Amazing food and definitely great customer service! I had no issue and very great atmosphere definitely will come back again!

I have now made multiple visits to this restaurant and I am more impressed each time. My wife and I have tried different dishes each time and each one has been great. This time I had one of the "Summer Specials," the Char Siu Pork Tenderloin ($22). This is a Chinese-style marinated pork tenderloin, which is grilled and served over jasmine rice with broccolini and Asian ponzu slaw. It looked an tasted great. My wife had the large K&R Chopped Salad ($18), which had green onion, bacon, tomato, dried cherries, caramelized pecan pieces and was dressed with blue cheese vinaigrette. She loved it. She also had a glass of the Meritage wine, which had a wonderful oaky and mellow flavor. Perfect. Normally it's $10 a glass, but Happy Hour dropped the price to $7, which was a bargain. As always, Kitchen and Rail has excellent is beautiful and appropriate for any kind of occasion, casual to elegant. The service is friendly and extremely efficient. I was again, truly impressed. read more

Had such a great experience at Kitchen & Rail! The atmosphere is so cute and inviting, and it's definitely a fun spot for a night out with friends or a date night. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and our service was amazing. There are so many things on the menu I want to try next time, but the Vietnamese pork belly was definitely a favorite! Everything was flavorful and came out quickly. Such a fun addition to Golden Valley -- we'll definitely be back! read more

I so wanted to like this place. The menu looked good, and it was close to home. Lovely ambiance, good atttentive service. And then the food. I ordered the blackened roughy. Greasy, salty, I had to stop at Walgreen's and get pepto bismol and am still nauseous. Never going back again. I could have cooked this meal at home. I think I may need to call in sick to work tomorrow! read more

I just want to add that I would not recommend coming here with kids (unless your kids have adult pallets). They were able to make a butter noodle but charges $11, which is over priced for butter noodle with goopy butter. The Caesar salad was good and fresh. The fries are not for me, double fried so they are very greasy and hard and flavorless. The onion rings have a nice batter but slightly hard to eat because the onion was sliced so thick that the batter was falling off. Still like the place, and I keep trying new things; hopefully they will have an appealing seasonal menu next season. read more

This place is always so busy when we drive by. You smell how delicious everything is when you're outside . Finally stopped by and it wasn't busy for lunch. The service is A plus, people are so nice and our drinks were never empty. The decor is so cute! You can keep looking around and theres so much to see. The food was what it smelled like and I can't wait to come back. At least for lunch prices it's worth it. I would say that if you want to get dinner call and make reservations. I overheard the hostess telling someone that they could not fit their large party that night. read more

Decided to check out Kitchen and Rail in Golden Valley, and overall, it has a stylish, upscale-casual vibe. They recently opened this second location in February, and we were excited to try some of their new seasonal spring menu items. The creamy asparagus pesto pasta was a standout--absolutely delicious. The bucatini was cooked perfectly and the sauce tasted fresh and flavorful. My only note is that I wish it had been served a bit warmer. We also tried the taco flight, which included hot honey ginger chicken with mango pico, lamb with cucumber verde salsa, and beef barbacoa with rojas and cilantro. Unfortunately, this was underwhelming. The tacos lacked flavor and didn't quite live up to expectations. For dessert, I was really looking forward to the "better than sex" cake, but it missed the mark for me. The cream topping had a strong espresso flavor, and since I'm not a fan of coffee, it wasn't enjoyable. For drinks, I had the "Toes in the Sand" mocktail (aperol, almond orgeat, pineapple, and lime). It was fresh and light, but I wish it had a bit more sweetness. The "Pink Buffalo" (ginger syrup, grenadine, lemon) was better--nicely balanced between tart and sweet. It was pretty busy when we arrived, so we ended up sitting at the bar, which we didn't mind. However, the service was a bit inconsistent. The bartender seemed a little frazzled and wasn't very attentive to us, yet was noticeably more engaged and friendly to the couple seated next to us. It wasn't a huge issue, but more consistency in service would have made the experience better. Overall, a mixed experience--great pasta, but some dishes and service could use improvement. read more

I've been here twice and both times were great. The service was great and food came out pretty quick. The first time I ordered the Vietnamese pork belly which was a 8.5/10. My most recent visit, I ordered the Joe Mac burger and it was a 8/10. The burger was juicy and tender and the fries were great. The bison chili was just ok. Definitely a spot to add to the rotation of restaurants that I live by. read more

