If somebody tells you they have plans this weekend and those plans involve trying to win a pile of meat... there's a pretty good chance they're headed here. 😂🥩

Our meat raffles are Wednesday at 3 PM and Friday & Saturday at 1 PM. Come early, grab something to eat or drink, get your chances, and settle in for some good old-fashioned VFW fun.

We'll see who's feeling lucky.

Everybody seems to have their day around here.

Maybe you're a Monday hot beef person. Maybe Tuesday tacos are calling your name. Maybe you don't need us to remind you what happens Friday because you've already got fish on the brain. 😄

We've got specials running throughout the week, including Kids Eat Free on Thursday, Friday fish options, and Steak & Shrimp on Sunday. Take a look, pick your day—or come see us more than once. We won't complain.

We called them "Handhelds That Mean Business" for a reason.

These aren't dainty little lunch sandwiches. 😂 Come hungry, roll up your sleeves, and don't worry if you need an extra napkin or three.

Lunch or dinner, we've got a table for you.

There are certain words Minnesotans just understand.

Hotdish is one of them. 😉

Our Hotdish Silver Special gets you a scoop of the hotdish of the day and a roll, and that's exactly the kind of simple, comforting meal we're happy to put in front of you.

Stop in and see what's cooking.
