    Where do I begin? The atmosphere is so cute and welcoming. We were a group of 5, started out with the most delicious enormous pretzel I have ever had, the cheese sauce was also the best, so flavorful and creamy! I had a lobster grilled cheese, super delicious and lots of lobster. My fiancé and brother had the highly recommended elk burger which was very good and unique tasting. My sister in law loved her Bahn mi sandwich. We had a great attentive waitress also. Beer was only $3.50/glass and finance said wished he would have tried another he liked the first one so well. Fun shaped hot fries too. My brother just bought a cabin in Aitkin so I am sure we were make many more trips back for more great food from here. Fun place to find out in the boonies.

    We just had a fabulous lunch. I had fish tacos, loaded with great fish & guacamole, warm flour tortillas. My hubby had Wagu Philly, loved it . Bethany, our waitress was so pleasant & on the ball.

    As a vegetarian/pescatarian, it can be very challenging to find restaurants outside the twin cities Metropolitan area. Even the ones I find usually have few choices to eat from and the food isn't that good. That's why I absolutely loved my visit to block North. It's something that could've been located in my own neighborhood in Saint Paul. Starting with the beer, they have an excellent selection of styles. I chose the Saison, which is far less common in Minnesota breweries than I would like. It was excellent. For lunch, I chose the ratatouille and added shrimp. They were served with the vegetable of the day, green beans. The serving size was enormous which can also be inversely related to quality, but not here. The green beans were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The ratatouille was lovely with chunks of eggplant and zucchini plus a mushroom on the side. This meal was just delightful. I was by myself, so I sat out the bar. The bartender was friendly, but not overbearing. There were many other items on the menu I would've loved to have tried. I will definitely stop here again in the future.

    Tried their elk burger and it was phenomenal! My friends tried their Philly steak sandwich and steak poutine and gotta say the poutine was the best over ever had. Everything was delicious, and I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area! Great service and loved the vibes inside!

    New to the area and very excited to learn this is nearby! Warm, inviting environment for a cold Minnesota night. Wide variety of options on the menu, you could make a lot of visits and try something exciting every time. Solid beer options, friendly staff, pull tabs, and a place for kids to play some games downstairs if you need a quick distraction for little ones. Didn't get pictures of it all but we ordered everything from burgers to steak frites to chicken tenders. We greatly enjoyed the nachos, and the pretzel that is GIGANTIC (pictures don't really do justice to the size). The brisket street taco was my favorite of the three in the offering- so much so that next time I will likely order the brisket sandwich!

    I stopped here yesterday with some buddies, and I'm so glad we did! Even though it was busy, we were seated right away. We found parking right away and closeby. We loved our waitress, who gave great recommendations! I had the BBQ brisket sandwich. Overall really good, very filling. Prices were great for the large portion sizes. It was honestly hard to choose what to eat - there were so many options. I also had a bite of my friend's BBQ salad and I absolutely regret not ordering that. I'm excited to go back and try more things!

    I absolutely loved Block North. From the second I walked in the door I was greeted with kind and friendly staff. On top of great service, the dining space is big, open and bright. This is an easy place to come and meet with friends and family or just hang out at the bar with an in house brewed craft beer. Overall I enjoyed the food significantly more than the beer. I had the "world famous" fish sandwich which was legit one of the best I have ever had. An over sized very lightly battered and perfectly fried on a fresh baked bun. The fish was light and flakey and wasn't lost in the batter. The server recommended a slice of cheese on top. This is something new to me for a fish sandwich so I tried it. While it was good, it took away from the amazing fish and I wouldn't recommend it. My girlfriend has the lobster grilled cheese sandwich. Wow. Just wow. My favorite part about this sandwich other then the nicely buttered and grilled bread and the ooozy cheese pull is the overly generous helping of lobster. Yum! We also tried the shrimp stuffed jalapeño poppers wrapped with bacon. The jalapeños were lightly grilled and stuffed with cheese and shrimp and then wrapped with crispy bacon. Delicious I tried all the beers. The menu was full with a blonde, a pale, a brown, kolsch, red ale and a few other fun season style beers. I really enjoyed the kolsch. A delicious and refreshing light beer with notes of toasted bread, corn and oats. Block North, although not even a year old, is doing things right. From the service to the food to the beer it's a must stop!
