Nutty Squirrel Sports Saloon

2/5 on wings.
Honestly this was one of my girlfriends and my favorite spots to go. I am a huge fan of chicken wings and I like to try the rotating sauces. However, unexpectedly since it is not labeled on the menu, they started smoking their wings. There are a bunch of reasons to not smoke wings. The top being that the flavor is so overwhelming that you can't taste the sauce at all.

Unfortunately this place is no longer a location where I will order wings (which is really the only reason we go). Thanks for the wings in the past though. I will miss them greatly.

THE NUTTY SQUIRREL – SMALL TOWN VIBES, LEGENDARY TIMES

Five stars? Damn right. Maybe I’m biased. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve got not one, but two good friends working there. One slinging drinks like a certified potion master behind the bar, and the other delivering food like a hometown hero with fries in hand and smiles on tap. But even if I didn’t know a soul? I’d still give The Nutty Squirrel all five of those shiny stars. Why? Because this place earns it.

Tucked away in River Falls, this place is what you’d call a local legend. A quaint dive with soul, where almost everybody knows everybody, and even if they don’t, they will by the end of the night. It's the kind of place that sells itself. No gimmicks. Just good people, good food, and damn good times.

The drinks? Flowing. Always cold, always strong, and served with a side of laughter.

The food? Bussin’. Doesn’t matter if it’s your first time or your fiftieth. The menu hits.

The atmosphere? Pure comfort. You walk in and feel like you’ve been going there your whole life, even if you just showed up last week.

It’s not just about what's inside the bar either. This place is plugged into the town’s heartbeat. They’ve got events poppin’ off year-round, parades, bar runs, car shows, you name it. You’ll see the Nutty Squirrel in the middle of it, either hosting, pouring, or partying right along with the rest of us. It’s the place where the town meets to unwind, reconnect, and remember how to have fun.

Entertainment? Stacked.

Darts? Check.

Mini arcade? Absolutely.

Billiards table? Freshly added and already seeing some fierce action.
Sure, we lost the pinball machines (RIP), but in true Nutty Squirrel fashion, they gave us something new to rally around. It’s a give and take. And frankly, they keep giving.

Final Verdict:
If you’ve never been, go. If you used to go, come back. If you’re there every weekend, save me a seat. Whether you're craving a drink, a plate of comfort food, or just a damn good time surrounded by familiar faces, The Nutty Squirrel delivers. Every. Single. Time.

Five stars. No hesitation.
This place isn’t just a bar. It’s a community with neon lights and barstools.

Awesome atmosphere, great food.

My friend and I went in there for lunch. Casey was our server. He was cute 😍 & right on top of things. I had the Sizzling Apple Crisp. It was hot, thick, gooey, served with ice cream... and, DAMN it was DELICIOUS 😋 *you NEED to try this*

We were there on a Tuesday night they were not that busy it took an hour and 20 minutes to get a crappy hamburger and cold tots.

Went there this past Sunday for wings and a reuben, service ( kitchen) was real slow took approximately 1 hr to get our meals. The Reuben was inedible due to how tough the meat was, ended leaving 3/4 of the sandwich

Very disappointed in Nutty Squirrel, I know they can do better……Complete disappointment

As a local here in River Falls, I find myself visiting The Nutty Squirrel weekly if not more. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is great (especially for big games.). Two of the main bartenders Emily and Hannah do a great job keeping drinks full! Highly recommend a visit to The Nutty Squirrel.

Not impressed. I’ve gotten food twice now and each time it was barely warm. Staff is always standing around while customers are waiting.

Update :staff still stands around but food has gotten better

Yes it’s a college town bar, but that’s what makes it fun. They run entertainment of some sort most nights and they keep it lively. Big inside with a huge bar and lots of seating.
The dry rub wings are highly recommended.

Great place to eat lunch.

Great atmosphere, good food, friendly staff, superior service.

Let’s go AMHERST!!!

we had the best service here. wonderful bartender, great food!

Tai is awesome, great food, great beer selection, great time

Nutty Squirrel is a must stop! Food is fresh and delicious. Bartenders are friendly and fast! We stopped in for lunch and Owen, a new bartender, was great! Made a fantastic Long Island and was so fun to chat with! We came back the next morning for breakfast/brunch! Best french toast and biscuits and gravy we have had in a long time! Piper, our brunch server, was super sweet! And the owner remembered us and stopped by to say hi! We will be back every time we come through River Falls!
