I had a pretty good experience visiting the Loop in St Louis Park. Beautiful restaurant and very friendly staff. It is sad to see so many restaurants struggling at the moment being under staffed which will result in longer wait time, But they did an amazing job for how busy they were! I had the Bad Hombre cocktail that was absolutely delicious. For an appetizer I had the Bang Bang shrimp which was amazing! Prefect blend of crunchy, spicy, and sweet. Plus they give you TONS of shrimp. I was expecting maybe 15 tops but we got about 25 pieces of shrimp in our appetizer. For dinner I chose to order their #6 pizza with grilled chicken, bacon, and pesto Alfredo sauce. It was phenomenal. Overall a pretty great experience and would love to visit again in the future. read more

If you go to the loop for food and you don't order the Buffalo chicken wontons.. what's even the point? Do us all a favor and try them out. I bet you order another round because 6 pieces isn't enough. End of review. read more

The Loop - West End - Buffalo Chicken Wontons - Bars Near Me - St Louis Park, Minnesota

This could be one of the most happening places in St Louis Park area for its location closer to MN downtown that makes it easily accessible for both the city and suburb folks. To begin with the parking, if you plan to save $5 on the valet parking, you will need to drive around to the adjacent common free parking behind the restaurant and it will be a good 5 min walk back to this place. Right after we entered this place, the first impression was certainly impressive. The sight of a crowded restaurant is always a positive sign on what you can expect - the Best. Since we arrived few minutes late for the dinner, our friends had already found their seating and hence I cannot comment on the wait time. The waitress who attended to us was young and energetic and had a good handle on the menu. She catered to our vegetarian needs pretty easily. We ordered a Hummus Trio from the appetizers menu and the three types of roasted red pepper and sun-dried tomato hummus, beet hummus and the garlic hummus served along were heaven. This was followed by the Caramelized Brussel Sprouts that was soy glazed. This was when we were picking up more curiosity on how better could the specialty plate be. The Kung Pao Tofu was no exception and beat the rest, hands down. The Fresno chilies on the serving was uncalled for and we totally loved it. Me and wife, both have a taste for spice and this blew us out completely. You get all good and that does cost! This place is on the higher side of the pricing with any item being $15 upward. One other thing you will need to put up is with the noisy atmosphere. Remember, we talked about this place being crowded? Nevertheless, this place is worth your penny and time and you will have no regrets, dining here. Can't wait to get back! read more

Went to the loop for NYE 2023 and had a fun time!! We reserved a table and got bottle service which was totally worth it to have somewhere to sit and not have to wait at the bar. The bottle service is definitely pretty pricey, but for the amount of stuff it comes with and for not having to navigate to the bar it was worth it (especially when split between everyone in our group). read more

We go here regularly. Usually, restaurants that serve food late sacrifice unique flavors and quality. This place never disappoints. I love the Flank Steak Salad. Get it every time. Wish they would bring back the Kimchi fried rice entree they had a long time ago. read more

First and foremost: Buffalo Chicken Wontons. Don't ask questions, just order them! Now that we have that out of the way, it was my first time at The Loop and I had a blast. My hot date and I walked in and were seated promptly. I didn't know what to expect from the place overall but I was pleasantly surprised at the versatility. You could go there completely casual or all dressed up for a nice evening out. We settled on a happy medium. The server was knowledgeable about the cocktails when I asked what was popular and what she recommended. She was also smiley and seemed very sweet. It added to the experience. We ordered Buffalo Chicken Wontons to start (I could write an entirely separate review for those, I LOVE them) and eventually settled on sandwiches for dinner. I got the Juicy Loopy which was pretty good! I liked that the toppings were on the side so I could build my own burger. Overall the experience was really cool. A new place with a good vibe, good food and good service? What more can you ask for? I will definitely be back. read more

The Loop - West End - My new favorite food! - Bars Near Me - St Louis Park, Minnesota

The Loop is one of my favorite restaurants in the St. Louis Park area. They have a great variety of American bar food and I have never had something I do not like. Their happy hour is a great deal and has a variety of food and drink discounts available. Staff is always friendly and attentive. They even accommodated our large party. I would recommend the buffalo chicken wontons, nachos, lettuce wraps, and chocolate chippers. The grilled flank steak salad is my all time favorite! There is a free parking ramp close by but you do have to walk a little bit. read more

