We landed here in a happy accident today. We had lunch sitting at the bar. I had the short rib dip, which is a next level sandwich, and my wife had the fish and chips. I'm a glutton, so I can confirm that it was wonderful as well. Their brewed beers were delicious, and a THC green drink made the day!

I went in with no knowledge of this place. Food was great. Service was good! Lunchtime on Saturday was a calm and enjoyable atmosphere. Beers were nice, cocktails good, food was grand!

I came here for a birthday celebration, and the food was delicious and high quality. Got the breaded walleye. The crust of the fish was well seasoned, the fries were crispy, and the roasted vegetables were a good cut to the oil/fat. They also gave a free chocolate cake (with ice cream and ganache) to celebrate the event. It was moist and the frosting was rich and didn't leave any "oily" feeling.

I have been here on three occasions in the last six months. Each visit greeted me with amazing food, wonderful staff and a playful atmosphere. The manager was very attentive and professional. I love visiting whenever I go to the cities to see a Wolves or Loons game

First time here and just walking in I was so impressed with the beautiful atmosphere. Holiday decorations were still up and it was lovely. Jed was an awesome server and all our dishes were delicious. Food came out super fast and hot. Thanks for the enjoyable dinner!

The Freehouse offers a delightful dining experience with its creative menu, cozy ambiance, and impressive selection of house-made beers. We started with an order of the Brussels Sprouts, which were a pleasant surprise! The Goat Cheese added a creamy tang that perfectly complemented the sprouts. We also tried the Shrimp and Crab Cakes, which were flavorful and served with lemon wedge. For my main course, I had the Steak & Pierogi's. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and the pierogi's were pan-fried and served with crispy onion strings. This is my favorite dish at Freehouse! To end the meal, we shared the decadent Carrot Cake, which was one of the best slices I've ever had! Freehouse delivered a satisfying meal with creative twists on classic dishes. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner or a special occasion!

Fabulous drinks, appetizers (cheese curds and crostini ), entree’s (Baja bowl, tuna poke bowl) and dessert (carrot cake and creme brulee)! Service was excellent and the outdoor dining was lovely even on a hot night. We’ll be back!

My boyfriend and I came here from a coupon we had from CityTins. We both loved the cool and fun atmosphere of their outdoor patio space. We both got drinks (alcohol, beer, and THC mix) that we loved. He got the short ribs and I got the mac and cheese. The mac was incredibly cheesy with an extra pop from the mushrooms. We will definitely be back for more drinks, apps, good food, and cozy environment.
