Came here for Father's Day at 5pm. We used to go to Chaska but that closed. We had the Cajun Onion Rings, Cheesesteak Lucy, PB burger, Smashburger. They were all delicious and the waffle fries were great too. I asked for the Crooked Bloody spicy and it's probably the best one I've had and can't beat the $6.75 HH price! Service was ok, server was nice enough but seemed felt like we were on a short leash - like we had to give our order & preferences in a particular way or she won't get it. Ambiance was as expected for a burger place, will go back cos it's one of our go-tos. Hubby got his burger free for Father's Day! read more

Fun bar-food place. Lots of seating and good for large groups. Lots of fun burger choices - we got the PB Bacon Burger and the Lucy. Lucy was a bit raw but all the Lucy are made to medium. The seasonal salad was delicious. Prices not bad! Service was super friendly. read more

Good service - our server Miranda was very nice knowledgeable, helping us navigate standard. The vibe and decor were good - imma sucker for big spaces and lots of tvs..... The food? I enjoyed the flatbread (BBQ chicken - sans the meat) as it was very satisfactory. The nachos? Not so much. They were uneventful, not enough cheese, bland, boring. Not the worst, but I was expecting more toppings. Perhaps the meat and lettuce would have made all the difference ‍, as I got them without meat and lettuce. That was the only downside to an otherwise good experience. Big parking lot - always a plus for me. Quality desert. A little overpriced, but decent experience overall read more

Really enjoyed my burger and salad out on the patio on a warm summer night. Service was excellent and friendly. Ambiance is outdated inside, but the patio area is beautiful, and bugs were minimal since the patio is high off the ground. The food was good, I especially enjoyed the Smokehouse Stacker Juicy Lucy Burger. It's the Lucy of the month; a gooey cheese-filled burger patty topped with pulled pork, habanero jack, haystack onions, sautéed onions, mayo and drizzled with a bourbon molasses sauce. I chose a side of spinach and strawberry salad with feta cheese and a light vinaigrette dressing; it was delicious too! The inside looks like it hasn't been updated since 1990, and there was an older crowd looking like they were enjoying a game of bingo and playing pull tabs. But since I dined outside, I didn't mind. read more

Great spot to watch a Vikings game! Raffles, pull tabs, and good bloodys! Your classic Minnesota bar but family friendly and plenty of space. Stop in for your next game day outing. I got the grilled clubhouse sandwich - pretty good! read more

Excellent service by bartender, who was covering the whole place at 3pm. Very pleasant and attentive. French dip - 1/3 fat. Meat was tender, but had to peel off much of the fat to be edible. Either meat or au jus was super salty. Beef barley vegetable soup - good but very salty. Walleye dinner - top fillet was excellent, light and crispy as expected. Bottom fillet was a sodden mess. The excess oil from the one on top had soaked through the batter all around, as well as into the fish. No amount of lemon juice and tartar sauce could save it. To the credit of the server, he took $10 off and shared feedback with the kitchen. Excellent giant tots! We were here last year about the same time of day and had a great meal. We've been meaning to come back, and today was the day. Disappointing compared to our first time here. read more

Well, we don't need to go here again. While it is technically "handicapped accessible", it is just barely. Took my elderly father here for lunch one day. He uses a walker. There is a ramp to get into the restaurant, but it so steep and long that my father had a hard time getting up the ramp and into the restaurant. Once we were inside the food was average at best. The lighting was a bit dark for lunch, and the service wasn't great either. Overall a very mediocre experience. read more

I absolutely love this place! The service is out of this world and the food, while extremely tasty, is very affordable. It also doesn't hurt that there's a casual atmosphere and we can play a little bingo when we're done with our meal. read more

Wow, 4 times I've been there, bad services all the times. This time, I'm brought my investors colleagues, we ordered $99 worth of liquor, and was told that we are toooooo drunk to be at their establishment. $99 for 3 people, for 5 hrs, and too drunk? Thats F-ing racist location. Yes, I'm Asian, friend is white, and other friend is Mexican. Racist location and bad service. read more

This Crooked Pint is a solid option for consistent food in the area. The menu is pretty standard - nothing too exciting, but plenty of options. I typically order the special of the day because it's always a good deal! The Friday fish fry is the best. Happy hour pricing is great, too. Non-special menu pricing is a little steep for what you get. The tap list is great, and the bar area is large. I've never had to wait for a table. They've also got a small patio. My favorite part about this restaurant is the staff. They're always very friendly and fast. The service makes for a nice, local atmosphere. It's a come-as-you-are establishment that makes you want to stick around for a couple extra beers at the end of the night. They've got a huge parking lot, and they run shuttles to events at Xcel Energy Center! I've taken the shuttle to Wild games and highly recommend it. read more

