Celts Craft House

Friendly and welcoming. I've been here half a dozen times and the food has been near perfect every time. And every dish. Waaaaaayyyyy more people should know about this place.

Great place to grab a bite to eat and watch a game . They also have a great patio in the summer and great drink selection. Plus the manager was really cool and gave great service. Check this place out for sure!

Started out with amazing drinks from the bar and went downhill from there. First, we ordered a beef ribeye and was given an undercooked pork ribeye. When notifying the waitress she said she would make it right. She then brought out the correct ribeye that was not close to being done. I ordered it medium and was given a blue rare steak that was barely warm in the center. The waitress removed it from the bill. On the way out, the bartender laughed and yelled "that's too bad, the manager is right here" and then walked into the kitchen and did not come back out. We waited for a few minutes to speak with the manager (who was sitting at the bar drinking) and we were never given the chance to speak with him as the bottom of his beer glass was always tipped up. Extremely disappointed and would not come back even for free "food".

Went there for St. Patrick's Day. Had the Shepard's Pie, which was mediocre. But the service was great, the atmosphere was also good.

I drive over 20 minutes to go to Celts and go at all times of the day. The food is fantastic for the price. Beers are a decent deal too and I've never had bad service. The fish fry on Friday is super good. The pork rib eye with carrots is delicious. Clean bathrooms. Highly recommend

Don't be fooled by the outside, the food is really good here! Ordered a fish sandwich and it was crunchy and fresh, the appetizer Shepard's Pie Skins are extremely good for potato lovers

Happened to be in Apple Valley and found this hidden gem that is not very noticeable while driving. It's located within Grand Stay Hotel and Conferences.

It was late - around 1:40pm or so - and we were on a father-daughter lunch date. The lunch hour rush was behind us and there were just a handful of diners. I assumed most of the staff would have left and they would be closing down after lunch.
But no, they were open with supposedly a skeleton crew and the bartender, Jim (Schire) attended to us right away. They have seating at the bar or tables or booths.

It was a very homely feeling inside and we settled down in a booth. They have a full bar and the choices of beer on tap made it a hard decision for what to have. Jim was happy to give us a taste. (I'll definitely be back for the nitro!). Did I mention, they have 22 or 23 different varieties on tap.

We ordered some Jalapeño chips and were pleasantly surprised when the order came. Assumed it would be potato chips with Jalapeño rub but they were actually jalapeños lightly battered. They had a mild heat, very tender yet crunchy. We came to know that Al (Brady), the chef/owner soaks them in his secret marinade the day before. Talk about labor of love, this is a must have again on our next trip!

The choice of burgers and sandwiches were also good. While my daughter ordered the Craft house burger, I went for the Rueben. It was loaded with corned beef which was so soft & tender that it literally disintegrated in the mouth.

It is evident that both Al and Jim take pride in the restaurant while looking after guests.

We live 35 minutes away but will be driving over again to try something else from their food menu and ofcourse the nitro!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. 95 % scratch kitchen, Irish and American, done VERY well. Craft cocktails and the owners annually pick their own casks of Makers Mark from the distillery itself. Gound floor of the the Grandstay in Apple Valley, MN. Also live music.
