Strips and Texas Toast
Lily D.

It was the first time visiting and the staff was proactively helpful in explaining the menu. The chicken and fries were seasoned well, they are not kidding with the spice. But at least they sell Sebastian joes by the pint.

"Texas Toast" box. 3 chicken strips, fries, two slices of Texas toast, coleslaw, pickles, and Coop sauce. Spice level "Mini Coop."

Last night was my first time trying Nashville Coop. We placed a to-go order for the Strip Box and the Texas Toast box plus a pint of the Créme of the Coop ice cream. The chicken here is outstanding. It's so nice to have that real chicken meat texture that tears apart instead of something more ground up with filler in it. It's juicy and tastes high quality plus the spices coated on the outside elevate things nicely. I heard the food can be pretty spicy here so I played it safe with the "Mini Coop" spice-level, which suited me well. Just the right amount to feel flavorful but the spice doesn't last once I take a bite or swig of something else. My sister can't handle spice at all so she opted for the "MN Nice" which she actually said was still kind of spicy for her. So take that as you will if you're not a fan of spice! Their special sauce is good and might remind me of Raising Cane's, though I haven't eaten there recently. The French fries and coleslaw kind of felt standard, to be honest. But I really liked the Texas Toast! Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the pint of ice cream. My wife picked up the order and didn't realize she should have looked for it in the bag. When I called the restaurant about the missing pint, they were incredibly apologetic and offered to make up for it with a pint and more next time I'd come in, but since we don't live nearby, I said just refunding the pint was fine. But knowing how much they care about customer service really did leave a good impression! I'd definitely love to eat from here again.

I drive by this place allll the time so had to stop in to give it a try. And I'm so glad I did. I ordered two chicken strips with the mild flavor and dang those are good. Each strip is a huge amount of chicken, flavorful and juicy with a perfect crust. I also enjoyed the coop sauce. The service from everyone I interacted with was perfect. My food came out quick and it stayed hot and crisp during my drive home. There were a couple tables of people dining in and everyone seemed to be enjoying. I'll be back.. maybe a little too often.

3 tenders and fries

I came around 4 PM during the week and this place was absolutely empty. It gives fast food vibes but a tier above McDonald's for example. Not a place you would want to spend a really long time. I can appreciate that the menu isn't terribly large, and they have varying degrees of heat. You can add to your chicken tenders. I also peeped some ice cream and slushy's on the menu as well, that, I might, and that's a strong might return to try. The fries were a typical seasoned fry. The chicken tenders were quite large, spicy (I got the second level heat) and seems they were made of chicken breast, rather than dark meat. They were a little drier and tougher than expected, but still good when dipped in the sauce provided. My husband got a sandwich, which was just two tenders between a bun with pickles and coleslaw on the side. It's a solid 'meh' for me

Chicken Strips, Fries, pickles & dipping sauce
Déjà J.

I ordered takeout on a Friday night - a 3 chicken strip combo w/ fries, I ordered the middle heat option - coop, also comes with a dipping sauce. I thought it would be kinda busy considering it's newer but it wasn't too bad. There's no "skipping the line" option as the website promotes, there was 1 cashier kind of handling everything in the front. The person in front of me ordered shakes with their takeout order & the cashier walked away for about 5 minutes to prepare them not acknowledging anyone else in line. Right as she was finishing one of ppl putting orders together in the back came to help, I told him my name, he looked where the other orders were being held and walk to the back and kind of looked lost for awhile. Eventually when the cashier came back I told her my name and she got my order right away. I waited about 10 minutes total to get my order. I know they are newer so I'll give some grace, but for sure can improve on customer service. The food- the chicken was good, crispy, well seasoned & the dipping sauce is decent. The fries were a bit soggy but okay. Overall I'd give them another try in the future. They do have a parking lot which is nice.

WAY better than Dave's hit chicken. Doesn't even come close. DHC is clickbait. Loyal to the coop at this point.

The in-laws had apparently been here before and really liked it, so they took us here on a Friday…read morenight because I love seafood (hubbie doesn't, so I don't get it as often as I'd like). The inside is quite swank, featuring a pretty large bar area on the right when you first enter. We were there for a sit-down dinner, so we proceeded around the left to the counter to get a table. I noticed this place must have a decent loyal following because of the merch you could purchase there at the counter (tee shirts, hats, sweat shirts, etc)! It wasn't too busy despite it being Friday night, so we got a table right away. It was really hard to pick what I wanted off the menu because A LOT of the options looked deliciously tempting (just gonna have to go back), but I eventually decided on a shrimp pasta, and that was the RIGHT choice. Mmm, so good! And a decent portion for the price too, as I took half of it home in a to-go box. I was pleased by the speed at which they got our order ready, as well as how attentive the server was (my in-laws suck down iced tea like no one's business, but she managed to keep them topped off regularly). The parking lot is interesting, as it has above ground and underground parking (probably nice to have the option to go below during the snowy winters around here). It shares the parking lot with a grocery and some other things, which felt a bit cramped, but as I said, we happened to be there when it wasn't too crowded somehow.

