Stooges keeps changing the menu, and the food they serve has gotten really to the point of being beyond edible. No dessert menu either. Â Wine is old (uncorked for long periods of time, so old not in a good way) and the beer isn't cold. Â Service itself is always good though. Â Won't eat there anymore, but good pool hall if that is your thing.
Review Source:Took a trip out to this bar for a long-lost friend's birthday, and I was mildly surprised! Being more of a downtown/club guy, pulling up to what appeared to be a trashy sports bar in a weird suburb wasn't what I'd normally be doing on Friday night.. However, when I walked in I saw that the place was HUGE! There was seating everywhere (but don't lean back on the small tables, they don't support your weight), a bunch of pool tables, and friendly staff. Got a two-for-one on my beers, and a free shot of something from the server. Wooo!! I doubt I'll be in Fridley anytime soon, but if I am I might just have to stop by.
Review Source:This is one of those bars that you go to when you honestly have NOTHING better to do... it's like a VFW for middle-aged people that have never left Minnesota.
I did once enjoy their bloody mary bar during football games on Sunday mornings, and I used to really enjoy their food as well! But alas... all good things must come to an end, and this place has gone so far downhill since I started going that I just can't bear the thought of returning...
The food is still good don't get me wrong... but the patrons that hang out here (the 'locals') mixed in with the typically snotty wait staff... it's insulting.
If I reviewed this place on only it's atmosphere it would most assuredly get 0 stars... but as I said the food is still pretty good, and the drinks aren't wholly unreasonably priced... But to enjoy being here you really have to like listening to people (wrongly) quote scripture, talk about their new trailer, use racial stereotypes/epithets, use socially unacceptable terms for other minorities (religious/lifestyles), and most of all you have to really enjoy listening to the wait staff talk about other tables they "can't stand" while they treat you like shit too.
No thanks... I'll go a little ways down the road to Pickle Park for a slightly better time.
