“ Food is excellent. Waitstaff is very accommodating, helpful with suggestions & willing to ask the cook about special diet concerns. ”

“ This review covers two visits. The first one is for lunch on Saturday and then we returned on Sunday for breakfast. On Saturday we had Fish and Chips. The fish was cod which was very good. The fries were also very good but my wife wanted a side salad and I ordered one too. The salad was perfect but that really left us with more food than we could possibly eat. While there I noticed they had Biscuits and Gravy on the menu. I'm a big fan of biscuits so we decided to return on Sunday to give them a try. The nearest place that has predictably good Biscuits and Gravy is also in Zimmerman and that place is Hardee's. My wife is from South Dakota and she liked the Biscuits and Gravy here. I was raised by a mother from Georgia. She knew how to make Biscuits and Gravy the way they should be made. The biscuits were ok. They were fresh and not days old as is typical of MN biscuits. The gravy, however, was pretty bland. The wasn't any sausage flavor because they were really stingy with the sausage. The green seasoning or garnish they sprinkled on top just shouldn't have been there. The biggest failure was the hash browns. The problem with them was a taste that shouldn't have been there. This either came from using old grease or from cooking too many different types of things at the same time and not making any effort to keep the grease from one from contaminating the other. I won't ever order hash browns here again. The Cinnamon Roll may have been good if it hadn't been drowned in some kind of sauce. It certainly wasn't worth $7. This was a special not on the menu. Hardee's wins wins the Biscuits and Gravy competition and Perkins is the place to get cinnamon rolls. If you want fried potatoes get the fries. They're pretty good! ”

“ Went there for bowling and it was closed because of an employee issue. My son was quite disappointed. Hope opened up bowling for us so we could get a couple games in. She was friendly and attentive and overall it made for a great time. ”

“ I just had a fantastic fish fry at Zimmerman bowl cafe. The food is always great but their fish fry is got to be the best i've had! I was out with family for my birthday! ”

“ Great little local, small town bowling alley/restaurant and bar. Big, open space. Kind of dark even with lots of windows. Locals stick to themselves and are loved by the staff but the staff still takes care of the outsiders really well! I stopped in for breakfast passing through. Was what to be expected. Fair prices, everything was cooked exactly how I would want it. The bacon was the highlight. Perfectly prepared, still soft and a little chewy but a nice exterior crunch. Just really, really good. I also ordered a Bloody Mary. Tastes made with a pre made mix, which again is to be expected. Came garnish with an olive and pickle. My breakfast and two Bloodys came to $24.75 which is more than reasonable in my eyes. I wouldn't make a special trip for this place but would gladly stop again passing through or recommend it to someone passing through. ”

“ Sis and I were on the road and passed through Zimmerman at lunch time. Familiar with the area but not the local food joints, wanted something different than fastfood. Google brought up this joint and we were so glad we stopped in. It was quiet for a Friday, didn't see a lunch rush during our visit. The place was clean and has open sight lines from the dining area into the bar. Love the deep red wall paint, chrome details and mirror wall in the bar. I saw shelves decorated for 4th of July too....red, white, blue knick knacks. Our main interaction was with our waitress as it was "seat yourself". She was friendly and timely. She always showed up at the right time. From hello, to drinks, to ordering and delivering of the bill. Food came out quickly but by another kitchen staffer. Sis ordered the grilled Buffalo Chicken Wrap.... one of her favorite sandwiches. She said it was spicy. It looked good as it had a decent amount of sauce. This one was not dry, stingy. Side was hot, crispy French fries. I ordered the Friday lunch special...Club Wrap, with **Tator Tots**, and a bowl of soup for an extra $2.50. Soup special of the day was Chicken Wild Rice.... one of my favorites, even on a hot 90 degree day! The Club Wrap was good. It's listed on their regular menu as a sandwich but much prefer it in wrap form. Yeah! I asked for French fries but the waitress must have misheard me as she wore down Tator tots on the order ticket. We talked a lot about the menu during ordering so maybe I wasn't clear in my final decision. But it's still a deep fried potato, just a circle instead of a stick. I'll try 'em. Boy was that a nice surprise. Tator tots were nice and golden, extra crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, slightly seasoned. And the Chicken Wild Rice soup was yummy! One of the best ones I've ever had. Creamy, rice was cooked to perfection (slightly chewy, not gummy), nice chucks of chicken and the flavor hit the spot. Portions were too big to finish and we were given real plastic (reusable!!) food to-go containers, not styrofoam. And the soup container was cardboard, with a microwaveable, vented inner lid. We will most definitely be back, whenever we travel through Zimmerman at lunch/ dinner time again! ”

“ We enjoyed a family outing last night and were impressed with the service, the food, and the staff. Nine of us gathered for dinner and everyone seemed to enjoy the offerings. We had everything from nachos to omelets and not a complaint was heard. After dinner, six of us bowled. We will not be forming a pro team any time soon but we had good laughs and fun. My only negative comment would be about how neglected the ladies restroom was. It was dirty, smelled less than pleasant, and simply didn't match how clean the rest of the facility was. ”