Had an amazing early Saturday lunch/brunch. We already want to go back!…read more We were in the area and got there at around 11 AM on a Saturday. We knew they offered brunch from 10 AM to 2 PM on weekends. We asked if we could order from the lunch menu, and our server, Noel, said that would likely be fine, although they usually do not start serving lunch until noon. She went and got lunch menus for us, and it was not an issue at all. It was really nice of her to go above and beyond for us! We had not been to this restaurant before, and there were a few things on the lunch menu that we specifically wanted to try. We had backup choices from the brunch menu just in case. Any other server could have simply said, "No, we do not start serving lunch until noon." Instead, Noel was fantastic and made it possible for us to order from the lunch menu. We really appreciated her making the extra effort. The vibe of the restaurant is also really nice. It is quite large, and there are windows everywhere. All of the employees were incredibly kind and welcoming as well. The bathrooms were clean and had paper towels instead of only air dryers, which I appreciate. We started with the Crab Queso. I really enjoyed it, although not quite as much as my wife did. They describe it as queso, but it is really more of a hot, cheesy crab dip. The chips they serve with it were fantastic as well. My wife described it as the best crab dip she has ever eaten and a top-three queso she has ever had. We have had a lot of queso, so that is a pretty high bar! I got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich at the Nashville Hot spice level. It was absolutely fantastic. It was not the best Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich I have ever had, but it was good enough to make me want to order it again. There was one slight mistake with my order. The sandwich comes with chips, and you can upgrade to fries or other sides for an additional cost. I told our server that the chips were fine, but when I got my plate, it came with fries, and there was an extra $1 charge on the bill. I did not complain because a dollar is not a big deal, and the fries were actually fantastic. However, it was still a small mistake since I did not ask for the upgraded fries. My wife got the Jambalaya and said she really liked it as well. I tried a little and enjoyed it, but I do not think Jambalaya is really my thing. They have a few locations around the Twin Cities, and we already want to go back to one of them. I want to try their Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles, along with several other items on the menu. There were also several appetizers that sounded great. They do charge a credit card service fee, but it was not nearly as much as I have seen at other establishments. It looked like it was only about a $2 difference compared with paying cash. Normally, this is something that really irks me. I generally deduct a star when restaurants pass credit card fees on to the customer. However, the customer service, food, atmosphere, and overall experience made it impossible for me to give them anything other than five stars. Absolutely fantastic. Check this place out!

Colita was delicious and had such a great atmosphere! It's a smaller restaurant, which gives it a…read morecozy, intimate feel, and the menu is made up of shareable small plates that are perfect for splitting with a group. I started with their signature cocktail, the Naked Dani. It comes topped with a salty foam and a little rubber duck, which makes it a fun and memorable drink. For food, we ordered a variety of dishes to share. We started with the Crispy Masa Chips, and honestly, I would probably skip those next time. The portion was pretty small, they were a little awkward to eat, and they just didn't stand out flavor-wise. The Cucumber Watermelon Salad, on the other hand, was amazing. It was light and refreshing, making it the perfect addition to the meal. The roasted sweet potatoes were another favorite--they had so much flavor and were cooked perfectly. We also ordered the Corn Elote Chipotle, which was absolutely delicious. I could have easily eaten the whole bowl myself. For tacos, we tried the Pork Carnitas, and they were fantastic. If you're dining with a larger group, you can even order a larger portion so everyone gets one. Our favorite dish of the night, though, was the Zubuton Asada. It only comes with one skewer and is definitely one of the pricier menu items, but it was worth it. The steak was cooked perfectly, incredibly flavorful, and easily the standout of the meal. We also tried the Chicken Thigh Pincho. It had a nice flavor but was spicier than I expected, so it's probably the one dish I would pass on during my next visit. Overall, we had such a fun dining experience. It's definitely more of a special occasion spot than somewhere I'd visit regularly because of the price, but everything from the atmosphere to most of the food made it feel well worth the splurge.

