Bartenders have kick ass personalities. Definitely got a sibling vibe from them. They give eachother crap in a fun way, but restaurant work is a grind and they were upbeat and on top of taking care of the guests. I enjoyed it. Plus the tater tots were piping hot when they came out with my sandwich. I paid $3 for extra turkey and they definitely didn't short change me. Delicious. The crowd there was great too. All smiles, no drama, just a pleasure. I'll be back.

What a great place! Aberdeen has been needing a nice place like this, which is also family friendly up to a certain time. It is upstairs in an older building, we loved the old architecture/history of the building and atmosphere, and they upgraded inside pretty well. Good service, drinks were mixed nicely, the food we ordered was fantastic! We will be coming back.

Friends treated me to dinner so we came here and it was great! Food was awesome, service was quick and the gal was informative and friendly. Had a great time. Parking is on the street and there is an elevator in case you can't do the stairs as the bar is on the 2nd floor, but the entrance is street level. Come check out a great bar and grill in Aberdeen. I definitely recommend!

Food is fresh, made to order, and delicious. I absolutely love the chicken Caeser salad. The burgers are always juicy and flavorful, service is warm and stellar. Say hi to the many plants that are clearly well-loved. The daytime feel is vibrant but relaxing and family-friendly. With events most nights of the week including karaoke and live music, Messy Jessy's is a fun and exciting place to hang out in the Harbor :)

This place is great. Once I came in off the street in downtown Aberdeen, and walked up the stairs I was greeted by a very friendly server who was able to sit me immediately. Without hesitation she had my menu in front of me, and my drink order on the way. The whole time my server was polite, and accommodating. The food I ordered was very affordable, and when it arrived it was perfect. I'm picky with my food, and the cook didn't miss a beat. The atmosphere was inviting, and had a sort of secret dive bar appeal. The music was on point, my drinks never ran dry, and my server was always taking care of me. I recommend stopping in if you are in town, it's worth the visit.

Awesome place! A little hard to find, but worth it. There are many stairs but there is a elevator. Food was great and not too expensive same with the drinks. Service was excellent! We came on a open mic night which was a lot of fun. We plan on coming back on Tues more. I dont know why we didnt come in sooner!

Chicken Caesar salad is amazing! It comes with bacon bits but it’s real bacon! The bartenders are always friendly and make the atmosphere that much more enjoyable. Great place to stop for a bite to eat and a cold beverage. 10/10 highly recommend.