We were very pleased to see the old Mort's Deli spot under construction at last. I was not familiar with Kitchen & Rail but did some online sleuthing and found this was a second location for them! High hopes. We stopped in for dinner the other night and overall liked it. It's a nice addition to the neighborhood, and we are just dying for more restaurants. We will definitely be back. Those who were familiar with Mort's may find it a bit disorienting when walking into Kitchen & Rail. They really did a full overhaul of the inside, building a beautiful curved bar, lining the shelves above the bar with about 30 kinds of whisky (yay!). The inside design features dark wood and floral patterns. It's the type of design I've seen at other restaurants (Pink Ivy in Hopkins comes to mind) but it is very classy and well done at Kitchen & Rail. A cool, chill relaxed vibe. It would be a great spot for a happy hour, a date or just a drink and a bite at the bar. We honestly had trouble deciding what to order. We loved that they have a pastrami sandwich called the Mort. I'm big on honoring history so that was a big tick for me. We ordered the grilled asparagus with hollandaise (on the seasonal menu), the cauliflower "burnt ends," I got the chicken picatta and he got the butter chicken. -The asparagus was beautuflly cooked - positively perfect. The hollandaise was good, but it wasn't really hot. It was kind of just gloopy in a ramekin. More the consistency of mayo than a sauce. But tasty. -The burnt ends were good and barbecue-y. -My chicken picatta was pretty tasty. I was kind of surprised that you only got one small piece of chicken and a big bowl of pastsa. But it was lemony and pretty tasty. I did notice that all of the capers in the dish had all like exploded and were mushy and spilling out of their shell or whatever it's called. I guessed that they added them early in the dish preparation and they just popped with all the heat. My only complaint about the dish. -Hubby said the butter chicken was good but he wanted an additional piece of naan. -My cocktail was fine. I was somewhat surprised to see they charged $5 for an arnold palmer, but whatever. Service was ... OK. A little slow and stilted sometimes but overall got the job done fairly proficiently. We'll be back. read more

The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the aesthetic of the place is a total 10/10. I could sit in this bar forever feeling like it's the cutest place on earth. Their dish ware is adorable and none of it matches and the vibe is so chic. I had the burger and the grease level was on point. Definitely a filling portion meal. Think smash burger vibes but a thicker waygu double patty on a fresh bun. It was delicious! My husband had the chicken sliders and the spice level was too much for me but right up his alley. I love that you can order multiple sliders to taste different ones and get a variety. We shared the fried pickles which were very good and crispy. I always hesitate ordering fried pickles at places bc nothing compares to the state fair IFYKYK but these were worth it. Aperol spritz - healthy pour Espresso martini - surprisingly good, so different from any I've tried so I was a little hesitant but it was very good and I'll definitely have it again. We went right around 11 for lunch on a Friday and as we were leaving it was starting to fill up pretty fast. Hoping this place performs well, it's a perfect date night for us, close by with good vibes. Only complaints are the prices, example: $10 for a draft Kona is a little steep IMO. read more

The hype on this place has been really awesome and I knew I needed to give them a try! So for date night I made reservations. I would highly recommend making the reservation! This is not an overly large establishment. There is plenty of free parking! Walk right up to the red door and be transported into a beautiful and unique decor set! The hostess was so lovely! We were seated right away and the waitress came fairly quickly with waters to start. My boyfriend got a beer on tap and I got a cosmo. Light, refreshing and the perfect way to start! We then got the truffle fries! Holy moly, these are some of the best ones in the twin cities for sure!! For dinner I got the famous filet mignon sandwich. I ordered it medium and it was mostly medium with some parts being well done. With that being said, it was tender. I would love to have had a little more flavor from the meat. My boyfriend got the Mort and it was stacked high with Smokey meat! He was a big fan!! We couldn't settle on just one dessert so we got the better than sex cake and the cherry kissed chocolate decadence. Both of them were phenomenal! I also got the espresso martini, which was very vodka forward. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark for me and I would not order it again. Overall this place was absolutely amazing and I would recommend it! read more

Checked out Kitchen and Rail for happy hour and it was a solid choice. The prices were actually really good for the quality of food you get. The lemon and dill in the chip dip was so good, and the sliders were actually juicy and not dry at all. My favorite was definitely that olive oil cheese dip thing, I'm not sure what it's called but it was amazing. Fried pickles were also pretty good. The vibe inside is cool and our server Lily was very sweet and made the experience even better. Definitely recommend. read more

What a great addition to Golden Valley Stopped by the bar on opening week, was mid busy, the bar has a great view of the kitchen and the cooks preparing food I was excited to try their espresso martini as I've heard it's pretty good but unfortunately they ran out of cold foam and tried to substitute it with heavy cream- which was not good at all but the bartender was awesome and switched the drink out for a really tasty Cosmopolitan The truffle fries were 10/10 they come with a bernaise sauce perfect appetizer The happy hour menu looks great- all the staff we encountered were super friendly and I can't wait to come back and try more items As it was opening week they had run out of a few menu items but I'm sure in a month things will run better ! The service here was great and that's why I'll be back read more

Staff was friendly and the decor was cute. The fried pickles were good. The pork sliders had plenty of meat but lacked flavor. The wings were huge and tasty.

