Folks, the JazzMN Orchestra is a world class big band in our backyard. I can't believe that until…read morenow they were nowhere to be found on Yelp. I hope that by adding this review I might help at least a little to spread the word and attract an even wider audience to their performances. I've been enjoying their concerts since their first year (1999). They've moved around until finally settling on Hopkins High School as their venue of choice. I ask that you not roll your eyes and think of your old high school gym with the bleachers extended for a band recital. This is a very good concert hall with excellent accoustics, comfortable seating and clear sight lines. Guest artists over the years have included, among others: Gordon Goodwin, Arturo Sandoval, David Weckl, Phil Woods, Paquito D'Rivera, The New York Voices, Peter Erskine, Wayne Bergeron, Joey DeFrancesco, Bob Mintzer, Slide Hampton, Randy Brecker, Eric Marienthal, James Moody, John Clayton, Ernie Watts, Fred Sturm, Bobby Shew and Terell Stafford. They often feature local and regional artists as well. Do yourself a favor and check out this stellar ensemble. Then, once they've blown you away with their sound tell others. I want to see this group not just survive but thrive for years to come. Tip, the Lone Spur Restaurant just down the road stays open late for an after show dinner.

I think the bigger name bands play at the Main Stages however. Thursday night is a perfect night, not too busy. Friday night is still great but Saturday does get really really crowded so get your spots saved early on that day. I must applaud the Security Team this year. Last year I had a few pesty drunks bugging me, since I am a magnet for that type but this year, while sitting with my friend Ron, a drunk started bothering him, and within a minute, Security was right on it! Bam! Get out of here! It really made me feel good that they were very visible this year!! Thank you to the organizers who arranged this fine security group!

We were in town for a sporting event, and a friend had recommended this place for dinner. The best…read morething I would say is there's a very large patio and live music was happening, so if you just want a fun place with easy parking to come have some drinks and music, this place might be your place. Otherwise, we would only recommend one of the five tacos we tried - the pulled pork taco. The guacamole was runny and more like soup or a spread than fresh guacamole - it reminded me of Costco's and I expected freshly made. I would say the tacos are quite small in terms of portion/quantity of real ingredients. And all of the ingredients felt very sloppy, like huge chunks of onion in the steak fajita taco that were not cooked. It felt like all of the food had been prepared in a hurry, both the cutting and chopping of the ingredients as well as the way the tacos were sent out of the kitchen. There was way too much dry powdery crumbled cheese on top of the shrimp taco. There were almost no vegetables and no flavor in the backfire veggie taco. And the walleye was fried and dry and seemed like it had been reheated not made fresh. I also ordered a mango margarita (and my receipt shows it with the extra $1.50 charge), but they gave me a plain one - it was disappointing and since the food was not good, I didn't want to stay longer and request a new one.

Taco Jed = no notes…read more Ok, maybe one note which is that my take out meal didn't come with any napkins so be mindful of that. We didn't need silver ware, but it could be helpful. We were in town for a weekend kids sporting event we attended every year and a friend recommended Taco Jed. We ordered about one of every type of taco. If it sounds good to you, you will love it. We were absolutely famished, and two tacos a person was more than enough (plus chips of course) The rest of our tacos were put in the hotel mini fridge and warmed up the next day in the microwave and they were still better than anything else I've ever eaten in Rochester and probably most tacos I've ever had. The music was a bit loud on a Friday night, and the parking lot is a little weird with its angles.

I managed to hold off for an hour or so, then didn't remember to take a picture until I'd devoured half of them. Texture is perfect- crispy outside, almost fluffy inside. There were also good non-alcoholic drink options; I went with a very tasty ginger beer. It got fairly busy despite being a holiday weekend, but I never had to wait too long for a bartender. The venue's stage is smaller with a higher proportion of seating to dance floor than some spaces I've been in. The sound is good all over the room, and both of the bands I came to see put on a great show.

I had the ham and turkey chef salad. It was served in a tortilla shell with lettuce, tomato, peppers, pineapple, cheddar cheese, and taco chips with a sweet and sour dressing. It also came with garlic bread that was pleasant but not needed. This type of salad being in a tortilla shell was a little odd, but not bad. It was a little stale as well, but nothing concerning. The overall salad was well put together and everything else seemed fresh with plenty of the toppings. The pineapple was also an interesting choice, but I did not mind it. Will I go back? Yeah, why not.

My friend liked her Denver omelette, and we both liked the hashbrowns though they definitely were not your standard hashbrowns. Almost more like a smashed potato. Could have been crispier but they were cooked through and had a good taste. I truly enjoyed my eggs Benedicts which were made with spam instead of Canadians bacon. The spam was fried crispy and just straight up delicious. I might have to eat more spam!
