Had heard about the burgers, went there yesterday about Noon. Found out that I had to order off of the breakfast menu, (lunch not till one). A bit disappointed, but I had a breakfast burger with American fries. Excellent. Will definitely be back for lunch/dinner. Â Love the atmosphere also.
Review Source:I've been to the Narrows a bunch of times. They often have really good bands but need to lose the cover charge of $5 in the winter. I can see a $2-3 cover but $5 is pushing it for how far out of the city this place is. Happy Hour is okay. It brings appetizers down to $5 a piece rather than $7-11. Regular priced food and cocktails are outrageous in my opinion. Stick to burgers, nachos and standard bar fair or you'll be disappointed you spent the extra $$ on mediocre food. Â Bar tenders are always friendly but waitstaff could use an attitude adjustment.
Review Source:I'm not an offensive person by nature, just an honest one. Somethings just need to be said, it's a tough job, but here goes.I have nothing against you, Narrows, I just think you should get a new floor.May I suggest Home Depot.My concern is that every time I have been there, urged there by friends psyched to experience the Amazing Bands you bring in, my Nose is assaulted by an unforgettable odor , that looking down, comes from a Sub floor that has soaked up years of Beer Spills, Regurgitations, who knows!!! The Result must be a Mold Issue, I always leave there stuffed up & with a Sinus headache that lingers for days.I don't even have a sensitivity to this,or a large Snout, this only happens here.So, taking that into account, how can anyone think of eating here? If this is what is visible, what kind of conditions are out of site in the Kitchen?Hmmmm, curious, but won't take a chance of finding out until something is done about this problem, that , I am not the only person to have noticed, just the only one who dares bring it up.I have tried to be a Good Sport, have gone there enough times to say it isn't just a one night problem.Please, please, rip out those moldy old boards & you will see business improve drastically & I will even give your food a Fair Shot.I am not trying to put you out of Biz, just calling attention to a Health Issue that can easily be resolved. You will find I am actually a nice S.A.P. (Swedish American Princess) that would Love to kiss & Make Up & be able to come for the Fun & the Food.Kudos on your Band Choices
Review Source:I came to this place because I had gotten a restaurant .com gift certificate for it. It's a little out of the way for me, but figured a little dinner and live music could be a good date night for me and the hubby.
We got there about an hour and a half before the live music started, yet there were no open tables and we had to sit at the bar. We were also charged $5 to get in. Again, this was an hour and a half BEFORE the band was even scheduled to start. We could easily have eaten and been gone by then. But, whatever. It annoyed me but didn't ruin my night.
The food was really, really good. The beer/wine selection also met our approval. The bartenders were friendly and very attentive.
The bill shocked me. For two dinners- a burger and a sandwich, 2 glasses of wine and 3 beers, it was over $80 before tip. Luckily we had the gift certificate which got us $25 off the tab. I thought $8/glass was a little steep for house wine. This place isn't a fancy place- it's pretty much a dive! (I mean that in the best way possible!) Thank God I only had 2!
I will mention though, that this place was PACKED after the band started, and as strange as it sounds, it was full of douche bags! But these weren't your average douche bags, they were 50 year old plus douche bags. It was bizarre! Guys in their 50's stuck in the 80's. One guy was even dressed like Don Johnson- Miami Vice! That was funny!
It was such a mixed bag of people, but they were ALL 45+. We were by far the youngest people in the place. Maybe it was that particular band...not sure.
A favorite local band is coming soon, so we will probably check it out again soon to see if this band draws a younger crowd.
Otherwise, I'd probably go back for the food, earlier in the evening...
Went to the Narrows for supper tonight. Â Had the coconut shrimp as the appetizer. Â It was as good or better than any of the coconut shrimp I had in the Florida Keys during my honeymoon. Â I also had the hot ham & cheese...a huge sandwich with very good steak fries. Â Very reasonable in price too. Â I will definately be going there again.
Review Source:I have been here quite a few times with my inlaws who live on the lake. Seems like one of the more laid back hang outs for locals. They are not cheap but they have good food. I usually get the fish special . I think they also have specials on buckets of drinks. Its a nice place to pour one back with some friends or family.
Review Source:Out and about on a sunny, cold winter day, pulled into the Narrows for a late lunch bite. Â Not the most convenient spot, it is out in the Navarre-part of Lake Minnetonka but if you ever find yourself rolling by stop in, usually really great eats. Â Today I had the hot Ham and Cheese with saunteed mushrooms, actually quite exellent, while my dining mate had the special: the steak sandwich (reported to be delicious times 2.) Â Not a huge fan of the chips I had with my sandwich but heard the fries were good. Â Must admit, I have been here a bunch of times before (I got some family in the neighborhood) and it should be noted that it is a great stop for live music; I always think of it as a "Northwoods-Honkey-Tonk" after hours.
Review Source:The only place on the western side of Lake Minnetonka to hear good music on a regular basis. Musical focus is on Blues and they often serve up solid acts.
Menu is decent but hasn't changed in several years -- a freshen up would be welcome. The lobster tacos are not to be missed.
In the winter this place is PACKED. Other seasons are also good.
There's ample parking in back -- an Orono City public lot. Be warned that the Orono Police Department camps in the lot and follows cars that leave during drinking hours. IOW, don't be a fool and drink and drive, they're right to bust you and they take that responsibility VERY seriously.
Also, other than the first row of spots closest to the building, every parking space is public property and the city (Orono) has made it illegal to park there overnight -- a moronic, unjust tax on people smart enough to get a sober ride home rather than drive. As an Orono resident I appreciate the desire to keep drunks off the road but this policy is abusive, moronic and counterproductive for the case of 'public safety.'
