PD Pappy's Music Bar & Grill

Ive been to PD Pappy's a few times over the years when visiting the beautiful Stillwater area along the St. Croix River. It certainly isn't upscale dining, but it makes for a nice lunch location if you are passing through and want to sit along the river.

The location of PD Pappy's really couldnt be any better. Stillwater is a great town along the river on the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. The river is quite scenic, especially in the fall, and you get nice breezes during the warm summer months. The outdoor seating area really is the main reason to stop here--it is elevated above the river and has a really nice view depending where you sit. I also love the restroom signs (see photos) which are pretty clever.

The food is pretty average. Ive sampled mostly burgers and sandwiches here--all of which were tasty--but nothing that blew me away. Still, very solid burgers and fries. Expect a typical bar & grill type menu.

Overall, it's a good stop for an affordable meal with a great view of the river. Definitely try to get outdoor deck seating if the weather is nice.

Pros: Location along the river, outdoor seating, solid burgers, lots of shops nearby

Cons: Not a place thats so good youd drive from Minneapolis to eat there, typical bar & grill ambience and interior

This is a great bike destination.  I have not ate here, but I only come for a few drinks and the views as I ride my HOG through town.

Staff is very attentive, and there are live bands often.

Its fun.

Fun place! Food is typical bar food. Beer is cold. Good service.
