Nestled just off I-94 in the heart of Sauk Centre, Crazy J's Bar & Grill is a vibrant local hotspot that expertly blends the casual charm of a neighborhood bar with the satisfying flavors of an American grill. This inviting venue has quickly earned a loyal following thanks to its welcoming atmosphere, attentive staff, and a menu packed with crave-worthy dishes that cater to all tastes.

At the core of Crazy J's food offerings is a delicious array of comfort classics elevated with thoughtful twists. Guests rave about the tender, flavorful Chicken Wings and the uniquely seasoned Pork Wings, which come highly recommended for their rich, well-spiced profiles. For those who love variety, the Junk Basket — a hearty sampler of fries, cheese curds, and mac and cheese bites — delights with its golden, crispy textures and gooey indulgence, perfect for sharing or simply indulging solo. The Quesadilla and fresh Caesar Salad offer a balanced contrast, while the signature burgers are an undeniable highlight. From the classic Hamburger and its cheesy counterparts to the house-special Crazy J Burger and the intriguingly seasoned Pep's Pork Patty, each bite bursts with juicy, satisfying flavors that leave a lasting impression.

The dessert menu is not to be overlooked either. Whether savoring the warm, soft Mini Donuts, delighting in a decadent Chocolate Lava Cake, or enjoying a nostalgic treat such as the Root Beer Float, the sweet options cap off the meal with a comforting finish. These treats bring a cozy, homey vibe to the dining experience, making every visit feel like a special occasion.

Beyond the food, Crazy J's is celebrated for its lively yet comfortable ambiance. The decor is fun and thoughtfully arranged, creating an inviting backdrop for everything from a casual night out with friends to a spontaneous stop during a road trip.

    Food was great. Definitely recommend the pork wings! Typical bar atmosphere but service was very slow. Long wait for drinks, even longer wait for food. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a stop.

    Small bar/grill just a little ways off I94. It is absolutely worth stopping at for great food and friendly staff. I will definitely be going out of my way in the future to eat here again.

    We adore this place and go often. The food is excellent, there's a ton of interesting things to look at, they have darts and pool, and the drinks are reasonably priced. Staff always does their best to be attentive even when they are busy which is appreciated.

    The chicken Wings had great flavor. My only disappointment is that they were broken and mis-cut wings. Which is fine but I would not expect to pay same amount for them as reguar wings. But they were good enough I would still go back and try the other food. There drink prices are some of the most reasonable I have seen. If nothing else will got there for them.

    I looked at the menu and knew this place could be a winner! My wife and I were not disappointed. Excellent! The staff were very friendly and there was a local festival going on in the street which added to the fun. A great time.
