What I support for this establishment is less about its food but more about its message and the way…read moreit serves communities. Ever since 2020, the climate surrounding the George Floyd Square has changed dramatically, and this establishment has become an even stronger integral part of the community as the square itself had represented how the community thrives with its people. A lot of respect for the establishment from that perspective. In terms of food, I would say the soul food, which contained mostly sides, were the main highlight for me. The mac & cheese was salty enough. The fries were solid in a "you can't really go wrong with it" type of way. The candied yams had enough sweetness. The collard greens could taste better but standards must be lower when they're not homemade. I also enjoyed the catfish fillets as they were fried to preserve enough hotness and softness. A lot of what they served, they made on the spot, which was what may be causing longer wait for some. Meat-wise, a lot of items could use further improvement because they were too dry, such as the smoked wings and the beef brisket. The wings were dry to the point that they condensed and got extremely salty. The brisket relied a lot on the sauce and the existing fat on the meat for juiciness while the meat itself didn't have a lot of flavor or juice. As for the ribs, they had some seasoning, and tasted just fine, and weren't as dry. But I have had ribs in Texan barbeque places before and knew what "seasoned" ribs were like and therefore concluded that the ribs here were not spectacular. With all that said, however, I still will return here as often as I can because I love supporting this business. The person serving me was very hospitable and patient. I still got some pretty solid barbeque even if it's not Texas. Besides, outside just the barbeque food, the soul food was solid, like I had mentioned above.

The amount of pulled pork they give you is enough for 2 sandwiches. Don't even get me started on their twice baked potato. I dream of them sometimes. Given that I live over 30 minutes away they go out of the way to separate everything so once I'm home I don't have a soggy mess. The staff is incredibly nice. Every time I go they accommodate my request for buns on the side. I'm always offered a soda while I wait for my food. Their spicy bbq sauce is delicious and has a bit of heat to it.

The bartender told me that the go to was their Czech Pilsner and so that's what I had. It is light and smooth, very easy drinking. I'm impressed that they have a wide selection of stouts and IPAs and wheat beers to cater to anyone's taste. The food menu is limited. The food ordering process is really fast casual. You order at the bar and then they deliver your food to the table in cardboard basket dinner where is plastic and you bring your condiments to the table you choose. I wanted to try their wedge salad as well as their slider flight. The wedge was unique because rather than using iceberg, they use Romain, which actually was a nice change of pace for a wedge. It was good. The onions and tomatoes were diced, the dressing was thinner than most wedge dressings, but it was flavorful. The two pieces of bacon on top were whole and quite frankly might've been better if they would've been chunked the smaller pieces as well, but that's not a major issue. The slider flight comes to three sliders. One is a smash burger , one pulled pork, and one is chili chicken. The rolls are fresh and akin to a Hawaiian roll. The Smashburger was a good basic burger, the pulled pork was decent. And the chicken chili, was a shredded chicken that was spicy, but not too spicy. They were easy to eat and enjoyable. All in all the food was good, but not extraordinary. They were satisfying. You're not going to see a Michelin star given to StormKing anytime soon, but that's not the point. If you were looking for a quick easy to eat meal and a really solid selection of micro brews that you won't find anywhere else, the Storm King is worth a try.

They have options outside, booths, tables and bar seating. You have to order at the counter than they bring you your food while drinks/beer are given at the bar. We order some apps consisting of chips and salsa and an order of wings (3). I had an aperol spritz which was delish and had those fun summer vibes. The staff were friendly. The chips look definitely homemade and maybe made fresh when ordered. The salsa is more like a pico and tasty. The wings were good and came with some celery and ranch. They are the whole wing so you'll have to work for your food. Great atmosphere in this neighborhood and fun place to hang out. Parking can be difficult if you're headed down during a twins game. No parking lot, just street parking. They also have a cart of games to play if you're interested in that. I was eying the uno card but didn't have any takers in my party to play against.

I split a chicken plate and the vegan bowl (plus a side of yuca) with my partner. I can't eat dairy, and it was easy finding items that fit my needs. The vegan bowl was to die for, I loved the mix of curry and pineapple (the best fruit, BTW), it all came together so well. The chicken plate as good too, especially the plantains, the rice and beans, and the sauce. The fried yuca was great too! Our server was great, super attentive. Prices are mid-range, it's not cheap, but the food is worth it. They have a small patio and a larger indoor dining room. All in all, a great spot in NE Minneapolis!

I needed a protein to go with our potatoes and salad and was in the area, so decided to pick up a full rotisserie chicken! At $34, a rotisserie chicken here is no small fee (especially compared to the $5 one we get at Costco). However, it was super well seasoned and delicious! All the reviews raved about the green sauce that comes with us: can confirm that is delicious. It's like a green goddess dressing. I got takeout and it was easy to pick up inside. I'll have to try a plate with sides next time!

We scarfed the wings down so quickly we didn't even get pics. I am a pretty harsh wing critic, and one of those who believes wings should only be deep fried (and dropped twice).

The sauce flavorings were impressive and rivaled even the MN crème de la creme of wings (Runyons). Will absolutely be partaking again the next time we see them around. ‍ Well done PPF!

The burger was pretty good, cooked to a good temperature with a nice bun, good amount of cheese and toppings. The burger did have a bit of a weird aftertaste sort of like a meatloaf flavor. I am a burger naturalist so maybe they had some spices outside just salt and pepper or something which threw me off a bit, but it was still a nice, juicy burger!
