MCs Taphouse - Lino Lakes

Always looking for new places to try- landed on this place for breakfast/brunch.Our server was fantastic and very attentive. She was probably the best part of our visit. Refilled our drinks regularly, checked on us and was patient while we decided what to order. Atmosphere is nice! Nice open area and they have a rooftop in the summer. May have to give it a try when it warms up.I ordered the # 7 with sausage links- three times it was brought out with bacon. The eggs were very undercooked, white part looked like when you crack it open and that gel is moving around. Sausage links finally came out and they were burnt- toast was dry and my cheesy hashbrowns were also missing. Hashbrowns came out after and were loaded with onions. Probably one of the worst breakfasts I have ever had which was a bummer since breakfast is one of my favorites..... I was eyeing the steak salad and maybe should have gone with that. They have a decent menu and the place is nice, my food was just terrible. Maybe will swing by for another try. Not quite a fan yet.

MC's Taphouse in Lino Lakes is more than just great food--it's the whole experience! The staff was super friendly and welcoming, making us feel like a regular from the moment we walked in. They really know how to add to the fun atmosphere, with lively conversation and quick service that keeps the good vibes going.Whether you're there for the blackberry BBQ wings or that wild PB&J chicken sandwich with its Thai peanut sauce and hot jelly twist, the staff makes sure your meal is memorable. Add in the laid-back, fun environment, and you've got the perfect spot for a night out!

Service was very good, however the last could times we visited the food was not good at all. In fact we received a 10$ gift card cause it was that bad. We will not be back.

Loved the outdoor rooftop patio dining! Nice tap beers (had the Pistachio Cream Ale). Food was ok. I liked seeing to dogs up on the patio! Disappointed in the server, Lindsay L-when she asked how we found our meals. My dining companion merely stated that his 3-alarm burger was smothered in the sauces. Not really complaining but she had an attitude immediately and said that's what the menu said. Yeah, we know Lindsay but you asked. Still don't know why we tipped 17 percent on surley service.

Our first time at our new neighborhood restaurant. We enjoyed the food. We started with some awesome mussels. I had the flamin blueberry burger with spicy dilly fries. It was tasty. My partner had the Cajun dry rub wings which were also very good. The tap selection is good, also. This is shaping up to be a good place for a frequent visit in our neighborhood.

So my other half and I were looking for a new place to go eat because we're both foodies and variety is the spice of life. So we looked for a place somewhat far from home so we could enjoy a nice evening ride to and from the place we choose. So we looked at the menu, and some of the ratings and decided to give this place a try. The fact that it has a rooftop made us want to really see if this could become a favorite of ours. So we walked in, it wasn't busy down stairs but it was pretty busy on the rooftop. So a young lady greeted us and asked us where we would like to sit and took us to our table. Our server who didn't give us her name asked us what we wanted for drinks so we gave her our drink order and also ordered the chicken lettuce wraps for an appetizer. The chicken lettuce wraps weren't anything special, I also didn't care for the water chestnuts in it. Our food arrived to our table I ordered the pan fried Walleye, with garlic butter broccoli and tater tots. My server asked about the broccoli and they said it was already part of my order and to see if I wanted another side. So I chose tater tots and when it came out there was no broccoli. They were going to make it since the cooks forgot to include it, however I told them after almost being finished eating my walleye not to make it because I didn't want to eat the broccoli alone. Also the walleye tasted like it was cooked in old oil, I didn't like it much at all. Had it not been for the basil pesto aioli I wouldn't have been able to stomach the walleye. A manager came to ask how everything was and I told her how I felt about the walleye and that it had a taste of being cooked in old grease and she said that's not good I'm going to go back and look into this. Well the manager never returned nor did they offer us a discount or let us know their findings. Lastly my girl order the 3 alarm burger and didn't care much for it, she said it had a taste of being cooked too long. Now the decor was nice, the bathroom was clean, and I loved the way the bar was set up with the televisions all around the bar. I loved the place and the server but the fact that management didn't try to rectify the situation so for that I will not be returning.

I stumbled across this gem after searching Yelp for something different in the northern suburbs. Apparently they've had their doors open for a year and they now have it down to a science!I sat at the bar solo and was greeted by the bartender with a smile She quickly put together a mango marg that was delicious, not to sweet, not too tart, just right!Holding back, not ordering the deep fried Fried Minnesota Sushi like I really wanted to, I opted for the Blackened Mahi Mahi Salad. It came out well presented and smelling like heaven. The first few bites were shocking as the flavors all came together with each bite.I cannot wait to go back and try something different, there menu is full of options that are not seen on the typical "bar menu".10/10 would recommend.

The duck wontons are served screaming hot (temp, not spicy) and have never disappointed

Sis and I needed to get out of the house and decided to take a drive. And it took us out to lunch at MC's Taphouse. I have never heard of it but looks like it's related to The Muddy Cow. We love the burger selection at Muddy Cow! We're not beer people so I can't comment on their selection. We walked in just after noon on Monday and the place was dead, just a couple of patrons at the bar and at high-tops. There were sports playing on the TV screens but no sound. No music playing. It was uncomfortably quiet. The bartender got us seated at a high-top on the bar side (booths and low tables in the dining area but not seating there at this time of day) right next to a giant garage door window. This would be awesome to be seated here on a nice summer night with a cross breeze. There was another garage door window on the adjacent wall.Monday is half price burgers with purchase of a drink. Burger selection isn't as vast as Muddy Cow, but it did have the same popular ones (Rodeo, Portobello and swiss). There are plenty of other options besides burgers. I saw the next tables order come out and it was a Mac N Cheese with brisket sandwich!Sis ordered the Drunken Portobello burger with Dilly Fries. Mushrooms burger had a whiskey glaze and I got to try a dilly fry. If you LOVE dill pickles, you'll these fries! The shape is new to me. Not a stick. More like a circle that is curling on itself like a scoop.I tried the Barbacoa Bessie burger with regular fries. Oh man, THIS burger! This is what I want when I want a Fiesta burger. The only thing missing was pico de gallo but it didn'tneed it. So much flavor in the pulled beef. And the Baja sauce gave it the kick to elevate it beyond a regular burger. My mouth was left with a little lingering heat and lips were just slightly tingly. My regular fries were hot, crispy with a soft center and lightly salted. The place remained slow during our stay, but image it gets busier in the evenings and weekends. Loved the intended vibe/ style/decor. Made a stop in the ladies room to wash our hands and liked the trough sink.Must remember to come back again!!

The onion rings are divine! The house music was cool and the whole place has a neat vibe. It was very clean and family friendly. The food options - although of the pub variety - were instilled with a sense of culinary sophistication. I'd give it 5 stars, but I was served an N/A beer as the can without a glass. The American Legion offers a glass at 25% of the price!
