    Made reservations for 6 pm dinner on a Saturday, but there was plenty of space so it didnt seem necessary. It's a more moody interior with a lot of different dog art, but they did have some tables outside on the patio as well. It's definitely a more casual place. ordered a Moscow mule and there fall sangria special drink. The fall sangria was yummy and pretty original. The Moscow Mule tasted quite light and like it barely had any alcohol in it. Also ordered the buffalo wings. They were just OK. The buffalo sauce didn't have much flavor, but I did appreciate that they weren't super spicy like some places are. My friend ordered the black bean burger and said it was OK as well. Our server was really friendly and attentive, which was very nice. there is some paid parking at the front or around the blocks next to it, but try getting there early if visiting during a busy hour because they're probably won't be much left.

    I really liked this place. Like a lot. Came in during happy hour which is daily (at least on weekdays) from 2pm to 5pm which usually sucks but was great for me since I had the day off. There's a happy hour menu which includes 6 dollar sliders and other appetizers as well as 2 dollars off drafts and cocktails. Nothing that will blow your mind but still a deal. When I came in, there were about 8 people here. I ordered cheese curds with truffle to line my stomach and bacon wrapped dates. There's a bunch of vegan or vegetarian options so there's something for everyone. The dates were spectacular. Shame only two came in it. The cheese curds were okay. I like a lot of truffle on mine and so more could have been added in my opinion. For beers they have a lot of local and regional beers. Plus they have a handful of cans with THC in it. I had the creamsicle one and it was fantastic! I then followed it up with war pigs which was okay. Stefano was my bartender and he was cool and engaging. The place has a ton of dog photos and picture on the wall. There's a back bar as well and they host a trivia night one day a week. I feel like you can fit easily 100+ people here. Not sure about parking but there are places to park your scooters or bikes outside the place!

    Happy Hour Prooster Slider $6.00

    Every single thing I ate here was delicious. As a vegetarian, having an almost identical plant-based menu is incredible. Highly recommend the Prooster slider, it was my favorite bite. The cheese curds are delish (not plant-based, FYI). I wish I lived nearby so I could try more on the menu. The staff was super friendly too and there is a very fun and divey feel about the space.

    The food was so good! Not pictured because we devoured them were the vegetarian rooster wings - 10/10!!! Everything was amazing. Appreciated the dedicated separate vegetarian menu (which also had vegan adjustments available for most). Our server was also super kind and noticed which menu side we were using when I forgot to specify. Last, but certainly not least was the decor in here. I loved it soooo much, heck I event want to buy some of paintings they have up!!! They do have prints of some available too. Tl;dr I definitely recommend! Great food and place, parking was also easy to find nearby.

    Had really kind & great service here! Staff is very friendly and it's a cool vibe on the inside decorated for Halloween. Food is nothing crazy but a good option with a lot of vegetarian choices

    We had a team dinner here while in town for a work conference and had a great time. Love all the dog decor of course, but the big hit was their robust vegetarian/vegan menu. I got the beyond rooster burger and I'm already craving another one. We had a big table (17 I think) and service was fantastic. Great selection of beer as well

    American Burger & Green Marvel Burger
    Markeda D.

    I liked the green marvel burger because it wasn't dry and because of the caramelized onions. It was flavorful, a bit messy, but overall a hit. I didn't really like the spicy margarita but I loved the decor though out with all the doggy details. We utilized street parking on our visit Saturday afternoon and the service was fast and friendly.

    The is probably my favorite bar in the cities. Great Belgian tap selection, an entire vegetarian menu, and incredibly friendly staff. So glad they seem to be doing better after the pandemic scare. They rotate specials with the season and they're always delicious. Most of their menu items have a well thought out way to make them vegetarian and not just "remove the meat". It's a long building so there's more seating than it first appears but can still fill up really quick on weekends and during sporting events. It's my NE/St. Anthony staple if I don't know where to go or just want a nice Belgian cask beer.

