Runyon's deserves its spot on best wings in Minnesota lists! We are talking classic buffalo wings…read more- this spot isn't for some who prefers boneless wings or an assortment of sauces. This is a purist experience! Crispy skin, juicy wings! I love the ambiance here too! Plenty of booths and tables, but also a huge bar to sit at as well. In warmer months, there is outdoor seating in the adjacent parking lot. Additional details: For that pescatarian friend? Buffalo shrimp! Friend that doesn't like messy wings? Weird, but there are other items... burgers, hot dogs, pimento cheese dip for snackin' Parking: they have a pay lot adjacent to the building; otherwise, plan on street parking. On game nights (think Vikings, Timberwolves, Wild), it can be harder to get a spot.

The restaurant has plenty of TVs, making it a great spot to catch your favorite team and enjoy the game. The food was excellent. We ordered the Asian wings, Drunken wings, and tater tots, and everything was delicious. One thing that really stood out was that they serve whole wings, which is something you do not see at many sports bars. If you are looking for a neighborhood bar with a great vibe, good drinks, friendly service, and tasty food at reasonable prices, Ray J's is a fantastic choice. Whether you are there to watch the game or just grab a bite with friends, it checks all the boxes. What more could you ask for?

What I support for this establishment is less about its food but more about its message and the way…read moreit serves communities. Ever since 2020, the climate surrounding the George Floyd Square has changed dramatically, and this establishment has become an even stronger integral part of the community as the square itself had represented how the community thrives with its people. A lot of respect for the establishment from that perspective. In terms of food, I would say the soul food, which contained mostly sides, were the main highlight for me. The mac & cheese was salty enough. The fries were solid in a "you can't really go wrong with it" type of way. The candied yams had enough sweetness. The collard greens could taste better but standards must be lower when they're not homemade. I also enjoyed the catfish fillets as they were fried to preserve enough hotness and softness. A lot of what they served, they made on the spot, which was what may be causing longer wait for some. Meat-wise, a lot of items could use further improvement because they were too dry, such as the smoked wings and the beef brisket. The wings were dry to the point that they condensed and got extremely salty. The brisket relied a lot on the sauce and the existing fat on the meat for juiciness while the meat itself didn't have a lot of flavor or juice. As for the ribs, they had some seasoning, and tasted just fine, and weren't as dry. But I have had ribs in Texan barbeque places before and knew what "seasoned" ribs were like and therefore concluded that the ribs here were not spectacular. With all that said, however, I still will return here as often as I can because I love supporting this business. The person serving me was very hospitable and patient. I still got some pretty solid barbeque even if it's not Texas. Besides, outside just the barbeque food, the soul food was solid, like I had mentioned above.

The spot is casual, but clean and well organized! There's a bar with plenty of TVs for sports, and then other tables for groups of 2-6 people! I grabbed a spot at the bar since I was there by myself. The bartender was pretty casual, but efficient and friendly during my stay! I went with the classic Rush Hour 4, since that was what I had seen most on social media! It was delicious perfection! The fried rice is fresh, with some veggies to give it a bit of uniqueness. The chicken tenders are the star...crispy, juicy, lovely flavor! The addition of the Yum Yum sauce is lovely for the chicken OR the rice! I can't wait to come back and bring my friends!

I'll sit down and tuck into 8 of them. So tasty. Next time I might try the galbi or gangnam-style. So many flavours to pick from! If you're in a hurry, best to order ahead, as it takes about 15 minutes to prepare. In any case, well worth the wait. They do have some inside seating, and K-pop on a video monitor for your dining entertainment.

And unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a big market for it around here. But the food here was phenomenal. I especially miss the Burnt Ends platter with corn pudding. It's also too bad, because they used to just be a really popular, small spot just up the street. Maybe they will come back in some form.

Everything tastes the way they looked, it was on point! The place has its own parking spot, not big but enough. You pick if you want to eat inside or outside.

They were open until 11 and had a great beer selection with an inside/outside option. My wife wanted to watch some of the Stanley Cup so we opted for inside. We arrived around 830 and were able to gain a seat at the bar. Bartender was amazing. Very friendly and personable. Based on his interactions we decided to get chicken tenders (Nashville) and fries and a few more beers. Overall this is a great, inviting environment. I can't recommend visiting here enough. Great food and great beer options. This is a stop you don't want to miss! Definitely worth 5 stars.

Bricksworth is consistently the place I recommend people that are in the north loop to go if…read morethey're craving food, or want a really good beer and a great time. Seriously, I've probably had everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. They have an extensive collection of beers that will please anybody, with some of the best Hazys and best Sours in town, and also cocktails that work for folks that don't want a beer. The patio is superb, and although you sometimes share it with a passing train, it's tucked away and is a nice separation from the business of the surrounding north loop. I'd argue the wings are easily top 3 in the whole state, they're always crispy, and the monthly specials are clearly thought over and iterated on by talented chefs that want to try new and unique things. The pizza is also probably the best Detroit style in the city, try the Elote and you'll see what I mean. Staff is a hoot, they're all super nice, great to talk to, and have honest opinions about their own menu. Seriously, if you're anywhere near the downtown area, go here.
