The Mosacto I had was great. Food was alright. Burger (The Minnesotan), was bland considering everything that was on it. The fries were decent. The bowl the Harvest salad came in was cute.

I found the chicken tender basket to be quite delicious! Not dry at all, but the breading was still nice and crisp. I also really enjoyed their ranch. Definitely seemed like an in-house made recipe.

Would have had I been in more of a meal-oriented mood. Service is similarly, neither bad nor amazing. Server showed up, orders got put in, stuff came out, extra requests like mustard for the pretzels happened. OK, so why five stars? Beer list, bro. This place has an outstanding tap list, and FAR more than what you would normally get at a bar and grill in the suburbs. It skews heavily towards the local. Picked it specifically because I was hoping for some good local beers and was not disappointed. Would come back on that basis alone.

We were seated immediately, and our drinks came out quickly. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. We started with the cheese curds, and they were delicious. My bison burger was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and definitely lived up to the hype. I really enjoyed it. My friend wasn't as impressed with his burger, but that's just his opinion. The only downside was the number of flies. I understand it's summertime and that can be hard to control, but it was noticeable enough to take away from the experience a bit. Overall, the great service and tasty food made it a place I'd come back to. Hopefully the fly situation improves because everything else was really enjoyable.

The Cardinal…read moreTavern is a few feet from the light rail and I knew I needed to make a visit just from the outside look of the place. A few days later, my wife and I stopped by. We arrived around 400 PM and were quickly greeted and seated. Our waitress was friendly and a fantastic waitress. We had onion rings appetizer, wife had a Jucy Lucy, and I had a steak sandwich. She had a Miller Lite draft and I had a Budweiser draft. Both of us really enjoyed our meals. Portion sizes were strong. Waitress couldn't have been nicer and either the manager/owner stopped by three different times and talked to us about a repeat customer program they have in place. A very nice guy. This is definitely a locals favorite but we were welcomed in! There isn't anything fancy about the Cardinal Tavern but if you are looking for good food in a friendly environment, stop by. You will be glad you did.

Dive bar 2 of 40 My…read moregoal this year is to hit at least 40 dive bars in 2026. My second stop is to hit up one of my old haunts from many years ago when I lived in S. MPLS. So here we are, 38th and Hiawatha. Not a lot has changed over the years, except maybe more selections on tap. walking in from the corner door takes you into a dimly light bar with enough to seat about 10 to 12 patrons. You will also notice there is tons of seating options in the bar and into the second room. Further back you will find the game room with a bunch of pool tables and a couple dart boards for the gaming folks. The vibe in here is typical neighborhood bar, it is relaxed, the patrons are just your regular easy going folks, and you can easily chat up folks here...maybe discover a new drinking buddy! We came in to do a little day drinking, play some pull-tabs and eat some food. First and foremost, winning a couple hundred in pull-tabs already makes this a fun place to hang...actually it would have been fun regardless. The food fare is your standard bar food, however they do serve breakfast, and the entrees I saw people woofing down, I'd hit this place up for breakfast. We opted to order the pork tenderloin and the sour cream and onion burger. Both were served on toast; the tenderloin on whole wheat with pickles and onions (you need to ask for onions) with a sizable breaded tenderloin. If you want a side I.e. coleslaw, cottage cheese, tots, French fries you need to order with your sandwich. The burger served on pumpernickel had fried onions on it with the sour cream. If I lived on the south side, I'd certainly make this my second home.

We ordered the queso as an app and I have to say, one of the tastiest queso dips I have had. For dinner I had the chicken avocado pita with veggies as a side. It was tasty. Hubby had a pasta that he is still talking about (the following day) My Son had a burger and waffle fries that he said he really enjoyed and my Daughter in law the chicken quesadilla. This was the only fail - way to many onions. Great amount of cheese but we decided it should be called an onion and cheese quesadilla- that's how many onions in it. Good experience. Service was good

The response time for this emergency by the employees here was amazing so I'm glad they were on top of it. Let's talk about the food though, it was amazing! Pretzels were soft, beer cheese was strong on beer flavor. Cheese curds were probably the best there. The burger was flavorful and cooked right. The ranch was really good here! The portions are pretty big, we all had leftovers. I liked the different options of sides that come with the entrees. The drinks sounded delicious too but it was a bit too early for me to drink. Dani was an awesome waitress, very attentive and calm even through the emergency. This place gives off small town dive bar when you walk in with the bar side but the other side has plenty of seating options with big booths, it was nice it was separated and depending on what type of mood you are in you can choose to sit wherever. Plenty of parking and easy to get to.

This is NOT a dark joint. It's bright and tables/floors are clean. Restrooms are ancient but painted while providing standing room for one person only. Try to "go" before you go to Frenchman's. Burgers are the backbone of the reasonably priced menu and periodic special offers are a popular choice. I had a Dill Burger (see photo)...fried, sliced, dill pickles and a dill sauce over what appeared to be a hand- formed burger. The server never asked about pink/no pink etc. and ours came out "no pink." The standard is a side of chips...house made would be a great difference. Service is just OK...the bartender was fairly busy with the regulars at the bar and never stopped by until we were ready to leave. Same with the tables around us. If you're looking for a new spot to hide out for lunch offered at a good price, Frenchman's might work for you. Enjoy it.