Me and my friends came here last night, we'd previously been out on St. Patricks day and had a blast dancing the night away! Tonight was different, the security staff in the past has been rude but this was a new level. From the security guards being the rudest I've ever met in my entire life to the single worst DJ I've ever heard in any bar this was the worst experience I've ever had. For context I've helped manage a large bar in a different city, we literally would train our staff on customer experience. Whatever company this is missed any indication of that training. My friend said hi to the door security guard and he couldn't even be bothered to say hi back, just looked at her ID and kept talking to his buddy. The guards on the inside were just as rude pushing past us. The DJ played nothing but gutter hip hop and nothing new or fun, definitely not the same dj's we saw on St. Patrick's Day or our other times before. If it was possible to leave a 0 star review I would. Looks like the end of what used to be a super fun and safe bar. read more

This was our first time checking this place out. I must say that I was disappointed with my dining experience. Hubby had the Smash burger, which he said was pretty good. I, on the other hand, had the Juicy Loopy. Maybe it was a fluke, but this burger was just not good. The bun was hard and dry (I know that they toast the bun but it was beyond toasted), the burger had no cheese in the middle and was dry, as well. If you are going to attempt a "Juicy" burger, you better make sure it can hold up next to all the others in town. I will give this place another try, as I know that things can go wrong. read more

A convenient location to meet colleagues after work to enjoy drinks and apps, an easy walk from surrounding hotels. Fine and friendly service and a good selection of apps on the menu - we did not order entrees so I can't comment there. Wings were good, bang bang shrimp were great, and baked goat cheese was the best! Nice selection of beer on tap which is always appreciated. We had a fun happy hour here and would return, yet nothing stood out to differentiate from competitors. read more

I've been here a few times after movies with friends. I also live nearby and typically go to drink. They have a solid list of cocktail suggestions if you don't know what you're in the mood for. Get that Minnesota 75, so tasty and still has kick! Of the menu items I have tried, I would recommend sticking with the classic bar options and go with a burger. They cook them right and sauce them up! Just make sure to have napkins on hand. Their fries are equally as delicious, and OMG whatever pickles they serve are perfect to accompany booze, the burger, or a Cuban. However I will say, if you're a Cuban connoisseur like myself, their Cubano doesn't make the cut. Overall this is still a great place to eat and drink if you're looking for a higher quality bar experience. It shows in the cocktails, and the grade of the food. A classier suburba-food option. Easy free ramp parking. Valet parking right outside the front door if preferred. read more

Went to Loop for lunch. Nice server, apps were cold and when food came to the table it was warm at best. Service kind of slow and there were about 12-15 customers in the restaurant total, maybe to just watching football? Getting tired of fees for using a card, paying extra for somebody's health insurance (glad they have it for their staff) and suggest tips on the bill the exceed the mediocre service. They add 3% to the bill for their employees heath insurance and the tip on the pad shows 20% and up. I won't be back. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night for a work dinner with a group of 8. We ordered a few appetizers to start - nachos, bang bang shrimp, and the goat cheese. All three were pretty good. I ordered one of the salads (I forget the name but it had apples, dried cherries, etc.) and added salmon. The salmon tasted great and was a decent portion size. The salad itself was only alright, I wouldn't order it again. A lot of my teammates ordered the Korean beef bowl and really liked it (but said it was spicy). read more

I went here for lunch with some family members. Upon walking in, I noticed how clean it was inside. It did take a few minutes to get seated though. The staff were very friendly. There was also a parking garage around the corner. The food was good. I had a burger that was cooked perfectly. The french fries were also cooked properly and were well seasoned. I also had a jack & coke for my drink. It seemed to be properly poured. The menu had a wide variety of food selections on it. The price point seemed to be about average for the area. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I would eat here again next time I come in town. read more

The loops has gone down hill since the last time I was there. I ordered the flank steak, arugula salad. the arugula was drenched in balsamic vinegar. There was no crunch to the salad and all it had was potatoes underneath and the steak. I couldn't really enjoy it. The server and took a long time to take our order, and when we were finished, the bartender gave it to us at our booth He did not give us an apology or acknowledge the long wait. We didn't see the waiter come back. read more

I had the shrimp curry noodle bowl. A nice spicy taste, plenty of shrimp and very delicious. Our server was attentive and brought us everything we kept asking for. The atmosphere made it easy to communicate easily. read more

