“Alright, so after a few visits, here’s what I’ve experienced:

Smash burger is amazing; it’s basically all I’ve ordered for at least 8 visits now.

Seven out of eight visits have been great, with just one exception.

Here’s why they don't get the fifth star:

Seat Yourself is fine; I don't mind it. However;

I came in with two business associates I had told about the awesome smash burger.

It was full on a Friday 07/17, with nowhere to sit. The heat of the day was gone, and the patio was in the shade.

We were standing awkwardly while waiting for a table, and not one staff member said hello. I asked if we could sit on the patio and was told no, even after I pointed out it wasn’t that hot anymore, there was shade, and no seating inside. It felt like I was told it wasn’t my problem and was blown off.

So, I can only assume this place is so successful that they don't bother with customer service and make so much money that common-sense solutions to problems in making that money don't matter to the owners.

Also I was a little embarrassed that happened after I talked the place up.

Sincerely, Fellow business owner“

“Great food and reasonably priced“

“The best French Onion Soup in the Twin Cities is at The Sunshine Factory.“

“Great time at Macs! Awesome place to watch Football!“

“We have been coming to Boston’s Pizza for ten years, and every single visit has been amazing! The kids always enjoy their food, my wife always has a great meal, and everyone leaves happy. It’s one of the best places for a family to relax and enjoy a great dinner together. The pizza is always ten stars! We highly recommend Boston’s Pizza!“

“For an original North Loop neighborhood feel, Cuzzy’s is a MUST visit. For everyone in town this weekend, it’s part of the true Minneapolis experience. Great staff and awesome food!“

“If bumper cars and lacrosse had a wild, adrenaline-fueled baby, it would be WhirleyBall—and Maple Grove delivers it perfectly! From the second we hopped into those little buggies, it was non-stop bumping, spinning, laughing, and the occasional “wait, where’d the ball go?!” moment. The staff was awesome—super friendly, quick with instructions, and clearly just as excited as we were to watch the chaos unfold. The court was clean, well-lit, and big enough for plenty of action without feeling cramped. Whether you’re a first-timer (like a few of us Googling “what is WhirleyBall” in the parking lot) or a seasoned scoop-handling pro, it’s impossible not to have fun here. By the end, we were sweaty, laughing, and already planning the rematch. If you’re looking for a place that combines competition, comedy, and just enough chaos to keep you humble—WhirleyBall Maple Grove is it.“

“I love to take my family for dinner at Apple bees, and other places around have been a disaster, but Fridley location it has impress me a lot by the way I was welcome at the entrance the server and the chef ! DULCE was very attentive checking on us if we needed anything else and if everything was good, and can't complain I wish other restaurants count with her example of customer service! And the chef Patric he was impressive the way he cook my meals and decorated our plates , we order steak and salmon but the rest of restaurants cannot compare to the level of detail and delicacy on our food! Thank you I would recommend you stop by and ask for this great folks so you have an amazing meal and experience!“

“The 1029 Bar is everything a neighborhood bar should be—friendly, unpretentious and always a great time. The giant outdoor screen makes it one of the best places in Minneapolis to watch football with a crowd. Between the pulltabs, bingo and the wheel, there’s always something fun going on. Add in the famous lobster rolls, strong drinks and great staff, and it’s hard to beat. A true Northeast Minneapolis classic!“

“great place and great food!!“

“Had my son's grooms/rehearsal dinner here. Great food, amazing service and AFFORDABLE! Will recommend to any and all to host their event here!! No regrets!“

“Love the new space. Digital signage said burgers were $3 on Wednesdays. They were $4. Still tasty and a great deal, but update your sign. I sat for 10 minutes and watched the server take a picture of people at a table and chat with her friends. Never came near my high top table. I finally went to the bartender (very nice) who took my drink and food order. Server swung by 10 minutes later (20 minutes after I sat down). Told her I ordered from the bartender. She never stopped by after that. I was there for 45 minutes, saw her interact with her tables twice. Service was pretty scarce. 2 or 3 staff sitting in a booth. If the bartender hadn't been awesome, I would have left. Burger and onion rings were good.“

“Love love love!! The food and service are top-notch 👌“

“Pinball, bowling and food oh my. This was my first love when getting back into pinball...they have a great selection of machines and it's a bit closer to home than litt. If you're in the area check it out! Happy hour starts at 9 so grab an appetizer and a brewski and you are in heaven!“

“Found this place while oh holidays. It is fantastic, the food is beautiful and the servers are so friendly. There is something for all the family. My kids loved playing in the arcade and my husband was in his element with all the sport. I loved the cocktails. Being from Ireland it was lovely to meet a fellow Irish man Darren, I think his name was. We had a fantastic time and will be back on our next trip.“

“Myself and two friends attended Golden Girls Pub Crawl; the event was great fun. But at 10am, music was too too LOUD. Could we get the party started at a moderate volume in the mid-morning? -2 stars for volumeOh--and loved the lockable, no look-under-or-over, gender-non-specific, full door and full privacy bathrooms??? Bonus +1 star.“

“Good food and friendly service. I had the tacos and they were delicious.“