I have been to this restaurant three times when visiting the area. I could go four stars, but had to settle on three. The quality of food is ok, but of the meals I have had it was pretty average. Staff is great and the drink choices are also great. It is also a good choice for the area it is in, as there are not a lot of options that I have found nearby. All said, I would still recommend. read more

Stopped here before the Wild hockey game. They run a shuttle bus to the games. They have a burger deal for $7.99 before the games. Kona also special priced. Great service! Good location, easy in and out. Typical bar atmosphere but they also have a dining room and there is an enclosed porch like area that is quieter and nice. read more

The Nashville 'hot' chicken sandwich was meh at best, there was really no hotness to it, but what saved my meal was that I spent the extra $2 to get garlic Parmesan fries instead of regular fries and that hit the right cords in my tummy. There were some good drink specials advertised while we were there like $5 pitchers during Twins game but since I went there during lunch hours & in a work related gathering, there was no drinking for anyone ;) I'll go back in a couple of weeks and try the Lucy since they really were touting that on the menu and if it is better than the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, I'll up the stars to 5. But one thing for sure, definitely getting the parm fries again! read more

Worst service ever. Not great food either. The waiter would walk by and not ask us if we ever wanted anything else. It took over 2hours to get lunch. Juicy Lucy was not juicy or runny. We had to ask 3 times for the bill. Finally after chasing down a manager we got it. So disappointed read more

The food is delicious! I had the chicken pot pie and wow was it packed with flavor! So much chicken, potatoes, and veggies. Very savory and great for the cold weather. We also had the dry rub wings let me say by far the best wings I have had in a long time! Service is great and very helpful! Ambiance is bar and great vibes! read more

Parking lot is huge and I had great memories of the old Champps in Maplewood from back in the day. This place has way better food and drink selection and I will be coming back for sure. They have such a variety of Lucy burgers (see menu pic). I had the French Dip Lucy with Au Jus. A mix of their classic Lucy and prime rib and definitely worth ordering. I also got the mashed potatos and that was worth trying. It has a bar, pull tabs, patio, lots of tvs and a full menu of local brews on tap. read more

Food was good n service was excellent Pleasant, wide open area to hang out with friends while eating . We'll be back ! read more

Stopped in for a late work lunch and tried their Burger Special, the Smokehouse Burger. It was delicious !!! Perfectly cooked, I saw a review where they had an over cooked burger, this one was on point ! Now the fries were a disappointment, they were either leftover from earlier or just sat too long ? They did correct it and brought me fresh fries very quickly. They have a nice bar so I'll come back when there's a game and enjoy a cold adult beverage and try another burger. read more

Meh to the extreme. I ordered the Mad Pepper Lucy with waffle fries. The Lucy was small and either the stuffing cooked out or it was way understuffed. It had hardly no filling. The burger meat tasted more steamed than fried, and it was unevenly seasoned. The first bite was overseasoned and everything else was bland meat wise. They do not cook their waffle fries to order. They had all the hallmarks of sandbagging: luke warm, no crunch at all, and no seasoning. None. If I wanted this quality of food, I would have saved a few bucks and gone to McDonald's. Saint Paul has too many great burger joints to waste my money on mediocre food. I am one and done. Save your time and money. read more

Always a good energy as soon as you walk in the door. The staff is friendly. The food is all good, haven't had a bad bite yet. At this location they also offer shuttles to events at the Xcel Center. For $5 you get a ride to the event, dropped off at the buildings doors and picked up after the event outside the same doors. When you get back to Crooked Pint trade in your ride ticket for a free beer. Ps. You might want to call to check on what events they are going to from the Wild and Frost hockey games to concerts. Hope to see you there. read more

We had a great experience here. Juicy Lucy's were delicious! Our server Reagan was awesome!

