, And very affordable. Thank you for helping us have another great party !“

“I like going to the Middy because there is always a wide range of people there. The drinks are good, the prices are pretty good. Sometimes it can get a little crowded due to the small space. But Will, the owner, is a good manager and knows how to keep the nights fun.“

“Pretty basic. No ambience or character. Dive bar at the most“

“Chose to have our 2024 Christmas Party for our staff at the La Playette Bar in St. Joe. EXCELLENT CHOICE! From the first encounter with owners to save the date and work of the details to the last encounter with their staff closing out the bar bill everything was TOP NOTCH! Ann had the place perfect for us. Their staff took AMAZING care of us throughout the evening. Keep up the good service and great work.
Great Steps O & P“

“We had a get together for a 70th birthday party at Midtown Bar & Grill with about 30 or so people. Great service! Great food! Love the Pinball Games and the atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.“

“My husband and I love this place! Great waitstaff! Quick service! Delicious burgers!! Great beer selection. Nice outdoor patio with live music!! Very clean and handicapped accessible“

“Authentic Mexican food. 5 stars to Ramone and his team“

“Love the location. Used to live around there. Nice hotel. Hot showers. Comfortable beds. Great place“

“I went to Job Sims house for a service call for his air conditioner not working. Jon immediately offered me breakfast as he is a cook at granite city. I politely declined and continued working. After I finished fixing his air conditioner Jon comes out with a plate of food saying it wasn’t in his nature to not give out food. I went back to the shop and ate the best homemade burrito I have ever had. Jon was not only one of the nicest people I have met but also one of the best cooks. You will not be disappointed going to granite city and receiving a meal made by Jon!“

“A surprising find when we were looking for a restaurant with a quiet side room for a small family celebration. My grilled salmon was great & our server, Mia went out of her way to be sure we had everything we might want. There was even a bar for those who wanted something to drink. Thanks for a great venue.“

“Shout out to Joe and his wonderful staff at Neighbor’s, St. Joe. They provided the perfect venue for my daughter’s baby shower earlier today! The taco bar was perfect, the staff attended to all our needs, everything was timely and exactly what was asked - could not have gone more perfect! Definitely a thumbs up from us - our guests commented how great the accommodations and food were as well. Much appreciated!“

“Great food and helpful staff that helped us pick options since we had no experience with the cuisine.“

“Best food in town ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was the very first bar I came to when I moved to saint cloud. It wasn't my go to bar because it was out of my "jurisdiction". Vfw ended up becoming one of my favorite cornerstones. I ended up being in vfw's neighborhood. If your looking for friendly banter, with a Cheers tv show atmosphere. Come to vfw have a couple drinks and ask for juju. You will fall in love with the many patrons and older veterans who make vfw a very cool place.“

“I’ve found my new favorite spot! This bar and grill has it all – amazing service, fantastic food, and prices that won’t break the bank. Every meal I’ve had has been delicious, and the staff makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for a great place to eat, this is it!“

“Had the best shrimp tacos tonight! I’ve eaten here many times and the food is always delicious and prepared with care. Large margarita flavor selection. Wonderful service. Great family-owned business. Check them out!“

“Come here if you're looking for a place with a fun bar and grill vibe and great drinks! I went with three friends and between the four of us we went through the Buffalo cocktail menu. My recommendation would be the white buffalo - vanilla vodka, cream, coconut, and sprite 10/10!“

“My mom (4-5 years) and aunt (7+years) worked at original downtown HOP... it was so fun to visit the new location. I still remember the upstairs of the original as a kid (scary stairs 😉). Such fun memories... the cheese garlic bread was so good, I didn't even get a photo of it. The pizza costs more, but it is 👍. So glad to hear it is still in the family!“

“Friendly and helpful staff. Just wish our drinks stayed filled up more often. Food was pretty. Philly steak was pretty good. The appetizer cheese curds were really good. The mashed potatoes were a bit on the weird side and served a bit on the cold side. Otherwise the rest of the group liked their food. They do have some good gluten-free options which are group appreciated.“

“I thought it was a really cool venue had a BLAST!!!“

“Great for team events! Their area for hosting a group, such as a baseball team, is a fantastic experience both for the food and the dedicated lanes. Plus the lanes having various games, like Monster Builder, keep the bowling fun for all ages!“

“Lovely patio! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating! We went to watch our friend play (they have live music often)!! Best part is the Elote flatbread!! Highly recommend! Beers a bit overpriced (we weren't there at happy hour though).
I'll be going back again for sure (for the flatbread)! Lovely STAFF as well. Our waiter went above and beyond!“
