Reviews
Pub 500 has once again put together a delicious and efficient breakfast buffet for my riders on Mnbeerbus's Oktoberfest buses. We have been using them for 15+years and have never had an issue. The drinks are awesome too.
The food is awesome. My fish n chips was outstanding, the fish fried to perfection and the fries were the best I have had in years. The Cole slaw was excellent. The service by Pauline was amazing, she is awesome. The dessert , bread pudding is to die for. What a great culinary experience. Very nice ambiance. Highly recommend Pub 500.
I recently went to Pub500 for a happy hour (07/05) and we ordered a fish taco (more like a fish burrito) and the Norwegian salad. Both delicious! So we booked brunch for the day after our wedding for 20+ guests to take place the following Sunday (07/14). Both times the food was delicious, the service was amazing and friendly, we'll definitely be back!
I just wanted to take the time to thank the employees Adam and Laura (I'm sorry if I misspelled any names) that helped me today. I was in a very scary situation and the staff went above and beyond with making sure I got home safely. It was busy as well for them but the kindness they showed towards me I will never forget. I am so grateful and thankful for people like them. I will for sure come back not only for the great food but for the homey atmosphere and wonderful employees!
We enjoyed a lovely pre-hockey game beer and bite recently at Pub 500. They were extremely busy but our server was still attentive and we got our drinks and food in a normal timeframe. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and a menu with some unique choices which I always appreciate. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich and it was good. The cheese curds were also tasty!