Second visit (lunch) on Tuesday, 06/20/23. My wife had chicken tacos, and I had Asian Pork Tacos. Both entrees were generous portions, and delicious. And our server (Tony) was top-notch! Definitely would recommend eating here. read more

Wow, very good. Let's speedrun this: food, very good. Not that hot when you get the food but the food is delivered pretty slowly. 7/10. Service: Nice staff, and they take time plus, not short tempered. But they take around 30 minutes to get your food so that's a down. 7.5/10. Finally, the Ambiance. It's not too loud in the restaurant like a school cafeteria, they also have T.V.'s that show stuff but I can't hear the T.V.'s. 9/10. I'd like to add, they have arcade game things. The games are very fun, one of them is a deer hunting game! That gives it a plus. In short, Food: 7/10 Service: 7.5/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Overall: 7.75/10 Good job! read more

Felt like a burger and fries kinda of night. Stopped here, was greeted quick and with friendliness. Once we were seated and upon viewing the menu I remembered crooked pint was in "the best of twin cities" several times. Awarded best of juicy Lucy and tater tots! The juicy Lucy was fabulous and the red tater tots were a nice surprise. Made in house with lots of flavor. I wish we lived closer, we would definitely dine there again. read more

The service was slow despite the place not being busy, and the food was just average. On the positive side, they offer pull tabs, bingo, a wide selection of drinks, and ample parking. read more

After having a good experience with the downtown Minneapolis location I decided to try this location (closer to me) for lunch through Door Dash. I tried their turkey club and some poutine. The poutine was insanely salty. It was the gravy. Of course I dumped it all over the fries before tasting it and it made the whole plate almost inedible. The club was ok but it was a little light on fillings. It was the traditional triple decker style but there was more bread in each bite than anything else. Overall, not the worst experience I've had at a restaurant but not the best. The delivery order was correct and arrived on time. I might give it another try in the future. read more

Amazing place all around. Great date night place to take the significant other. One of the best places in the cities

I was quite pleased with my dining experience here. It was much better than the service at their Sioux Falls location. The Vikings game day specials are tough to beat. My fiancée & I ordered boneless wings, a burger with fries, & a pitcher of beer for all under $20! Matt is a great bartender. Crooked Pint has a popcorn machine! It's actually good popcorn too! read more

Great hostess- who answered the phone who took my order over the phone- same gal who greeted me when I arrived to pick up the Oder as well. So friendly and helpful. She remembered all my xtra's and sides of this and that- extra napkins and utensils thank you thank you thank you. Our food was fantastic - fresh- hot and delicious. Was my first visit here. Austin, TX is now my home since I moved from St Louis Park, MN in 1999. However, with aging parents, Mpls is a frequent flight now and I will be back. read more

Awesome food and service. Love the new mini corn dogs. Burgers fresh not frozen. French fries hot and crispy

Just updating from my original post, I have been back twice and both times have been very enjoyable. I can tell that the general manager is serious about customer service. A lot of the issues I had from my first visit I see were not an issue this time. The only reason I will not give this establishment 5 stars is because the hostess was a bit grouchy, didn't seem to enjoy his job very much. I also seen a manager come out and inquire about a dirty table and it was cleaned off right away. It feels good to know that while no one is perfect, they strive to be as good as possible. Kudos to the GM and her staff, I will be back soon to try something new, variety is the spice of life. read more

Came in at closing and bartender was great, food delicious and nice neighborhood spot.

Keep giving this place another try. Mostly because they have good beer specials, and pre-plague I used to go there regularly for a night cap with my wife and a friend. Pretty much the only thing I've tried from the menu that was a good meal was the Reuben. Gave the "beef stroganoff" a try a few days ago, and I actually threw out the leftovers. Burnt hamburger with elbow macaroni, mushrooms, and some sort of gravy with a lump of sour cream on top. Nasty. The totchos are a pretty good app to share when you're there for beers. Otherwise, you may want to have dinner elsewhere before stopping by. pluses: friendly staff, plenty of space inside, and a nice deck. minuses: I've tried almost a dozen menu items, and except for the ones mentioned above, it's not a place to go to eat. Get a beer and some totchos. A pleasant evening. read more

Love how spacious this restaurant is. I hosted a bridal dinner here and have since returned to try their other dishes. I love the chicken pot pie and bloody. read more

