The food is surprisingly good for a dive bar, I can't get enough of their fries and beer cheese. I recently mixed it up and got the spinach and artichoke dip and was not disappointed! I am a creature of habit and almost always get a cider on tap but they've got a pretty decent selection of beers and cocktails if that's your thing. Service is pretty standard, they're good at checking in if you're sticking around a while for karaoke. Wide variety of karaoke goers here, if it's on youtube you can sing it! If you hate karaoke, the other side of the bar is thoroughly separated with a small hallway past the kitchen in between.

Ambiance - kinda hard to describe, it has an old time feeling. They have old booths and lighting but I guess that's what makes it special. Service - our bartender/waiter was great! Offered suggestions for my burger and told us about a delicious IPA for our drinks. Food - I had the Hellcat Inferno Burger with BBQ sauce. It was a tasty burger and went will with the Diablo sauce that was at the table. Overall it wasn't my favorite but the food was good. It's been around for over 100 years so they must be doing something right.

However, it seems like it is almost always two for ones. $8 for two Bloody Mary's and a snit this morning. Gotta get a little juiced up for the Vikings game! They have six pinball machines and Touch Tunes. Use the Touch Tunes at your own risk. Some of the locals get a little defensive. Played a number of tunes here one time and the next song that came on was Tom Petty's Don't Come Around Here No More. They do have an attached concert room. Saw local legends Run Westy Run here awhile back. Great show! Dave Pirner made a cameo appearance. Think I've only had food here once. It was not great. Those tater tots were burnt to a crisp. I recommend this place for its dive bar vibe and cheap drinks, may need to give the food another shot before I say take a hard pass on it. Hoping my three star is not the kiss of death on this place as it has been for other places in the neighborhood that I have reviewed. They have been here for decades. They should be fine!

Instead of just duck bacon, corn, and cream cheese, which is what we thought would be inside, it also had peppers. The peppers overshadowed the rest of the ingredients so we didn't really taste any duck. I also got dry rub wings and mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were just okay, definitely on the small side. The wings had good flavor but were a tad dry. They were good but I wouldn't recommend going here just for the wings. My friend got the mushroom and Swiss burger with tots and really enjoyed that. She reported that the ranch was super good!

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.

Just saying. Get the burger. And the tots. Expect a cocktail that will put hairs on your chest and knock the socks off your feet. And expect to Uber home. Time isn't the same in this superb establishment.

I love the dive bar feel and reading everyone's dollars on the wall and looking for ones me and my friends have contributed. I am a proud owner of their merch, which I found reasonably priced and very cute. During summer, you can usually find the friend group occupying a table on the patio. I appreciate even on a busy evening there are still servers going around and you don't have to fight your way up to the bar to order something. I've never actually ordered food at Cuzzy's before, but I've heard good things about it. An order of wings that went to folks sitting near us looked good.

I was pumped when my upcoming wedding band Clean Plate Club (CPC) got to open here which is my reason for visiting. I'm not much of a concert girly so this was a big step for me. There is a tiny parking lot in the back, otherwise, a few blocks down in the residential streets there is complimentary parking - just ensure you follow the sign rules as it goes by odd and even sides based on the date. To lead with parking confusion is why I'm giving this venue 4 stars. Walking as a single woman for a night show by University is not something I would ever suggest unless you have a buddy with. For this venue, I would recommend the buddy system or Uber. The venue has a normal bouncer, ID check and tickets can be purchased in advance via the AXS app or onsite. Once inside, the venue is breathable and long. The stage sits at the opposite side of entry and there is a long bar on the side wall, a few tables in the back, and then standing room for most concerts. My friend and I ordered a drink from the bar and then weaseled our way to the front to support CPC. The sound, lighting and stage was the best! We had a great time. Looks like there is a basement here (I never visited it) and that food is served. Also can't speak for this but something to look into. Thanks, Turf Club!!
