“Great staff. Plenty of menu selections with weekly specials. We've become regulars. Going back tonight.“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on the patio. Was interested in a bitters & soda and the server recommended mixing the rhubarb and cardamom, which was delicious and refreshing. Followed that with the Chix Correa sandwich and a side salad. Wow! Really creative flavors and well-executed. Could tell everything was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients and care. Also the decor was fun and hip, the music top-notch, and the staff kind. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“Great menu for GF, Vegan, and Vegetarian as well as for meat eaters. Fresh and local ingredients. Open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Friendly staff. Parking lot and located off a bus line in a walkable and bike friendly neighborhood. If you liked the food truck, then you will love this.“

“Amazing cocktails and food!“

“Great service and food!!!!“

“We love coming here for a couple cocktails and burgers after work! I would definitely suggest coming early in the evening as there is typically a large line waiting by the time we head out between 6-7pm.
The mai tais and burgers are a favorite, and they have Wild State cider available which is great, especially since more than one mai tai can be a bit much!
Service has always been friendly and they're always playing fun music.“

“If you're heading to a Twins game, skip the stadium food and check out Trópico just steps away. As a Venezuelan, I can honestly say this place is incredible. The food is authentic, flavorful, and made with love. The Arepa Pro and Chicken Arepa are some of the best I’ve had, even compared to back home. Perfectly cooked, generously filled, and absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, with friendly service and colorful decor that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. This is not just a quick bite, it’s a full experience.

Support this amazing small business and treat yourself to real Latin flavor. Trópico is a gem near the stadium and it deserves all the love. You won’t regret it.“

“Welcoming bartenders! Amazingly crafted cocktails! The BEST whiskey sour and the old fashioned was also very well done! Came back for mocha martinis to end the night...hands down the best decision! 5 stars!!!“

“Loved it. Great for a date night.“

“Always delicious! A real treat.“

“Came here for the cool atmosphere and cocktails but what wowed me the most was the unbelievable food. Every dish we tried was delicious and unique. They put in your food orders one at a time as you need them so the food was fresh and hot every time it came out.

Our server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and the atmosphere was very unique and fun for a date night. Would highly recommend!“

“I go to Minneapolis every year for Vikings football. In October I went to Norseman for the first time. I arrived just as they were opening, about 12 noon. Had a great time and loved the whiskey. I ordered a sampling of four drinks and had lunch. Enjoyed the service and the people. So now back in New York, I ordered Norseman whiskey online. I'll be back next year. SKOL!“

“Love the food, and atmosphere.“

“having my clubACB getMC patch finally the recognition we deserve“

“An unforgettable first date night experience with my husband! We dined at this beautiful restaurant for the first time and were truly impressed. The food was sophisticated, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented—each dish felt like a special occasion. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. What stood out even more was seeing the owner so hands-on and present, ensuring everything ran smoothly. You can tell this place is run with passion and care. We’ll definitely be back!“

“-Vinai MN- My friend and I wanted to try Chef Yia's restaurant due to being homesick and wanting hmong food. We were met with such great service and sat where we could see the work area. Chef Yia was so kind and started us off with a complimentary appetizer, rice Curry balls. We ordered and the food came so fast. As soon as I took a bite, my eyes started to get teary because it tasted like food from home. I started fanning myself to not cry which Chef Yia saw and asked if the food was too spicy. We then started to explain that we were not from MN and were feeling a bit homesick and how the food reminded us of home. Chef Yia then said, here let's do this. He returned with a pot of beef soup that consisted of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, beef and green onion and white rice and shared that this dish was one of those dishes that we would eat at gathering and events. We we so shocked and so at loss with his kindness and compassion. We both took a bite and immediately lighted up. It tasted like my mom's cooking 💓. As we were nearing the end of our meal, Chef Yia told us not to stuff ourselves too full and surprised us with a complimentary dessert which further awed us. We were so lost at words for Chef Yia's kindness, generosity and comfort. We chose the Lava Cake and it was soooo good! I normally don't like sweets but we devoured this 😋. 1000/10 would recommend.“

“So good! Excellent customer service and the food is to die for! 100% recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family!“

“Even tho, there are interesting things on the menu, I got the cheeseburger. OMG, best ever!
And the truffle fries - tasted of truffle without being way too greasy. We had a 2nd order for the table.
It's a special, soulful place, our group were all very happy“

“Want an AMAZING dinner? Then this is your place! We had the collard greens dip and the Minnesota Meal. Both were outstanding! Will be back - and will bring friends!“

“The venue is a little too “homie” for my tastes, but the food was amazing!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“Great food and great service! Highly recommend!“

“I’ve now been here twice, both times with a reservation, and it just doesn’t live up to the hype everyone gives it. The food is delicious but I’d just recommend just going to the actual restaurant. No matter where you get seated it will feel cramped and you will be really close to your neighbors. The staff was super nice but rarely checked on us, it took an hour to get our first round of drinks BOTH times I’ve been.“

