Giggles' Campfire Grill

We loved the walleye cakes paired with a cold Dill Pickle 🥒 beer! Another favorite is the Duck Bacon wontons!

Superior place to get excellent foods and delicious craft beers. They make food and specialty sauces from scratch, serve smoked salmon and walleye, as well as tender pork. All around the best choice for quality fair food.

As usual the Elk burger was great as was the Walleye fingers and fries. One of our favorite places at Minnesota State Fair.

Was fortunate to get a table as this place is always busy. Excellent service. Fun and unique items. We all loved the pickle beer! 🍺

Amazing place! The line was long but they moved super fast! Friendly staff even with the long lines and hellish heat. Be sure to try the s'mores beer and walleye fries!

I love thier elk burgers so good with BBQ sauce and I love hard cider so thier raspberry hard cider was amazing

Must visit place for the fair. Lines are long for food at the front of the building but it is well worth it. All things on the menu are full of flavor and very diverse options of food. The line moves fairly quick. The food is similar to American or bar food. There is also a wonderful pavilion behind the building that has lots of seating but also gives shade from the sun or protection from the rain. In the pavilion there is almost always great music or entertainment. There is additional line on the pavilion for beer and wine only, this line will often appear long but moves incredibly fast only about a 1-3 minute wait from getting in line to getting your drink and only when it is busy.

One of my favorite food places at the MN state fair. Had the new duck drummies this year and they were fabulous. Also had the duck bacon wontons, also excellent, my 2.5 year old approved as well. I've also had the walley mac n cheese which is good as well. Worth a trip up to the north end of the fair to eat here. Also for those 21 and over there is a good beer selection too.

Great fish and game food selections! The lines go fast and are worth it. Crazy number of beers to choose from to go with your meal. Large seating area in back with many tables to rest your feet and meet up with friends and family.

Giggles is a mandatory stop every year at the fair! I have to get the walleye cakes- they are just so tasty and cooked perfectly. I also enjoy their wide selection of beer and cider, often including a few exclusives!

I hate fish! Husband always makes me try it. SO glad he did this time I LOVED the walleye cakes. I almost took the dish from him and ate them all myself.
AMAZING!!
And the sauce Oh SO DELICIOUS!

We had a fall wedding here and I don't think it could have turned out any better. Giggles (the man, the myth, the legend) himself surprised our guests with their newest state fair treat, the duck wontons, before dinner. Everyone agreed the food was incredible (get the beef, oh my god is it good), including the late night snacks of cheese curds, mini corn dogs and mini donuts (one last state fair hurrah!). The staff were consistently top notch. Ali helped coordinate the event and did a fantastic job even though her wedding was only a few weeks before ours! If you're looking for a unique local for your special event, talk to Giggles now. They'll bend over backwards for you. If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing.

I had the deep fried chicken bacon I got a sample from a lady that was sitting next to us. I cannot think of your restaurant name so I had to call KQRS and ask them. I wish I could get more of this it was delicious and the dipping sauce that came with it was excellent I can't think of the name but would like to know. You have a restaurant outside of the State Fair

Giggles’ is a yearly craving and the first stop every year at the State Fair. The walleye cakes are to die for with the sauce and the specialty beers are always enjoyable. The duck bacon wontons are also a great addition in the last couple years!

The craft beer and the walleye cakes make this a must stop every year during the MN State Fair. Live music at most times of the day too! The covered seating area they added a few years ago is great.

Always great food and service. One of my favorite food places at the fair. The new duck drummies were amazing! Please keep those on the menu!

Amazing Walleye cakes!!

My son and his fiancé, now his wife, choose this as the venue for their wedding. I can't speak to how it is during the fair, I can only say that we all had a wonderful time two weeks later.

Giggle's Campfire Grill exceeded our wildest dream in making our wedding reception perfect. Tim (Giggles) and his staff were so helpful with all of our requests and in anticipating our needs. They made our night stress-free so we could just enjoy ourselves. We've had dozens of guests contact us since our wedding saying that the food was THE BEST food they've ever had at a wedding and that it was the coolest venue. If you're looking for a little Minnesota, something on a stick and an overall fun wedding experience that your guests won't forget - check out Giggle's Campfire Grill at the State Fair.
