    I had wanted to try this place for quite some time and finally the opportunity arose! We went in and Friday around 5pm so had about a 35 minute wait which wasn't bad. Once we were seated or server came over promptly and got us started on drinks. All 3 of us tried specialty drinks, I don't remember what any of them were called, but mine was good although incredibly sweet! I got the spicy noodles with steak and it was amazing! I have a MN pallette so I asked for none of the spicy peppers and they're was zero spice at all. The steak was cooked too order and it was spot on and oh so yummy!! My friend got the birria pizza which was good but did have some spice to it. And my other friend got the sea bass. Both really loved their dishes as well. Sitting up front waiting, the restaurant was beautiful, but we got sat way in the back which gave more "I used to be an office building" vibes and all of their extra chairs etc stacked along the wall. At the price point if this place is think I didn't expect to see that, but it didn't make the food taste any less. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

    Margie's is a great local spot for brunch! There is a great variety of breakfast options and you have to try the MKC potatoes! Always have a great experience at Margie's and their food is always made with high quality and pride!

    Margie's was so perfect for our girls' brunch today. The Bloody Mary was more than delicious, and the group ordered a variety of food that all was more than impressively yummy! Avocado toast, French toast, burger, margarita pizza and the mimosa flight! Service staff was so friendly and very quick. We will definitely be coming back again!

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant for quite a while and finally got the opportunity tonight. Even though we did not have reservations, we were seated right away. I ordered the salmon with a fig glaze. My friend got a salad. I took a bite of my salmon and immediately realized there was something very, very spicy on top of the salmon which was not advertised! Granted, I am Norwegian. In my world, ketchup is a spice! I wish I had known the salmon would have spicy items on it, as would have requested they be on the side. After I stopped breathing fire, I was able to taste the salmon and it was good. We also got dessert of the cookie sundae. It was also very good. However, I saw other people getting cookies at their tables, but we did not? Are the cookies only for people who don't get dessert? I would return to Margie's but will make sure to ask if it is served with anything spicy next time!

    I just heard about this place and it is sooo good!! 10/10 recommend for someone who is craving a nice burger or pasta. I've gone here during the happy hour (which is a great deal $9 for hh) and once during dinner. All the workers are very fast and attentive. I love that everything is made from scratch kitchen and they also gave a cookie at the end. My favorite from the menu would have to be the smash burger- upgrade to sweet potato fries and margie's exceptionale pizza. I also got a $7 cocktail. There is so much more I would love to try, so I would def come back. Plus, there's plenty of parking and there's live music every Thursday night!

    Service at the start was horrible. Waited 20 minutes just to order drinks. We came at 1:30 pm on a Saturday. Pizza was okay, not the best. Pepperoni with bacon pizza I would give 2/10. But came home and threw it in the air fryer then it became a 8/10. Definitely a hit or miss with the pizza. Someone came up to me when I was trying to leave after sending in this review. The GM talked to me, I will make it clear they did not ask to make a new pizza. All they did was apologize for the mistake. This was my first time going here and will be the last.

    This was my second visit to Margie's. Went for brunch with a friend. Margie's has an open kitchen and a very large dining room, because of this the noise level is a bit higher, but not bad. Our server was friendly. We both ordered the tostados, mine with salmon and hers with chicken. This is a multi-layered dish with tons of flavor. The salmon was cooked perfectly and just a nice hint of spice. Coffee was very good. They also have a full bar and some fun drinks.

    Popped in for a quick cocktail and lunch. Sat at the bar with a gf and were attended to pretty quickly. We both ordered the chilaquiles...I had a Bloody Mary, she had a grapefruit drink. My bloody was very tasty but the skewer had old dry cheese on it. The chilaquiles were super fresh and so amazing. The eggs on top were perfectly cooked and the salsa verde was delish. One thing that was odd. The bartenders and servers were concocting new drinks and were doing heavy sampling of the drinks. Didn't seem appropriate or ok, but maybe it's acceptable there? In the end, food was great and I do recommend.

    burger fries and chimichurri dipping sauce
    Bob M.

    Came here tonight to have a great dinner and listen to some music. I ordered the burger which was done to perfection, juicy and delicious, loved the dipping sauce for the fries, the waitress said it was their most popular. My fiancé had the fettucinni alfredo and the noodles were thick like home made and sauce was spot on with spices. Always a chocolate chip cookie on them for dessert. I had an IPA that was out of this world and my dinner date ordered a flavored lemonade which she loved but the menu had the price at $4.00 and it rang up on bill for $5.00 waitress said, nope it's $5.00. They need to update that on their menu then. Should have honored the menu price, thought that was a little odd. But still love this place!

