Chad is an exceptional bartender! First, he was friendly upon my arrival. I inquired about a cocktail and he listed several options as my base spirit. He made my cocktail perfectly and so I then felt I could trust his entree recommendations. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Shot out to the kitchen staff! Make sure to tip your wait staff! Thank you Chad!

Stopped here at the recommendation from a TSA agent when I asked about a good burger after being gone for months! It was definitely a better experience than one of the other airport restaurants in MSP I've tried! The panko-fried pickles were also very good, nice and light!

The main reason for the three stars, is that the biscuits and gravy. Now the biscuits were perfect can't get better than that. The gravy however had a bit of a sweet background flavor to it.
No, I grew up in Minnetonka Minnesota boy here. However I spent quite a few years in the military and the military in the southern states and I lived in the south for a long time.
And it's just not quite the sausage gravy that you would find elsewhere around the country if you're going for that. So I don't know if it's too much flower on your recipe or what but you're just about there so I've given about a 6 to 7 out of 10. But there's something in the flavor that's not quite authentic sausage gravy.

It was my first time having a layover at MSP Airport, and I wanted to try something new and local. Stone Arch immediately stood out, so I took a seat at the bar since I was traveling solo. What followed became one of the best airport dining experiences I’ve ever had.
Chad, the magical service professional who assisted me, was genuinely warm and caring. He patiently walked me through the local craft beer selections and thoughtfully introduced the house-made sauces that accompany their signature cheese curds. His knowledge, attentiveness, and sincerity were exceptional.
What touched me most was the way he treated every customer like family. It’s rare to encounter this level of authenticity and kindness in the service industry these days, and our conversation truly made my experience unforgettable.
I even told him that Stone Arch and MSP Airport are incredibly fortunate to have someone like him, because he left me with such a wonderful impression, not only of the restaurant, but of the airport and the state itself.
Thank you, Chad, for being such an outstanding person and for welcoming me so warmly. I will never forget your hospitality, and I sincerely hope your excellence is recognized as it truly deserves. Best wishes to you and Happy Holidays~!

This is not like your typical airport restaurant. The food and service is phenomenal. The meatloaf is firm and drier, and wrapped in bacon so you can dip into the house-blend ketchup. The ketchup has cumin and maybe cinnamon in it. Very delicious and unexpected! The green beans were pleasantly roasted. The mashed potatoes are more like smashed potatoes. They are chunky and textured and flavorful. They come with a brown gravy that is flavorful.
Tried the walleye sandwich on this visit and would order it again. Haven't had anything here that wasn't good. Service was on point as usual.

This was one heck of an airport restaurant. Best one I've ever been to, hands down. Ambiance was very cool. It was part sports bar, part brewery. The portion of it we were seated at was right by the passenger thoroughfare, so we got to people watch like nobody's business. I loved it.
Service was awesome. The server seems to understand the scenario. People wanting to watch some sports while watching their flights getting further and further delayed. Thanks to Delta, I think we were there for like, four hours. Oy vey. Very nice guy. He tended to our every need and we didn't feel rushed one bit.
As for the food, it really surprised me with how good it was. I had the Grilled Chicken Wings (Chipotle-lime sauce or coffee-chili dry rub and served with your choice of house ranch or blue cheese dressing).
These were full wings that fried to a crispy perfection and got to retain that crispiness, because they weren't tossed in sauce afterwards, they were dry rubbed with that slightly bitter, slightly spicy, entirely interesting and delicious dry rub. Crispy, meaty, juicy. What else could you ask for? Oh, a side of that chipotle-lime sauce, because the server suggested you try it, too. Very good.
I also got to try the Roasted Squash (Roasted squash stuffed with our wild rice blend, kale, parmesan, mushrooms and onions, topped with cranberries and maple pepitas. Served with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts).
This was an absolute smash. The squash was roasted to a fork-tender perfection, and the sugars within were really accentuated to a nice sweetness. Pops of additional sweetness from the cranberries with the umami mushrooms and the texture of the pepitas make this one of the best vegetarian dishes I've legit ever had in my life.
Couldn't find a dessert list, but it looks like I had a nice slice of cheesecake to finish things off. I remember it was delicious. A nice little sweet to get me ready for a nap on the plane.
A side note, this place had one of the better drink programs I've seen in a very long time. Not only did they have completely customizable beer flights with a wide array of beer styles, not just blah IPAs, but they also had awesome NA options, including a beer that was brewed never containing alcohol in the first place, so the taste is the taste and not the product of alcohol removal. Pretty interesting.
Overall, this was an excellent experience. One of the places that I wish I could award a sixth star for just how above and beyond they are. If I ever fly into or out of Minnesota again, I will certainly patron this place again.

When it comes to beer selection in the airport, Stone Arch is the best spot around. 32 local Minnesota beers on tap, including barrel-aged and vintage brews from all over the state.
The food is tasty, with a Minnesota flare, highlighting local ingredients like wild rice, walleye, and more. It's comes up quick, its tastes great, and it's not over filling or bloating for the flight.
Service is quick and friendly, it's centrally located just outside Concourse F, near G and within a very short walk of the rest.
Stone Arch is always my stop when heading out of town. Grab a beer, a light breakfast and prepare for takeoff.
