14 Best Seafood Restaurants in Minneapolis

“Often, lovely food cooked simply can be the best. That was my experience at Chilango. Fish tacos with a side of charred peppers and onions plus a side of red rice. Staff are trying really hard. Give ‘em a chance.
They have a great mezcal selection too!“

“Excellent service. Clean atmosphere. Had amazing fajitas, beans and rice. Homemade chips and salsa were divine. Pisco Sour was AMAZING! Don’t forget the Tres leches !!“

“Great service and the food is excellent as always! My granddaughter loved the egg rolls.“

“good foods and friendly staff.“

“Vegan family visiting Minneapolis and googled best Chinese in the area and Shuang Cheng popped up! Omg they did not disappoint. Food was delicious and staff were friendly. It was so good we went back twice during our stay. A must try if you are looking for yummy Chinese food!“

“It's so good. SO GOOD. The catfish is perfection and the chicken is seasoned beautifully.“

“Came here for lunch on the recommendation from my hotel’s bartender (shout out to Vitaly at The Marquette!). Arrived a little after 11am, it was very quiet/empty which was great. Received amazing service from Ashlee. Had a 801 Martini, Cajun Oysters and the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich, and well were very delicious and are well recommended. My colleague had the Lobster roll and it looked amazing!! Looking forward to coming back!

I had dinner at Manny’s Steakhouse, which was very nice, great staff and environment. But 801 fish also has a steakhouse restaurant nearby, which I am looking forward to trying next time.“

“Everything is good the wings and fried rice is the best the fish is crispy and fresh the fries are just the way I like them they are the best and the price is right it won't break the bank loe love it been going to seafood to go for as long as I been in MN and that's for 30 years they only gets better“

“We stopped here on December 24th looking for fresh lutefisk and were pleased to find we could buy a 5lb filet. The lutefisk was amazing I was told and in the future we will be sure to call ahead and place the order. The manager was running back and forth with several options before we decided to just buy the 5lb filet. I can say I was amazed, they cooked it in the oven and when I returned that evening I could hardly smell anything other than the usual air fresheners we have in the house.

So thanks again for helping keep a Christmas tradition alive and hope the girls hockey team does great.“

“My husband had gotten off work and it was almost closing. I hate doing that but I was starving. We got food that was awesome and the gentleman taking our order was very awesome and helpful and the place was very clean and very comfortable! Best wings and cat fish I've had for a long time! Great job guys! Thanks so much!!“

“We stumbled upon "Barwaqo" as it's now called when we were headed to the Electric Fetus for a book signing event; apparently this place changed hands about a month ago (Oct 2023) so previous reviews under the old Cala name are not relevant. We felt very welcomed by the owner and staff, and had an amazing dinner of Somali chicken and rice, sambusa, and the spinach dish which game with roasted goat and a fava bean soup with glutinous rice cakes. Everything was fresh and delicious and obviously made with a lot of care, and all of the food we got only came to about $45. We were thrilled to have randomly taken a chance on an unknown place and we will go back in the future. When we talked to the owner outside afterwards, I asked one of the staff what "barwaqo" means in Somali and he said "gift" but when I looked it up, it means "prosperity." Take a chance on this place at the corner of Clinton/Franklin instead of the Wendy's across the street!“

“I’m so happy Deluxe Plaza went with this food vendor and they were able to move in and take over. This restaurant is my daily go to for employee group food and daily lunch. Reasonably priced and amazing service. Each employee like Ahmed greets you with kindness and care while serving great food. I recommend it to everyone.“

“Outstanding food and service! It's the best place to go for Jambalaya and Lobster Rolls! Prices are a little higher, but moderate as far as North Loop restaurants go. Great outdoor seating and a perfect place to hook up with friends for the lobster / guacamole with chips!“
