We ate the pork chops with apple cornbread stuffing and greens. It was delicious. The house salad was fresh and the green goddess dressing was superb. We had the salted pretzel with cheese appetizer and it was wonderful. I can’t recommend this place enough. Give it a try. We will definitely be going back !!!

First time here was great great food great service. Tonight thought we would return, order drinks ordered app someone else brought the appetizer to the table. I had to go to the bar to get my own drink, sorry your waiter had an 8 top. Took him a while for him to return even after I got my own drink, needless to say we didn't stay. So sad after the first time was so great. Might try again as maybe he was new but eh kind of disappointed after the first great visit. They ended up comping our app wish they said that before we said screw dinner, we might of stayed and tried dinner again.

Went on a Saturday at 430pm during Octoberfest.

Every part of my experience was amazing. The server was attentive and very kind. The restaurant was decorated in a way that gets the theme across without being “too much”

My drink was so strong and yummy. The food was well plated and delicious. I got the chicken and risotto. My date got the shepherds pie. The chicken is worth the try but that shepherds pie is worth going back for! Had the spinach dip as out appetizer, smaller portion of the dip than most places, but for $9 great and the housemade chips it came with were one of my favorite parts of the meal.

The price is 100% worth it and there are items for less than $20 so something for a lot of budgets.

I can’t wait to until my next visit so I can explore more of the menu.

Vegetarian options: Two great looking pasta dishes.

Whole portions of the meals that were ordered were not provided. No mention of being out of product to serve was made at the time of ordering or before presenting plates. Our party had to inquire about the missing segments of our meal and no price adjustments were made after leaving out portions of listed menu items. The lamb was somehow both overcooked and cold. The asparagus was also cold and didn’t even have the stems trimmed off. Had to make requests from passing servers as ours was MIA most of the meal and our drinks stayed empty. The manager was offended we didn't want free dessert after providing a terrible meal and service, no other offer of compensation was made. Will not even consider going back. Absolutely the worst service and food I've experienced in any resteraunt much less one offering $40 plates.

My husband I visited and everything started out great, we had the bang bang crawfish and it was awesome but it went down from there. My husband ordered the Paccheri Pasta with Saffron cream sauce and had chicken added, his dish wasn’t bad, there was potential. I ordered the bison burger with sweet potato fries. I ordered it medium rare, because bison is such a lean protein and should be done no less than medium unless requested. When my food finally came out it was cold and the center of the burger was way over medium, there was way too much salt, and my fries were not sweet potato. Our waiter came 5 minutes into the meal and I had him take it away, I couldn’t eat it. The next burger they brought out was cooked the same way and very salty, since it was Friday night and business was slow it made me wonder if the meat was old because it seemed juicy but the color was way off. However, the sweet potato fries were very good. They comped my food and gave us a dessert, which was very good. Overall I might go back just to give them another chance but I will need to think about it. I probably wouldn’t order a burger but a steak instead.

We’ve been wanting to visit Blood Eagle since we heard of them opening but decided to give it time for opening kinks to be worked out. We were not disappointed, everything was great! Excellent service from Paige. We had green fried tomatoes, chicken and risotto, pecan crusted trout, and the rack of lamb. It was all cooked wonderfully had amazing flavor. Definitely a place that we will return to.

Me and my family have been waiting to try Blood Eagle after seeing a ad so they decided to take me for a early birthday dinner today. The spinach dip and house chips were delicious and that says alot when your husband that doesn't normally eat spinach dip kept eating it! ?
On to my entree well to be honest I was kind of disappointed about it just cause I spent some time before hand looking at menu online and pictures of what they advertise vs what I received which was missing what sold me the dish was carmaized apples on top of the pork chop it made the pork chop stand out delicious all together it made me hungry looking at it and was just advertise not long ago on their facebook picture. Also, I notice on your menu the bone in cowboy pork chop is the only off the grill item that didn't show it came with mash or side item that's the only reason why I ordered the baked potato (extra priced)with mine if it came out with mash I would of been ok with both cause then it would of been close to picture and price It was good don't get me wrong but I think the apples would of really hit the spot sweet and savory delicious and for price I was just hoping for alittle more of the description and especially the fact that we waited a bit for our food would of understand if it was busy and forgot something or explained if you were out of something. Why is that it dont have a side item with pork chop and others do for the price? Also from my plate was the stuffing cornbread cakes on top I wasnt able to eat they were really packed with grease maybe baking them be better just a suggestion but other then that we loved the concept we did wished for some Nordic music maybe add some to your Playlist and lots more Viking decor would definitely make the experience even better and definitely unique we loved the mural,light up signs and animal skins for sure but definitely would of loved to have full nordic experience. We wish you best of luck with your small business! (Service was good just need some smiles I get it cause I been in their shoes when it comes to serving it can be alot but I also know by eating at many restaurants smiles makes the experience better for everyone.?

While visiting family in the area, we went here with a robust party of 8. The staff is very welcoming and friendly! The walls are a bit plain, but as they are just getting started, I'm sure there is more to come; still full marks for atmosphere, because of the very comfortable and friendly feel of the place. As far as the food.... DELICIOUS!! Haha! We shared many appetizers, all of them fantastic, and I can't dote enough on that Cowboy Tomahawk!!! Having Mead on tap is also brilliant, as far as I'm concerned. My family and I will make this a regular dinner stop when we all get together, and I cannot wait to tackle that Thor's Hammer next time! Skål!

Just visited this place the other day with a friend of mine, and oh. My. Goodness!! I had the green tomato blt, every bite was MOUTH WATERING, as well as their alcohol beverages and beers
The owner was very very cool, respectful, and takes a lot of pride in his work!
Can't wait to go back and try something else!