Fun place to go for a Vikings game! Lots of TVs! So many options for food and drinks. This time around I just got the mimosa, which they were running a special for! Very delicious and well balanced cocktail. Our server was so nice and there is lots of parking all around. read more

Ordered the Cubano and it was a good sandwich but there are a couple things that could make this a great sandwich. The bread. Had good crisp to it but wasn't a huge fan of the bun lookin style and had more of hamburger bun feel then a sandwich. There was a lot of cheese which was great! But wish there would also have been more meat on it! Wasn't the most filling sandwich. Overall, good not great and giving this a 6.8/10 read more

I really like this spot in West End! I'd honestly rather eat here than places like Crave or Rojo that are just a little to chain-y for me. First, I'll say we came here on NYE and at night, this place TURNS UP. They push all the tables away and make a dance floor inside with a DJ! Hit it up on the weekends if you party in this area. We've gone here a few times for apps after intramural games in the summer with friends, and I really like their patio. Our server was very sweet and kind, and attentive. They have good deals on beers! Of course, my crew ordered their New Belgium special. The buffalo chicken wontons are good--they're not the triangle wontons you're thinking of, but more like an egg roll. Not a ton of food for $12, but hey, it's West End. The loaded nachos were HUGE and delicious! Highly recommend. Smothered in everything. I like the ambiance inside, but it is a little business-casual/dressy. We opted for the patio to just have a chill atmosphere and snack. read more

Decent food, service a little lacking. Our server took our drink order on a Friday evening, and at the same time he got our food orders. After dropping off our drinks, we didn't see him again until the bill came. Just food runners coming around. The chicken sandwich my bf had was great, and my mom really enjoyed the spice in the korean beef bowl. The fish and chips orders were enormous, and pretty flavorful. The one lackluster item was the mac & cheese pizza. Needed a little extra something, garlic, or hot sauce or something. With all the options around the West End, might try something else before heading back over here. read more

The food is average. We got shrimp fettuccine and it was super salty. The veggie burger was not worth $15. The tofu kung pao was also salty. The fries were oily and not crisp at all. Beer selection is decent but cocktails were not good. The inside sitting area is nice and outdoor patio is cool too. Service was great, just wish they had better food quality! read more

This review is for their happy hour and it was fun since we sat outside in the sun! They have a great $4 Pinot Grigio and all the appetizers were $3 off. We shared the calamari and the steak lettuce wraps and both were tasty. The calamari came with a really good chili dipping sauce. The steak was tender and had a great marinade. The lettuce wraps also came with guacamole! The service was also good and prompt. I will be adding this to my list of favorite happy hour places and definitely recommend it! read more

Had lunch with a friend here the other day. We sat out on the patio enjoying a beautiful day. I was in the mood for something relatively light. I went with the Grilled Flank Steak Salad (Braised yukon gold potatoes, arugula, grilled red onion, parmesan cheese and balsamic vinaigrette - $15.99). It turned out to be a great choice. Generous slices of nicely charred, medium rare steak were well matched with the potatoes and onions and topped by a mass of fresh arugula and drizzled with just the right amount of the piquant vinaigrette. One of the best salads I'd had in a long time. Considering the portion size and quality of the ingredients, the price felt quite commensurate. Iced tea was refilled promptly by our cordial, proficient server. Outdoor seating was comfortable. Lots of free parking to be found in the West End (although at the busiest of times you may find yourself forced to take a bit of a sojourn to more distant lots or parking ramps to find a spot). All-in-all, a high-end, hipsterish sports bar that I'm likely to revisit. In fact, glancing at their dinner menu I found tempting fare that includes Fish & Chips (Fulton beer battered cod, hand-cut fries, malt vinegar coleslaw, bread and butter pickles and tartar sauce - $15.99), Grilled Flat Iron Steak (Parmesan gnocchi, roasted mushrooms, green beans, lemon herb butter and brandy cream - $21.99) and Chicken Picatta (Lightly breaded chicken breast, mushroom, pancetta, artichoke, capers, herbs and lemon-garlic cream sauce. Served over fresh fettuccine pasta - $18.99). read more

Food is ok, good enough to eat but wouldn't go here for a great dinning experience. Bar scene at night can be fun!

