“I'm breaking my code. If it gets out how good the wings are here. Everyone will be here. But they are to good to keep this secret. You won't regret coming.Parking: They have like 2 parking lots. If you don't find a spot go to the other side. Or use the street.“
“I can't say enough about how amazing Francis is! Outstanding food and drinks! They have the BEST Spicy Margarita that I have EVER had! Their drink menu has so many cool and unique cocktails that are different from any I have had before. Then there is the food...I literally think about the Chicken Sandwich daily. My daughter went 3 times the first week they were open, and continues to go weekly! There isn't an item in the menu that I've tried that is anything less than AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend everyone tries it! You definitely do NOT need to be a vegan to love this food. Trust me, TRY IT! You'll love it and will ABSOLUTELY be back for more!Vegetarian options: The entire menu, including drinks, is vegan. No meat or dairy products, so perfectly suitable for vegetarians!“

“We eat a lot of South Asian food, and Spice & Tonic has some of the best we’ve had in the Twin Cities area! The tandoori chicken was delicious and exceptionally moist, while the chicken curry was flavorful. Plus, the prices were reasonable. Inside, the decor was lovely and the staff friendly and fast. We highly recommend it!“
“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“
“I got the 60/40 burger rare and chicken tenders with a hot dry rub, and it was cooked to my liking. I also got a Moscow Mule, it was okay, but nothing to write home about.Parking: There's a free parking lot but it doesn't have a lot of stalls. I had to park 2 blocks away and walk over. It wasn't a big deal but it would be less than ideal in the winter.“
“We have been to Pints & Paddle several times since it has opened and tonight we hosted a large group of clients & friends, most who have never been there. We went for trivia with Trivia Mafia and it was so much fun. Great food, great service (Spencer in the kitchen was awesome and very accommodating to a couple special needs we had with our group). The staff is excellent and so friendly - ALWAYS. Trivia was excellent as always! Great addition to Maple Grove!“
“I can't believe Ive lived a few doors down from this gem and never tried their food until tonight! It was absolutely outstanding! We ordered southwest burgers and they were so juicy and obviously made fresh to order. We will be going back to try more things! Highly recommend!“
“From the moment I reserved for a large group (8) here we were taken care of! 10/10 customer service from booking to finishing our meal. Our waitress even split appetizers on the checks and was perfect for providing the best experience possible.Food was ok, just wish there were more offerings. Very greasy cuban but Brussel sprouts were amazing and had a decent amount. The violet drink was pretty good but others at the table didn't think their drinks were strong/tasted like straight up juice.Vibe was great!“
“Absolutely phenomenal food and experience. Our server Louis was beyond amazing as he took the time to explain the dishes, cocktails, and so much more. Hat's off!Speaking of dishes, the bison tartare was increibly good, but we were blown away by the flavor of the duck ragu in the Torchietti. We had it made gluten-free to accommodate my wife's dietary needs, and the pasta was still delicious! We didn't stop there, adding an order of the pork chop for me and Alaskan halibut for my wife. The flavor profile on the pork chop dish was insanely big, bold, and wonderful. It was such a contrast to the halibut, which was also wonderful but much more delicate. Both were great. We were stuffed. There was no room for dessert, but since we had let it be known we were out celebrating a special event, we were not to leave without a wonderful little celebration treat. It was much appreciated!Our seating was at the Chef's Counter, and it couldn't have been more perfect. It gave us witness to all the incredible work going on in the kitchen as well as all the dishes that were getting prepped. TheDietary restrictions: My wife is gluten-free, and not only do they accommodate this with some of their dishes they go above and beyond to communicate between the waiter and kitchen about the dietary needs. This shows up starting with bread basket modifications, moves into extra tasting bites supplied to us from the head chef, and follows through to all our entrees and special desserts. Phenomenal staff coordination and cooperation.“
“The best Ethiopian food and service I've had so far in the Twin Cities and I've been here almost ten years. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Very flavorful vegetarian optionsParking: It's a big parking lot in the backKid-friendliness: Family friendly“
“Great little find. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the drinks and alcohol they are serving. They even have a selection of spirit free drinks that taste amazing! As a person who does not drink, it is great to find a place that actually makes true cocktails without spirits. Will be back.“
