Reviews for Crooked Pint Ale House in Apple Valley, MN
I went to the Crooked Pint when they were new in town, 2013 or 14. Food was great. Drinks were flowing and the place was always... packed. Fast forward to today, and woof. What a tragedy. Menu was much different. Nothing stood out. Had a chicken pot pie andfish and chips. Pot pie tasted like nothing and was topped with a piece of cardboard pretending to be pastry, and the Parmesangarlic fries were so over seasoned they were difficult to eat. 1/10 will not return. Our server, on the other hand, waswonderful, attentive, and friendly. 10/10. Read more
Food was pretty good. Service was awful. Just moved to the area and wanted to try a new place but went to belly up to the bar... and got ignored. I almost left before ordering because it was like pulling teeth to get a water and menu. Then I had my pull tabmoney out and ready for 10 minutes while she did bets and playbacks with people on either side of me. I saw her look at themoney twice, so it was definitely on purpose. It's great to take care of your regulars, but maybe I could have been a newregular? I heard her say she only works Mondays, so maybe I'll give the place a retry with a different bartender working.

The food was fantastic and portions were very large. My wife got a side of tater tots and I got the parmesan garlic fries. You... can't go wrong with either one. The service was quick and I can't wait to start trying some of the Lucy's. The Reuben wasexcellent. Big pieces of corned beef. My wife had something with pulled pork, ham and bacon. I don't remember the name but itwas spectacular. Read more
Very good food (much better than last time we were there years ago) and excellent service. The nachos were ok, I'd not order... them again. The Margarita Flat Bread I'd go out of my way again to get it. I had the sriracha salmon bowl for dinner which Iloved. I only wish the piece of salmon for $18 was larger than a 2x2 square. My wife had the Bourbon cranberry chicken saladand absolutely loved it. The prime rib sandwiches were also delicious. My son's fish was 'OK'. Not good enough that he'dorder it again. The rest we would all reorder. Unlike the last time we were here, I'd easily go back again... Muchimproved!!! Read more
Do not order the Pot Pie. I repeat, do not order the Pot Pie. It came to me as a soup, with a single layer of crust floating on... top. I waited fifteen minutes for it to cool down, and then tasted the heavy grub. Very bland, and way too much cream sauce. Ifelt a bit gross after eating half of it. Couldn’t finish it. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 1 star is because therestaurant has fantastic service. The staff made my experience much better, with thoughtfulness and kindness. The Pot Pie sucksthough, please don’t serve that anymore. I’m sure there are much better items on the menu that people can enjoy. Read more
Great service to start (drinks were amazing), however our server disappeared and someone else brought our food. I asked for... everything on the burger to be on the side, but they decided to add the sauce anyway. There was vey little cheese in the 'lucy'.Not our favorite. Something was off. Tasted like puke. Cheese curds on the side were cold. Overall, Id go back for drinks andstay clear of thier famous 'lucy' burgers. Read more
Updated 5/5/2021 with new menu and new items. They removed the Sweet Heat Lucy from the permanent menu and it's the May 2022... Lucy of the Month Whenever friends from out of state or out of the country come to visit, there's only one place I take them fora Juicy Lucy, Crooked Pint is always the place to go. Yes Minnepolis is the home of the famed burger and there are other spotslocally that have been around longer, but the quality and variety at Crooked Pint has us coming back again and again. I lovetheir Lucy of the Month - June 2021 was the Breakfast Lucy with Egg, Sausage & one of their Jumbo tots, and for July 2021 theSmokehouse Stacker with pulled pork, habanero Jack, and onions was amazing. For todays meal we each had different sides: my wifehad the strawberry almond salad, my son had the garlic parmesan fries, and I had the pub fries. We all left happy and full ???? Read more
Driven past this place countless times, and finally stopped by for dinner with my wife. Our server was awesome and super nice.... The food and drinks were great as well. I believe they’re known for their burgers?? (which I didn’t get a chance to try).But the chicken pot pie was fantastic—would recommend! Read more
