Trumble’s Restaurant

Chili cheese fries and chicken tenders as appetizers. While very tasty, we got the «Choose Two» option, which gave no indication that the portions would be cut in half! We got 2 chicken tenders… Pretty disappointed in that. We asked the server how many came in the regular size and she said 6 – 8. Why then did we get 2? Confused. We also got the roast beef dinner plate special and it was also very good and we would say worth the price. But the appetizers, not so much. Tasty but make sure you ask what you are getting!

Ordered the roast beef lunch special. It was amazing. The mashed potatoes and gravy was the perfect compliment to the roast beef. Green beans were perfectly seasoned. Ranch was delicious on the salad. The only thing that left something to be desired was the roll — wasn’t very fresh and was cold. Service was friendly.

Been coming here for years. The pie display. The hot beef or hot pork. The burger and malt combo. The fried fish. Breakfast. The specials. It doesn’t matter what I get, it’s always comfort food at Trumbles. Served up by kind people. Simple and timeless. Highly recommend.

We had excellent meals here. Tomato soup was wonderful and staff very friendly. Hot beef was superb. Would definitely return

Very Basic. Nothing Special. Food was bland and the service was not great. Much better places to eat nearby. Really wish I had gone somewhere else.

If you long for the smells, food, and ambience of an under-​funded old folks home, then look no further. The favorites on the menu include prune juice and mash potatoes. Applesauce and various puddings make up their dessert tray.

Holy cow — absolutely delicious. Malts and pies are to die for, and the fried chicken melted in my mouth.

Average food with average service. Nothing special. I always seem to forget about this place, it’s kind of an older person restaurant.

Had the walleye. Under cooked tasteless and slimey. Can have better food at a Dennys and cheaper

Stopped by for lunch on a Wed. when driving by on Interstate 35. Busy with a senior citizen crowd. Appetizer of onion rings were thick, sweet slices of onion served piping hot. Unfortunately they were also very greasy. Chose the lunch special of fried walleye sandwich with 1 side for $ 11. The chicken & wild rice soup chosen for the side was thick, creamy and pretty good. The sandwich was a nice, large walleye fillet on a fresh hoagie roll. Unfortunately it was also very greasy. The service was good and food was served quickly and piping hot. I consider it an OK local Midwestern restaurant. Not bad, but not sure I’d go out of my way to eat here again. If so, I would definitely not eat anything fried.

The 60 or so year old woman that sat us at our table and gruffly asked «what do ya want ta drink,» was the introduction to our rather interesting lunch at Trumble’s… after watching the woman walk herself back to the serving counter and strike up a rather loud conversation with another elderly waitress about «rotten kids» and how much she dislikes young people, she casually filled two glasses of water that sat on the counter while she finished her conversation.
She meandered back and slid them across the table at us and asked «alright, what do ya want to eat?»
After taking our full order she sauntered on back to the service counter to slowly enter in our food order while striking up yet another loud conversation about her sisters grand kids that she «hated» because they were just «too f@cking loud.»
The food… wasn’t very good. The salad was nice, if you figure that any standard dinner salad just comes out of a few different bags in the fridge. But the burger my partner had… was really overdone, and rather flavorless. The sandwich that I had looked like it had been toasted on only one side, and was more mayo than it was meat.
From start to finish, this was not worth the $ 24 dollar bill excluding a tip. And for a self (and loudly) proclaimed «young person hating woman» I didn’t include much of one.
I tip for service, not out of obligation. Sorry Ethel.

Great service and good food!

Went here with my girlfriend, the moment we walked in we felt like we were in a hospital or a nursing home, the food was mediocre, waitress was a bit rude, probably wont be returning.

Great small town family restaurant with good food. Onion rings were delicious & I wish I had had room for a shake. Our waitress provided great service.

Family dining in Albert Lea. The restaurant was clean, food was good, service was adequate. Would definitely eat here again.

Just passing thru Albert Lea. Consulted Unilocal to find a restaurant. Trumbles was listed but no reviews were made. We selected it based on observation of the type of customers going in, the sizable number of cars in the parking lot and a review of the menu. As advertised, it is a local, family restaurant. The décor was what one would expect. The food was good, service was adequate. Furnishings were in good repair. Everything appeared very clean. Most of the customers appeared to be middle-​aged and older. Most were locals who seemed to have been there before. The outside landscaping was beautiful with lots of well-​cared-​for flowers. In spite of only paper napkins, we’d stop in again.
