    Margherita

    Its a sports bar with all that goes with it . We got on the wait list from the web site Nice feature arrived at the time quoted and was seated quickly waitress arrived and took drink order came back with water and took our meal order My wife ordered the blackened salmon salad I ordered the Nashville hot chicken with mac and cheese. Our order came quickly but still no drinks "Strange for a sports bar to serve the meal before the bar order " but they showed up a bit later back to the food the salmon salad was great would order again as for the Nashville chicken it was spicy but with just cayenne pepper on the crust but also way overcooked the ends were crispy hard and dry but it did taste ok the parts not overcooked and the cheese sauce for the mac and cheese had a gritty base and way short on cheese a serious fail but on the up side the pasta was perfect reasonably priced I will try again

    Big Bad AS$ Bloody, sub Margarita

    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.

    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!

    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.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the twin cities!!! Obsessed with the Pretzel Turkey sandwich and the Loaded Tot App. I always have great service here. It's super busy all the time and I don't like that they don't take reservations. But that's how you know it's a good one!! always good games on inside on the tvs to catch the game.

    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

    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.

    6 oz Steak Salad.

    I only wish this place was closer- it was amazingly good on all levels. Wonderful service- our server was very sweet and just the right amount of attentive. Food was incredible as were the bloody Mary's which is what I was the most interested in. The dill pickle Bloody Mary didn't disappoint! So good. We had one of those, the bloody of the month which was enormous and one spicy. All were good! Love that they have a Bloody Mary of the month. Other food ordered: Ahi Tuna Bowl Nashville chicken Mac and cheese Loaded Tots Omelette Truffle Burger Steak Bowl Steak Salad Excellent menu and food choices. Amazing all around! Highly recommend!

    Didn't know you could book online ahead of time. A group of 3, arrived at 5pm, got seated at 6:20. Pay attention to your phone because they only give you 5 minutes to check in when your table is ready. Highly recommend getting on waitlist online. Service was fast. Went here knowing they have monthly Bloody Mary specials. $35 but it's a meal in itself. Waitress asked if we wanted another drink while we wait as it takes time to prep it so we did. For appetizers we got the fill cheese curds and ahi tuna bites. Cute curds should be eaten right away, nothing too special. Recommend the tuna bites, A LOT of flavor. Reminds me of sushi. The Bloody of the month was the El Borracho Bloody. It came out probably 5 minutes after our drinks and appetizer did. Didn't mind that it came fast at all. The mini tacos seem like what you could get at Costco. The elites AB's wrap were good.

    Fried Pickles
    Stacy A.

    Someone recommended this place as having a great kids meal so we decided to check it out. Unfortunately for us, we picked a day during March Madness and there was a ridiculous amount of people there. We got added to the waitlist as the 27th party needing a table. PRO TIP: now I know that you can check the waitlist and yourself to the waitlist on Yelp ahead of time! We ended up waiting 1.5 hours, but luckily it was nice enough to spend that time at a playground. Very modern sports bar decor inside. The menu has many things I wanted to try. The kids meals are great, many entree options, plus a drink, 2 sides and an ice cream sundae for $7! My kids liked what they got. I was craving a burger and fries and figured that would be a safe choice at a sports bar; I liked the smash burger and the fries were ok. Like I said, we will be back but will be checking the waitlist first!

I wanted to order one of everything - especially in the snacks section of the menu. We stopped in for happy hour with a reservation on the patio. I really enjoyed I could reserve a spot outside, a lot of places won't guarantee that. We enjoyed the happy hour selection, including the tini flight, wine, margarita and spritz. We also enjoyed oysters, caviar, rock shrimp tempura, tallow fries and the dexter burger. All was fantastic, and I would love to come back and truly try everything else on the menu! One note of caution, while we were there a gust of wind blew an umbrella out of its stand and almost landed/punctured a guest at a nearby table. It was quite the commotion and very scary. I'm guessing that doesn't happen often but a good reminder to be aware of your surroundings all the time!

The food was good, but would have liked a larger portion of side with my burger for the price asked..

They had a sign by the door that said, "wait to be seated". We waited for someone to greet us for over 5 min. After being seated, we were told, "I will do my best to pay attention to you guys, I was just seated some really big tables." [[[Pause]]] What!? When we had the opportunity, and ear of our waitress, we ordered food and I will say, the kitchen staff did great! The food was hot and super quick. Besides service, I am incredibly disappointed with the marketing in their menu. We were thrilled to see that Sunday was all day happy hour, which included $3 off appetizers. No fine print in sight. We ordered three (which we NEVER do). When our bill arrived, we were charged full price. When we asked about it, we were told, "oh, that's only after 3pm" (mind you, it was 2:45pm) at this time. I said, "that should be clearly stated in the menu." After no response, we decided to glance back at the menu. It's simply the principle. We went round and round with their very limited staff. They basically blamed it on a misprint in the menu. My response.... grab a marker and update your menus then! Overall, really awful experience. The service was terrible. I frequent Lucky's during the work week. Maybe I shouldn't!

Every time we eat out I suggest a craft and crew spot. I bought gift cards. I ordered catering from Duke on 7 last week. Today I went to Pub 819 with my 4 lb chihuahua...and suddenly I was treated like a problem customer. Because of my dog, when I've checked in at the front, they sent me around the outside to the back. So I've been adamantly respectful of that. When I told my family I was at Pub 819 and they should order Friday dinner to go from there, they trusted me. When my brother in law pulled in at the back of the restaurant in the rain, I stepped in to bring them their food from the front. The manager of Pub 819 came running along the route to the back entrance and took my fresh drink out of my hands. I told him I was following their orders to walk along the outside of the building to the back so I didn't walk through the restaurant with a dog. He said "we were cutting you off anyway." Ummm...what? That was never even an issue. Very random. I wanted to bring business to a local operation. So much for good intentions. I was humiliated. He took my drink out of my hands as I was trying to bring my family their food. I wasn't going to argue with him so I just left. It was an awful experience that completely soured my view of the Craft and Crew family. I tried to support local, but I ended up embarrassed in the alleyway looking silly.
