“Hoppin John Salad extra cornbread“

“My wife and I had the pleasure of eating here last night, and it was simply delightful. Our server was friendly, attentive, and had a great depth of knowledge about both the main menu as well as the cocktail list. It felt like she was a brand-new dear friend and truly cared about our evening. We started with The Board, their more elegant version of charcuterie. The meats were excellent, but the real treat is the cheeses. Each offering was different enough that they showcased different aspects of the meat, sometimes drawing out the savory, other times the sweet. it was absolutely fantastic. My wife had the Big Mick burger, and declared it a winner. I opted for the reuben. I confess, I'm a complete reuben snob. Theirs is easily the best in the Twin Cities. It is perfection on a plate. I also swapped out the fries and tried the crab chowder. My only regret for the entire night was only getting a cup instead of a bowl. When the time comes for my last meal, I'm getting this soup. Check them out soon, before they're booked out weeks in advance!“

“Yummm! Ordered salads, a burger, and the butternut squash ravioli. 🤌 A lot of food. The cider mocktail was a bit disappointing, tasted a lit like giner beer and lemon juice and not much else. Ordered the Lake Elmo speciality dessert and it wasnt our favorite, but it was fun to try.“

“Absolutely amazing. Excellent service, excellent food, and fantastic cocktails“

“Let me start by saying I love this place, but I've got some gripes. Horrendous bouncers. The bouncer on 11/8/24 was horrible. I didn't catch her name, but she had no business working her position. After waiting in line outside to check in for the concert, I decided to get a beer at the main bar, when I got inside. Upon returning to the line, she said we had to wait until all other guests got through, despite us interacting with her in the line, and already waiting our turn. Upon talking with other concert goers, we weren't the only ones she screwed. Plenty of other people were told to go back in the line they already waited in, and plenty of people missed a show they paid for. I missed 80% of the show I paid to see due to her not letting me in. Yall can do better, I know you can. I frequent this venue for concerts a lot, and this night was the worst.“

“rival house cheeseburger absolutely 🔥📛👨‍🚒🚒 perfect balance of spices my goodness!!“

“I have been wanting to go here for years ever since Mendoberri closed. We came here for a work holiday party for about 20 people. Food was delicious and unique (and lots of vegetarian options), cozy vibe, wonderful drinks & great service! I plan on coming back soon and would highly recommend!p“

“I had the smoked pork taco, loaded brussel sprouts, and the key lime pie. All of it was delicious, and the key lime pie was definitely top notch. Excellent service, crisp clean beer lines, and nice atmosphere too. I'm instantly a fan of the Wildwood tavern, this is a great spot to visit.“

“great food, great employees nice atmosphere“

“Never disappoints. Super friendly staff, great beer/cider selection, and amazing food. The Pulled Pork Sandwich is top notch every time!

Edit: They’ve taken all of my favs off the menu, a huge bummer! Sadly I’m dropping this review down to a 4/5. If they come around to restoring their best items, I’ll gladly bump it back to 5.

Edit 2: They brought my prized Pulled Pork Sandwich back, and I swear it tastes better than it ever did. Practically inhaled the thing. You’ve earned your 5th star back. Please never remove that delicious sandwich again!

Edit 3: My precious Pulled Pork Sandwich is gone again! Please, I beseech thee — bring it back! It’s SO GOOD!! I won’t even dock a star this time. Pretty please!!“

“I’ve been there and think it’s pretty freaking good pub burger is the bomb beer cold and clean glasses. Nothing better that a great burger and beer in joint D,D&D’s are spot on. Thanks Guy F.“
