9. Mc Coy's Pub
Reviewed By Dena S
This pub is a fun place to stop when you have some time to relax. Great patio for the summer if you can catch it before it's filled with smokers.The owners and staff are locals so it's great to support but the service is quite frequently painfully slow and they often run with very few staff working the floor and fewer in the kitchen.The burgers here are tasty and there's a good variety of pub type eats. This business also gives back quite a bit to the community which, in my mind, makes up for its short-comings. Give them a try.
8. Broadway Pizza
Reviewed By cleanplateboy
We stopped at the Elk River Broadway Pizza after a Pickleball Tournament for beer, wings, and pizza. The place was packed, however we were quickly served drinks at the bar, without ever feeling rushed, and later moved to a table for our meal. The beer was cold and enjoyed by all. Our wings were typical bar food, nothing special. We ordered three Classic Deluxe Pizzaâs with cheese, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, green pepper & onion. The thin crust pizza was well proportioned with abundant ingredients, and baked to just the right point. Our servers checked on us a couple of different times to see how we were doing with our meal, which was highly appreciated by our group.

This is where the locals go. There is also outside dining- a couple of tables that overlook the Mississippi, and the Thursday evening free music in the amphitheater next door. There is ample parking within a block. Eat what the locals are eating, and you will be as happy as they are.

Good salad bar and soup. Great pizza options--my favorite" Buffalo Chicken!!! Order your special pizza and they will bring to you and put rest on pizza bar. But the best thing here arguably is the chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy! Pop included with meal.

Family owned and operated neighborhood restaurant serving fresh food using locally sourced quality ingredients. Full menu, full bar, great wine selection and live music.
Reviewed By CuriousTraveler5050
This was our first visit to Pour. Itâs a classy looking place. It was early dinner on Sunday, so pretty quiet. The menu is put together with very appealing dishes. Some of it labeled âmade from scratchâ. Well, not really. They struggled meeting the needs of a food allergy. Not knowing what exactly was in some of the pre-prepared ingredients. The waitress wasnât that intuned to the allergy either - meaning she didnât seek to understand what could and couldnât be served. Also seemed to be in a rush, even tho only 2 tables had guests. That being said, the lobster pasta was very good. Generous portion of lobster and spinach fettuccine were great, the Asiago sauce was average. The French soup was good. The salmon board was also good after removing all of the portions with the allergens. The wine menu is large for a small town restaurant and a nice selection to choose from. I chalk up the service to a bad day. I would like to go back and try it again. It is expensive for the area , so be prepared for that.
