The Pub At The Pinicon - New Hampton

A couple of visits inform this review, which is 4 stars because one must take into account other options in the area, which are few. That preamble out of the way I like this place! The facility is faux English pub, with a woody vibe and lots of nooks and crannies. Servers are earnest, friendly, and very helpful, albeit not polished or slick. So far I have sampled the pork wings (breaded and fried slices of tenderloin AMAZING!!! ; the Reuben (solid, though weirdly served with Thousand Island on the side, not on the sandwich ; the platter of red onion rings (crazy delicious, if a tad salty ; and the spinach and artichoke dip (very cheesy mmmm . Friends and family have ordered the Walleye (looked wonderful , the nachos (a little odd and not recommended , the chicken fajita salad (unexpectedly lovely , and the ribeye (a wonderful cut of meat, sadly very overcooked . There are lots of beer choices and more varieties of wine than I expected (they carry Malbec! , well poured drinks, and the one dessert we tried (my birthday girl caramel sundae was lush. A word on portions and value: portions are HUGE. You 'll probably need a box. Prices are very fair and seem low to this city girl: great value for your money! If you are in the area and want a nice sit down meal in a cozy, friendly spot, this is the place.

I was not expecting much, but the food was actually pretty good. I was told to get the pork chop, which was cooked really well and seasoned properly. For about $22, I got two sides and the chop. Great value and decent food overall. Plenty of drinks to choose from and a larger beer selection than one would expect. So high marks for that! Service: For a place that was not very full, took forever for the server to take our order. Overall: When in the area, I guess head to where the locals go and come here!

Greatly disappointed. This was a stop on our Iowa Pork Producers BPT tour. The loin was extra meaty and breading thin. We paired it with their special breaded onion rings. Our complaint was in the preparation. It was over cooked and the bottom of bun disappeared after it absorbed all the grease from the loin. The onion rings was the same story. Hoping this is just an isolated case

Amazing pork tenderloin wings and onion rings! Lots of food. Ordered 12 pork tenderloin wing to share with hubby was too much good for the two of us. Very friendly staff. Worth the trip.

The pub was a different experience. The atmosphere was calm and quiet. We had a party of 22 and they are coming as well. Their Special for the day with the prime rib and it was pretty dang good. It probably was tinder perfect perfection. Time he was amazing. I Coupleed with the house salad and loaded potato and it filled me up. They had a few hiccups in my order but they were quick to recognize it and fix it quickly. Overall good service and food.
