Jen @ Radar: Wings are the best! Dry rubbed with a million seasonings of sweet & savory.
Derek: The Monte Carlo wings (Beijing Style) are the bomb dot com. Hot and crispy with a salty, sweet, and spicy dry rub on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Get a basket to share. No regrets.
Doug Adelmann: Dry rub wings!
Glenn Gray: May want to call ahead for to go orders. Me? The 15 min wait while being bathed in smoky goodness was not only worth it, but it acted like pre-dinner foreplay. Awesome dry rub ribs!!
Kate Mikkelson: We found this place by accident, checking out the cupcakes next door. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious and the seasoning on the fries was out of this world!
Angie Licciardi: Baked beans are crazy good and desserts are home made and aweseome!

Epicurious: The wings are frenched to resemble lollipops, cured in a mixed-spice dry rub, smoked over hickory wood, then flash-fried and garnished with green-tomato chutney and smoky barbecued carrots. Read more.
Kasey Skala: Spicy lamb casserole is amazing. Scallops with prosciutto is tasty.
Heavy Table: The trio of cured salmon is fresh, silky, and served with a kick-ass dill, rye, and anchovy marinade. Be sure to order the bourbon caramel sundae to top things off. Read more.
Mpls.St.Paul Magazine: Try the Dry Rub Wings. These are the wings you’ve been searching for: hot, meaty, and crispy with a spicy mix that includes just a hint of cinnamon to round it out.
Abby Anderson Jones: The dry rub wings are the best and each drink comes in its own signature mug. Very fun paradise on the Mississippi River!

Tom Siler: Last of the great old time downtown Minneapolis bars! Smoked wings, Cajun or Dry rub, DELICIOUS. Scotch Eggs. DELICIOUS.
Stuart: Pinball and great beer. Really good people watching out on the patio.
Caroline O'Halloran: This bar is totally titties if you love beer... don't listen to the drunk haters who left nasty comments.... they probably ordered Miller Lite.
Sheila Skelley: Pork belly sliders, anything on the specials menu.... Best salads in the area!
Tim Schaaf: How did the hipster burn the roof of his mouth? He ate the MAC N Cheese before it was cool.
City Pages: Voted top ten chicken wings! The house wings are a rosy molasses color, dipped in sticky, sweet honey soy glaze with a Sriracha-spiked mayonnaise for dipping.
Amber Orcutt: Don't like seafood? The Dry Rubbed Chicken Wings (in Dr Pepper barbeque sauce!) are divine!
Brenna Daly: Just found out this changed from Bullfrog to Bulldog. Will definitely miss the sweet potato fries (the best I've ever had) and the pecan pie, which was AMAZING
Mike P: When at the Bullfrog, enjoy the loud rockin bathroom! Voted loudest in the cities!!!

Natasha W: Amazing deal for such good food, plus I think the restaurant is in an old garage. Get the Yams or creamed spinach.
