Since moving to South St. Paul last fall I've only heard great things about Inver Grove Brewing so…read moreI was excited to finally get over there to try it! We went for dinner and I was very impressed with their wide selection. I got the dill pickle chicken sandwich and thought the chicken sandwich was really crispy and I really liked their aioli with my fries. I didn't really taste the dill of the pickle spread, however, if you want the dill you can get the dill pickle pizza which one of our friends got and really enjoyed. Husband got the Bacon Patty Melt and he enjoyed it and our other friend got one of the dishes from the tacos, bowls and naan section, which we discovered you can get any of those made as those three options, which I thought was such a cool way to make the menu fit everyone. I actually didn't have any beer but I did have a couple cocktails off the spring cocktail menu and loved both. My friends really enjoyed the Lime Bubble beer and were excited they could buy some to bring back to Wisconsin. The server was the right amount of attentive, we ate inside and I like the mix of restaurant and brewery vibe they had going on. Will definitely go back.

We headed out to IGB after a recommendation from a client of mine!…read more Plenty of parking in their dedicated lot! Sizeable patio available for those willing to battle the heat! The interior is giving industrial sports bar vibes, with TVs playing your favorite game, and wood/metal accents throughout the space. Bar, hightop, and table seating indoors. We didn't have a wait at 6pm on a Saturday evening. Staff was busy, but checked in often and were friendly throughout the stay! Lots of beer options, as well as a full bar! I had the Coffee Ale, which was lovely! Subtle notes of coffee in a smooth sipper. Enjoyed the Dill Pickle Chicken Sandwich for dinner, which was a great portion, savory, and delicious. Overall, a really solid meal! Our only constructive criticism was that the Onion Soup that my partner ordered came out luke warm, which was less than desirable. If we wanted to make a fuss, we could have sent it back, but decided against that!

Lunchtime on a Monday, fairly busy. Nice open clean style…read morewith plenty of natural light coming in on a sunny day. I tried the Mai Tai cocktail which was really great! I've tried Mai Tais all over the world and this was a nice classic one. My boyfriend had the River Thyme Martini which was incredibly fresh tasting! My lunch choice was the Mediterranean Power bowl with blackened chicken. I liked it a lot but did think it had a little too much dressing. My boyfriend had the lobster roll which he was surprised at how delicious it was!! It was a good lunch date. However, I would say it's on the spendy side for a lunch date.

We went here after seeing a movie…read more We decided to try out the rooftop patio. There was plenty of shade so it was nice and cool. The metal chairs were a bit loud to push in and out from the tables but fairly comfortable and wide to sit in. Easy to find seating on a Tuesday lat afternoon/evening. Our server was nice and let us know about the specialties of the day. We went for the $5 spicy margaritas. They were okay. Tasted a little watered down and not too spicy, which I'd say were all in all not so exciting. We had the lemon pepper chicken wings which had good flavor but felt dry. My beet salad was unimpressive. I'd even say it lacked a decent amount of beets. Where were the beets?!!? My boyfriend had the B52 burger which he really enjoyed but felt was a tad spicy from all of the jalapeño, but once he removed those from it, he was very pleased. Our service was a little slower that I would have liked. I would have ordered another drink had she came back to our table and asked us.

Trail stop has always been a favorite, but last couple orders kinda let us down. This past weekend…read morewe ordered the Tavern burger (waffle fries) and Hangover burger (fries) to go, and the Tavern was missing the American cheese, the Hangover burger was missing the cheddar added and bacon (which sucked)! The fries with the Hangover were not cooked through also (barely cooked/limp). This was on a Friday afternoon so they weren't terribly busy, just not sure what happened.

To have to wait 27 minutes for a to-go order of one basket of fries, then to have the audacity to be told to go to McDonald's by presumably the manager is absolutely absurd and I've never had such shitty service there before.

We started with an older crowd around 9pm, and it seems the younger crowd came out to play at 11pm. And bonus points for having a boot hockey rink in the back.

The place was hopping as it was bingo night - sounded like everyone was having a good time. The Diablo burger hit the spot. Loved the grilled jalapeño on it but would definitely have loved it to be spicier. I tend to like things on the spicier side though. My husband can't take spice that well so for him, the buffalo chicken pasta was a little too much for him. The kids chicken nuggets were extra crunchy but yet super light at the same time. Can't go wrong with the kids burger and fries and we ended the night with the mini donuts with maple syrup and amaretto cream, Twas a hit with the kids.

They also offer pull tabs, a weekend brunch, and have live music on occasion. The food selection has something for everyone, my personal favorite is the turkey club. I really enjoy their waffle fries, and not pictured, but the BLVD Fries with bleu cheese, bacon and chives are really good, too. Their cheese curds are also really good. The only thing I haven't loved is the seasoned sour cream. It is a little too salty for my taste.

I've been a loyal customer of The BLVD for years -- I've dined here regularly and have even hosted…read morean event at the restaurant. I've always enjoyed the food and atmosphere, which is why it's so frustrating to be writing this. A visit in May left me feeling disappointed -- not just because of the issue itself, but because of how it was handled. During that visit, the fly problem was overwhelming. It was difficult to enjoy the meal while constantly swatting flies away, and we even had to cover our food with napkins just to keep them off our plates. It felt unsanitary and uninviting. I understand that flies can be hard to manage in open-air spaces, but when they're this pervasive -- including in the lobby and the areas where food is being prepared -- it becomes a serious concern. In response to my feedback, I was told that "the kitchen is up to code and that the restaurant recently passed a health inspection". I don't doubt that's true, but it doesn't address the core issue I brought up. You can't fully control flies when windows and doors are left open -- but that also means you can't fully prevent hundreds of flies from entering spaces where food is being handled. That's a problem. I've thought about this a lot in the time since, and what ultimately pushed me to write this review is the complete lack of follow-up. No additional response, no real acknowledgment, and frankly, what felt like a lack of genuine care. My concerns didn't feel heard -- they felt dismissed. I truly want to continue supporting The BLVD, but unless this ongoing issue is taken seriously and addressed, I don't see myself returning. If customers are having to cover their food with napkins just to keep it fly-free, you'd hope the restaurant would offer some kind of resolution or incentive to maintain customer retention. Cleanliness and customer care should be a top priority -- and right now, neither one seems to be.

The place itself looked nice, the parking lot was a decent size, and the food was actually pretty good. The wings had good flavor, my wife really enjoyed the flatbread, and the taco salad was decent too. The two young ladies at the hostess stand were probably the highlight of the visit because they were welcoming and friendly from the start. After we were seated though, the atmosphere felt different. A member of management in a red Surly shirt kept staring at my wife and I in a way that honestly made us uncomfortable. Our server also wasn't very warm or friendly during the visit. When our appetizer came out, the employee asked if we needed anything else while already walking away before we could even answer. Then later the busser walked right past our table with plates sitting there and cleared another table farther away instead. I'm a veteran and not someone who usually gets bothered easily, but the overall feeling we got during our visit just didn't sit right with me. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but it definitely gave us vibes that made us uncomfortable enough that we won't be coming back. Which is unfortunate because the food itself was pretty good.
