Have been meaning to try for a long time!! The store itself was very nice. Went in on a Saturday night and wasn’t filled with tables full of loud folks. Service was good. Had the bartender serving us at our table.

Go here after 9pm for half price appetizers. Appetizers are normally $9-14 so it’s like $4.50-7. The appetizers are pretty big I would say 2/3rds of a normal meal so one per a person works. Also, if you order drinks get the shakers it’s about $12 for the margaritas but you get 2 drinks worth. And, even though I don’t have photos of the place. If you are seeing this during winter time in mankato go to the free sibley park light walk before hand it is amazing (those are the photos attached).

I was attended right away and I asked to be surprised and they cooked the surf n turf. It was an amazing combination creating maximum satisfaction. Great place to take friends n family as they have alot of space and seats of which to choose from also a bar.

This was, at best, meh. Service was a little slow, but the server was pleasant enough. Took longer than it should have to get our apps. When dinner arrived my daughter’s French dip looked unappetizing. The meat just looked wrong. It was not “meat colored” it looked more boiled than grilled and it was more than a little pink. My wife ordered her steak medium well but it arrived very rare. $170 with tip for a meal that really tasted like it should have been $17. Three of us left most of our food on the plate, which passed without comment from the server. No mention of to go boxes or anything. Not that we would have, but when you leave 3/4 of your meal on the plate that should come up. Instead, we were asked if we wanted dessert, which we all agreed would likely be melted ice cream or frozen pie. Also, it took 10 minutes for our server to take our check and it wasn’t busy at all.

They have an excellent Sunday brunch that my husband and I went to for our anniversary! Very good selection of food and great variety. I would highly recommend it! They also have the best mashed potatoes I’ve ever had along with a delicious recipe of fresh green beans! My favorite is the rotisserie chicken but they have many other choices on the menu also. It is a little spendy but it is well worth it for the quality of food and the amount. I always have leftovers for another meal!

I’m giving it 2 stars due to the great waiter we had while dining there tonight. Otherwise the food was tasteless and the whiskey burger didn’t live up to the expectation at all. Whatever sauce you put on it didn’t resemble what it was named.

EXCELLENT SERVICE AND FOOD!!! The host greeted me with a pleasant smile right away. Drinks were amazing. Loved the bull bites. Our server was very attentive and on top of things. The atmosphere made me feel at home. Definitely coming back!!

Food was good this time but there were very few filled tables there. According to their website on Sundays kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entree. This appears to not be the case according to a “corporate decision months ago and we don’t control what’s on our website.” by our waitress. I am not one to argue and get the bp up over 12 dollars so I just left it at that but definitely not going back again. Really sad as we used to really like going there but the past few years the disappointments keep piling up.

We’ve eaten here several times and it’s kind of hit and miss. Their fire cracker shrimp is to die for! But, when you order a salad they hardly put any dressing on. Also, some of the dishes have been quite bland. Another concern we have is the alcoholic beverages, they’re made so weak. I realize bonfire is a corporate chain, but when you pay high prices for alcoholic drinks, it would be nice if alcohol was actually in the drinks. I will say though, the staff has always been friendly. Also, the place is very casual and a good place to bring kiddos. They have a build your own pizza that the kids really enjoy!

Food was excellent and so was the service. I made reservations for my mothers birthday. The day of our reservation I dropped off balloons and flowers to have waiting at our table for my mom when we arrived. One of the balloons accidentally came off the string and I felt awful. I told staff they can just toss it, but when we arrived they had it tied back on one of the strings for me!! Our waiter was amazing and very tentative. She made sure to stay on top of our table and was so sweet to my mom for her special day! She even boxed up dessert to go for her since we both were too full and ate too much lol!