Never, ever, eeeever coming back here. Drinks were outrageously over priced. DJ was a jerk, doesn't take requests and played the most trash rap till me and my girl friends left. Went to a different bar around the corner and had a great time. Disappointing because we love the DT Loop. If the old DJ's got replaced then the person who did that shoulda been the one to go instead. Came back from college expecting a good time, got this horror show instead. read more

I ordered the Sante Fe chicken salad and had it delivered. Unfortunately the lettuce was wilted, the chips were soggy, and the blacks beans were so dry they crunched. I really like the chicken but it wasn't cut up well and I had to go in and cut it myself. I know food won't be as good delivered as it will be in the restaurant, but I was expecting a salad to hold up better. I was really looking forward to it, and it just was disappointing. read more

Bouncers trying to run this place like a night club in Las Vegas. Line outside, which is expected as this is a popular place. Bouncers agreed to let our group in for $20 for males and $10 females. Fine paying a cover charge to get in ahead of the line, but stop acting like this is a higher end night club where you're going to charge males more than females to pay for over priced drinks in Minnesota. Bouncers likely pocketing the extra money as well. Re-think your options read more

service was fantastic! We sat out on the patio and enjoyed that. The blueberry mojito is a MUST! best mojito I've had in a very long time! We also ordered some buffalo wings to snack on. Although they were decent, I'd have a few other places I'd choose for wings before the loop. Next time I'll try a different appetizer but will be sticking with the blueberry mojito! read more

The Loop in St. Louis Park is just what you'd expect from a bar/restaurant like this. The food is consistent, the service is what you need (nothing more) and is usually busy. We sat at the bar and ordered a cocktail and some bang bang shrimp. The cocktail was a little sweet for my taste, but that's the humble opinion of 1. The shrimp was delicious and just what you'd want. It's not quite as dive-y as the North Loop The Loop. read more

My favorite place to go to after dinner in the west end. You go for the drinks and the atmosphere. Great fire place and huge booths. Meant for groups 6-10 people. Music does get loud at night when the DJ is there but that's expected. Still a great please to meet up with friends and have a few drinks. read more

Working in the North Loop and living in Saint Louis Park, the Loop has been on my list of places to check out for quite some time. With COVID being part of our "now normal," I've really only stuck to spots where there are patios and the Loop fits the bill. Their integration with OpenTable made getting a reservation super easy, too! Menu offers nice variety and food quality was fine. Nothing remarkable or especially noteworthy. Prices felt a little high, all things considered. read more

We ordered the Calamari for an app and it was basically all breading and quite bland which is unfortunate. Our main meals came, my husband got the Loop burger and I got a soup and salad combo. The soup was ok but lukewarm once it got to me which was a little off putting. My husband said his burger was "ok I guess" but said it was rather underwhelming overall. I got the watermelon sugar cocktail and it was the best part of the meal. I guess I was expecting more from the food given the atmosphere and location read more

My buddy and I went on a Friday night about 6:30 to get dinner before a movie and the place was packed! Luckily, it was warm enough and they had a table on the porch for us to eat at. I ordered a Surly Furious from their extensive brew menu, to be followed by a Fulton Sweet Child of Vine, both solid beers. We decided to get the Buffalo chicken pizza and Cubano and split them. The place was packed, so the 15 minute wait for the food was cool, but the food was pretty darn good. The pizza was thin crust and chewy, yet very tasty and the Cuban was solid. Not the best I have had, but definitely good. The fries were super soggy, but good flavor helped with that, unless they are going for soggy fries feel. Our server was super nice and I probably would have gone 3.5 stars, but it doesn't warrant a 3 star, so I rounded up a bit. The atmosphere and hipster attitude is fun every once in awhile. Everyone seemed to be having fun. Lots of TVs all over the place. Fun place. read more

Only party bar in the area the food isn't bad and it's a good happy hour but one Buffalo trace rocks was $18.50 that way over priced

Came here for lunch during the work day and I love the atmosphere. Nice open layout with many options for food and drinks. I ordered a burger like I do 90% of the time which was a grilled bison patty, bleu cheese crumbles, pickled onions, mushrooms and garlic aioli. The patty was a good size and cooked nicely with a good amount of juiciness. The bleu cheese and mushrooms were ok but I would have preferred the burger without them. The garlic however, saved this burger and paired well with the burger that was a hair on the bland side. I chose to not put in the tomatoes, onions and lettuce. Chose to get a salad instead of fries to not weight me down for the rest of the work day. Salad was average for a salad and I got balsamic dressing. Overall, this was a good spot for lunch but it was a forgettable experience. Not great, but it satisfied my hunger. 3/5. read more
