G-Allen's

Reviewed By 169edv

Met G-Allen (G stands for Glenn) himself. Mystery solved. 20 beers on tap, some MN. breweries in the mix. Had the wings cajun...delicious. Had a few beers, love the variety. The "ripple" (Pale ale) was a fav. Finished with a "coconut porter, awesome but you've gotta love coconut. Stayed a few hours -38 outside, warm and toasty inside. Shared Tunity app. (get it for free). Met some locals really enjoyed this place. Glad I stopped, will stop here again, soon.

Molitor's Quarry Grill & Bar

Reviewed By Roger6012

There was a crowd waiting outside when they opened at 9:00 AM to a very well prepared and hospitable staff. Seated very quickly, waited on very quickly and to the brunch just as quickly. The food was a good variety including the regulars to chicken and shrimp. Everything was excellent except the waffles which could have been better. The caramel rolls were outstanding. Really liked the Eggs Benedict. Price was reasonable, very inexpensive for big city folks; a little above average for the rural patrons.

Surprisingly good. I have been ordering deliver from Benton Station for years. They always deliver tasty food and I find it surprisingly good. who knew bar food could be so good. The price is reasonable and portions are generous. They have entertainment regularly and I know many that swear by them. I have read other negative reviews but I have never found anything that makes me believe them. Staff always treats me well, and they always deliver in less time than they tell me, Even in bad weather. This is a great thing when you don't want to go out.

Granite City Food & Brewery

Reviewed By ShanOC

We had a great supper at Granite City! Promptly greeted and seated in restaurant. Server was attentive. Place was clean. Food was dang tasty! Sunday NFL games were on in bar and restaurant.The Northern & Cheddar Soup (beer cheese soup) was great! Smooth cheddar flavor and light on the salt. Nice job!We got a cup of the French Onion Soup. This was a mistake! I should have ordered a bowl of the French Onion Soup! So Good!My wife ordered the Asian Chicken Salad. Well played! Loved the peanut sauce! I ordered the OOOOWIE! JAMBALAYA... VERY TASTY!! If I could have changed one thing about this.... MORE RICE! More rice to be a little bigger portion would have made me a very happy guy. We really enjoyed our supper here. If we are back in the St. Cloud area, we would love to stop by Granite City again! Merci!

White Horse

Reviewed By David A

First off, I've visited this establishment three times. The first was decent, and it occurred when I had dinner there in July of 2017. Then I visited again for lunch and then later, dinner in August of 2018. BIG MISTAKE. I kept giving this place another chance because of all of the good reviews ... truthfully I don't know how it's possible that these are honest reviews, or that they are from people who know what decent food should taste like.Let's begin: I said that this place has an "inept kitchen" - why? First off, when I went there for lunch and ordered the Hummus with Naan bread, the hummus was passable, but instead of Naan they gave me raw pita bread. Need I say more about a kitchen that does not know the difference between pita bread and Naan -or assumes a consumer doesn't?But there is more ... when I went there for dinner I ordered the Thai burger and the waitress asked "Is medium-well, OK?" (Really?!!!) I asked if they could do it rare and she assured me that would be fine. But when I got it, the burger was well done (entirely gray and dry). Now, I would have been fine with ordering something else if they just couldn't do it rare, but they said they could, so I sent it back. The waitress took it back and then returned saying that it WAS rare. I did not want to argue and told her to take it back and just take it off the bill. A few minutes later a cook came out and asked me if there was a problem. I told him that there was no problem (and I just wanted to be left alone at that point). But he kept harassing me and decided to lecture me on why the burger actually WAS rare, because "the oyster sauce is brown and so it looks like its well done but it's not." ...(Let's pause for a moment. I am not even exaggerating about this. This guy actually tried to convince me that it was because of the "oyster sauce" ... yeah! ... Really!In case there is any question about this logic, anyone who has read this who has ever cooked a burger and knows anything about Oyster sauce, knows 2 things: Raw and rare hamburger meat is RED, and Oyster sauce is BROWN. If one cooks a burger that is rare, the red center is preserved. If one cooks a burger rare with Oyster sauce, then the red center has some brown in it. However, no where in nature does RED+BROWN = GRAY!!!!!)My cousin at this time smiled and laughed, knowing me and knowing that I have a bit of expertise in this area, and said to the guy "Just walk away, dude. You don't know who you're dealing with." With a sour-puss look on his face and a fake apology he did just that. Then another waitress came by and asked me if there was a problem - and at that point I was seriously feeling harassed and told her to just leave me alone.Now to the Front of the House, which I also said was inept. We were seated in a large table in the back of the restaurant. It was nice that they had such a large table to accommodate all of us, but the table was noticeably wobbly. When I asked our waitress if someone could look at the table to see if it could be more stable, she clearly knew the problem because she immediately said without checking, "No, we'd have to turn it over and take it apart. But we'll be sure to fix that AFTER you leave, for the next group, ha ha!"Yup. That happened. Clearly when restaurant staff know there is a problem with a table and yet it doesn't get fixed, this is a sign of poor management. But, when wait staff actually taunt customers about a faulty table to their faces, this is simply behavior that shouldn't be tolerated at all. When every aspect of a restaurant falls so far below an acceptable standard, clearly management is to blame.In conclusion: Don't believe the hype!!!! Once upon a time this may have been an OK restaurant, but now this place is nothing less than a disaster!But to be kind, I'll offer these points/tips to help improve:(1) Naan is VERY DIFFERENT than Pita Bread(2) Rare burgers are NOT GRAY under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES(3) Try to train your staff to be more courteous, or at lease tell them NOT TO TAUNT CUSTOMERS(4) If you know a table is wobbly and it will cause customers to spill their beers, FIX IT.Cheers! :)

Olde Brick House

Reviewed By LynnS290

My two sisters, two cousins and I decided to have a fun day in St Cloud. We strolled Munsinger Gardens and then chose to have lunch at Olde Brick House (I used Trip Advisor to find this restaurant!). The restaurant has a great ambiance and bar area. Very pub-ish. Several of our group love Irish food and were anxious to try this restaurant. My very favorite is Shepherd's Pie. Oh my, I loved every bite of it. Delicious! My Pie also came with a small serving of creamed cabbage that was excellent. Two small Naan rounds also were part of the plate. My meal was around $12.My sisters had the Guinness fish and chips. Both raved about the meal. My cousins had wraps and chips (the "chips" are yummy fried potato wedges) that they thoroughly enjoyed. Their meals were around $15. Suggestion:. Go to the restaurant's website. On the homepage is a spot to get $5 off your first meal when you provide your email address. We each did this. The $5 voucher shows up in your email within 30 minutes. Note:. The voucher is only good for 7 days and you have to show the manager your valid voucher on your phone. Hey, with this generous discount, leave your server a nice top!Our server was excellent. Really enjoyed the manager as well.I will definitely return to this restaurant the next time I'm in town.Thank you so much for the great review Lynn! Great recommendation to future guests on our voucher too! We will see you soon!

We ate here this past Friday and were greeted by a wonderful, cheerful greeter named Nicole. The place was full of patrons . The seating is quaint and the food portions were generous. We shared the meatloaf and mashed potatoes and almost asked for a box to go. Lots of variety of beers to sample and enjoy.
