“On Friday night, August 11th, I got delayed in Bemidji by thunderstorms. I was supposed to land in Minneapolis by 7 and then go to the hotel for a quiet and relaxing evening. Instead, I arrived at 11:30 p.m., totally exhausted and frazzled. I had missed dinner and my husband called the hotel and asked if he could have a pizza delivered for me. When I arrived, I mentioned this to the women at the front desk. They smiled and told me it was already in my room! I then asked if there was any way I could order a glass of wine to also take to my room. They smiled and said the was already taken care of. When I got to my room, not only did I find a small pizza and glass of wine sitting on the table for me, but they had added a Hersheys Candy bar and a hand written card to me..all on their own!! I still have the card and will keep it as a sign to me of how kind total strangers can be. The card reads, "Welcome! So glad you made it safe. Here's a love token from your husband. Enjoy your night! Sleep tight. Love, HGI staff Give these women a raise!! They turned a very exhausting and stressful night into such a wonderful experience. I was only able to be in your hotel for a total of 6 hours, but I slept so well knowing I was so cared for! Thank you!!!“

“Love this spot. Great owners. Great feel. Good food. One of my favs.“

“Great experience, such friendly, quick service, food was delicious, steak & mimosas for breakfast were outstanding!“

“Great service, friendly staff, fun environment ! Definitely recommend as a place to go to get a bite have a couple drinks and have fun playing pool and darts with friends and family :-)“

“The best staff and team !!“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“Excellent breakfast and service“

“Prompt service and great quality and tasty food !“

“It’s a great place….what’s not to love!“

“I’ve been there and think it’s pretty freaking good pub burger is the bomb beer cold and clean glasses. Nothing better that a great burger and beer in joint D,D&D’s are spot on. Thanks Guy F.“

“Loved this place. Great wings and delicious burgers. Plus Root beer on tap. Miss this place next time I’m back in Minnesota I will definitely be eating there!“

“Best dive bar around you won’t regret it“

“Great for weekend activities“

“Recommend them. Just like the UK justice system only recognize two genders. A++“

“Went on a Wednesday evening after happy hour ended and the place was pretty open luckily. Seated and served a group of eight people well especially as most people only got drinks. Can’t attest the rest of their food but I tried the walleye BLT and it was shockingly pretty good. Definitely wasn’t expecting bar to serve such good food but would definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. I do hear this place gets pretty packed when there’s events at the theater next door so keep that in mind.“

“Great experience as our first time!“

“Minneapolis can be intimidating for a small town Wisconsin girl like me. I was looking for a pub that felt like home and Mackenzie’s was exactly what I was looking for! Such a warm and cozy atmosphere. I was impressed by the very unique selection of seasonal cocktails and the pretty diverse menu (so many things looked good it was hard to decide). I’m still thinking of the Thai peanut wrap days later, seriously some of the best sauce I’ve had in my whole life. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Minneapolis!“

“Food was awesome. Friday fish fry was only $15 and it was amazing. Can’t wait to go back tomorrow for dinner!“

“While the food was good, service needs improvement. I had the Potato Skins which were very good. My husband had the Ruben. He asked for fries and got waffle fries. Was never offered seasoned sour cream, while my cousin ordered fries, got crinkle cut fries and was offered seasoned sour cream. My husband said the Ruben was good but could have used a little more dressing. Not once were our water glasses refilled or was the offer made to have them refilled.“

“Awesome Karaoke Great Karaoke Host and Great Staff Great Singers Nice People Great Atmosphere Those of You who like to sing Karaoke I recommend this Karaoke Venue“

“Absolutely love the Bulldog Downtown & LowerTown!!! Best burgers & Phillies ever!! So glad to be back!!!“

“What a nice, comfortable, and enjoyable place. We were staying close and wanted a burger for dinner, and the were over the top, fantastic! You gotta have the waffle fries, they’re worth stopping in on their own. The service was spot on, timely, and polite. Olivia was our server and she made us feel like we were her only customers, and the place was busy. Great place to bring the family. Two thumbs up for Team POG, Minneapolis!!“

“Stopped in at Neisen's last Wednesday night to check out and scout the talent on their karaoke night. Excellent joint, large and spacious. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Very affordable drink and food prices.

Ordered a club sandwich with fries and it was absolutely delicious. Sandwich was toasted just right and lots of meat and veggie in between the perfectly toasted bread. Asked to have the french fries made crispy and they totally met the mark, golden brown crispy and not burnt. Tons and tons of parking.

