A crispy, not soggy, Reuben coming at you. It's the special on Tuesday nights. That's why we can and we didn't leave disappointed.

Classic German style bar! We ordered the sample platter of all the classic German food. Delicious! The spatzel was my favorite. The funnel cake fries were amazingly good. Would be a fun place to catch a game.

This place is so Minnesota inside. The night I was there they were doing a giveaway which was fun. They had like a bird bath and some blankets and other housewares stuff in a big pile which you could enter the raffle to win. Unfortunately it seemed like only one person was working the rather large dining room for service. This lady was running around handling everybody except those at the bar. This means the service was a little slow. As for the food, it was pretty typical bar fare with a German twist. We had a platter with all the German foods, and they were just ok. My favorite was actually the red cabbage. Others at my table thought their food was alright but nothing special. It's a cool experience to have at least once but it's not going on my short list.

LW's Bierstube is in Inver Grove Heights. German beers (and other American beers on tap as well) and great burgers, great service. $9 burgers on Mondays here. Well, since you invited me to have a burger...I will try the Rueben Burger. It was better than I had anticipated! The mushroom/swiss burger was awesome as well.

Sad face emoji. For the past several years eight to ten friends would go to the Friday Fish Fry. Last night was our last and here's why. Our server was overwhelmed with little help even though we arrived at 4:00 PM. Drink orders took far too long to fill and refills might have occurred faster if we did them ourselves, oh wait, we did and they were!The food is where the stuff hits the fan. Ordering was a challenge (server overload) and once the orders went in they took far too long (over 30 minutes).The featured fish was HORRIBLE, literally inedible. Fortunately a few of our party passed on fish and ordered sandwiches. The fish was fried literally to a crisp, dry with a taste like it sat too long before dredging. The batter is not the same as in last years. Far too much flour, a paste that created an impenetrable dark brown shell so thick & hard the crunch was audible. Cold fries and a bowl of room temperature chopped cabbage that you dressed with room temperature squeeze bottle dressing ... yucky face emoji.The "all you can eat" ($14) fish second serving was so late we simply said no thank you and asked for checks.While toe tapping for 20+ minutes while the checks were rung up, the person busing tables managed to dump the items he collected (no tray, just hands) all over our table make a mess of epic proportions, the inedible fish, room temperature slaw and utensils.Cross this one off your Fish Fry list, or grab a box of Gorton's Fish Sticks & Ore Ida Fries and stay home. Besides you'll save $3.50 for rail rum & coke in 8 ounce glass with less than 3 ounces of liquid.Even for low expectations in a neighborhood bar last nights Fish Fry was so bad on so many levels we all agreed it was our last visit.

So, here it goes - I felt bad for the waitress because she was the only one waiting tables when my friends and I went to dinner Thursday night. Apparently it was the place to be and service was slow as a result. That could have been forgivable, but 2/3 orders also came out wrong - one friend ordered a Reuben with white instead of pumpernickel bread, the other ordered a black and bleue burger. What came out was a Reuben with pumpernickel and an American burger.I ordered the 12 shrimp basket with a baked potato. The consensus at the table was that when you have to admit that Applebees food has more flavor and better service, tis is a sad day.

Yuck! For God's sake change the grease in your fryer!! I was there 10 years ago and had the fish and the fish tasted overly fishy. I said something to the waitress about it and she was a smart ass and said it tasted fishy because it was fish, so I ordered chicken strips which tasted like fish. Flash forward the food still sucks. Bartender ordered KFC for himself...which should have been a red flag! He does make a great martini and the olives were rocking!

I'm a fan of authentic German food -- and they've got some of it here. The Spaetzle with gravy is tasty and I'd love to have that gravy on the side with every order of fries. On Tuesday nights, they have a Reuben special that is worth the visit. Their Rueben is served on crunchy bread with cooked kraut and it's not the soggy mess that you get at many other restaurants. If you're lucky, you'll also have the opportunity to participate in a Tuesday night meat raffle.The fish fry here is also good. My BIGGEST criticism of this location is the lack of German beers in their selection. With a name like 'Bierstude' I expect to find German beers on tap. I'm not keen having to drink Hamms.

IGH Bierstube is loud and dirty. The booths have bad seats that are taped and worn out. THe tables are as sticky as can be from being old and worn out. Won't go back there. THe food was not worth telling mom about.

I'm new to the area and was hoping this could become my go-to spot, but every time I've been there some super loud obnoxious guy is there swearing, shouting, and being irritating. Also they desperately need to clean the grease trap in their fryer, the place stinks to high heaven. So after three tries I won't be back.

I've been here twice so far during my lunch break. I have to say the service has been amazing. They were all very attentive, and full of personality. The food was delicious. I've had the Bacon Bleu Burger, and it was amazing. And the wings today. Top-notch! I appreciate the service I get there.