The food, had it actually been hot, would have been ok. This was brunch, we were 1st in, really no excuse for cold poached eggs and cold cheesy hashbrowns. Cold clumpy hollandaise isn't good. I had to try twice to get the right beverage. My companion had it worse as she got a drink spilled on the table with no attempt to clean it up, get a new glass etc. Once the food was delivered, no check in to see if it was OK, which would have been our opportunity to tell them. Quite a while later, when a different person came to collect dishes, no one asked if it was OK. So we told them. Got an "I'm sorry" and our bill. My friend asked if I'd go back, I said No and she concurred. Felt like a practice run to me, particularly regarding the Service. read more

Awesome new spot in golden valley! Have done both lunch and dinner so pictures are across both as it is different menus. For lunch the ahi tuna bowl was good (light and fresh), however the filet sandwich was amazing! Dinner I loved the salmon and the pasta with meatballs. We tried the better than sex cake but wasn't my favorite. Super cute spot and can make reservations online which is nice. Service great and food comes out quick which is really nice. Got greeted by the owner Victor at dinner which was a thoughtful personal touch as the restaurant is still new! Will definitely be back read more

Market & Rail was a mixed bag, but there's a lot to like. The onion rings were exceptional--perfectly fried with great fried chicken flavor. The mix-and-match sliders were a hit, especially the pork belly and chicken option. The Vietnamese pork belly with jasmine rice was excellent and well portioned. On the flip side, the "Whole Damn Chicken Wings" felt like a bad industry joke--just two mediocre wings served on a large pan. Overpriced and underwhelming. There are also some odd menu notes, like charging for ketchup, which adds to a bit of a disconnect--similar to the wings situation. The bar is a strong point, with great craft beers, creative cocktails, and even cask wine options. The space has cool decor and an eclectic, fun menu, but the noise level can get intense with the concrete and high ceilings. Overall: good food in spots, some misses, and a lively atmosphere--just a few tweaks away from being great. read more

Just tried the new location of Kitchen and Rail! Everything we had was super yummy! We started with the smoked salmon dip that came with ritz crackers. This was good, but small. We tried their Joe Mac Burger, two patties on a sesame bun with a yummy truffle butter sauce! This was a pretty good burger. We also had the filet sliders! These were awesome! They did come with a lot of béarnaise sauce. If you're not a sauce person get it on the side. Our sides were fries, broccolini, and root vegetables, all pretty solid. Broccolini did need some salt and pepper. For dessert with had the better than sex cake, this was so delicious. Very moist cake with Carmel and chocolate and had a coffee whipped cream on top. Parking was challenging as it is in a populated area, but it was not too terrible. The inside is surprisingly small but had a huge charm to it! Bar is in the middle with an open kitchen view behind it. The service was great! I definitely will be going back! read more

It's newly open and the service was great and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I ordered a Lemonade and a mocktail version of the pink buffalo which was really nice. I ate the Vietnamese pork belly as my entree and I must say it was the best pork belly I've had. It sweet glaze mixed with the peppers was perfect. I would just suggest they cook the rice a little longer because it was a little too hard for me to eat it. I had the donuts for dessert and it was perfectly warm and my favorite topping of the two options was the whipped cream. read more

The bar area was pleasant although attention level was not as I'd expect. (And why leave my credit card out on the bill and wonder why they aren't running the charge? If I was in a hurry I'd whine, but I'm mainly now just testing to see if they care!)(Update: 9 minutes.) Lemon Chicken Piccata would have been a great choice, but the flaw was using (I'm presuming) injected chicken - which leads to rubbery meat. (If that's not why, I don't know why but it was definitely rubbery!) The sauce was quite tasty so I'm going to finish it. But I'd want to know if they are doing better with the protein before I'd order again. The Old Fashioned was great. No baloney. And the good cherries! I'm going to return as this looks like a comfortable place that is good for a weeknight meal at the bar. Let's give them a second chance. read more

Had our 50th wedding. Anniversary with 20 people and the staff did an outstanding job. The food was delicious and we had a beautiful quiet room. Highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner.

