Shortstop Bar and Grill

Reviews & Tips

  I really don't like writing bad reviews, but here it is.
  
  This place is located off the beaten path in Coon Rapids. I'm lucky I brought my gps or I never would have found it. There is no sign on the building.
  
  Decor - generic sports bar in need of cleaning.
  
  Service - I am sure the staff means well, but the tables were not clean. Not just a crumb or two - I mean dirty. I tried to scrape my table off with a napkin upon sitting down. When the server arrived they noted the napkin and picked it up but did not even wipe the table. Seriously?
  
  Food - We ordered appetizers. Boneless wings and Poppers. They were the generic out of the freezer variety that you can buy at the store. Prepackaged dipping sauces. Basically just "phone it in" bar food.
  
  Beer - domestic selections. They had Grain Belt Nordeast - worth a 2nd star.
  
  With so many awesome burger places in the metro I am not sure I will get a chance to sample their burgers.

  The shortstop is the "cheers" of COON RAPIDS . My whole family has been going for years burgers bingo and beer. They have worked hard to create the hometown feel. The Fridley location is another great meet place.

  Awesome burgers and tater tots, great drink specials, and friendly staff.  There's popcorn, a jukebox, pull tabs, and some video games.  It can get loud and crowded like any bar, but that's to be expected.

  Somewhat small and can be hard to get a seat. But they do have darn good burgers. I've always liked the tots too. Wait time can be long for food, but the drinks are usually cheap - just show up knowing you'll be hanging out for awhile.
  The women's bathroom is terrible, there are a lot of parts of this place that could be updated. But you know, it's part of the dive bar charm. The burgers make it worth it.

  Best burgers anywhere! Huge, juicy, tasty and loaded with toppings. Go when Juan is manning the grill and you'll be able to die happy.
  
  One note, chose the tots once and they were old and hard. Stick with the fries.
