Mill City Tavern — Restaurant in Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory

Like any airport in the US, the prices for food and drinks here can be quite steep, which can be a bit of a shock for travelers. Despite that, we decided to treat ourselves to breakfast at this particular spot, and I'm glad we did. The breakfast menu had a delightful variety, catering to everything from classic eggs and bacon to more adventurous options like avocado toast and gourmet breakfast burritos.

The service was impressively efficient. Our food arrived promptly, which is always a plus when you're juggling the stresses of travel. Our bartender, in particular, stood out for their genuine friendliness and attentiveness. They not only took our orders with a warm smile but also made sure to check on us regularly, ensuring that our drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. It felt good to be treated as more than just another customer; the personalized attention made our experience feel special even amidst the hustle and bustle of the airport.

We’ve been to this location several times now, and we consistently have great experiences. It's reassuring to know that we can rely on their excellent service and quality every time we stop by. The ambiance is another highlight; it’s remarkably laid back for an airport setting. The soft lighting and comfortable seating create a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to relax, unwind, and indulge in good conversations. We’ve found ourselves chatting with fellow travelers, sharing stories, and exchanging travel tips, which added an unexpected layer of enjoyment...

Surprisingly great food! Seating is crowded and kind of awkward. Seats are bolted in place and don't swivel even at the high top we used(with another two groups of people because you have to). Ordering food is a bit of a pain. You scan a QR code and then order online. Code is specific to each seat so they know where to bring it. It's fine and it works... But it's awkward and I don't know how disabled people or older people with limited phone experience would like it or be able to use it. They don't come out and offer water or explain how to order, you just figure it out from the QR code with a little note. Once we order I would really appreciate water be brought out. They have a pretty big bar with lots of options. Food was truly delicious which we were not expecting at the airport. They were pretty quick too. So overall good, but not for everyone. You can order to go as well if you want. Kids meal chicken strips...

A farce of a restaurant/cafe/casino/rip-off. Uncomfortable and hostile. No menus. No connection. No idea of prices. Your check is "sent" to you. Food is ordered on line. I resist use a cell phone. You expect airport restaurants to overcharge but "two ruben sandwiches, a beer, a vodka and lime $92 NOT including the gratuity. Caveat EMPTOR. As for the sandwich. Dead lettuce, slice of bread, two week old slice of mushy tomato, a gummy dried red sauce, bacon fried to point of grittiness, French fries...palatable ..just.. asked for mayonnaise.... never came. Seat uncomfortable. Any view of the bar or barman blocked by row of beer outlet. In my 80 years of flying the globe this is the worst rip-off airport lounge in my experience. The waitress, bless her soul, tried mitigation, jolliness, affability which made the experience contrast worse. Waiters spent most time complaining about the stupidity of the two...