El Gato's Recommendation:
Highly recommend Neison's for a bite and a pint. Stop and you won't regret it.
Music (singers) were excellent too by the way!“

“Jackson's Hole gas pretty good happy hour drink specials“

“Our Bar Tender Becky was the best...“

“Ordered tuna melt and fries. I'm surprised they could spare the 15 cold fries. Sad 😔“

“Lovely little spot to hang out. Beautiful inside and the staff is friendly. They also have a little patio area in the alley. The space as a whole was clean.
I tried the guava cooler mocktail and it was delicious.
Great space for music too. The stage and sound system are set up really great.“

“Welcoming, with just the right amount of lighting, TVs, ambient music and TVs. Cozy bar area. Highly recommend the chips and queso, it's way more complicated and tasty than it sounds. Plenty of street parking. You'd be dumb not to go here.“

“Totally accommodated our baseball team during the State Tournament despite not having knowledge of the tournament. They were kind, respectful, and did all they could to get our orders in within a limited amount of time. We love this place and appreciate their willingness to serve us despite being short staff during a crazy, busy time.“

“quiet Sunday afternoon, places was pretty empty.
expected standard pub fare, and were surprised to find really good brats and hot dogs. ordered a beet salad and all was fresh and flavorful. will keep it in mind for future forays into that area.“

“Great first time experience & delicious food! My kids & I were searching for a place to have a late dinner and ended up at The Tavern. We were quickly greeted & seated, our waiter was super attentive to us, and the food was amazing! We had the walleye, juicy lucy and (grilled) chicken pasta Alfredo. Will definitely go back for a date night to try some cocktails with my husband.“

“A local Rochester, MN restaurant chain -now branching out to a new location- Newt’s (Apple Valley) brings everything we love about the Rochester locations (GREAT burgers, beers, and unlimited popcorn!) to our little corner of the Metro. We were stoked when we heard Newt’s had arrived, and our first visit there certainly delivered. The food and atmosphere were excellent. Great service too! Welcome to our neighborhood Newt’s. We wish you much success here in Apple Valley, MN. Keep it up.“

“The food and drinks were good“

“Buffet is worth every penny“

“Food was great. Service was great. Ambiance was great.“

“Deb is the Bartender here. we just love her, people person, her Personality is infectious!! Great Food!!😊“

“First timers. My grandson found this spot for dinner, online. We had six people our group (from Wisconsin),and were easily accomodated with a reservation on a Saturday evening.
Loved the atmosphere, open kitchen concept and decor. Plenty of parking in the lot out front when we arrived.
Hostesses greeted us with smiles and were very pleasant. They got our table set up (four of us arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation at 6:15pm) and we were seated promptly.
Our server, Julia, did a great job! Drinks, food and dessert were delivered in a very timely manner. She was great with questions and very friendly.
We started with waters and a few beverages. Great Malbec! And one of my boys tried the NA Pomegranate Mojito-said it was very good.
Calamari starter..very tasty and the spicy mayo added a nice zip.
My boys had the Mongolian Beef and the Orange Peel Chicken. Hubby had the French Dip, I had the small Caesar Salad and the French Onion Soup. My daughter had Buffalo Chicken Wrap and grandson had Carne Tacos.
All the dishes were delicious.
We also had dessert. Two Creme Brulee, a Flour less Chocolate Cake and a Turtle Cheesecake. All presented delightfully. We shared all. Cheesecake and Chocolate Cake were amazing. The Creme Brulee, however, was not the best we've had. (3 out of 5) Slightly disappointing, but seemed like the consistency was off and slightly pasty. It was still eaten, though! We try it anytime it's on the menu. Presentation was beautiful. Certainly wouldn't keep us from coming and trying it (all) again.
Thanks, Tavern 23, for a wonderful spontaneous family dinner get-together on a cold and snowy January evening!“

“As a vendor. HBC management made me feel comfortable. All the employees were positive and always smiling. I love this type of environment.“

“thank you for feeding us at saluting branches! the food was top notch! much appreciated!!“

“Very lovely restaurant. Good prices and awesome drinks, staff is awesome!“

“Love it! Great service and fantastic bar food out in the edges of the Twin cities.“

“Always a good time, wonderful neighborhood bar.“

“Best bar in Apple valley!!!!“

“The fact you can stop in here on a Sunday and get 10 jumbo wings for 5 bucks is actually an insane deal. It might just be a Sunday thing but they also had half off apps while we were there too. The wings were perfectly cooked, moist and the BBQ ones were delicious. Our waitress was also super nice so we left her a nice tip. It wasn't very busy while we were there which is probably because it's a holiday weekend. However, I could see this place getting super busy with the kind of deals they are offering.“

“I had the Walleye Poboy on sourdough with sweet potato fries.
Fries were waffle-style and great. Fish sandwich nicely done, but needed more sauce.
Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere is decent for an airport restaurant.“

“In between flights we stopped at Ike's Clubhouse. We were trying to find a reasonable spot. We all know airport restaurants can be expensive. But with the luck of Google, we were able to find Ike's. Chase, our waiter was good. My wife and I weren't too hungry so we told Chase we were going to share a meal. Well to our surprise, the server came out with our meal split in two plates. My wife and a were in aww of the hospitality. I know I know that you're thinking, that is a minor detail, but to us that went a long way. I was just expecting a plate with our food, I'd cut it in half and ask for another plate, but they thought about that prior. Besides that, the food was good, the price was reasonable for an airport restaurant and the hospitality was top notch. Thank you Chase and staff!!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator to get to the upper level where the restaurant is located.“

“The Charcuterie boards ordered on-line were delicious and wonderful! They contacted me as I had asked for all boards and no plastic trays. I appreciated the effort to accommodate my request. Thank you“

“Nice pool tables and live music :)“
