“This place is amazing, the staff is so helpful! They don’t charge as much as others and They are always upgrading and redoing the felt on all the tables, getting new house cues, and the food is better and cheaper than mostly restaurants. Very friendly and relaxed. Whether you’re a professional or just beginning, if it’s your first date night, anniversary, birthday party this place will take care of you. Thank you so sue and jimmy!!!“

“Super impressed by our experience with wait staff, this place is absolutely adorable, and the food was very impressive. We loved the drink menu with so many options for N/A drinkers, too. Being able to pop next door and buy items we enjoyed at dinner to take home was a delight.“

“Extremely friendly atmosphere and staff. Our server, Jackson, has the best personality. Being our first visit, he explained the ingredients and recommended to try different sauces which were great. We asked to speak with his manager and Danny was just as kind. It’s nice to see a manager supporting his team with pride.“

“We had the cheese pizza and it was very good. The only thing I found disconcerting, and in particular post or mid Covid depending on how you look at it, was that the servers were picking up dirty dishes, handling the mouth area of the glasses, forks, napkins and then serving food.With the automatic 20% tip they charge I would think they could have a dedicated dirty dish person and serving person separately.“

“Delish Healthy Options! The Green Acres Avocado Toast…“

“Just Awesome great food good drinks and cool bartenders many cool pinball machines“

“Great selection on the wall!“

“The BEST brewery and staff in all of the Twin Cities! If you haven't been, you are missing out!“

“This is a place you’ll get hooked on. From the Waygu burger, Salmon Sandwich to their baked goods. I bought a brioche loaf and made the most amazing French toast from it. Very worth a visit for breakfast and lunch!“

“This review is long overdue, but I came here when I was visiting my fiancee's family in Minneapolis around Thanksgiving weekend. His brother and sister in law brought us and the rest of the family here for a quick lunch. The bartender that took our order provided amazing service by accommodating all our orders since we were a large group. The pretzel is to die for! It's so large and meant for sharing. I'm from NYC, and this pretzel outperforms better than the stale hot dog stand pretzel you'd find here. I loved the turkey sausage sandwich with the variety of toppings they have. I wish this place were closer to home, but I'd have to wait until I'm back in Minnesota to stop by this place!“

“This coffee shop is adorable! Get the lavender London Fog, it might be the best ever!“

“The food here is awesome and unique. And great drink selection! The Lamb Gyro brat was absolutely amazing. They have so many different options and you can really create your own adventure with the toppings and dipping options. We went before the Wild game at the Xcel, so it was VERY busy. We were lucky to find a spot to sit. That, in my opinion, is the only "down side" to eating here. You have to squeeze in and share a table with strangers. With only two of us, that was no issue, but if you have a large group, it would be tricky.“

“Self-service taps is a cool idea, but that means no bartender and no familiar faces, the sort of thing you want in a neighborhood spot. That said, it was clean, comfortable, reasonably quiet, and the food was good. They had a wall full of games, which would be pretty cool if you planned on hanging out for a while.The taps had a good variety, wine, seltzers and beers, but it would have been nice to have a little more varieties or maybe a couple more recognized brands.All in all, a nice spot and definitely worth a visit.Parking: Fair amount of free on-street parking.Kid-friendliness: Seems like a perfectly fine place for kids. The games and deep booth seats certainly help.“

“great staff here, they really went above, to make my Mother in law's birthday party pretty awesome. very friendly people at the Cardinal, I now know why Bev loves this place.“

“I love this place it's open late which is how I originally happened in. This is a bar that serves some pretty good food. I really like the pot roast dinner and there cheese curds are very good they have a super light breading. Service has always been outstanding.“

“We stopped in for brunch. The hours, even on the weekend, for brunch are 8-11. You could definitely tell that the restaurant was very very new. Lots of questions from the staff to the manager on the menu (which only has 6 items), questions on what glassware to use, etc. The inside is super cute and bright on the corner of Lake and Excelsior. There are a few reserved restaurant spots in the garage. We started with bloody Mary's. There were two mix choices, dill and smoky jalapeño. We ordered one of each and they were served with garnishes of a lime and an olive. The dill definitely held that taste and I thought it was great. The smoky jalapeño I'm told tasted like normal mix. There was no baby beer served with it which is something I've come to expect with a bloody in Minnesota so was a little disappointing. We both got the steak burrito which was served with a side salad and a salsa. The dressing on the salad was great! The ingredients in the burrito were also very nice but not very evenly dispersed. I love burritos though and would order it again. We split a side of potatoes which weren't needed. They were good but the burrito was full of potatoes. A few training kinks to work out but a great location and food was both reasonable and delicious.“

“I was there for a special event so it wasn't a full menu, just drinks. But it was so inviting and the staff was amazing.“

“The Gnome has great food and excellent service.“

“I love my neighborhood bar. The bartenders and staff make us feel like family. We love Kayla and Jake on evenings and even on nights when it's super busy, they remain professional, and always remember your drink preference. Great music, live bands and good pours.“

“I love Pizza Luce, this location is big and comfy. The staff were so nice and answered any of my questions.“

“Went at 1pm with a party if 7. Sat right away. Great food options. Delicious. Everything was marvelous. Only gave 4 stars for service as we were a little slow on refills and forgot an order if fries, but quickly remedied once he came back around. Nothing huge.“

“Great fun place with great service!“

“Food was good, but menu didn't have a lot of variety, Good fit for the neighborhood - comfortable and friendly spot to hand out with friends and get a drink. Decor and furnishings are a little dated, but service is attentive. Ordered a NA wine, a milkshake, nachos, a burger, and the daily special. Wine frizzante was served chilled in a wine glass. The black cherry milkshake was sweet and creamy but was cherry syrup mixed in soft serve vs cherry ice cream. The chicken nachos were very good - nachos were crisp, chicken was tender and flavorful, pico and sour cream were cold. The daily special that day was pot roast special was a large portion of pot roast served with baby carrots, a biscuit, and mashed potatoes with a well of gravy. The beef was fork-tender and had a tasty rich flavor. The Ellsworth Lucy burger was well-cooked, well-seasoned, and flavored well. We had sweet potato tots on the side which came with a chipotle sauce. The tots had great texture - soft inside with crisp exterior, and the chipotle sauce was creamy with a nice kick.“
