This place is in Jenkins,MN. A group of 6 friends went their on a Tuesday night for their Wing Night Special. We had not been in the building since covid. They have spruced up the inside with with new bar stools and new chairs and tables. Looks bigger and cleaner. The wings were delicious and reasonably price.
Their 50th anniversary was going on during our visit. The staff were very laid back and friendly. We had a fun time throwing balls at the dunk tank. Thank you to the volunteers and staff for a making us feel at home!
Meat raffle was so fun and fast paced. The food was great drinks were awesome. Highly recommend this fun small town bar.
Reasonable prices on drinks, with specials from time to time. I have only been there on Tuesday nights, as it is wing night. Their wings are very good. They serve them plain, but give you a choice of 9 or 10 dipping sauces, which should please the taste of most people. Good place to go, and they offer other food choices during the week.
Great local experience. Went for dinner and the meat raffle (best meat raffle in the area). Food was good, beer was cold and luck was on our side. Definitely will be back.
