Excellent breakfast. I had a veggie omelette and it was cooked perfectly. Also it was a lot. I couldn't finish it. My son had a perfectly cooked 4 oz steak and a hash brown skillet meal. He was super hungry. The atmosphere was nice. Breakfast prices were reasonable and the staff are excellent.

Walleye and salad bar was absolutely the best! Could have ate that 5 days a week. If I get back to Crookston I'll be at the Shanty!

My boo, daughter and pup went on a surprise road trip to Mayville and Crookston. We ate a delicious breakfast in Mayville. Lots of men at breakky. The server was very friendly, with nice big hair, but somewhat forgetful. Oh well! Overall vibe was great.

Visiting Crookston friends and came here for dinner. The server was awesome, especially in tolerating my friends and me giggling like fools when we first came in. I had chicken strips and a baked potato. I was told to get the Sweet Chili sauce and was NOT disappointed. I was happy to see the salad bar, since those are getting harder and harder to find. I didn't get to see the bar area so I'll just have to go back.

Very welcoming. Excellent food. My wife and J have visited a number of times and have been exceptionally pleased with each, different, course meals we've ordered. I recommend the BBQ ribs.... as I walked into "The Shanty" sweet shafts of smoke tickled my taste buds and led me straight for the BBQ. The Owner, Andy, even came over to our table checking on our experience. The waitstaff were very warm and enjoyable.