I don't really know how to start this review, as I think my experience was one of a kind, well I hope to think it was just that. I've never been here before, and I was excited to try it for the first time on Thursday evening. It was a friend's birthday (JT). TT, JT, and I drove together, and the parking lot was full, which I thought was a good thing; it means a lot of people like this place. We get inside, and we sit down. Now, we were also meeting JT's parents for this birthday Dinner, and his Aunt. It was a nice time; we talked, laughed, and just had a nice evening celebrating a friend. When we sat down everyone started with a beverage. I don't drink, so I ordered a soda, everyone else ordered an adult beverage. As we were looking over the menu, the drinks arrived. Well, 4 of the 6 drinks arrived, mine not being one of them. After a bit, the 5th drink arrived again mine didn't come. Okay, let's set that aside, shall we. Next circulation of the waitress, we ordered food and everyone had gotten something different. A few more beverages were ordered, and finally a waitress said to me, "Oh sweetie, did you want something to drink?" I just replied, that I did order a soda, but it never came. She apologized and after another 5 minutes, I was brought my soda, when others were getting their 2nd or 3rd drinks at the same time. This definitely made me feel uncomfortable. TT being my friend made a comment about how I was the only "brown" person at the table, so maybe it had something to do with that. I laughed and told her to stop, because I didn't think that at all. It was just a mishap. No harm, no foul. After a bit of time, the food started arriving, first JT's Aunt, and mom got their food, and then TT's food arrived. On another circulation of waitress coming out with food, JT and his dad's food arrived. I sit there with nothing. I usually don't say things when I experience service like this, because I don't want to seem rude, pushy or petty, but after a decent period of time, TT noticed I didn't get my food yet, and then JT's mom chimed in as well. I don't want to believe it was because of my skin color, however, regardless of how busy it was or wasn't I was the only one out of 6 people in the party who multiple times didn't experience normal service from this "nicer/fancier" establishment. *** I know I said I don't want to think it was because of my skin color, and I'm not saying it was, but I definitely felt like it Thursday evening. I don't like making things more uncomfortable or awkward, so I probably won't go back to this place, maybe I will try a different location. The food was actually pretty good. I enjoyed my veggie burger and soda, once they were brought to the table. Overall, I would say maybe try the Crooked Pint when you have a bit more money, as things were a little bit more expensive, but maybe don't go to this location. I'm not saying you will have the experience I did, but I also can't guarantee a great time. ***The waitress did say she was going to comp my meal, and beverage, but I will admit I don't know if that did or didn't happen as JT's father paid the bill. read more

We came here last night about 6:30 for dinner. We were told the dining area was closed so we sat in the bar area (odd because I assumed 6:30 was still considered dinner time). There seemed to be a lack of communication among the employees and manager because eventually the manager re- opened the dining area. Service was very slow. Our server was very nice and friendly but seemed like she had a lot of other things she was in the middle of. I also noticed the manager and servers seemed to play more on their computers than actually helping customers. The food was pretty delicious though. I had a juicy Lucy and garlic parmesan fries. They were so good. There was an extensive beer list too, however no one really knew what the rotators were. I had never come here before because the reviews were sub par but my husband made me come. I probably will not go back, unless I'm craving those fries. They were seriously the best. read more

I thought I would give this place a try since I was around the area and wanted a burger to eat. Plenty of parking space available and I arrived around 3:30 pm on a Friday; really quiet and slow. I asked for a table for two and they put me in a booth really close to the back near the games. Out of the others that was placed near my section, we were the furthest away. It took about 25 mins or so for our food order to come out. In total, they only checked with us about 3 times. I ordered the chili Lucy with just regular fries and my friend ordered the jalapeño Lucy with sweet potato fries ($3 extra.) I had high expectations that the burger was going to be delicious! However I'm a bit disappointed. Although the burger looks amazing, there wasn't anything particularly special about the chili Lucy. My friend noted that she didn't taste any jalapeño in her burger, it wasn't spicy to her. I did end up finishing my burger and fries even though I didn't think it was all special. In total, my burger and fries cost $13.75. I'm a bit hesitant if I would comeback to try other things on the menu... however that could change. I'll update if I ever come back to this location. read more

I wasn't blown away by my experience here, but it wasn't bad either. We were able to get a table for six right away on a busy Saturday night. Our waitress was friendly and made good recommendations, but wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. I drank a couple of beers and found myself dry on both beer and water for a while before she came around again. Expect a diverse menu for an American bar. I ordered the chicken tacos. The tacos themselves were well portioned and pretty tasty. Good value for the money, though the chips on the side were stale. The beer menu was a little plain, which was disappointing as someone who likes to try the latest and greatest in local craft beer. We enjoyed ourselves as a group overall and might come back in the future. If the food quality improved and the waitress was able to check on us more promptly, this could be four or five stars. I realize it was busy, but the ability of the servers then can really separate the best from the rest. Enjoyed the space and friendliness of service but the food quality, beer menu and attentiveness of service need to improve to take this place to the next level. read more