“My husband and I took our daughters out for dinner. Nightingale is a lovely restaurant with a bar in the middle. We started with deviled eggs, mushroom bruschetta and french fries. For entrées, we had the Meyer lemon risotto, hangersteak, scallops, and sunchoke soup. I didn't think the french fries were that good and my husband said the lemon risotto was not that great either but everything else was delicious. Service was excellent.“
“I love the ambiance at this place. It's great for both date nights and/or group fine dining experience. My favorite is their Salsa sampler/flight. Food and drinks are a bit on the pricey side but I'd say it's pretty worth it. Great service too.“
“Love everything about this place! Our server was amazing, very knowledgeable, and had great suggestions - thank you, Tyler! Every dish we had was an explosion of flavor and textures. Everything balanced and complimented each, yet stood out on its own... So incredibly hard to accomplish ??. The atmosphere was beautiful and elevated but not stuffy. This was the perfect date night for anyone who loves bold flavors and something different. We'll be back, for sure.“
“Great viewing experience, excellent screen quality. The seating is still pretty comfortable even though it's an older style. My only complaint is that they don't have more people working as far as popcorn and so on. The girls working did a wonderful job and went as fast as they could. But The line is always so long that you end up missing part of the movie.“
“This was my first visit there but not my last!! I found the check in process very professional. The staff very friendly and attentive to the needs of the dogs. The bar and cafe offer delicious food and drinks.I was extremely pleased!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dog-friendliness: The staff is right there if there's any potty issues or rough play!!!!!Picnic area: The outdoor area is awesome.Can't wait to return and have the fire pit burning!!!!!!!“
“I was planning a bachelor party and looked up top rated gentleman’s clubs in downtown Minneapolis. Ricks was the first club to pop up, so we made a reservation and decided to try it out. WOW!!!The service was top notch.The girls were on a different level.I felt like a VIP from start to finish.Truly an unreal experience and I will be back but this time without all the boys ?. What an awesome experience!“
“Over 2 dozen well maintained pinball options with a hot dog menu (vegan options) and full bar with craft beer. Awesome service and friendly bartenders that kept smiling until bar close. The Godzilla machine is the LE with the collapsible building and is a must play; other popular machines included Game of Thrones, Stranger Things and Deadpool. Games are only $.50! Sure wish this pub were closer.“
“They don't have sour beers ? Food and service is great. Has a neighborhood feel to it. I would love to see a beer menu instead of trying to see what taps they have from across the bar. Very nice selection on the menu.Wouldn't call myself a regular but here at least twice a month and would recommend it to others.“
“Awesome place! Cool, upscale vibes yet we still felt comfortable in jeans and casual clothes. The menu had a nice variety of items - our server recommended a few things that we enjoyed (except one).My daughter and I shared the prosciutto and burrata pizza - sooooo delicious! It was a little heavy on the arugula for our taste, but once we removed some of that it was a delicious pie! My daughter said it may have been one of her favorites ever! We also shared a Caesar salad - standard. My husband really enjoyed the skillet lasagna, but the portion was actually on the small side. Our only slight disappointment was the Philly sandwich. The menu didn’t have a description, so her only ask was no onions. When it arrived it was like loose meat with a bland orange cheese on top, in a standard hoagie roll. Not a ton of flavor. She had the garlic mashed as a side and it also left her feeling meh - not a ton of flavor and the texture almost felt like instant potatoes? Weird.Our server was really great and fun,We would definitely return if we’re in the area again - maybe to try a few other pizzas!“
“We’ve been here several times and it’s always excellent but this time was even better. JoJo, our server had great recommendations. The oysters were perfect, entrees were delicious as always, and the sticky toffee cake put it over the top along with the China China Amaro that JoJo recommended. Thank you to all who work so hard to continue to make Red Rabbit so excellent in the North Loop.“
“Great place for live music. Small main floor area with a balcony on all three sides. Sound system was very clean and the volume was not over-powering. Staff were all friendly. Drinks were good. Small food menu with decent burgers. Would definitely go back for more music! Parking is a little tricky. The instructions and app required for the ramp had several people confused. But that's not The Green Rooms fault!“