I couldn't wait for this to open. Obviously many others thought so too, cause it appears to be the new place to see and be seen. It's party time here. A whole different vibe than Eagan. The management will be familiar, Nate and Lynn. The menu is the same with a few differences, i.e. no soup at night. We shared a large Caesar salad. I got anchovies on my end. We both got blackened orange roughy because it's lent. A huge portion complete with root vegetables that actually include potatoes. I love the oil they're cooked in and are totally fork tender. Someone who knows how to cook vegetables. It is a schlep from the TC but I plan on coming out when the menu changes for the seasons. I think it's cool that it's open for lunch everyday. It's in the Golden Valley shopping center. So you can get a lot of other things done. For opening week they have their act together. read more

First off, the service was wonderful! However, the food quality was not the best this day. 3 C's Naan had day or two old dark meat only chicken, very soft cashews, and mealy tomatoes, but it did have a delicious herby flavor. Sadly, the tuna melt's tuna salad was VERY salty, the lettuce was browning, and had more of those mealy tomatoes. The kettle chips that came with both sandwiches tasted straight from an opened bag in a humid kitchen - not exactly stale but no longer crisp, either. Hopefully they can pay more attention to ingredient quality and freshness! read more

Well, I was looking forward to trying this new neighborhood restaurant. And overall, the food was just OK wasn't that good. First of all, we got there on time for a reservation and was promptly seated. However, nobody ever said anything about a 90 minute limit on the table. I guess we're going back to Covid times. And reservation was made online and that was not told to my friend at the time she made them. So we were seated and service was a little on the slow side, but we had a good drink and an appetizer. The cauliflower was delicious. That was probably the star of the show. Our order of two chopped salads one with salmon and one with chicken and my other friend had an order of sliders. Food took a while to come out, but it was OK. The salad was iceberg, lettuce and not much else in and my friend had asked for dressing on the side and that wasn't . But the salmon on top of my salad was delicious. The chicken on hers was dry and the sliders were dry. Before we were even halfway done eating, our waiter came over and put a check down. We were like wow. We were celebrating a birthday and had not even gotten to my friend's birthday dessert. We were told there was a 90 minute limit on the table and they had reservations going so we needed to wrap it up. After speaking to the manager, this is their policy and that was that we canceled our dessert and we left never to return. The food was very subpar compared to other restaurants in the area. The service was was very friendly at first but quickly became quite rude. I don't know why we left him a good tip. We probably shouldn't have but I'm just a tipper and maybe he was just having a bad day. You never know what somebody is going through. So yeah, cute place could have great potential but when you're going out with friends, you want to be able to eat and maybe have a dessert. Literally you could stay at McDonald's longer. read more

Service was great. The cauliflower burnt ends were delicious. 10/10 The Brontosaurus rib was disappointing. Smaller than I've had other places, no bark, no smoke ring, not tender fall off the bone. Still tender but had to be cut with a knife. Potatoes were very bland and seemed like an after thought as a side. 6/10 Chicken slider was a little dry but otherwise fine. 7/10 Pork belly slider 3/10. No sauce, dry, not cooked well. Pretty sure it was supposed to come with a sauce but ours did not. Part of the pork belly had cartilage or not fully rendered fat so had to spit out a big bite. Overall, kind of disappointing when cauliflower is the best thing you eat for dinner. read more

Obsessed with Kitchen & Rail in Golden Valley. The vibe is immediately on point - elevated, stylish, and inviting without trying too hard. The cocktails are a blast: creative, bold, and dangerously easy to drink. But let's talk about the charcuterie board-absolute showstopper. Top‑tier meats, rich and creamy cheeses, and that cherry compote is next‑level: sweet, tangy, and the perfect contrast that makes every bite hit harder. Beautiful, indulgent, and ridiculously good. Everything here feels thoughtful, polished, and fun. Come for the cocktails, stay for the food, and plan to come back. read more

We are so happy to have this restaurant in Golden Valley! I've been twice now. For lunch, we had the Joe Mac Burger (it's huge!) and the Ahi Tuna Bowl. Both so tasty and the portions for lunch are gigantic! When I went for dinner, I had the Pork Belly bowl and I'd get that time and time again! I wish i had a photo of it, but it was beautiful, crispy and slightly sweet pork belly with a bit of heat over rice. They also have a great wine selection. Highly recommend! read more

First time here on Mother's Day! My husband and I had differing opinions on the ambiance and menu choices. I loved how it was all eclectic, but he was confused. Food we agreed was delicious.

Hmmm. The decor is cool. They serve wine in carafes which is different in a good way. The food is nothing special. I ordered what the server recommended as her favorite dish and it was boring.