“Great business that cares about our future, city, and ALL of the people of Minnesota! Viva NightingaleMPLS!“

“Great tour by Cade. Beautiful facility and even better whiskey. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Incredibly friendly staff, so gracious to our large party. Food was fresh, appetizers were hot and tasty, vegetables were crisp and delicious, and the Szechuan soup base was approachable spicy- they didn't hold back on the numbing spice, thankfully. A wonderful place to go for a hotpot meal with a staff that clearly cares about serving top-quality meals.“

“Highly recommend Mr. Paul's Supper Club for a fun night with friends or a date night. I would suggest you make a reservation as it was hopping even on a Sunday night. We sat at the full service bar with Dante hooking us up all evening. He is skilled in his craft, made an amazing Old Fashioned and provided excellent drink and food recommendations. Food was absolutely awesome starting with some oysters, main course of lobster gnocchi finishing with apple crisp. Diverse menu with plenty of options. Courtney treated us like kings and took the time to ensure we were well taken care of from start to finish! Great experience, go see em' you won't be disappointed. #MrPaulsSupperClub #edinarestaurants #ThingsToDoInEdina #50thAndFrance“

“We stumbled onto this place by picking it at random from google. We sat at the bar and had great recommendations from the servers / mixologists. We had a very enjoyable meal. Highly recommend finishing the meal with a fresh baked cookie 😀“

“Love this place! Love every single drink that was served here I'm so happy that I don't need to think about the next drink to order and just tell them what I'm looking for in a drink! The bartenders are super knowledgeable and cool and knows how to carry a conversation and not be awkward! And the music might be a bit loud for people but still taxable and I personally really like dimmed places!“

“wife and I drove 6 hours to eat here. we have made the trip multiple times over the years. came in Wednesday early afternoon and got great service. I wish I could remember her name, I would give her 5 stars. love coal fired pizza.“

“Minneapolis Cider Co is easily one of the best spots in the city for great drinks and an even better atmosphere. Their ciders are consistently flavorful—bright, crisp, and creative without being overly sweet. There’s always something new on tap, and the staff is happy to help you find a cider that fits your taste.

The taproom itself is spacious, inviting, and perfect for everything from a casual night out to meeting up with friends. Between the pickleball courts, events, and rotating food options, there’s always something going on, and the vibe is upbeat without feeling chaotic.

Service has always been friendly and quick, and the whole experience feels really well-run. Whether you’re a cider fan or just looking for a fun place to hang out, Minneapolis Cider Co is absolutely worth a visit.“

“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“Absolutely the worst service. This is affiliated with University Club of Saint Paul notoriously known for terrible service. No attention to detail. We were served the wrong food. The service was significantly delayed and the food was mediocre at best. Don’t spend your money here until they fix this problem.“

“Went here with my family to celebrate my sister's birthday. I never got his name, but the guy working at OG Zaza was incredibly generous. We got a second pizza for free and my sister got a free ice cream sundae. The pizza was amazing and the old fashioned from King Coil was delicious. If you do your research on how to order food and drinks, you will also have a pleasant experience. Will definitely return again when visiting the area!“

“The Roasted Delicata was the most satisfying sandwich I’ve had in a long time – rich, tangy, and gorgeous. The pudding I had was great too. Also appreciated that they let me use their patio in spite of near-freezing temps: a good spot for those still trying to avoid the ongoing pandemic. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-13“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“The food always hits so good! I love eating here and the portions are giant! The drink list is also fantastic. Can't wait until its warmer to enjoy their patio again!“

“The food and drinks were great. Highly recommend this place. Tequila selection is amazing.“

“Dark Horse came highly recommended from the MSP Burgers Facebook page. The burger and fries were great. The only gripe is the service was very slow when we first arrived, but I understand they were busy and our waiter had his hands full. I have seen tons of reviews on MSP Burgers and no complaints about service, so it was likely an anomaly. I definitely recommend the Dark Horse burger and the pizza also looks amazing.“

“Had it delivered and everything was so good. I was ordering for the potstickers but the Orange Chicken was the best we've ever had. Would go back just for the Crispy Korean Chicken wings. Every one of the dipping sauces were great too.“

“Came here with our kickball team after a game and we all were happy with the last minute pick. Efficient and extremely tasty food, good happy hour deal, nice patio, and very kind staff! Will absolutely be back here! Highly recommend the Birria tostada wrap, elote, churros, and chicken verde salsa tacos!“

“I can’t begin to say how much we enjoyed our dinner here. Highly recommend it!“

“I stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Ramp Valet service was greatly appreciated. The atmosphere of the restaurant was awesome, the house old fashioned was perfect, the house burger and fries excellent.
The waitress told me it was happy hour so the already reasonable prices were even less.
As I was leaving a band was setting up.
If I lived a little closer this place would be a regular spot for me.“

“Great food. Homemade taste. Locally sourced. Affordable. Friendly, efficient service.“

“Amazing food, good service, lovely patio“