It was a bit of a trek through rush-hour traffic from our hotel but so completely worth the trip. Discretely located through a door marked only by a red light above it we were warmly greeted by gentleman behind the hardware counter. We were prepared to answer with the password to let us in but for some reason it wasn't asked. No big deal. You are then sent through a door into the beautifully dimly-lit space of the speakeasy. There is plenty of seating, with small tables and some booths. We were shown to our table and greeted by one of the great, friendly hostesses. Drinks are ordered directly at the bar with one of the attendants. You immediately pay for your order which will then be brought to your table. Different but really a nice idea. The music was also nicely unique, with a mix of oldies from the 50's and 60's. An old black and white James Cagney movie played silently on one wall. In terms of the cocktails I have to say these are some of the most delicious and finely crafted drinks I've enjoyed. I began with the Start Your Engine, a delicious gin-based drink. My wife had an absolutely fantastic smoked Old Fashioned, smoked in a large box for a minute or two. Wow! Probably the best we've ever tasted. My second drink was another gin cocktail, the Last Word, which I'd been wanting to try for some time. A fine gin supported by green Chartreuse and lime, this was simply sublime. Highly recommended. The bar and menu is quite varied and extensive, so you're sure to find something to your liking. The space has a great vibe and mellow ambiance. Sufficiently dark, cozy and very nicely and eclectically decorated. Service was outstanding and informative. Reservations are recommended. Like many such places you are "limited" to 90-minute timeframes, which sometimes seems like not enough but ultimately works quite well. The quality of the cocktails, space and service all make for a really enjoyable time. Well worth many visits.

The steak bites with their homemade blue cheese sauce was to die for melt in your mouth!! I even asked if we could buy some of the blue cheese sauce, she said no but that she would bring us another dish of it but she never did. My girlfriend ordered a cranberry mule drink, she was charged an extra $1.00 for the cranberry. We also ordered the goat cheese with sauces that were very delicious with an ample amount of crackers. We got the chocolate Ganache cake to share for dessert. But............ the waitress never took our empty dirty plates but showed up with the dessert with the mess on table, I asked for extra clean plates but she never brought them. Everything we ordered was very delicious, but as the night progressed our service got worse, we asked for the bill but she never came back to get our payment and we had questions my girlfriend walked it up to the bartender with our payments. 2 of us were paying cash and one a credit card and we were charged an extra fee of $5.18 for her using a credit card. That is when we saw the $1.00 charge for 1 piece 3/8" bread and the $1.00 for cranberry mule. Talk about nickel and diming. We would love to go back but unsure if I can get past some of these things. Also, now looking at the bill even closer, none of us had a mimosa and we were charged $8.95 for one.How did we miss that? All added up we paid $16.00 more than we should have. CRAZY!!

The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cozy and relaxed, thanks in no small part to the awesome tin ceiling-- it kind of gives this place a vintage charm you don't see often. The crowd is just what one would expect, just regular folks enjoying a libation and watching the Wild game. And they have pulltabs!! We settled in on a high-top table and ordered beers and our lunch.

The Guinness cheeseburger is an open-faced burger topped with fries, Guinness cheese sauce, and, of course, bacon. That was a bit messy, and was enjoyable, but there are some other items I will want to try before going back to that entree.

We are empty nesters, so it was just the two of us for lunch. We arrived just after 12 p.m. There was a line out the door, which we expected since it was Father's Day and Sunday lunchtime. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for a table, which we had no issue with. We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes because there was a table available on the patio. The weather was beautiful, and with summer being so short in Minnesota, we like to take advantage of it whenever we can. Our server came to our table shortly after we were seated, but it was long enough that we both had time to decide what we wanted before she arrived. I ordered the Texas Philly, and my husband had the brisket sandwich. We had to wait a while for our food, which we understood given how busy the restaurant was. Others around us were complaining about the wait, and those tables had a different server who was very apologetic about the kitchen being backed up. The hand-cut fries were piping hot and seasoned perfectly. It's so rare to go out to eat and get hot fries, let alone fries that are piping hot. That alone was worth the wait! My husband loved the brisket sandwich, and the Texas Philly was SO good--piled full of meat. We live in the south metro, but it was well worth the 30+ minute drive to get there. We'll definitely be back and will absolutely recommend J&J's to others!