It's Taco Tuesday and I was craving Mexican food, but I didn't just wanna go to the type of place…read moreyou think of when "Mexican" is brought up... I'm fancy, so I wanted something a bit more upscale. I did a little bit of research and wouldn't you know it... Colita came up. So here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set south of downtown and a bit west of The Mall of America on Penn Avenue is this gem. There is no private parking lot, but plenty of street parking to leave your fly ride. But once you walk up to the restaurant you can immediately understand the message they're trying to send. Everything looks so modern, straightforward with straight lines, grey colors and light woods. There is a small outdoor section where you can dine if you get lucky enough to land a spot there. Inside carries a very similar style with a little nod to the pueblos and architecture of the southwest. The decor is minimalistic and the "loudest" thing in the room is the live plant wall seated directly behind the bar, which was super cool. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues whatsoever. Food/Drink: I was able to try so many different dishes and drinks here and the list is below... : Xochitl In Love : La Clandestina : Tuna Tostada : Chicken Tinga Tostada : Seared Scallops : Tlayuda : Colita Old Fashioned : Lamb Barbacoa Tacos : Duck Tamal However, my favorite things were the Lamb Barbacoa Tacos, Duck Tamal and Seared Scallops, in that order. The food here is phenomenal, the drinks are excellently crafted and things are served tapas style so you don't get too full off of just one thing! Order a whole bunch of stuff and share with the table! Value: As I mentioned earlier, I wanted upscale and the priced dddooo reflect that. Lol. This is a nice place so be prepared to spend... Like you're downtown somewhere. In conclusion, I loved this place and I will come back over and over. Check this place out the next time you're in the area!

I haven't updated this since the last time I lived in Minnesota!…read more When we moved back, Orale was one of the first places we went back to. I love this place, and the food is on par with a lot of Mexican food in California. Most recently, we went to celebrate a birthday. We go here because they are veggie friendly. We ordered the veggie enchiladas and I got a veggie wet burrito. Everything was delicious. My only complaint would be that things could be a bit saucier...but that's a preference thing and we get salsa on the side for it. We also got chips and guac -- delicious as well! I will say that the portions, especially the burrito are VERY generous. I think I should have shared it! It was pretty buzzy, which was great to see given the depths of winter we were in. Go here!!

The food is pretty good. I lived in Querétaro, Mexico for a while and spent 8 years in Phoenix, so…read moreI know the difference between authentic and Americanized Mexican food; this is firmly the latter. It's a bit whitewashed and leans more Cal-Mex than anything you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not complaining. I love a good California burrito and asada fries, so this style has its place (especially in Minnesota). Service can be slow. It took us about an hour to get two burritos yesterday and the restaurant didn't look busy. Maybe they were just short staffed. My main issue is the salsa. They limit you to one packet per person, and it's not the slightest bit spicy. And where are the limes? This place desperately needs a salsa bar with real options and some heat. Bump up the salsa selection and stop rationing it, and this would be a solid spot. For now, I'll keep getting this to go and buying my own salsa and limes.

I ordered delivery service of the linguine and clams and had it delivered to my hotel in…read moreBloomington. Delivery was reasonably fast, as the restaurant wasn't far so the food arrived within about 35 minutes. The temperature was moderate, so just heated it up but the dish itself was fantastic; moderate amounts of clam meat and thankfully half shell clams were included. They had the clam broth on the side in a separate container which I appreciated. This allowed for you to add as much broth as you wanted to your meal. I highly recommend and am looking forward to ordering this again when I'm back in town.

We've eaten at Smack Shack in Minneapolis several times, and I'd give it five stars every time…read more This led me to expect a similarly positive experience at other Smack Shacks, and that's where things went off the rails a bit. Don't get me wrong: the lobster roll is just as terrific as the one downtown! But the service was a disappointment, and the quality of prep work leaves something to be desired. We watched two other tables, seated after we were, get waited on and receive their food before we could finally flag our waiter down to place our order. The crab cakes on the Niçoise salad were perfectly sized and delicious, but the potatoes and beans had not been adequately trimmed. Note well: if your order contains olives, some of them may have pits. I don't blame the kitchen for this -- it's always a risk with olives. There's a hefty amount of industrial plastic covering part of the kitchen. This was evident on the way to the restrooms. So perhaps they're experiencing growing pains, or equipment replacement, plus Operation Metro Surge has not been kind to the hospitality industry! I'm hopeful that things could improve. In the meanwhile, though, we're sticking with the original when we want that perfect lobster roll.
