I had a mushroom swiss burger at Nighthawk's tonight, and it was great. I told my wife that it might be the best burger I've had in South Minneapolis.
Nighthawk's is a classy, laid back, neighborhood bar with great food, and a nice beer selection.
Their prices are reasonable too.

We had relatives in town and ate at restaurants regularly so we were able to do some comparative analysis whether we wanted to or not. All of the restaurants we visited were fully staffed until we arrived at Nighthawks. Reading through other less than positive reviews here I noticed that a primary complaint is waiting a nearly preposterous amount of time to order and receive food. This was also our experience - our server was delightful but it is not possible to cover a space that size with one server and two cooks. 4 people: we arrived at 6:30 and departed at 8:30. The food was quite good when it finally arrived but it isn't an experience we will be looking to repeat.

Great location, good food. Felt like a fancier neighborhood bar. Great NA cocktails and also Guinness on tap! My go to is always a Reuben - Nighthawks has a Reuben to try. The bread/sauerkraut/meat ratio is perfect but the pastrami was a bit overpowered with salt. The mussels were amazing - I'd drink the sauce with a straw! Brussel sprouts were tasty but not the biggest fan of the added cheese. The burgers are HUGE!! And messy but tasty. All in all it was worth the trip for a date night.

This spot never fails for a place to meet for happy hour, dinner or brunch. We had the Brussels, Cobb Salad and N/A Blood Orange Buck, which was so good!

I met a friend here for happy hour apps/drinks and it was a wonderful time! We sat at the bar for a bit and then moved to the patio and it was very pleasant in both spaces! We came at a time where it wasn’t as busy, so that helped with moving around where we preferred! Ordered some cheese curds and (loaded??) French fries which both were delicious. The staff were super kind and attentive! Would come again for happy hour so quick!

For the first time they closed for a private party and they did a fantastic job. The drink menu and execution were absolutely superb. The staff was friendly efficient; the bartender deserves a medal! The food buffet was fantastic, especially the sliders, mac&cheese, and fries.
We ordered truffle fries and a Reuben for take out. Fries were undercooked and definitely only regular fries. Reuben was marginal, bread was soggy and couldn’t find any sauerkraut. First time experience, most likely not return!

I think this was the best vegan black bean burger I've ever had!

The Ruben smelled awful and tasted even worse. Took one bite and instant regret. Do not recommend.

Love this place. So cool inside. The food is blazing fiyah, and Corinna is the best. The kitchen is the best, pay the chefs more. Seriously! We are paying $3 extra for a non-meat burger for no other reason than, because, so since we are paying you all. A raise for the kitchen just because, please pay your chefs more. And your servers. Pay everyone a little more. A raise for everyone! It is only fair. You took one at our expense. They are making it so we come back. PAY RAISE ASAP!!! 😁 Just for the record, this place is amazing. The food, the service, and the atmosphere is great. I am going to bring my mother here because it is such a cool place. And a $9 hot apple cider, sorry, we did not order. Wanted to, but $9 for 10 oz.??? I will order next time if the owners give everyone a raise. Deal? 😁
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian menu options great. Vegetarian food great. Prices for vegetarian food are harsh. Idk why.
Surprisingly good food.
