Rock 'n' roll and pub fare go together like peanut butter and jelly, cake and ice cream, or a peanut butter and jelly ice-cream cake and a messy kitchen. Relish a delectable union with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $14 worth of American fare and drinks at The Cove Pub and Restaurant in Prior Lake.

The Cove's rock 'n' roll-infused menu fends off grumbling belly drum solos with a wealth of musically dubbed pub plates. Kick off mealtime medleys with an order of Onion Ringz of Fire ($5.95) before moving on to mouthwatering main courses. Satiation-seeking diners can delve into the Nat King Cove burger basket, a double-stacked burger appetizingly accessorized with all the trimmings ($9.95), or tastily toboggan on the saucy slopes of the Dixie chicken alfredo pizza, replete with garlic chicken and alfredo sauce on a thin, crispy crust (12", $13). Sups may be paired with sips of beer, such as Summit pale ale ($4 for 16 oz.) or a globally sourced selection of wine, such as the Italian Gionelli pinot grigio ($4 a glass, $15 a bottle). The Cove accommodates petite prodigies with a kids’ menu, sure to satisfy those who still play Wipeout on pots and pans and rock out with pet rocks.

Framed records, a mounted fish, and flat-screen TVs account for some of the glittering Americana adorning The Cove's chockablock walls. Stop in on Friday or Saturday evenings to hear live music on the stage, or perform dramatic tabletop readings of Billy Joel songs for the lyric-loving masses.

• Sometimes you just want to eat a burger. Eating a burger at The Cove, is like eating at your older brother's apartment; your older brother that was into records, fishing, hunting, and skateboarding. The Cove has a relaxed hang-out type vibe where you can be comfortable, kickback, and hang with some friends. – Love Feast, Urbanspoon