“best place in the twin cities. I remember when there was only beer and wine behind the bar and they sold single cigarettes. Dinner was a baguette and a roasted bulb of garlic and a bottle of wine. theater in the back with story tellers and fringe artists that kept this transplanted nyer here in the twin cities for 30 years.“
“The blues music dive bar of Minneapolis! Good bar food, great service, friendly patrons. Have had some pretty grumpy bartenders in the past (YEARS ago) but no bad experience now. The renovations are great - feels more open and brighter inside.I'm a huge fan of bar "pork tenderloin" sandwiches and couldn't resist ordering one during my last visit. It was really just a deep fried pork chop on a bun. Very delicious but not an actual pork tenderloin.Note: it is very loud when the band plays, do not go for a date night and expect to carry a conversation.NA option: Heineken 0.0“

“The ambiance is warm and welcoming. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They can describe drinks and make suggestions based on your preferences. There is variety in their food and drink menus. Delicious appetizers and pizzas. Girlfriends went to celebrate one of our birthdays- the server came with a round of mini cocktails for us to toast the birthday girl. Fun night, will be back.“
“Just ate here on a whim. Wife picked it from a huge list on google. They did not disappoint. Order the fried chicken. You won’t be sorry. I also had burnt ends. Prolly the best I’ve ever had. Sticky toffee pudding and banana Creme pie for dessert. This place was off the chain. Great food great atmosphere great service. Will be back soon. I’m kinda of mad at myself for not ordering another sticky toffee pudding to take with me. 200 stars. Thanks for a great meal“
“Cultivated skill of fine dining meets dive bar. Bull’s Horn is something in between. Reasonably priced for dishes created by a culinary chef who makes his very own house made bologna and cheeses. His subtle cooking techniques results in extraordinary taste and texture that the unrefined tastebud may miss. Great food coupled with great service drove my family to stop here twice during our weekend trip to Minneapolis. Here are our must tries: Cheese Curd: Lightly battered and geniusly paired with thousand island dressing which breaks up the acidity of the cheese and brings out the rich creamy cheese flavor. Bologna Sandwich: Not from your childhood! This homemade recipe marries a blend of spices that makes your tastebuds dance. Lightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside…assembled with homemade American cheese, a slice of crisp white onion on toasted white bread… the best I’ve had in my life! Chicken Gizzards: Technique, technique, technique. I can only wonder the effort and preparation on the front end that makes these gizzards so, so tender. Lightly battered and minimal frying time leave these gizzard with a “cut with a folk” and “melt in your mouth” texture that I have never experienced before.“
“You walk in into a small yet inviting waiting area with a small bar. If you got the pre drink package, you get a small menu of crafted cocktails or you can ask the bartender to make your own. After your introductory drink, they take you to the dining area which is a U shaped are with the kitchen in the center. You get an amazing experience from start to finish with 7 to 11 courses; you won't leave hungry. The wine pairing is carefully selected for a perfect match to each dish. The food is TOP NOTCH. They way the flavors come together in your pallet is really an experience you need to have for yourself.“
“I recently hosted a fundraiser in the new private party room and it was a huge success! The staff is so professional and helpful. They went out of their way to be accommodating to us. I’d highly recommend them to anyone planning a party or an event.“
“Omg this is a must do!!! They have an Italian Giglio feature right now that is just so awesome. We booked a reservation about a month out which you have to do as it books out quick! You do need to pay in advance which I don't love but also makes sense and makes it easier at the end of the night. We were in the upper part of the restaurant and we just had a blast. Not only was the food fabulous, the service is quick, witty and top notch plus they have events and small moments throughout the evening to make it fun. We did trivia during dinner but they also had music playing and interactive food stations. For this feature the mozzarella and cacio e Pepe from the cheese wheels are to die for. I wanted to eat just that for my entire meal! Highly highly recommend.“
“Food and service is phenomenal. Usually they have someplace to sit, but I recommend making reservations since sometimes they can get busy and don't have any seating available. I also like to sit in the separate dining area and the reservation guarantees I will get to sit there.The wings are some of the best I have had. Especially the Wing of the Moment. They are not afraid to bring some heat so be prepared for that! Fantastic burgers as well. They also make a great Reuben!The Becky from Philly was my favorite sandwich here - Please bring it back!!!Parking: Parking lot is right next to residential housing. Please be courteous and keep the noise down going to/from you vehicle.“
