“Instagram worthy cocktails, amazing food, unique items like a GIANT Mozzarella Stick. huge pretzel, even a Ribeye. The decor is pretty sweet. Live music, but Top40's, 42 massive TV's, a true sports bar that the area is lacking, and open til 2am“

“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“

“Picked up food February 3rd, and the staff were so welcoming and kind, placed my order from the sweet bartender lady and the the food was wonderful!!!! Thank you to the chef and his tasty talents 👍“

“Their wings are delicious and we had excellent service today. I’m ready to go again.“

“We got their two hour pizza and bowling party for my daughter‘s birthday and it was a hit! We had 12 people and got three lanes so we were all comfortably spread out. For the amount of people we had, we got three pitchers of soda with unlimited refills, water, and three pizzas. The guys at the service desk were very helpful, polite and friendly. We had a great experience!“

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

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

“Great food and reasonably priced“

“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.“

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

“first time eating at this restaurant, very nice surprise! my server Bree was very helpful and gave me good recommendations. she was very cheerful and makes me feel very welcomed. if I have time i will definitely visit again.“

“The meat part of my burger was delicious, cooked medium and flavorful. The brioche bun was too sweet for my taste. Salad was decent, good blue cheese dressing. My only real quibble is that I asked for no raw onion on the burger and it came loaded with them. Service was efficient, if unsmiling.“

“Twin Cities Purdue Alumni Club basketball game watch. Great food and atmosphere. Server was exceptional with a large group, different tabs.“

“Classic thin crust pizza like no other. An institution in Columbia Heights second to none.“

“Great food, amazing staff, fun atmosphere!“

“This is by far the nicest Sportsbar/pool hall I have ever been in. Super good food and the place is unbelievably clean. Owner Jerry and staff were super friendly and I got the meet Litte Joe Villalpondo while I was there. Thanks Jerry, it was fun.“

“Brie is THE BEST Bartender, she is Kind and Efficient! Played Etabs and Enjoyed Drinks! 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We stopped at Manning's on 12/19/23 and ordered their burger & fries. The food was soooo good and the service was excellent! We will be back!!!“

“Great staff Great drinks Good music“

“It's good food, and the service varies due to time of day, day of the week and possible holidays. I just wish they also had Mountain Dew Voltage. And a better selection of NA Beer. At every location. There's no way I'm going to go to everyone and leave a review.

But seriously, the food is really good, and like I said, the service varies from time of day and so on.“

“Great Chicken BLT Salad! Everyone at the table was pleased with their meals. I would definitely come again!!“

“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!“

“One of my favorite stops before and after the game service is always great. wide selection of great food options and drink specials .“

“Love this place so much. Simulators are great and staff is even better!!“

“Popped in after The Foo Fighters show last night. Staff was phenomenal handling that higher-than-normal Sunday night volume. Was a great place to sit for a bit and have many beers and some great conversation with strangers, as well as with the very nice and efficient bar staff. Thanks for having me.“

“Great spot for food within walking distance of our hotel. Great atmosphere, great sports bar. Would definitely recommend.“

“Service great. I just have one problem their wheat bread is so amazing either being served on sandwich or just side bread I just can't get enough of that wonderful bread. Been tempted to ask to buy a loaf. Keep up with the great service and food. Thank you“

“We used to live in the area and stopped by almost every week. Even though we moved about an hour away, we still make a point to stop in whenever we're in the Cities. The food, drinks, and atmosphere have always kept us coming back. It's one of those places that's worth going out of your way for.“

“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!“

“We had so much fun here for my husband’s birthday. We went as a family of 5. The gal who was taking care of us overheard us wishing him a happy birthday and threw in free donuts which were delicious. The margarita was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was great!“

“1029 and Smack Shack started the food truck movement in Minnesota. They paired up back when this all started in 2011, we came out shortly after.

As always their food is amazing. We always get the Mac and cheese and shrimp.

The decor is pretty typical Nord East bar atmosphere. Very eclectic with a few bras hanging from the ceiling.

This is a Bucket List!

TRUST THE TRUCK“

“great place and great food!!“

“yes, yes!!! it's tha spot n it was CRUNK n it was free🤞“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great food and excellent service. The atmosphere needs an overhaul specifically the lighting. tables and chairs. It's way to bright and the ceiling is too high and visually needs to be lowered with something decorative. Comes across as a big room with bright lights.“

“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.“

“Please Do NOT host any organization that promised to start at 8 pm but they started around 9 pm. I talk about Magic Hunks. And right after 20 minutes they started they started to sell another ticket for 30 minutes. I am extremely disappointed. It is Sunday night and l never though l will get disappointed in this level.“

“Waitress brought the food but never came back to see if everything was OK and never refilled my iced tea.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp down the middle of the restaurant so you'd be able to go to either side.“

“Great place!! Lots of fun!!“

“Shout out to Tatum and Samantha.
Tatum keeps this restaurant alive and friendly. Beyond great customer service from her.
Shout out to Samantha, there was an issue and she handled it flawlessly and professionally. Thank you ladies!!“

“I had some awesome ribs! Came with fries, slaw and some wicked beans! 😋 Great crowd. Very welcoming. 🤗 It seemed like everyone, knew everyone. A lot of hospitality! I would highly recommend this Applebee's location.“
