Meister’s Bar & Grill

I went to Meister’s in Scandia with my family for dinner and drinks and had an amazing meal! The German Nachos were to die for, and the steak salad was absolutely delicious. My husband and kids had burgers which were every bit as good as we’d heard! Prices were really reasonable and the service was excellent. We’ll definitely be back again!

I tried it again after several years of honoring my promise to never eat there again. Had a Meisterburger with cheese curds (on the burger!) — which was a new menu item since I had last eaten there. That was good. And it was those good kind of cheese curds — beer battered — not the frozen fake breaded kind most places serve. Thumbs up.
The fries were as bad as I remembered. Cold, skinny, greasy, undercooked. I think they need to turn up the temp on the fryer. Seriously, these fries are undercooked. I’ve heard people rave about these fries and I just don’t get it. I guess skinny, greasy undercooked fries are just not my thing.
Service was adequate. Far better than several years ago when it was on every occasion (not most occasions, every occasion) so bad that I just gave up trying any longer. (How can Meister’s screw up an order for a Meisterburger over and over again? And biting into raw chicken just about ruined me) I had good luck this time. So they have that going for them.
Cost? I was always surprised at how much it cost for a smallish burger and greasy undercooked fries. This is dollar menu food for a lot more than a dollar.
But they have the good cheese curds.

Succulent Meister-​Double Cheeseburger, Fries and my first time eating cheese curds!!!
The service was phenomenal and really enjoyed the laid-​back feel of the bar/​restaurant.
I would definitely go again and can see why so many people love their food!

Lousy service. One in our party of six never got his soup. Another’s order was wrong. I had the Greek salad and it was unedible! The dressing was so heavy it dripped off the lettuce. There were no black olives or feta cheese, as the menu suggested. The chicken was cold. The beers were warm. A very unpleasant experience!

Good drinks. Good juicy burgers. Great place to have fun evenings. Can get rowdy late at night, but good restaurant for families too earlier in the evening. Best of the few options in Scandia.

Went here for dinner Thursday night and had a great experience. I haven’t been here in years, and don’t know why! Our service was great and food was even better.
I had the German Burger with their home cut fries. At first we thought the fries were a skimpy order but turned out to be a perfect amount. The burger was out of this world! My husband has a double Meister burger and he said it was great and my son had the steak sandwich which was HUGE and a really good cut of steak that was made perfectly!
We will definitely be going back to this little gem and I highly recommend this place! They have lots of specials too!

POUR ME A C O L D O N E PLEASE !
After frequenting here both now and when the famous Meister Brothers owned this establishment, I still enjoy coming here when in the area.
Is it the tastiest, greasiest, best bar food? YUPPER DOO Heavy on the grease .
The Best thing I like about here, is that you can order a half order of an appetizer. I can get 2 different apps and call it a meal. :-P That with a drink is a balanced meal, right? And, don’t forget, the price is right.
Even better are the FRIENDLY staff. They seem sincere, and you can’t fake that. Truly. They act like they are actually happy to be at work. Why not, it’s a fun place to be. In the summer, it is no surprise to see a wedding party stop in for shots. Couple that with a group of bikes pulling in, and instant party.
This Meister’s is somewhat off the beaten path, but worth the drive. One fall I brought my mom out here from Roseville for the Octoberfest. She was 85, and we got to polka together under a tent like when I was a kid. Certainly a memorable experience. Thanks
Why does Scandia have Taco Days? Why don’t they have Swedish Meatball Days?.
I THINK GREASE IS GOOD FOR YOUR H A I R & S K I N

Went there Tuesday night to grab some burgers before we went to the cabin. We got all our food to go, I had a BBQ Bacon burger. In it was a large piece of beef cartilage or some kind of light brown hard piece of matter. This was the last straw for me. The last two times I have been there the bartender was slow and complained about having to work, Makes for an awkward atmosphere.

Beer here is dirt cheap and the people are usually colorful. If you’re in the mood for some ridiculously bad for you but very delicious German Nachos this is THE PLACE to go. What are German Nachos you say? Chips, sauerkraut, 1000 and cheese. I told you they were bad for you. They have Heggie’s pizza here. I don’t have a clue what it is, but it has a cult following so it must be good. Definitely a great dive in the middle of nowhere.

A small place and the service is always slow. We haven’t been back very often since they got rid of the Pigmeister on the menu. The owners should put this back on the menu and we’d be back every weekend! The German Nachos are delicious! They also have great specialty salads and generous portions. Great food!

Great Bar, great staff, above average bar food (the blue meister burger has tons of melted blue cheese and the chili is darn good, awesome fries). They have fun summer events. Its an all around nice place to go to.

I love going here because they have something for everyone. Their kids menu is great and they have great traditional fare, like hamburgers, sandwiches, and steaks. Meister’s is a small restaurant, but there is more room on the patio.

We ordered southwest nachos which where really good and of course enough to feed a crowd. I liked that they served the additional toppings on the side so that the chips (with real cheese baked on) didn’t get soggy. The BBQ burger both looked and smelled great. I ordered a burger with blue cheese and buffalo sauce which I was not a fan of. It just didn’t seem to go together well. The burger patties themselves were most likely from the freezer…
Atmosphere was a bar/​restaurant and the service was friendly and had a good time joining in on the banter between locals and servers.

I love living in this part of MN. Except for one thing. We are lacking in decent restaurants.
But Meister’s is one of the bright spots for Saturday morning breakfast. It’s not an upscale place. Just a small town place. But the chef prepares everything fresh and I saw some people drinking what looked like really good Bloody Mary’s. The omelets are huge. I couldn’t even finish mine. Nor could I eat the bacon I ordered with it. And it’s reasonably priced. How great is that?
Head over to Meister’s some Saturday morning for a great breakfast!

Not sure p.a.‘s review is for this Meister’s. This one is in Scandia – the restaurant with the stream flowing underneath is the Brookside in Marine on St. Croix, about 5 miles south, closed for renovation at the time of this review.
Meister’s Bar and Grill is a little better than what you would expect for a small town restaurant. Food is standard burger-​sandwich fare, with some weekly specials. Ribs on Wednesday nights, Fish Fry on Fridays. Had the fish – it is all you can eat, but they bring out two skimpy fillets the size of fish sticks and you have to reorder to get more. Kinda keeps you in check.
Burgers are good, reliable, tasty, a little greasy but lacking any great charbroiled flavor. Fries were super fresh and potato-​ey. Brisk but friendly, competent service. The place was hopping on a weeknight, we live about 10 miles away and ran into neighbors here.
Meister’s is warm, friendly, and casual. Don’t go with high expectations for standout food, but for something quick and tasty with a sweet, small-​town feel, this is the place to go. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could: 3 for the food and 4 for the atmosphere.

This place is so much nicer than it used to be! Great food, atmosphere, fun … All in a nice little out of the way town.

This place is cool– apparently a stream runs underneath the building. We had some decent burgers, made with real cheese, cooked to the correct temperature. Why 2 stars you ask? The service, people, the service! Our waiter rattled off specials, and ran off as soon as a person opened his mouth with a question. For example, «IsthereanythingelseI cangetyourightnow? ZZZZZZIIIIPPPP!!! Cut to our group with mouths agape. Ok, I can be picky as I was a waitress for many years– but why do so many people work in restaurants who clearly suck at their jobs? Don’t they understand why their cumulative tips add up to $ 7.00 a shift? Why?
