“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“

“I only go a few times a year but love this place for both music & great food. Best place in town to see your favorite artist up close in a comfortable setting. Saw an amazing Graham Nash show about a year ago & John Hiatt last night. Superb setting. The crowd is passionate music fans but respectful of each other and the artist too. Highly rec! We're food & wine fans too and the food and service are top tier in Minneapolis.“

“This has been a go-to of mine for years, both dine-in and takeout, and it's not once resulted in a bad meal. But here's what gets them a 6th star out of 5: they are the only establishment I've ever found that deals with tipping the way restaurants should—the menu announces that "tipping is not expected" and there is no service fee either. The menu prices are just what they need to be for staff to be given proper wages and benefits.“

“We had the huevos rancheros bowl and the arroz con pollo bowl and a piece of cornbread. These items were both well-seasoned, and filling. I want to try the catfish bowl next time.

The service-included pricing is very refreshing. The atmosphere was worthy of a date night. The sidewalk seating is a nice asset as well.“

“Always enjoy the juicy chicken tenders from Nashville Coop. First time visiting their food truck since 2020. Still as good as I remember with the same quality as their brick and mortar locations. All kinds of spicy levels are covered here so it’s something everyone can enjoy. So far I’ve tried MN Nice, Mini Coop, Coop, and Growlin’, all solid choices depending on my mood. The Texas toast, dipping sauce, fries, and pickles all elevate the chicken tenders.“

“Brasa is the go-to place for flavorful comfort food. I've been ordering the same roast pork bowl for a while, and it never gets old.
I recently had an experience where I ordered delivery from a 3rd party and part of my order was missing. While the multimillion dollar 3rd party company stated there was nothing they could do, I called the restaurant and talked to the Brasa staff. Not only were they incredibly understanding, but they went the extra mile and had a member of staff deliver a replacement meal *and* some treats right away!
No matter what you order here, you're going to have a great flavor AND customer service experience.“
