Schmitty's Timeout Tavern - La Crescent

Has good food. Drinks could be better for the mixes and let noise during sports events

A very neat and organized sports bar, with a lot of room, food, and beverages, alcoholic and other. They have daily specials, like fish on Fridays, which is what we had. I had three pieces, tater rounds, and cold slaw. I could only eat two of the huge pieces, the rounds and the slaw. The slaw was exceptionally good, made fresh on site. Price was about $14 for the meal. Service was excellent, food was great. They had a wide and varied menu. I would go there again.

I ordered a burger, which turned out to be the driest I have ever encountered. Knowing how long it would take to get our server's attention, I simply slathered it with mustard and ate what I could. Ultimately, we wished the bartender had been our server because she was attentive to her customers. After another long wait for our server to return, we even considered leaving. However, as a former chef in the food service industry, I felt we should remain. I ended up getting the check from the bar, paying, and leaving. We will definitely not be returning during our next visit. Overall, we were extremely disappointed.

I had my first experience at this restaurant and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was very cozy, and the staff was incredibly attentive. Our server and bartender, Tim, truly stood out; he was wonderful! He made sure our drinks were always filled and that everyone was happy with their service. He genuinely deserves a raise for his friendly demeanor and how he treats all customers, not just a select few. I’ve noticed other places that tend to focus on certain patrons while ignoring others, but this restaurant is not like that. I highly recommend giving it a try. The food was excellent, and the burgers came on a unique bun that was definitely not your typical sesame seed variety. The drinks were expertly mixed, and I have no complaints at all!

This spacious local bar offers a fantastic atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed the wings along with the generous selection of sauces. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful bar/restaurant!
