We enjoyed a lovely pre-hockey game beer and bite recently at Pub 500. They were extremely busy but our server was still attentive and we got our drinks and food in a normal timeframe. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and a menu with some unique choices which I always appreciate. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich and it was good. The cheese curds were also tasty!

Pub 500 has once again put together a delicious and efficient breakfast buffet for my riders on Mnbeerbus's Oktoberfest buses. We have been using them for 15+years and have never had an issue. The drinks are awesome too.

The food is awesome. My fish n chips was outstanding, the fish fried to perfection and the fries were the best I have had in years. The Cole slaw was excellent. The service by Pauline was amazing, she is awesome. The dessert , bread pudding is to die for. What a great culinary experience. Very nice ambiance. Highly recommend Pub 500.

I recently went to Pub500 for a happy hour (07/05) and we ordered a fish taco (more like a fish burrito) and the Norwegian salad. Both delicious! So we booked brunch for the day after our wedding for 20+ guests to take place the following Sunday (07/14). Both times the food was delicious, the service was amazing and friendly, we'll definitely be back!

I just wanted to take the time to thank the employees Adam and Laura (I'm sorry if I misspelled any names) that helped me today. I was in a very scary situation and the staff went above and beyond with making sure I got home safely. It was busy as well for them but the kindness they showed towards me I will never forget. I am so grateful and thankful for people like them. I will for sure come back not only for the great food but for the homey atmosphere and wonderful employees!

We love this place! Known for their Sloppy Joe, it's always a safe staple to order. Their homemade chips are absolutely amazing. The beer-battered fish and chips was fantastic, alongside a perfectly poured Black-&-Tan, it's well worth ordering. The mushroom & Swiss was excellent as well. Great local place to hang out, it offers a relaxing atmosphere and the service is top notch. One of our favorites in Mankato.

Service was phenomenal! Came in for brunch around 10:15 on a Sunday and our waitress was wonderful. We had the Bloody Mary burger, Good Gravy, and two of the specialty Bloody Mary's! It was pretty quiet around this time so no reservation needed. Would definitely visit this place again next time we are in town.

Heads up... park in the back or in the ramp, it's nearly impossible to get parking in front of the restaurant. We ordered stoner chips as an appetizer, pulled pork and cheese over homemade potato chips with some ranch ish sauce drizzled over it. Very good. I ordered turbo meatballs off of the appetizer menu, comes with 4 meatballs and potato wedges with buffalo sauce and Italian sauce.. it could have used more meatballs otherwise it would be hard to split with more than 2 people. My wife ordered buffalo wings. The food tasted great, only lost 1 star due to the lack of meatballs in the turbo meatballs making it a little high priced and challenging to share with a group and ended up being about a $50 bill essentially for 3 appetizers. Service was great as well, efficient, friendly, and we didn't have to wait long for anything.