“My expectations were probably too high walking in. The food was good, not as outstanding or as interesting as I would have thought. The grilled sea salt oyster on the way in was tasty. They brought us well prepared chicken, some sushi small bite, and other things I can't remember a month later that were enjoyable. The cake was dry and not worth the calories (or cost). The dietary restriction I indicated was missed but they were able to adjust in the moment. The atmosphere was lovely upstairs. We ate in the covered outdoor area at a shared table.“
“Super fun bar and bowling alley! We came here with a couple of friends on a Thursday night to hit the lanes and grab some dinner. Food was decent, pretty standard bar fare. Service was a little slow, but it was packed so that might not be the norm. It was great that you can put your name on the list for Bowling while having dinner. It speeds up the process.Bowling prices are great! I like that it’s per person per game and not timed like a lot of Alleys are doing these days.“
“My wife and I came in on Monday before a show at the Fillmore. We had happy hour drinks and appetizers, along with entrees and dessert. Everything was wonderful. Hannah was great and if I remember correctly, Christian was the bartender. He made us very well balanced cocktails for 3 hours. My last drink was the chili rum punch. I pulled Hannah aside to get the ratios for the cocktail it was that good. I was taken back when she said it wasn't as popular as some of the other cocktails. That's a perfect patio cocktail and one that I'll try to recreate with my staff for this spring/summer. The only thing I will reccomend or suggest and it's maybe just a preference. For the crab cake appetizer, instead of placing the crab cake on top of the jalapeno tartar sauce,(which was delicious). Think about placing the sauce on the side and not underneath. It just seemed like there was way more tartar than needed. But like I previously stated, could just be my preference.“
“First time there last night. Was told it was a 15-20 minute wait, no problem as I was waiting for my friend, it was FIVE minutes! Our server was nice & attentive. We enjoyed Happy Hour and had a fun night. Will definitely be back again!“

“I eat here a lot, and I love the food, prices, and service. I have an account, so I often get free food using the loyalty points. They have great vegan options as well.Vegetarian options: Falafel or quinoa can be substituted for any of the meals. They also have vegan options.“
“A beautiful venue with unique drinks, but our experience was exceptional thanks to our server Hailey J. She was so professional, recommended drinks specific to our likes, and took the time to get to know us. We will definitely be back because of this!“
“We recently “discovered” this long-time local favorite in Northeast Minneapolis. It’s the first dog-friendly restaurant we’ve been to. Dogs - and other pets - are welcome, and they even have a dog menu. They also have the most impressive urinals I’ve seen. ?“
“This restaurant is great. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful with our questions. The atmosphere is great! They have 3 levels in their restaurant including a speakeasy style atmosphere in the basement. The food was delicious, bringing french inspired options to the area in a fresh way.“
“Great place that's kid friendly and has 2 patios (front and back) that are both dog friendly. Good food, top notch service, great cocktails. The chicken and wild rice pot pie was a novel, yet obvious take on an old favorite. Of course those flavors go together. Can't believe it's not more common, but that's what's great about this place, they take familiar dishes and class them up. Really loved their cocktail options too. Will have to go back and try more because I was between a couple options. The blackberry sour was refreshing and had a hint of sweet to balance the tartness. Service was top notch, probably the best you'll get anywhere. Will definitely be back.Parking: There's a large parking lot that wraps around the restaurant. The back patio is in the parking lot. There's also street parking all around the lot, so if you can't find a spot in the lot, there are other options.Kid-friendliness: There were a lot more options for kids than on a standard kids menu and they had whole milk for littles. Their highchairs are better than most too with all the straps, etc. They give you crayons and the kids menu can be drawn on. Servers were good about putting food and drinks out of reach of babies and warning you about hot things. If you're looking for a family friendly meal out, this place has you covered.“
“Well let me tell you ...since I have been a level 8 Google reviewer (in my Fraser Crane voice) I take my reviews very seriously. So when I say this resrurant has the best service I have had in many years I am not exaggerating. Our server Randy went above and beyond to make our 1st experience the best. Explain the menu to a tee and recommended some great options. We had the pork chop and the rigatoni boleneas. Ohhh and we also had the sticky ribs do t miss out on those. They also give hot towels with lemon spritz on them...nice! Very clean ...food came out on time...the place ran like clock work. We will be back for sure !!!“
