“Back at JJs, the neighborhood dive! We came in for an easy Friday night dinner and made it just in time for the late night happy hour. We ordered a build your own pizza and the real winner- the loaded sweet potatoes. As always, they were slammed packed but service was still attentive. Will be back! This is a great neighborhood spot and pretty decent prices“
“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!“
“Served family-style, we thoroughly enjoyed mushroom masala, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, peshawari naan, and a mango lassi to drink. Service was absolutely great. Vibe is casual and cozy - a great place to dine with friends over great conversation. We had plenty of leftovers. Highly recommend. ? I dined with my teenage daughter.“
“I recently visited Lake and Irving for dinner before a concert. Nate our server was amazing. He was attentive to the table's needs and gave great recommendations. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality were amazing. I'll be making it a point to come back.“
“We stopped for dinner on a Thursday night. We sat at the bar. The place was already staring to fill up and it was 5:30 pm. Bartender was very friendly and we ordered our drinks. We ordered food-Double Barrel Burger and chicken wrap. Both were fantastic. I have grown to love smash burgers and the special sauce was fantastic. Also ordered sweet potato planks. Would definitely recommend.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“The pasta is rspecially amazing. Would definitely recommend ordering a small to share. The duck ragu pasta was out of this world. Service was exceptional- freah silverware with each course, and they lightly wiped down the table after each course. Great atmosphere for conversation, not loud, but still lively.“
“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 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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Throw back to an earlier time! This place is fun for every age. People who grew up in the age of arcades are in for some fun nostalgia, and the kids love the new experience, too! Service is great, and the food is your average bar food. All in all, it was a fun night.“
“Seafood or chicken. We chose chicken. Glad we did. Revival....never been. End result......going again. We had the chicken plate. 'tizer of the best GD cheese curds ever. ( I'm from MN, That's saying something.) Mashed potatoes were awesome. Something added to them, don't know but very tasty. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. I went mild but the hot version looked and smelled out of this world. EMMA our server and the staff supporting her were top notch. They had $5 bottles of the Champagne of beers. St. Paul cartoon bear tall boys for $7Parking: Parking lot is on north side of building. Parking for 10 maybe. Parking on Nicollet Ave was open. If you're coming from NE, take the #11 bus. Stops right in front.“
“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!“
“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!“
“It's a bowling alley... It's a restaurant... It's a little theater that has live performances... But most of all, it's a fun place to hang out with family and friends! Food is actually really good and the people who work there are warm, inclusive, and all around good peeps.“
“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“
“I've come to Earl Giles a few times and the interior has always blown me away. I love the combination of greenery and urban influence. Service is usually fine, sometimes it's a little slower than I'd like but that's usually only if it's super busy. The servers I have had were always polite though so it was never an issue. They have fun drinks and great menu staples. If you like mushrooms then I recommend you get "A Good Trip" pizza - it is phenomenal!“
“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.“
“Great Minnesota classic dive bar with excellent vibes, chill but attentive service, music was just the right volume and cool tunes to boot. We all got burgers with cheese and fries, buffalo wings to share, a pitcher of beer. Beer was cold. Burgers were tasty. Salty, messy, and great pickles. I thought the meat was a little dry though and the price point (after adding cheese and fries) is little high but finding a burger with cheese and fries for less than $15 is hard these days! The fries were incredible. The wings were unexpected. The sauce a touch sweet, maybe a little citrusy? I really liked it. The sauce was piled high with fresh blue cheese and was creamy and herbaceous. I'll be back again for sure. Gotta give that bucket of chicken a try.Vegetarian options: Veggie patty made in house to swap in for any burger. Also a mushroom melt, deviled eggs, and nachos.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options or swapsKid-friendliness: Very family friendly. Both in vibe and meal options.“
“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.“
“Ate here with my son for the first time and had the Cajun rubbed wings. These are heavily breaded btw (super yummy if u like that, I love grilled and thought it was that because I was hangry lol) my son got the juicy Lucy or something but omg it looked ah-mazing and I rarely eat ?!!??? loved the staff, loved my server, saucy blond minx who is also a bar-tendress, and was a hoot n’ a half☺️✨ I will be back! Normally I just walk by as I walk my dog with my cigar in hand and smile at the joyous vibe that creeps out onto the street outside. That’s a great restaurant when you have that going on.☘️??? Walkability: If you have to park up near davannis or the mortuary it’s a short walk.Food & drinks: The servers and bartenders were shaking and making and giggling with regulars. I loved it. just ask them what’s good or look (or sniff lol) and they will tell you. It’s easy to see that nothing looked short of rockstar!“
“Best place to eat in Maple Grove! Consistently great food and service! They recently added Birria tacos to the menu, those may be the best thing I have ever tasted anywhere! Somehow Malones is connected to Pints and Paddles, limited menu there but still great food!“
“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!!!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Dined at Stanley’s before a Timberwolves game and had a decent experience. Service was simple and to the point, so it wasn’t anything special. Ordered boneless wings that came out steaming but we didn’t receive happy hour pricing despite being there well before happy hour ended. Diet Pepsi was lacking syrup so tasted a bit stale or flat. Overall I would give them another visit but wouldn’t expect anything above average!Parking: Small lot connected onto building, probably 10-12 slots. Additional overflow parking is available across the street.“
“Great downtown spot with a solid menu. Equally good experience in either the bar area or the restaurant. Our table had one pizza, one chicken Parmesan, and a grinder... Good all around.Parking: On street paid parking and paid parking ramps“
“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.“
“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!“
“We had the pleasure of Josh serving our table tonight. The food was wonderful he was very attentive! We will definitively be back when we are over in Eden Prairie again!Dietary restrictions: They ask you right away if you have an allergy we did not but I thought that was so kind as my daughter is allergic to nuts!“
“Volstead's is a fun place with great drinks, great music, and delicious food. However, the entree portions are very small for the price. The market fish entree for $22 included maybe 4oz of fish and maybe a quarter cup of rice pilaf. The cornbread for $14 was about 7 inches in diameter. The server was slow to refill waters and run food. Go for drinks and the music, but eat dinner first.“
“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 !!!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“This place is so cool. My friends and I are able to play classic console games and modern console games in a chill environment with great food and drinks. They also have open tournaments for smash bros and other fighters. The staff is amazing, super friendly.Parking: At MOA, no issues finding parkingKid-friendliness: This place is great for kids and adults. Parents will love being able to share gaming with their kidsWheelchair accessibility: Location has an elevator“
“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.“
“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!!!“
“Service is always fantastic and the bartenders take great care of us each time we visit! Food always comes out within minutes, the fastest I’ve ever experienced!Dietary restrictions: Services always accommodate my gluten and dairy allergy!“
“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.“
“First time here. Didn't even know where it was, hidden from the main roads. Dive bar atmosphere but I love dive bars. Nice menu selections. Pretty good beer selection. I had fish tacos, which isn't really a dive bar pick, but they were great. One of the people at our table had the chicken pot pie and it looked fabulous. Great server. I'm coming back here now that I know where it is. Hidden gem.“
