    Yelp let us down on this one. This place would never make it in a larger city. Only reason it even gets 1 star is our server was friendly and efficient. Although she did tell us how delicious the side salad was and you can imagine our surprise when it comes out as iceberg lettuce, 1 slice of cucumber and a few goldfish. They are known for their broasted chicken and we were disappointed as it was over cooked and very dry. We also tasted grease the rest of the day. Not a place I'd recommend or return to.

    This is a hidden gem of the northern suburbs. Just a few miles north of Co Rd 14 off of Hwy 61. Nestled between Hugo and Forest Lake. The Black Smith has some of the best Broasted Chicken in Minnesota. This is a no frills local bar and restaurant and it's totally worth the drive. You can't beat a 1/2 chicken, potato and salad, or coleslaw for under $15.00 and less on Thursdays. And the no-frills Bar will not break your wallet. Make the trip up here any day of week!

    It was my birthday yesterday and we decided to get a steak at Blacksmith Restaurant. We ordered the Steak for Two. It was very tender and tasty. Our daughter got the broasted chicken dinner special.. They have a daily special of something different available. There is quite a following to this local place especially for the daily specials. We had a nice time.

    Went here for a birthday dinner. We ordered steak for two. The steak was very good. The salad came with goldfish crackers for croutons. Our daughter had the broasted chicken special. They have specials daily. We had a nice time.

    The broasted chicken is great (as long as it's not over done) and the horseshoe burger is good.

    Took a trip out to the White Rock Lounge to actually see a show. This was my first show here and…read morethe vibe was amazing. I have honestly never heard of these bands because I am not in the metal scene and was most likely the odd one. I did however meet some very cool people and had some amazing conversations. I got a chance to speak to some band members and a chance to purchase some of the Merch. The merchandise was very good quality in my opinion and priced decently for the work put into creating it. The bands Ulkum, Wilbur, and Lungs were incredible. When people who don't understand metal hear the word metal they think a group of people playing very loud then head banging followed by loud screaming and smashing things. All metal is not like that these bands had harmony and played gracefully as well and some of the parts had a romantic melody to them. The bands were very enthusiastic and I learned a lot from some of them and that it was not only metal music that inspired them to play metal. The sound at the white rock lounge was perfect it was not like going to some places where it's so loud that it will rupture your eardrums and the sound technician they had was right on point with making sure things ran smoothly. The metal people are not as unfriendly are people would think and you should not be afraid of them if you take the time to speak to them then you will learn a lot about travel, adventure and music from them. I had an amazing night and the white rock staff was amazing as well as Steve the owner who was all over the place running his business. It's rare these days to have a hands-on owner running around getting his hands dirty and mingling with the people. I plan to check out another show there and try metal karaoke lol. If you have not been here and you live in the area give it a try and come with an open mind. #stpaul #saintpaul #lowertownstpaul #Lowertown #thewhiterocklounge #twrl #yelp #yelpelitesquad #yelpelitesquad #metalmusic #ülküm #lungs #metal #wilbur #heavymetalmusic

I didnt make a reservation but walked in and was seated immediately. Dim lights and everything had a hint of purple to it. Definitely like the change from what it was before when crazy Cajun was there. Just a chill kick back spot for food and drinks and good music. I ordered catfish strips and some wings. Didnt realize it was happy hour for wings though, or else I would have got more. It did take a bit for the food to come out but it was hot, fresh and cooked to perfection when it did. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Only issue was I didnt understand the tab at first. In a digital world where we dont get to see the actual tab, I had to ask why it was the price it was. She told me tax, but when I got the actual receipt, it was actually because they added gratuity. I just think being transparent about that goes a long way, and I actually tipped 7% on top of the %15 already on there. Other than that, a really good experience and I would definitely go back for more food.