“In love with the vibe of this place, it is dark and rustic with light wood, velvet upholstered seating, and minimal decor. The feel is a bit pretentious, but not off putting in my opinion. The food is mostly small bites and a couple sandwiches, and the wine and drinks menu is fairly priced and thoughtful.I got the olives and pickled vegetables, and the eggplant red pepper dip with crudités. The picked veg was great- crunchy carrots, cauliflower and other veg pickled to vinegary perfection. The olives were big meaty Castlevetrano olives. For me things went downhill with the dip and vegetables. The dip was sweet and spicy, but the assortment of vegetables was not my cup of tea. I didn’t touch the celery or the green onion (was I supposed to eat that on its own..?) The cooked mushrooms were good and the quality of the vegetables were great, but I should’ve asked what veg was included before ordering. Also, a bit of bread included with this would be a nice addition, without needing to order it separate and pay extra.The apricot old fashioned was okay- a tad sweet up front and bitter on the end. I was happy with it but it is on the sweeter side.Overall I did enjoy Dutch Bar. 2 small plates and 2 drinks were about $50 and they do add a hospitality service fee, but such is the current climate when dining out.I will also mention there was a strong smoky cooking smell in the place. However, I am eager to visit again and try out a few other items!“
“Whiskey was fantastic, and I didn't think it was overpriced, as many have claimed. It's the same at any other whiskey or scotch bar, and Gori even allows you to do half pours, which is very nice. Aside from straight whiskey, the Old Fashion was one of the best I've had, very unique and balanced. They do add an extra 20% charge, but they didn't even give us the option of tipping, so that's your tip. Environment is very small but wonderful. I would live there if I were rich.“
“Jimmy's is the epitome of a neighborhood bar. Food is available, but it's certainly a drinking establishment. Bartenders who know their stuff and talk to both regulars and newbies on their downtime. Order their famous cocktail: the Bullfrog!“
“This is a neighborhood staple that I’ve been enjoying ever since I moved here. Great food with a changing specials menu and affordable drinks! Plus tons of history. The bartender Connie is the best and knows everyone by name. Even the bus boy (Andy?) is always keeping the space clean and inviting. It’s a must in the Old Town area!“
“Had dinner at Kona Grill - Minnetonka last night and was pleasantly surprised by their late hours, open till midnight! They even offer a late-night happy hour. The sushi was decent, akin to what you'd expect from a mall location, as it's situated in Ridgedale Center. The service was top-notch - our server was both friendly and attentive. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the aquariums, adding a unique charm to the dining experience. A solid choice for a late evening out!“
“A couple of friends and I enjoyed a few drinks last Friday. The bartenders, Joe and Charlie, were more than accommodating and made all of us newcomers feel very welcome. Although it’s cash only, the prices are very fair and we look forward to going back. Thank you!“
“AMAZING! My boyfriend & I had brunch here & were shocked to realize that this place had been just down the street for months & we had no idea, which is nuts because the food was AWESOME. Great atmosphere with cool artwork. Super delicious. I had the Ethiopian sampler & my boyfriend had the breakfast burrito. Both were outstanding. The drip coffee was great too! This is a great addition to the Seward neighborhood & I hope more people check this place out, because this restaurants needs to stay put!!!“
“Every table was full at lunchtime on a Friday and I'm not surprised. The food and service were outstanding.I had a Founders porter and a DJ burger (customized). They let me special order to turn that DJ burger into a Plaza burger a la Annie's in Dinkytown - that's sourcream, raw onion, and pumpernickel. It was delicious, memorable! The porter paired perfectly with the burger. I got fries and they were great too. The place was full but our service was very good. The prices were even reasonable, $13 +/- for a sandwich.“
“I had their food when it was catered for a work event. Absolutely phenomenal!!! I went back today to order on my own. I got the ribeye sandwich. mac n cheese and loaded chips.Sandwich -- AMAZING!!! Small, but also a decent piece of steak, so you kind of have to expect that. I'd definitely order it again!!!Loaded chips -- not so good. See pic.Mac n cheese -- just ok. I'm really, really picky about Mac n cheese. My fav is whalburgers. Most people will love this!Can't wait to go back and try other things. Have to say.. the owner is just a delightful person and the product is VERY good. Try the green goddess dressing. You won't regret it!!!“
