Noel: Best fried chicken in Minneapolis! Try the fry chicken livers they will melt in your mouth...
Got Knot: Chicken was great! Also tried the black-eyed peas, collard greens and Mac-n-cheese. Soul food has arrived on 42 and Nicollet. Be prepared for a wait, but so worth it.
Nikki Sanders: I had the burger it's ok. It's hard to get a table here. I still think The Lowbrow is just as good and easier to get a seat.

Seafood Restaurant · Loring Park · 13 tips and reviews
Noel: Great fried chicken! Service was great, oysters and clams remind me of the caribbean; delicious! It was a great experience!
Allison Niksich: Great seafood and cocktails! Oysters, smoked fish salad, tuna tar tar, salmon - get it all! Definitely check out the roof deck on a nice day :)
Arielle Lenox: Great outdoor, upscale dining across from Loring park. Love the gin and tonics on tap!
Gordon Wright: Pork sandwiches, great wine and beer list, good vibe
Eater: Wine-friendly plates like pecorino flan & guinea leg confit. Their daytime porchetteria take-out window serves the same luscious roast pork sandwiches that are available at dinner. [Eater 18 Member] Read more.
Dane Hartzell: If you've never tried frog legs, this would be the place.

City Pages: Try the chicken roulade, filled with smoky chicken liver and rolled in crispy breadcrumbs. It's served with braised mustard greens, a gently cooked egg, mashed potatoes & watermelon radishes.
Bobby George: Industrial cool and some awesome entrees to boot.
City Pages: The dining room walks the line between elegance and easy-going neighborhood hang-out. The food is refined without being overly fussy. Downstairs Parlour serves cutting-edge cocktails.

Gina Giampaolo: Tagliarini Di Locanda Del Lupo: fresh pasta with prosciutto, truffle pesto & cream. Likely my favorite thing to eat in all of Minneapolis.
John Moore: they have a seasonal/local menu, which i go for. wild boar is good when it's in. the lasagnas aren't as good as the other dishes
Dave Healy: Go to Broders and enjoy the beautiful patio while waiting for a table

Café · Kingfield · 73 tips and reviews
Katie Simmons: Awesome brunch, but really great for lunch, too. Go for the oxtail hash or longhorn sandwich.
Heavy Table: Try the Kir Royale ($5), made with currant puree and champagne. If mimosas strike you as too sweet, you'll love this tart, bubbly alternative. Read more.
City Pages: Voted top 15 places to eat with kids! Blackbird's charming mishmash of cultural cuisines is a melting pot of delectable flavors. Where better to rejoice in baby's first bahn mi?
Laura Johnson: My chipotle shredded beef hoagie was amazing and service was spot on! Nice atmosphere too.
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.
