They no longer have the weekend wing deal (boo!) but the popcorn is still great. Recently did the Friday Fish Fry and found it pretty meh. Sad fish. read more

Despite the lower reviews, my boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try! We have passed it so many times, and their patio looks pretty inviting! Plenty of free parking and it was "seat yourself" when we came on a Monday afternoon. We decided to try out the patio. We loved it! Large, clean, and dogs are welcome. We noticed right away that there are lots of specials here! Based on that alone, we were already thinking we would be back! It took about 10 minutes for a server to come over, but that was ok given how beautiful the weather was! Our server was very friendly and polite! No complaints. The food: We both decided to get their special of $10 burger and fries/tots. Our only semi complaint was that we asked for "medium" oaks they came out looking well done. However, these burgers were still very juicy!! The tots were some of the best I've ever had! Sooo crispy!! The fries were average. The burgers had good flavors and toppings! Between good service, tasty food and an awesome patio, we will for sure be back!! read more

I have eaten at The Boulevard Restaurant and Bar, Coon Rapids, MN, about every couple of months, and have always been satisfied. On Fridays, I do love to find "a tasty, ol old-fashioned fish Fry" where I can eat some "not fishy, not greasy, solid white fish" that will satisfy my hankering for battered fish on Friday. The fish fry at Boulevard is pretty good. The batter is not flaky, which I do prefer to the solid-breading type; I actually love the tempura-type beer-battered. I originate from Wisconsin, and there, due to the Lutheran Lent and Catholic Friday restrictions on meat, a fish fry is prevalent everywhere, and they are all wonderful. If the Boulevard would change their fish fry to beer-battered tempura style, I would give it an "Easy Five" rating. read more

Service was flat out bad. Every time i've come it's been a ridiculously long wait. The food is good, but not good enough to wait for an hour each time I come. Never once was I checked on during the process of waiting for my food. read more

This place is the new Cheers! John and Terri treat customers like family. They listen to the customers and make things right if something doesn't go that smoothly. Love the food selection, love the patio! The popcorn is a HUGE bonus to get started read more

I've been to Boulevard a dozen times now, but its never my first choice. If you're looking for good food - you're at the wrong place. When you arrive, you will find that at least 50% of the time there is no host at the front, so you'll have to wait for someone to notice you. Each time we have been here for breakfast they are so understaffed and the food takes 30+ minutes to come out. You'll probably only see your server once or twice the entire time you're there and when you do they are scrambling to get to their next table. I feel bad for them. For dinner, its the same situation, but the food tastes slightly better. The bathrooms are also disgusting and are probably not being cleaned as often as they should be. I think I have tried Boulevard enough times now to where I can confidently give a 1 star review. Overall just not a good place, which is sad because it has so much potential. read more

We met here for our monthly family breakfast. It works well for us because we never know how many people are coming and dont need a reservation. They dont open until 9:00am sharp so its usually no trouble getting a table. We had good service even with a larger group that we had. Thank you. We both got eggs and bacon. I got an english muffin and my wife got her favorite rye toast. I think everyone was pleased with their orders. read more

The food was good, pico was homemade as was the chili. My husband was having a problem with his throat and choking. I walked over to the bar and asked for a water refill. She turned and said "Someone will be right with you." And then turned and walked away. Hence one star short. Our waitress was wonderful! read more

Very friendly staff and good food. Have gone once a week for three years and always feel satisfied.

Food is always great. Amber is a great server. Great attitude. You can tell she loves her job. Very nice to customers.

The experience definitely depends on what table you have, but overall good place with good service. I actually didn't mind the 360 bar, and bingo was off the hook that night so overall good atmosphere from the patrons around us. I'll stop in again when I'm back in the old neighborhood. read more

Food typically very good and quality menu items. Not always consistent. Mistakes leave the kitchen depending on the time of day. Fries can be overcooked. Sometimes way too greasy sandwiches. Sometimes perfect. Just like the staff. Some are extremely pleasant and delightful, others are little hobgoblins with the worst, too good for everyone, bad attitudes ever. There are some obnoxious rubes with low room temp IQ that has made me want to walk right back out. So this little gem is an odd one as it is always hit or miss. It's either really belittling and rude, or a complete pleasure. Good luck and hope you go on a good day. read more

Standard run of the mill "upscale" dive bar. Menu has nothing special just all standard bar food and American food options. Prices are reasonable and service was okay. read more

Went on Thursday for the All You Can Eat Ribs. Fall off the bone tender! I had BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. Had my fill! Will be back again! read more

Today was an overall great experience at BBNG. Our server Megan was top-notch from start to finish. She made sure our coffee was kept hot and the water glasses full. Between my guest and I we ordered the Boulevard skillet and the boulevard burrito. Both were Fantastic. Food was hot when delivered to the table and was done to our exact requests. Megan was engaging and made our overall experience that much more fun. Five stars to Megan and her service. Five stars on the food as well. I highly recommend BBNG. read more

