    Been a few times and I think the best way to sum it up is "fine." It's right in the corporate-lunch wheelhouse with inoffensive food and lots of space. The main reason to visit, in my opinion, is the great beer list. Maybe the crazy bloody marys on the weekend brunch if that's your thing. The space is open and pretty expansive with a good horseshoe bar in the middle. Service has always been great so no complaints there! I've gotten burgers, salads, fries, and brussels sprouts. They've all been exactly what you expect from a spot that caters to professionals/workers staying in the attached hotel and families. Not bad, but I don't think I'd recommend the place for food alone.

    Decent food good service and a overall good time plenty of tv's and outdoor seating to boot we had drinks salad's hot chicken and blackened salmon

    Big Dill Smashburger
    Emanie M.

    Stopped by Northern Taphouse to try their Burger Week special (pictured); the Big Dill Smash. We were seated almost immediately, and received fast, friendly and efficient service. There were also lots of screens around the restaurant, which made it feel like an elevated sports bar. The burger itself - double smash patties, American cheese, dill pickle cheese curds, fresh pickle-de-gayo, holy dill aioli, dill kettle chip crumble, and fried pickles on a toasted bun - was delicious. It started to lean a bit on the salty side towards the end, but that was to be expected with all those savory toppings. The fries were fresh and crunchy, and the accompanying seasoned sour cream really tied it all together! I would definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

    The food was excellent. I would definitely come back for that pizza and I hope they put this burger on the menu. It was therefore Burger week, but I don't know if it's gonna be staying.

    Big Bad AS$ Bloody, sub Margarita
    Lauren H.

    We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a great time. I hate Bloody Mary drinks, but theirs were so fancy and outrageous that I had to try it, except I substituted Margaritas for the drink part. This ginormous "Big Bad AS$ Bloody" drink made me SO happy. My friends and I had a full on photo shoot with this drink before I even took my first bite - ha! The drink itself wasn't bad, but I loved all of the appetizer sampler items attached to the drink. The adornments included Giant Cheese Curds, Honey Chipotle Dry Rub Chicken Wings, Double Smash Burger Slider, Fried Pickles, Pretzel Bites, Waffle Fries and the sauces were good too... chipotle ranch and Gouda Cheese. Could not finish it, even though 2 friends tried to help me. Food Overall (4/5) Big Bad AS$ Bloody (5/5) Service (3/5) Ambiance (3/5) Service was ok, and I was impressed our server kept all of our orders straight even though we asked for separate bills when we sat down. Ambiance was modern and casual. Think modern sports bar. I especially loved the light fixtures in these matching wooden chandelier looking things.

    Food tasted amazing! We went for burger week and got the dill burger, wish it came with fries but we got waffle fries for the table which were delicious

    I've had a few great experiences here! The wings are always a go to for me. I feel like they're a good value and they're really nice and juicy. Another favorite would be the Nashville hot mac & cheese. Service is always friendly and I really liked it even when there is a wait they use Yelp's built in waiting list which let you have a live activity on your iPhone screen saying what number you are in line and giving you a progress bar until when your table is ready. Ambience can be quite busy feeling inside, but can be pretty calm outside, which is nice for those summer evenings. I do feel like there are a few too many TVs, but it's just like a buffalo wild wings or any other type of sports bar place as far as that goes. Overall, I would definitely say this is a good place to hang out with friends, or check out on a date night.

    Northern Taphouse is a great American bar addition to Maple Grove. Lots of yummy food options and MASSIVE Bloody Marys that will blow you away. The service was quick and super friendly. Pulltabs and lots of TVs for sports!

    Mac and Cheese, Nachos, fries, and a side salad
    Lauren R.

    Came here on our way back from Lake Minnetonka, so happy we did! We sat outside on a lovely patio on a great sunny Saturday! We had nachos, amazing amazing buffalo Mac and Cheese, and I had the best Dill Pickle Bloody Mary! Great spot, fast service, and all around an awesome experience.

    Cheese curds
    Iaan H.

    Not that Northern Taphouse needs another review, but here goes. 5/5 for the staff 4/5 for the food 3/5 for cleanliness 4/5 for accessibility 4/5 for pricing Staff were amazing and friendly. Great recommendations. The food and beer had a large variety. Here's my one problem with the food, it was a bit lack luster in taste and I felt like I could have recreated it at home. I will give it to cheese curds though those were rock solid. Given the portion size I felt like it was similarly priced as a comparable restaurant like a Malones in Maple Grove. The cleanliness I do believe is just a result of how busy the place is. We've tried to come here on a weekend and there's always a wait. 3 of us with a couple beers, a couple appetizers and entrees was only like 120 before tip so it was pretty solid. Their bloodies are amazing and are basically a meal in and of themselves. Will definitely be back.

    ONLY $35 for all this! Great value, delicious, friendly staff, and perfect atmosphere to watch games!

    The ridiculous seafood bloody.
    Howard L.

    Their monthly Bloody Mary is ridiculously amazing. Decembers hit it out of the park. Not only does it look great, the seafood was cooked perfectly. Seriously how do you cook bacon wrapped scallops that were cooked perfectly or crab legs that sweet defined them in a tap house. By the way the actual bloody was awesomeness. They have a great bloody menu but now I'm watching for their monthly masterpiece.

The Brussels sprouts as an appetizer was decent, but had too much balsamic glaze, my table agreed. Our server was a bit hard to talk to, but still attentive and helpful. The patio was incredible, though. Especially as it got darker out, the string lights made a very enchanting vibe- minus all the bugs biting your ankles. I would plan to return, but be prepared for a heftier bill!

There was a sign on the host stand explaining they would not have access to this Sunday's game, a heads-up I'm sure many appreciated. RC and I stoped here after a chilly morning of watching the growing-up-too-fast twins play in a soccer match. Warming up with good food was a bonus! We were seated quickly at 11:15 on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was pleasantly busy. Our server, Jack, was prompt and personable which always adds to the enjoyment of a meal. The menu is pretty large including breakfast items. RC ordered the steak and eggs and I chose the Angus burger after learning I could order it medium rare. The food was very good; my burger was flavorful and juicy and RC's steak was a perfect mid-rare. We both enjoyed the tater tots (an upcharge) and the seasoned sour cream (extra 50 cents) was nice. Overall, a great lunch with wonderful service.
