A-frame And Grill - Bottineau

Cute patio friendly servers. The wait wasn't terrible the place was slammed. We sat outside for about 15min until they called us in to be seated. We ordered drinks and poutine. They came out quickly. The margarita slushy was on special was basically like drinking a frozen pouch sold for $1.50 in every liquor store... not a great value or drink. The beer on tap was a Minnesota brew, no complaints there. The poutine was frozen curds over frozen fries with packaged gravy. It could be worse could be certainly be better. I ordered a western burger, which came out well done on a chilled bun with onion rings, which were decent tho I'd venture to say frozen. Hubs ordered a 3pc chicken with fries the leg thigh were good, but the breast was pretty dry. For $65, I dare say we could have done much better elsewhere. Of course, there aren't a lot of other options to choose from close by. The food is your basic bar, inexpensive frozen fare that's deep fried and over priced, but will do in a pinch. I will note that they offered some dinners with some better side options and again, the service was really good. You can only expect so much tho from quick fix products.

Our waitress was awesome from start to finish. But we had a food allergy at our table. We had to send back a chicken wrap because of eggs in the sauce. The kitchen sent it back out but it looked like they just switched wraps, scraping off some sauce keeping the same inside ingredients which still had sauce on it. Instead of making a new one without sauce. The bartender even came out and told us we were wrong. When we could clearly see the sauce.

The building is great! It goes downhill from there, though. The poutine was really good, and the $3 draft beers are a great deal. But the party melt was overcooked and dry. There wasn't a ton of flavor there either. From this one experience, the food prices are much higher than they should be for the quality of the main courses. The staff was friendly though.

Service is slow. Cod is frozen and taste that way. Coworker got a burger and said it was good hence the two stars. There's not much out here to pick from but might want to try others places first.

Great service and great food! Love going up to the lake to eat. They give you a great variety of food selections for a being in a smaller community, compared to a city.
