“Just ate here on a whim. Wife picked it from a huge list on google. They did not disappoint. Order the fried chicken. You won’t be sorry. I also had burnt ends. Prolly the best I’ve ever had. Sticky toffee pudding and banana Creme pie for dessert. This place was off the chain. Great food great atmosphere great service. Will be back soon. I’m kinda of mad at myself for not ordering another sticky toffee pudding to take with me. 200 stars. Thanks for a great meal“

“I rook a work meeting here and agreed based on the experience of the person who invited me.I'm so glad we did this. The food was so good that it was hard to focus on business. I asked my waiter about every dish I saw coming from the kitchen.I'll be back!Next time, I'm trying the chicken bowl.Enjoyed my fried fish, by the way seasoned to perfection and with spice. The famous green sauce....MORE PLEASE.They didn't have cheese grits, but I had the Mac and Cheese instead. Whew, I just needed a little more cheese on top, but I still could not stop eating it once I started.Closest to Southern style I have experienced up here.I had the Yuca fries and requested them hot PEPPAS!!!Oh, and did I mention the corn in the cornbread ?... the way I make it at home.GET YOU SOME BRASA. ?“

Dakota Southern • $$$
1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis

“Ambiance, music, service - this place has it all. It's our go-to recommendation for visitors from out of town, and more often than not, we come along too!Just make sure to look up the past work of the musicians before booking, because the styles vary wildly. Our least favorite was a band that pretty much sounded like elevator musak /: That said, they were still great musicians, and we've always enjoyed our outings here.If you book far enough in advance, you can snag the super close up balcony seats, which are really a VIP experience, or the snug little booths, but even at the longer group style tables, you'll have a blast.“

“I go there in the daytime for Brunch, it's amazing food and service. I noticed they were open according to Google maps one Sunday evening and realized the dinning area was closed and prior to entering I was charged 20 dollars and thought that was odd and asked the woman at the front why I had to pay to sit down to eat but didn't get an explanation. The menu is very limited and was directed to an area where people were dancing and having a good time, I got my food to go and left. I can say the place looked well run but the crowd was a little too young for my taste. Go there during the afternoon full menu.“

“One of if not the best BBQ places in Minnesota! Luckily I live pretty close so I come somewhat frequently. Never disappointing and they run some great one off specials every Tuesday. Love the fact the meat is all served un-sauced, and there are a bunch of house made sauces to pick from including one of my favorites a mustard/vinegar type. Add on a smoked cheddar jalapeño sausage to your order and thank me later.“

“I'm a staunch supporter of restaurants blazing the trail for tipless pricing as it tends to be more equitable for staff and simpler and more transparent for all. Brasa is tipless, saying it pays its workers $16-25/hr, and it does everything right: delicious rotisserie chicken (pollo a la brasa), tasty sides (the spicy creamed spinach wasn't actually spicy hot, but it was tangy and creamy), fast service, and reasonable prices---remember, no tipping expected. The two-piece rotisserie plate is $15 as of this writing and is enough to satisfy most appetites. An excellent deal for food this delicious and well-prepared. The décor and vibe is very nice too.“

I've been to Tennessee numerous times and Revivals Fried Chicken rivals anything I've ever had in the south. I would also add the Belgian waffle is the best I've ever had.“

“I can't wait to go back!! The aroma in the parking lot will send you running in. It was our first time here. We both ordered pulled pork sandwiches and they were soooo delicious and on point: moist tender smoky meat on a grilled brioche bun. So top notch. The bbq sauces are out of this world! I'm buying bottles next time. The cole slaw was very good as well as the mac n cheese. Person taking our order was very friendly and efficient. Only thing I noticed is I think they need more space as its kind of small there and was hoppin and pretty crowded at lunchtime.“

“was a bit worried after reading a few 1 or 2 star reviews but 3 beef ribs I had were very smokey and tender yet chewy. ribs came with sauce already, more of sticky type than runny but goes well with smokey ribs. I liked side toasts with some cheddar sauce on 'em and lightly cajun fries. without knowing I stood and waited for about 30 mins or so (no chair and area's kinda dark) but food was worth the wait. Amos allows call-in so next time Imma call in to try other stuff!“

I don’t mind the wait for the food since it is all being made fresh and they are not reheating food that’s been frozen. I can’t wait to come back and eat again.“
