328 Grill

Bar- as to be expected for a VFW/Legion (older atmosphere & guests) had a lot of events advertised and pulltabs (3.5/5)Service- bartenders and waitresses were friendly and talkative and gave great recommendations, however were not attentive to needing refills or giving people tabs when it seemed they were finished (4/5)Wings- very tasty with a crispy outside and juicy inside, dry rub had lots of flavor and the ranch served with wings appeared to be homemade (4.6/5)The big dill- juicy, cooked to medium, good blend of toppings, not as pickly as imagined, comparable to a Big Mac, but fresher (4.7/5) The Elizabeth- juicy, cooked to medium, toasted and inverted bun to avoid sogginess, very saucy, bacon not too overpowering and crispy (4.2/5) Tried the standard fries and the Cajun tots. Both were seasoned well with 14 spice, perfect crisp on the tots. Will be back!

I went to this restaurant because it was promoted on Twin Cities Live. I ordered the Sweet Chesus (clever name) that has cheese loaded into a ring on top of the bun. The ring is removed at the table and the cheese flows down the sides of the burger.It's a great concept, but in reality it was overwhelming in terms of the cheese. I ordered the burger medium rare, but it was more well done in places, more rare in other places. I'm not sure how that happens.The fries were excellent, as was the service. The ambiance is what you would expect for a VFW. (The 328 is located within the VFW).

We dropped by 328 Grill because of its award status for having some of the best cheese curds and tots in the whole state. We arrived right at opening time at 11am on Saturday. Judging by the calls of greeting the staff made to others as they entered, this is a place with a lot of regulars. The whole vibe of the place is homey, nothing fancy, but it's well-kept and well-loved. There were two rooms we could sit in, over by the bar or near to the pull-tab and gaming counter; we went by the counter.Service was good the whole time. We shared the cheese curds. They were indeed exceptional. Very thin breading over piping hot cheese, giving the effect of little cheesy clouds. Definitely some of the best I've had.My son had the fries, and I had one as well. They were outstanding. Crisp and seasoned in all the right ways. My husband had a burger alongside tots, and greatly enjoyed his food. I ordered the Fondue You Love Me with a side salad. As I dug into my sandwich, I kept thinking, this is good, but where's the cheese? I didn't bring up the issue with the server, because we just couldn't wait around as we had a hockey game to get to, but if you compare my sandwich pic to those posted by other people, the absence of the fondue aspect is pretty clear. To their credit, it was still a good sandwich, but it could've been amazing. At least the awesome curds had already given me a good dose of cheese for the day.

Great place, great burgers. Everything's is made from scratch. Beats any of the chain restaurants in Hoodbury or Cottage Grove.

Do you suffer from excessive yawning when someone mentions going out to an American Legion? Have you ever feared about what kind of locals you may encounter when visiting said establishment? Do you worry about the potential gut rot associated with buffet dining?FEAR NO MORE. Growing up, I've had my fair share of receptions in dimly lit banquet halls. Yet, word spreads like the plague when restoration is in order. When people who doesn't always wear a capes break a social stigma (regarding legions and VFWs having only popcorn and the occasional fish fry), a community begins to flourish with excitement. I'm not sure what kind of wizards are back there in the kitchen, but they should never let go of their burger secrets. Like, padlocked in a vault and buried in the woods type of energy. Every ingredient makes complete sense for each sandwich. They have a wide variety of options while still not being overwhelming. Their sandwiches are big enough to fill you up without making you feel like a concrete mixer. It's thoroughly planned and precise. They offer rotating burgers of the week, which makes me salivate from anticipation prior to arriving. Attached is a photo of the Fondue You Love Me. It is essentially a chicken parmigiana inspired sandwich with a velvety mozzarella fondue. Parmesan-crusted bread keeps me from having to use too many napkins. Ask for a side of the fondue to dip your potato of choice into!! This place feels like home. Good food can really change your mindset. Memories of food are snippets of my life that I truly cherish and every thing I've had so far in about 15 visits all have jolted my tastebuds with joy. I will vow from this day forward to not judge a book based off of its initial cover regarding restaurants. Please, go support your local American Legion and VFW. You may find something magical made by mad scientists that will bring you to your knees from happiness. If you see me on the street grinning for no reason today, it's because I'm digesting the good stuff. 10/10 would smash again.

Yep still 5 stars. My favorites include jalepeno bizness for cheezy style, MN poutine, chicken sando, Cajun wings, caramel shake. Everything is good

We stopped in today and had a cheeseburger and the Fo' Cheezy. My husband didn't care for the herb mayo on the cheeseburger but the Fo' Cheezy was great. The parmesan crusted bread and the pepper jack cheese whiz make it special.They only serve their burgers pink, no pink or well. But ours were medium rare and perfect. Just ask for them mooing and hope they are nice.Service was great too.

Decided to give this place a try after hearing so much about it from a coworker! It did not disappoint!This is located in a small town with parking out front. There were not any clear signs that I saw for the "328 Grill" but it's located inside the VFW. This place has that "hole in the wall" "small town" "SUPER FRIENDLY" Minnesota feel! Absolutely loved it! You also got the feel that the food was going to be fantastic... and it was!! Everyone I encountered was extremely nice! The food: We tried the Mn Poutine which uses wild rice soup! It was salty but ohhhh so good!! The cheese curds were greasy in the best way! The had great ranch and it was very tasty!! All 3 of us got the Fo'cheezy and that was full of cheesy goodness! I had the tots and they were cooked perfectly! Everything that we tried was on the saltier side but that's also what made it so tasty!! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! I'd love to come back and try some of the other options on the menu!!

Been two weeks in a row... looking forward to next weeks Burger of the Week. Great food with huge flavors. Service is friendly and super fast!

Great food as always. Great service. This placebo a gem. I had the jalapeño bizness burger. It was done just right with the just a little heat and a good flavor.
