Attended the 2025 Minnesota State fair on opening day. Was looking forward to trying their ‘new food’ “ Timber twists.” Wow! Was I disappointed! The sausage in the center was flavorless. The manicotti shell was OK. The bacon on the outside was nearly raw, And the way they slathered on the sauce, really did not contribute much and definitely took away from their finger food concept. Every year I always get the walleye fingers as well. Last year they were overcooked, and the fish inside was dry. I ordered them again this year and probably shouldn’t have accepted them because they were so brown.

The line moves fairly quick. The food is similar to American or bar food. There is also a wonderful pavilion behind the building that has lots of seating but also gives shade from the sun or protection from the rain. In the pavilion there is almost always great music or entertainment.
