I had a really great time at the Rusty Nail. I stopped in on my way home after a long day out and about, hoping to have a quiet drink. I got exactly what I wished for. They had a great selection of local brews, and the bartender was able to recommend a fantastic microbrew for me, which I really enjoyed. They also mix a fantastic lemon-drop martini, although the promised sugared rim was lacking. Maybe next time!
Had an amazingly delicious dinner! Had a party of 9 and then snuck us in in the Knick of time. Everything was so yummy! We will be back! Service was amazing and they were all sooooo kind!
Came out had an amazing dinner the pulled pork and ham sandwich was an Interesting taste. And absolutely delicious. The boneless and regular wings was excellent as well. If you get a chance check out the deep fried pickles. Plus the staff was absolutely amazing. I will be returning soon.
I've heard this place has been rated the best burgers in Minnesota. I may have to disagree with that, there are thousands of burgers places. The burger is good, ok-really good, but there's an item on the menu that's awesome.
In the appetizer section, they have "sunnies". It's actually a nice meal. You get 4-5 fillets of nice sized sunfish and a choice of fires of fresh cut chips.
I've had them 3 times so far, and each time the breading was a bit different. The first time they were coated with a light breading. Panko, maybe? And fried to perfection. The other two time it seemed like it was a bit thicker beer batter. I prefer the lighter coating, but both are excellent.
The onion rings make a great choice, also.
The atmosphere is small town bar/pub, and the walls and ceilings are covered with cool memorabilia. A very nice choice of craft beer is available and the tap holder is pretty cool.
That was a GREAT burger!
I've got to say that was easily top 5 burgers I've ever had, and easily the best restaurant I've ate at in Otter tail county area. Burgers are a 1/3lb, which I'm a bigger guy so I made it a double cheese burger (so glad I did), and I upgraded to the onion rings. The onion rings were PERFECT. So good! Burger was juicy, right amount of cheese and grease. They didn't ask how I wanted it cooked, and they cooked it perfect.
It was really busy when we were there, and it took a bit to get our food, but I've got to say it was worth it. Our server apologized for the wait, but it's not your fault that a party of 17 walked in right in front of us. So I'll say the server was good.
Overall I wasn't expecting a restaurant like this in that area. Everything was delicious, and I can't wait to come back and try the sunfish l!
Luke made the Very Best Old fashion (Classic cocktail) I've had in 30 years. Great job Luke. The smothered fries were super delicious as well. I will be looking forward to visiting Gain soon!
Stopped for food and drinks. Later in the day and noticed a one man band setting up in the corner. Wow, were we in for a treat this one man band was unreal singer! Shaun from Fargo! He's a regular and highly recommended hearing him sing, great bonus to the amazing food!

We had a last minute family outing for my mother in laws birthday celebration.
The place was packed, however, we were greeted & seated quickly.
We also had an unexpected treat of live music that evening.
Our waiter Taylor was amazing! He had our whole table laughing the night away and he completely took care of us!
Thank you for making this evening super fun & special. WE WILL BE BACK!!
