Although they were busy and service took a while, it was worth the wait!! The meat was cooked so perfectly it melts in your mouth.The pollock was so light and crispy.Definitely eager to try again.

This place has great food. I usually get the BBQ chicken bowl, but went for the Mushroom Bliss Burger this time around and it did not disappoint. The fish and chips are another go to and the Reuben of course. The Hushpuppies are the best in MN, I'll argue. And those chicken wings are delightful. The Sweet & Spicy Wings are not to be taken lightly, they are a good heat and will make you pause to sip your drink or eat some fries. Not to be missed though, because they're perfection. The sides are generously portioned with heaps of salad or fries on the side. I've just gotten an appetizer and split the side from someone else's meal before and sometimes that's the way to go. But those fries are so good that you might not want to share lol!Also good are the Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich, the Fried Chicken Sandwich and The Northbound Burger. The patio here is one of the best in the area too, so if you're going when the weather's nice, go early to get a table. They also brew their own beers and have cocktails and mocktails. The N/A mocktails are always spot on. Love the recent blueberry one. Simply delicious.Parking: You might not always be able to get a spot right out front, but there's plenty of parking around the corner or down the street a bit.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and kids cups with lids to keep little ones from spilling as much. The kids menu is generously portioned too.

Good menu and a really cool patio highlighting solar panels. Not sure if I'd give it 5 stars for dinner, but lunch was great. A lot better than the name suggests.

My only guff with this place is the price and portion ratio. Pretty pricey for small portions. I also wouldn’t get a beer here. My can beer was 8 dollars… that’s airport prices. Foods pretty good. Nothing to rave about. I do enjoy the atmosphere.

Lowkey neighborhood spot and the food is so good and the beer too. Our highlights were the fried Alaskan cod, Hugh puppies, and the beet and goat cheese salad. The bowl thing is a healthy and filling option too. Best food in Minneapolis I

Enjoyed Northbound for lunch. We both had a grilled brisket sandwich which tasted good but the meat was very fatty. Our beers were good. Will try again.
