“Let me start with the best part first. The dessert flight with chocolate cake, banana cream pie, and bread pudding was divine!!! I lost track of the number of times me and my husband moaned yum. He even said at one point, "We gotta stop!" We both had the walleye taco bowl. The fish was fresh and seasoned very well. It was the perfect portion size as well. We enjoyed the 80's music being played. There was a "buzz" in the restaurant of people meeting socially and a few people for business. We loved our waitress who gave us a list of other restaurants to try in the area. The only negative thing we have to say is that the mocktail sangria was overly tart and my blueberry mocktail was overpowered with fizz.“

“solid dive bar and burger joint with reasonable prices. don't go here looking for anything fancy or craft burgers. they're meaty, greasy, and just plain tasty. pair it with a brew, and you've got yourself a quality meal. waitress was very personable and quickly fixed an issue with our order. the fries came out kind of cold and she brought us a fresh basket of hot and crispy fries. parking lot is VERY small, but there's plenty of street parking available.“

“This place was truly an experience. The burger I had was not only quite photogenic, but was the best tasting one I have had in a long while. My companion really enjoyed the salad and well. The staff were all really great. The skating rink was a little small, but well loved by every person I saw use it.Of course, I would be remissed if I did not mention that this place is full of photo op spots. From Beach, to the box, an arch, and more!Finally, the gift shop has some neat memorabilia.Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian friendly options on the menu.Parking: The parking ramps of the mall of America are if nothing, vast.Kid-friendliness: This place is very kind friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: This place has an elevator to assist the disabled to the second floor and no extreme inclines from what I could see.“

“We dinned in last week during the snow storm. It was pretty empty, so service was quick. The crab cakes were delicious and I appreciate that it came with 3 cakes instead of the normal 2 at most restaurants. My fiance and my teen ordered the chicken and waffles. Warning, the chicken was hot!! My son says he'll get regular strips next time. My fiance liked them. I ordered the New Orleans salmon. My dish was good however with the name New Orleans, I expected way more flavor. I had to add a decent amount of salt to my food and I NEVER use salt. I'll probably order something different next time but we will definitely be returning!“

“The food and drinks here are great, maybe the best at the MOA. But the reason for this review and 5 stars is the staff. Evan and Tanner at the bar were so kind, personable, and provided great service. Just a joy to chat with, even briefly. We ended up coming back a second time later in the evening and then had Hannah serve us, who was also so responsive and genuine and lovely. Pro tip: get the ninja roll and the angry dragon martini. Holy buckets what a treat. Even better with the great staff. Thanks for making this gal’s birthday a special one!“

“We had a group of six and a child eat at LARS for dinner and breakfast, and both times we had Brook as our server. Brook went above and beyond for our group. Always checking to make sure that we had everything that we needed, and we were always well taken care of. For dinner, we had a birthday that we were celebrating, and Brook surprised her with cake and ice cream. For breakfast, he knew we were about to drive home, and he made sure the kids had to go snacks and juices for the ride. Food was great, but service was exceptional. Will definitely back!“

“I have lived in Bloomington all my life and have never tried this place. I only discovered it through Yelp search and choose to try it due to the good ratings. They are strictly open for lunch 12-2 located on the first floor of an office building. Therefore, it gets very busy and loud in there for the lunch rush. They were very fast and efficient though. First time coming here I felt a little confused at how to order. If you can read signs then you will be just fine and can figure it out. They have the left side for ordering hoagies and they have the right side for ordering salads. They wood fire the pizzas and sandwiches and looked really good. I tried the oriental chicken salad and it was very tasty! You get huge portions for a great price. All ingredients seemed so fresh too! I was a little confused on the parking situation and may have parked in the wrong area. I parked where it said delivery's only but hey I didnt get towed. I was in and out in about ten minutes.“

“Great family dinner outing. Easy making our reservation. Great greeting at host stand. Michael, our server, was knowledgeable of the menu, wine and cocktail list, and did not hesitate to engage with the birthday boy, our five-year old. The raw oysters on the half shell were excellent, briny and clean. The salads, whether Arugula & Berry or Caesar, were plentiful, fresh and satisfying. The fresh hot bread with garlic butter is a meal stealer. And the sea bass, pork chop w/ apricot chutney, walleye, and Kid's chicken tenders were plentiful, well-presented, and tasty. The wine offerings were great for any palate, and the spicy prickly pear margarita and smoky old fashions were hits. And desserts, whether the creme brulee, chocolate molten cake, or world's smallest ice cream sundae, were shareable and delightful. A great meal at a classic location. Well done Kincaid's.“

“Best happy hour in the cities! You can't beat $2 rails/beer and half price select apps. Their dry rub bone-in wings are on the smaller side, however the skin is delightfully crispy and flavorful. On Tuesday's you can get a 2lb bucket of wings for $10. The potato skins are great and their flatbreads are a good deal too (the chicken pesto is one of my favorites). I would pass on the hot dish and queso as they are on the blander side. Service can be slow during peak times but the staff is friendly. There is lots of seating but it can be difficult to get a spot on the patio on a warm sunny day. They have pull tabs and a few arcade games as well.“
