PY’s Bar and Grill

Just stopped in to have a bite on our way to a festival at Trollhaugen. At first we were confused on where to sit so we had to ask the cook (the kitchen is at the end of the bar). Once seated, we ordered some beers and it took a little bit longer to get someone to return so we could order our food. The menu is burgers and apps (mostly fried) but there were some cool items like tempura battered banana pepper rings, hand cut ripple potato chips (fried right in front of you) and all their fries are also hand cut to order.
The prices were excellently inexpensive! We received our burgers and they were amazing! I did the works ¹⁄₃ lb cheeseburger, the meat was so super fresh and juicy and cooked/​seasoned PERFECTLY! The potato bun was VERY fresh! And only 6 $ for the burger! The tap beer selection was very impressive for this small town bar and grill. I was surprised to walk outside to a beautiful patio overlooking the falls on the river with couches and all. We will definitely return! Our meal was under 30 $ and freaking fantastic! (they could stand to use a little help on organizing the service though!)

If you want some fried appetizers and a beer, you really can’t do better than this place. We’re from the Twin Cities and had to admit that Wisconsin has the superior experts on frying things (I often don’t even like fried snacks, but these were fantastic). The fried banana peppers were also stellar, and you can’t argue with a tall pour of New Glarus.

Great stop, searched the Minnesota side of the river for a good stop for lunch and found nothing, stopped in at a «biker bar» and had a fantastic time. Excellent hand cut fries, tasty burgers and great service. Nice patio that overlooks the falls. I’ll be back

If you’re looking for beer, burgers, and fried food, this is a great place to find all three at a nice affordable price. I had the «garbage can» appetizer — basically everything they could think to throw in the deep fryer, and my wife had the bacon cheeseburger. The burger and bacon both had very nice flavor. The beer selection is pretty broad for a small town bar, and there’s pretty decent outdoor seating in the back. For the prices and the quality of the burger, I’d definitely come back.

For a bar where the food is cooked right in front of you, it’s excellent! They cut your fries and make them to order, burgers and sandwiches are very good – give you choices on how/​what you want on your burger. Good service too! Will be back.

Should you find yourself in Osceola in need of food options, this is a great choice. Yes it’s a bar with greasy food, but everything is cheap and DELICIOUS. The fried cheese curds were spot on, as were the hot chips, burger, and humongous fish sandwich. If I had a second stomach, I would have tried to fit it all in.

Living in Scandia the choices of eateries is underwhelming to say the least. Wanting a good burger, and wanting to try something new, we searched Unilocal and ended up at Py’s. It was about eight o’clock on a Friday night and the place was pretty busy. We seated ourselves as there didn’t appear to be any direction as to self seat or wait. After waiting about ten minutes, I walked to the bar to inquire about service. Five minutes later we had menus. The choices looked promising and very reasonably priced. They have New Glarus Spotted Cow on tap, which is always welcomed. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger (I wanted a fried egg on it but they apparently don’t have eggs) and my wife ordered a mushroom swiss burger. Both burgers were way over cooked and dry. Mine was actually crunchy it was so burnt. The French fries were fantastic. Fresh cut and actually fried to crisp. Best part of the meal.
The second best part is the price. One beer, one glass of wine, and two burgers was just a hair under twenty dollars. Excellent value.
I think we’ll chalk it up to being to late on a busy night. A waitress that was slow and dressed to impress rather than serve (i.e. — four inch heals — must be a noob), and a cook who must have taken a break while the burgers were cooking.
We probably will give them another shot but certainly won’t be rushing back. This area needs some better options.

They now take a credit card so it’s perfect.

PY’s is a typical bar but it has a great feel to it. I’ve eaten here several times over the past few years. They are located right next to the falls in Osceola so after you trek up and down the 156 steps to the falls, PY’s is a great place to refuel. They have a wide variety of beers but I really love the fried cheese curds. But we had the fried dill pickles this past visit and they were pretty dang good.

After stepping out of an antique store a couple of doors down, I was lifted like in the cartoons and carried to this place by the smell of all the delectables that were getting blown my way via the grease vent.
Everyone at this place seemed to know each other. The special of the day was a mushroom swiss burger for $ 4.50 with fries being an additional $ 2.00. I opted for a bacon cheddar burger and it was amazing.
After I place the my order, the next thing I see happening is the cook taking a potatoe, putting it through a manual industrial fry maker and then dumping the results into grease. The fries were not rushed and came out Mc Donald’s size excellent. My burger, medium rare was outstanding.
The beer selection was also excellent as I had New Glarus Spotted Cow on tap, Flopping Crappie and a porter from Ashland, WI which I forget the name of. All were tasty. They even offer a sampler which is pretty cool because at least 5 of the beers I haven’t seen on the good side of the border.
The bummer? Credit cards not accepted.
The good thing? They have a cash machine.
The bummer? You get hit up with a $ 3.00 service charge.
The good thing? You get a coupon for a free pint or $ 2.00 off your meal.
Plus they are next door to the Cascade Falls which you can walk down to and follow the trail to the St. Croix River.
Definitely a very cool day trip and for those that live in the area, consider yourself blessed.