This place was ok for a Friday night in coon rapids. They have popcorn. Food was ok. We sat in the dining, would be interested in sitting at the bar instead. read more

I love this place but tonight, they were off. I ordered the soup and salad combo (House salad with home made dressings were fantastic!) The potato soup was not even room temperature, our waitress never came over to ask how the food was until 15 minutes in and by then I just asked for a box and told her the burner must be turned off with the pot of soup as it was cold, she said oops. My dinner date ordered the black and blue burger, medium rare. He said the flavors were good but the burger was charred on one side and brown throughout, no pink at all. I will go back but very disappointed with last nights meal and service. Maybe even an offer to heat the soup up.?.?.? I brought it home but decided to throw it as I don't know how long it was sitting out when they thought it was being heated. The right thing for them would probably have been to take off the cost of the soup or at least discount it. read more

A great local bar & grill with lots of food options - a solid 3.5 stars. This was my first visit. I got an ice cold beer from the tap, an appetizer, a burger, and a dessert. I'd say that the food is mostly average or slightly above average. My fried pickles were overcooked and my burger was overcooked, not the way I requested. (I don't know why the server would ask and then the cook screws it up.) No big deal though, the flavors were good. My expectations weren't that high. Boulevard obviously makes an extra effort with a large menu and many food choices. They have specials too. In hind sight, I wish I had tried the pulled pork mac & cheese special. The table next to me ordered the special and it looked awesome - way better than my burger & fried pickles. The prices are all very reasonable. It won't break the bank if you want to hang out here to eat and drink. By the way, my server was awesome. I watched all of the servers flying around the large building & patio. They all seemed to be hustling and doing a good job. The place was super busy with more people filtering in while I was eating. This is really, really great to see after the COVID shutdowns. I would probably come here often if I lived close by. But if you're not from this area, frankly, it probably isn't worth the trip. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

I just would like to start off by saying the reviews on this place are way off in my opinion. Went here a few years back food & service was great then 2/25/21 I went on Yelp & read reviews cause I was meeting a friend here I was Leary about this place after reading reviews even though our1st experience was great. So we went & we had waitress Bre she was awesome she was amazing gave her honest input on food. I had the Reuben with tater tots & seasoned sour cream my friend had crispy chicken wrap with kettle fries. Food very fresh delicious service great they followed Covid -19 guidelines. I would highly recommend this place. Thanks Bre for you honest opinion on food & you recommendations!!! read more

We met here for our monthly family breakfast. They open for breakfast at 9:00 on Saturdays. The service and food has been good. We usually have a group of 8-10 and there is never a problem seating us. We plan to go there next month for our monthly breakfast. read more

The Friday fish fry is a joke the fish was terrible the tartar sauce was even worse. They did give you so many tater tots that it was a waste of food I will not be back read more

Breakfast was so so. Service was not good. Won't go back for breakfast any time soon.

Almost as good as it's Boulevard counterpart in the Circle Pines/Lexington area. Free popcorn, lots of open space (the patio was empty due to the cold weather), good food & service. read more

I noticed the additional seating, since there's more demand for outside dining, and so we stopped in yesterday, we ordered apps and a couple sammies, waitress quickly asks for choice of sides, we did not even have chance to eat the apps and our orders came, not much meat, bacon was cold, mayo was smelling bad, bun could have been toasted, very bad cole slaw, which I told waitress about how it was tasting old, as she suddenly laughed and went off to another table. When the bill came we charged extra for these sides, poor delevery since not having been told of extra charges, poor value for the prices, felt sick so had to go :-( Would not recommend this place for food. Boulevard Bombed it! read more

All their food is pretty good decently priced and they have 2 for ones every day on beer and bloodys and one liquor drinks. Definitely a good place to go read more

I really liked the seats on the patio. But the burger and fries were the best I've had in a long time. I had the cardinal burger. YUM! My son had the chicken Ceasars wrap. He said the chicken was juicy. My wife had the buffalo chicken wrap. She said it was really good. This was our first visit. We will be back! PS. This would be a great spot to watch the Saturday night cruise on the boulevard. Monday's are burger night. (Discounted burgers) We went on lucky Tuesday. They were doing bingo ! Free popcorn! read more

This place seems to be getting worse in the 6 years I've lived in this neighborhood. Food and service have gone way down. Always double check your bill, especially on kids eat free Sundays. For some reason I always get charged for the kids meal PLUS their kids soda, and then it seems like I'm inconveniencing them to redo the bill. Food is okay, but nothing special. The only draw is the drinks are strong and 2-4-1s and karaoke is fun. read more

Would never have been to Boulevard if I weren't taken there by friends. Real local bar with emphasis on sports, with plenty of monitors all over the place. Awesome menu with a great variety of dishes like, Pulled Pork Mac n Cheese. Had a few beers and really enjoyed the attentive staff. Very friendly place, no matter where you're from. Thanks friends for taking me here! read more