    This place had a very fun ambiance and decor! It's all dog-related, hence the name. We came right at open (12pm) on Saturday, thus service was quick and friendly. The seating: the tables are mostly high tops. There are only 7 low-top tables and a small outdoor patio. The Rooster was flavorful and had a very tasty sauce. The pickles that came on it were very thinly sliced...more cucumber than pickle. The Bourbon burger was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The fries had the perfect amount of crisp! We do wish the meal was a bit cheaper ($17) for the portion size. For the average person, you likely won't need a box for take home. It was a good portion size! * street parking only * 1 stall bathrooms

    Inferno pizza - really good with the jalapeños
    Kevin E.

    Don't sleep on this Northeast Minneapolis establishment, which used to be where Bulldog NE was located on the corner of Hennepin and 4th. Great beer selection and elevated bar food with some terrific burgers, house cut fries and tots that you upgrade with truffle, fennel or togarashi - if you grew up where I did, you have a great appreciate for fennel (think porketta). There's a nice variety on the menu, lots of different sandwiches, which I'd like to try nearly all of them and some unique burgers with great flavor - I've had the bourbon brown butter, which has applewood bacon, brown butter mayo and a bourbon glaze, which makes the meal, and fried shallots, as well as the Stuffed Pretzel which has garlic aioli served on a white cheddar stuffed pretzel bun - it's really good! On a recent visit, I ordered one of their pizzas - the Inferno, which has sausage, pepperoni and jalapenos - for the price, it was really good deal and I liked the crust and sauce as well. Stray Dog also does has a nice happy hour, as well as breakfast/brunch on the weekend with some great options. If you are in the neighborhood, be sure to swing by - you'll love the decor, especially if you're a dog person like I am!

    A fun place to stop if you're already in the area. I was having a treat-yo-self day and they were one of the few bars open before 4pm on a Friday. I may be a cat person, but I loved all the dog artwork! Especially the Courage The Cowardly Dog piece! I ordered the Togarashi Cheese Curds and a Negroni. I was excited to see togarashi spice on the menu as it's one of my favorites in Asian cooking! The curds were nom. Soft and yummy. The drink was premixed, which I'm not usually a fan of, and I got the last pour. There were a few other couples sitting around the bar and the staff seemed to know everyone by name. Very friendly environment. Street parking. Also near Stone Arch Bridge, about a 15 min walk.

    Arhonda C.

    I don't understand why this place is so highly rated. It must be the atmosphere, which I admit is nice with the cool and colorful artwork and big screen TVs for the games. I'm certain that the high ratings are not for the food. I had a very average burger and fries that were overly cooked or probably reheated in the grease. My service was absolutely terrible in terms of speed to order, receive food and to get the check. But that's what happens when one person is waiting on the entire restaurant by themselves. The server was nice enough, but it didn't help the experience. I have no interest in going back here, but hopefully it was just a one off issue.

Service is friendly and quick, they work as a team so requests get taken care of quickly. Now for the food, for brunch you get a complimentary bowl of mini donuts. We started with the cheese curds to share and they were so good. Delicate batter, with a side of a sweet jam/ketchup and ranch. These were eaten up fast. We also shared the buffalo cauliflower which was nicely battered, firm cauliflower, and a good amount of buffalo sauce. I ordered the chicken wraps. These were nice and refreshing. Comes with 3 skewers of chicken, a peanut dressing, fresh Bibb lettuce, basil, mint, cucumber, and sliced radish. My husband had the huevos rancheros which he liked as well. I saw other tables get a mimosa flight which looked fun if we had a larger group. Highly recommend this place. Street parking only with a nearby pay lot.

