Celts Craft House 7083 153rd Street West, Apple Valley, MN 55124

"I went there for a quick meal. The server, Kirsten, went above and beyond for a special request. The BLT was excellent. But the beef vegetable soup was second to none. The beef was tender and the vegetables were diced. The broth was out of this world. Service was fast and courteous."

"Was super excited to try this place and finally able to. The food was really good and flavorful. My husband enjoyed his burger a lot as well. The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is the fries and bun were pretty soggy upon delivery. I think if we had eaten at the restaurant instead of delivering it wouldn't have been an issue."

"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!"
