The Loose Moose Saloon & Conference Center

The food is great! Service is awesome and very very hidden gem! Must try! Everything is great and the service is top notch! They have a nice salad bar and the food is very very good! A must try little hidden gem in mankato!

This is the new venue for the book festival the first Saturday in October, and it's a winner. We were here all day and they let us run up a tab. We started a late breakfast with cheese curds, very satisfying. I was located so we looked down at the bar. I loved it. They have a small, yet plentiful salad bar also with an adjoined taco bar. They have 2 cauldrons of soups and I got the beef one that was delicious. I got the signature beef sandwich, that was a little dry, but tasty. The location is away from everything, but still downtown. I was in the banquet room on a panel which was very enjoyable and everything is in close proximity. There's a convenient hotel next door.

OMG good food! The pulled pork, new on the menu, was melt in your mouth on a bun that was fantastically fresh, light and airy. The 1/2 commercial was a full plate of hot beef! Potatoes tasted like real potatoes, the beef was tender and flavorful, and I wish I had the recipe for their gravy. The cowboy burger had to be smashed down to eat it it was piled so high! Had really good bacon slices and a humongous onion ring. Service was fast and friendly. Stopped for a Friday lunch with two teens who liked their food (amazing!). Will definitely eat here again when traveling through.

Great Venue!The Loose Moose Conference Center should be your choice for your next business gathering. The staff is accomodating, food is top-notch and the banquet room has all the tech you need for presentations and sound. Thanks for raising the bar in Mankato!

Seriously great food. My friends swear by the French dip. Says its the best sandwich in the country. Me, I don't eat meat but LOVE salad bar, and last nite I had the cheese quesadillas, and they were no joke. The best. Always choose the tater tots. The new pretzels also rocked me. Super friendly staff, too.

If the consider happy hour for 2 beers for $6.25 that's a joke. Then a regular beer is $4.95!!! It's mankato not the cities. Mike Maes the manager was a complete dick when I asked about our bill. Totally unprofessional and will go out of my way to avoid going to this place!!!

Great food and the staff are all amazing. It's also a wonderful place to have a large party- very reasonable rates and lots of options for hosting.

Great salad bar, delicious burgers and food. Great 2-4-1 happy hour. Friendly staff and family owned.

I love this place!!!! The great service, food very hot and fresh and fast to your table. Great old fashioned salad bar with 1 sometimes 2 soups. Nice beer and whiskey selections. Fair price. That Gets 5 stars!!!!!

We had wedding ceremony and reception for our son and his fiancé at The Loose Moose last weekend. The service and food was wonderful. We met Moose and Andy on Friday and they went through details with us. They opened early to let us decorate and we were able to store our cake in their refrigerator. After the ceremony things were set up quickly for a fajita buffet dinner. Food was great! Wedding dance was a fun time with a great DJ