    If you asked me about Red Cow maybe a year or two ago, I would have highly recommended it. However…read moreit feels like the food has taken a significant dip in quality and a huge price hike. I used to come here frequently as they had the best turkey burger in the city. They've since adjusted their menu to the point where everything tastes like it's been drenched in salt. Expect to be paying upwards of 20 dollars for a mid-at-best burger and even more if you dare to get cheese curds or sweet potato fries. Very sad change for a place I once went to weekly. The service is overall great, never had a bad experience interacting with staff. The redesign also looks very nice with a shaded seating area outside. I just wish the food quality matched the rest of the experience.

Each…read morebeef patty is much thinner now than it used to be so the outter edge crisp is somewhat all throughout the patty being that thin. This makes the burger really chewy and you really can't taste the beef anymore like you used to when it was thicker. I would take this as it's not as good as it used to be. It is not as good as the original hype from the beginning. In conclusion, I do not think it's worth the $19. I rather get a cheesesteak for $16 at Tono's which comes with fresh not burnt fries rather than come back here and get a burger here. It's highly unlikely I will be back here. I honestly feel like the burgers have gone way WAY downhill. The fries here have gotten terrible so I stopped getting the fries a long time ago. They are not soft crisp like they used to be. They are too golden brown color, almost like burnt hard fries. I never like to eat down here. I normally would order the Parlour burger upstairs. The basement part which is Parlour has a weird smell like a locker room smell so that's why I don't like to eat down here.

They have a decent amount of seating inside and ~5 tables outside. They deliver and bus your tables which is nice for a fast casual spot. Now to the food: the l'ognion burger is a must get. If you maybe possibly at all like caramelized onions - you don't want to miss this. My husband had the traditional Le'burger which was also tasty. We shared a side of the OG fries which were the perfect crispiness. These burgers feel more elevated high end restaurant than traditional fast casual. Easily one of the best burgers in the city!

However, you will feel right at home here in an aloha shirt and flip flops which makes it approachable for a quick, casual burger and fries kind of meal if you don't mind paying for it. Street parking only is the rule. Order at the counter and find your own seat. They give you a number to display on your table and bring your food to you as well as bus your table when you leave. The food is pretty much what you expect. Burgers are what they feature primarily but there are roasted chicken parts if you don't eat beef plus things like fries (salty and crusty in a good way) a couple simple salads, and soft serve ice cream. They also have a few tap beers, wines and a limited bar for cocktails. The burgers are pretty standard and come out on unique plastic trays reminiscent of elementary school lunch. They do get a plus for being neatly wrapped and assembled and not just thrown together with innards falling out all over the place. I think that what keeps this in the midrange of stars on Yelp for me is that it is costly for what it is. Burgers all approach $20+ (except for the most basic which is about $14) and they are simply burgers albeit nicely presented. Sides such as fries are only à la carte and up the cost. You have to order at the counter, find your own table, grab your own water and silverware. And for that, you are auto prompted to tip in the greater than 20% range at the counter when ordering by the electronic card reader. It all feels a little insulting (I know it is not meant to be that way) for a place that is a bit of a glorified fast food model. If you add fries, a beer, and some soft serve to your burger you are easily into the $37-43 range for 1 person before the tip is factored in which is kind of pricey for what it is. It would be one thing if the burgers had some flashy attraction like custom heritage breed beef sourcing, gold flakes or caviar sprinkles, or some other sort of churched-up bullsh-- that would justify the high cost. But these are pretty basic burgers that don't approach cult status like In N Out or Shake Shack. Because of that, it is neither great value for the diner nor is it a great meal for the foodie. It is a solid burger experience for all at a higher cost. Would I go back? Yes. I liked it and the food was great for a casual type of meal. Would I go back often? Probably not. The uniqueness:value ratio is low and I can get unremarkable but solid burgers at dozens of places around the Cities so there is not a need for me to prioritize Le Burger in any way for a burger and fries meal.

He knew I was trying to decide and poured me a sample of his favorite without me even needing to ask, and it was a great call. There's a certain cozy energy in this place with the dim-but-not-dark lighting that makes it a nice place to relax and enjoy some food and drink. I had the prime rib french dip and it was incredibly tender and flavorful.
