Magillycuddys - Anoka

We were so excited to eat some bar food and this place was just amazing. The fries with guinness cheese and bacon

We found this restaurant while searching local restaurants to try and it did not disappoint. This is a small little bar/restaurant in Anoka. The decor is fun and you know it’s going to be fun place when they have the lamp from A Christmas Story behind the bar. We were greeted immediately after choosing a table. We started out with Reuben rolls. These were fried to perfection with a great Reuben flavor with 1000 island dipping sauce. Great crunch and great flavor. We also tried Irish nachos. These are house made chips topped with cheese sauce, corn beef, bacon and diced tomatoes. These house made chips were amazing, fried to perfection so that the sauce didn’t make them soggy. That cheese sauce has so much flavor! We shared the Guinness Cheese Burger. This is an open faced burger on a sourdough bread topped with perfectly cooked fries topped with the most amazing Macgillycuddy cheese sauce. That cheese sauce is the show stopper. And of course we tried the fish and chips. Nice portion of fish with an amazing coating and crunch. Tartar sauce was good, just a normal tartar sauce. The fries that come with the meal are delicious with a good crunch. Not a plain fry. Overall great experience and an added must go back restaurant on our list.

A nice little bar with good food. Unfortunately seems understaffed because there's usually one person running around trying to help everyone but otherwise I've had no issues with them. Keep up the good work!

Flawless dinner. Everything we ordered was superbly prepared. Desserts and appetizers were excellent as well. Not inexpensive, but a terrific place for a celebratory meal.

Nice bartender reminded me how to drink the gillygernade. Was good to go back after the height of the pandemic. She was cool and understanding. Thanks for reminding so I could show my grandma.