Food is good, as long as you only order what you like! Used to get it on game days, but the experience walking into the restaurant just for pick up is bad. Servers are not friendly and you have to wait at the bar until someone helps you get your pick up. Overall could be better. read more

Have ate in both locations food is great the weekly specials are always a ten. The all you can eat ribs night is great

Bad, very bad. It is what we ordered, but the cook should learn how to make it taste better or at least not gross. The waitress served the lousy food as she was supposed to. Thumbs up on service, but she maybe should not have served it. I guess it was her job. The food was awful and burnt. I think I won't go back. read more

During this past hockey season, this became a pre-game hangout for us and our friends. It is really deserving of a 4.5 star rating; however, the rating system doesn't allow for half stars. The restaurant offers a little something for everyone. Burgers, fish and plenty of options for those interested in appetizers or a full meal. Trying many things during the past seven months, I frequently picked the Friday night fish or the Hangover burger. I never heard a complaint about the food from anyone who joined us to eat. The tots are excellent! If you just want to meet up with friends, know it can get kind of loud in the building. The restaurant has a sports theme and many televisions for your viewing pleasure. Free popcorn and really good service may get you past all the noise. Meat raffles and two-for-one drinks (all the time) make for a good time too. Overall, a really good bar/restaurant with solid prices and a wide ranging menu. The establishment was also good early in the evening for couples with younger children read more

Food is always prepared the way you want it and you get it in a timely manner. Waitresses and waiters are always checking in to make sure we have everything or need anything. They have great monthly food specials an beverages. read more

Ate at the Boulevard Bar & Grill in Coon Rapids yesterday evening for a dinner, for the first time. March 25, 2019. Staff was very kind and friendly. Ambiance was nice. When I googled this place, a picture of a yummy juicy steak with a baked potatoe showed up. This is why we went. I wanted that steak. On the menu it said entrees were a choice. Yet, in scrolling through the menu I never saw steak or a single entree. We thought we'd try it anyway. No steak. No entrees. The steak is only offered on Wednesday's. My loss. I had to settle for a French dip. Only sandwiches and burgers to pick from. Not really want I would choose from for a dinner. It took a very long time to get our food too! I know it was taking longer than normal vexatious was getting ancy and actually contemplated leaving. Got my food. Put a French fry in my mouth and instantly, I mean instantly was disgusted. These were hands down the worst French Fries I have ever had in my life. They were so bland! No seasoning at all. Plain, dry and bland. There's something else about them I just can't find the word to explain it. They needed tons of salt and that didn't help any. My French dip was good. We probably won't go back there again, not even on a Wednesday to try the steak. Sorry. read more

Came on a Friday afternoon place has very few patrons. Order took quite a long time, especially considering we only ordered 3 burgers and fries. When the order finally came out two of the orders were the incorrect burger. It took about ten more mins to finally get the burger correct. I agree with other comments about the terrible quality of fries. These are the absolute worst fries I've ever had in my life. Fix yo fries fools! read more

We had kind of a bummer visit last Friday. We sat at the bar and I will say we were lucky, as seats seemed to be filling up quickly. They had two for one's available for rail drinks it seemed. I saw many people with mixed drinks but no beer. I ordered a whiskey ginger and got two, so that seemed to be the case. We asked for menus and it took about 20 minutes to receive them. We decided to do their Friday Fish Fry, as it is all you can eat and we had 2 hours to burn. Well, we ordered and about 40 minutes of not getting our food we asked if the order got put in. The bartender told us that yes it did and she would go check. She stated the kitchen was super backed up. I looked around and no one in the bar area had food...so I guess either no one ordered or no food was coming out. Then the people who sat next to us got their food way quicker than we did. She came out with our fish but told us the delay was due to the fries. We started eating our fish and the fries came out 6 mintues later. I timed it on my phone. I was curious at that point how long it takes to make fries. By the time we got everything ...we order two more fish sticks and called it quits because we had to get home. I've never waited that long for fish fry or any fryer food in my life. I don't think I'll be running back here anytime soon. read more

My husband and I LOVE this place! The jumbo wings are amazing and every time we've been here, we've had great service... Until today. I would've given 5 stars, but our server today took that last one away. I'm usually not one to say something negative on Yelp, but I feel as if this should be brought to the attention of this establishment. Our server named Kimberly S. was just awful. Horrible customer service in every way possible. I've been in the customer service industry for 10+ years and even if you're having a bad day, you never show it to the customer. She never smiled. Never said hi. Never once checked on us. Never cleared our table after. And dropped the check off without a word before or after. I can't recall the last time I've had such terrible service. I felt like she hated us. She ignored us at all costs. And it was slow. She had two tables to wait on. Ours and another couple. Other than that, based on the previous service we've had and the fact that we're addicted to their food, my husband and I will not stop eating here. So long as we don't get Kimberly again. read more
