    WOWOWOW this place never disappoints, SO GOOD!…read more Today we sat on their rooftop patio, which was perfectly shaded and such a great spot to relax on a nice day. We did wait downstairs for around 10 minutes before anyone came to greet us, then told us we could just head up.. it was a bit odd. As a vegetarian, I'm constantly searching for a genuinely good veggie burger, and I truly think I've found the best one in Minneapolis here. Soo many restaurants treat vegetarian options like an afterthought, but definitely not B-52. I ordered the veggie burger on the Trashy with fried pickles and cream cheese, and it was AMAZING. Seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, vegetarian or not. I also ordered an espresso martini and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Between the rooftop patio, creative menu, and standout vegetarian options, this place has quickly become one of our favorites. Already looking forward to coming back again when we're in the area.

    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.

    Here are some things I have tried in the past and enjoyed: Southwest Power Bowl, Fried Pickles, and…read moreCheese Curds. I've had a lot of things here over the years. I guess I just never reviewed this place until now. There's an outside patio area where you can look at the river and watch the boats. After you're finished with your meal, as your leaving the marina go straight at the stop sign and park in that parking lot. Take a walk down the trail and check out the old swing bridge. It's a nice view. They also have live music on the patio sometimes and also have corn hole/bean bag toss leagues and competitions. This day I came to have a beer, and enjoy the weather. I had the black and bleu tenderloin salad. It was good, satisfying. Not amazing, but good. The only thing I didn't like was that the steak came out on a skewer. Nothing wrong with it really I just would have preferred it in the salad so I didn't have to pull it off the skewer. I also ordered the fried pickles which I have had before but enjoy very much. They are very cheesy but I think the pickle balances the cheese out or something. Usually if something is really cheesy like that it kind of grosses me out, but this doesn't. As I sat enjoying my beer and food, I overheard the guy at the neighboring table say that this place has his favorite Bloody Mary/the best Bloody Mary he said, (except for the casino, he said that one is good too, not sure what casino but hey). I have a different opinion on their Bloody Mary. It is not my favorite. When I had it in the past, I thought it was watered down, lacking flavor, but maybe it was just that day. Who knows! However my mom tried one of the coffee cocktails at the same visit and had a similar experience. So, I just stick to beer when I come here.

    Went for dinner and music on the patio, but moved inside because of the bees…read more Big mistake! The ambiance was your typical marine pub with the exception of what appeared to be a regular who was very loud, foul mouthed and quite obnoxious. Even though the food is good and the service friendly we won't return. I feel sorry for the staff that have to put up with such a crude, foul, loud patron. Obviously he was never taught to use his "INSIDE VOICE".

    WOW WOW WOW! Loved EVERYTHING! Ribs were fall of the bone…read moretender. Requested sauce on the side and the ribs were delicious even without it! The chicken is absolutely amazing and beyond expectations! There seems to be no breading and the chicken skin is very crunchy and delicious (like chincharrones). Service was excellent and timing of cooking was clearly communicated ahead of time. Worth the wait! And by the photos, it clearly is a fun vibe to look at the decorations! Will definitely share with friends and family and return again soon!

    After hearing the hype about the chicken here, I decided to give it a go for lunch! While they may…read morebe famous for their chicken, I'm here to tell you the RIBS are where it's at!! This is located in a neighborhood with a small parking lot or free parking in the neighborhood. There is a small patio and a few tables and chairs on the inside. I would plan on taking your food to go. The vibes are classic and there are a bunch of fun pictures from Minnesota history! My boys enjoyed looking at those! The service here was extremely friendly and laid back. Kind of like having family cook your meal! That's a hard vibe to find these days! The food: We got the rib and chicken dinner. The chicken was fried golden(this is pressure cooked in oil) made for a nice flavor. I wouldn't say it knocked my socks off but definitely solid pieces of chicken. I am here to rave about the ribs!! Oh my gosh!!! The bones just fell out! The meat was so tender and the BBQ had the perfect about of sweetness!! I will for sure be back for the ribs!!! The mashed potatoes were ok. Next time I would get the fries. We also had the chicken wings plain. Again, nothing over the top special. Did I mention how good those ribs were!? Haha we ended with some mini donuts which were your standard mini donut but were delicious! This place is definitely worth a try!!
