A Cadillac facade outside, rock and roll pictures adorning the walls, Tim McGraw overhead, and a mechanical bull on center stage, Cadillac Ranch had all the makings of my kind of joint, even if it was in a mall; and it did not disappoint. Backing up a decade and some years ago, I found myself in New York City. I bellied up to a bar and ordered the city's namesake drink; a Manhattan; and for this bourbon-loving girl, it was a piece of heaven. Simple, decadent, savory, and delivered in a glass with a stem and garnish. I felt fancy, sophisticated, and grown-up as if I had arrived-not only in New York City but, to adulthood. That drink taught me a lot about myself and about life. I have since searched for a great Manhattan, and have found myself continually dropping the bar from great to good to decent.  And when I find that elusive beverage, I want to share the good news. So, thank you to Paul, the bartender, who perfectly mixed my three Manhattans, and provided a fantastic afternoon for us at Cadillac Ranch. I ate food as well, but, let's be honest-after three Manhattans, who can remember what I ate. read more

Our shuttle driver recommended the Cadillac Ranch Restaurant. The food was very good. We had a large party so we ordered a variety of food. Let me apologize for not taking a picture of the Ribs, lord have mercy they are AMAZING! The food customer service was good band we were seated properly. The bill was reasonable. As we were seated waiting for our food we saw a couple taking pictures of there young son sitting on the Bull. We asked the waiter about riding the bull. We were told you had to be 18. The only unfortunate part was that our 10 yr old wanted a picture standing next to our to sit in the mechanical Bull. The manager came over and literally called us a liar and that child was not on the Bull. Then she said if the attendant stood there and said nothing they would be dealt with. Then another manager came and said she ran the child off the bull, which was not true the couple took multiple photos. Our son was very upset, so we had to explain the age requirement then he said the other little boy was able to take a picture on it. My son is African American and the Little boy was Caucasian so of course the situation seemed more awkward. Overall, a good experience, clean establishment ,and good food. read more

Dined at the Cadillac Ranch for dinner this evening while shopping at the Mall. The entire experience from the service to the food was all sub par. I ordered the black and bleh salad with salmon for my meal. My daughter ordered the juicy Lucy burger. Her burger was pretty disappointing. We are very familiar with the expectations of what a juicy Lucy burger should look and taste like and this burger was no where near that. The salmon with my salad was supposed to be blackened, however it didn't really have any flavor of any kind that I could taste. The rest of the salad was pretty good. read more

Cool place at the Mall of America. The onion rings were one of the best I've had! I had the Jucy Lucy. It was ok. My friends had the carne asada tacos and they raved about those. We have the best tacos in Southern California so if they liked these ones they must be good. Loved the ambience and the western theme. Service was exceptional as well. Thank you! read more

Very basic food, nothing special at all! Over priced, but you expect that at MOA! Best thing was the cheese curds.

Let me start by saying the service was good and our waitress was sweet. However, it was such a strange experience. I ordered the coconut shrimp meal. It was NOT good. The shrimp were super soggy/mushy and watery inside the coconut breading. I ate 3 and left the remaining 7-8ish on my plate. The waitress remarked when taking my plate - "The shrimp aren't good, are they?". I told her they were mushy and not good. She said she doesn't understand why it's on the menu because everyone who gets it doesn't like it. She then proceeded to bring me my bill with the full- priced $19 shrimp on it. Why didn't she warn me when ordering it? Or, when she saw I threw the majority away, why didn't she give me a discount on the meal? Especially if this is a common theme? Pretty weird. I'd highly recommend removing that item from the menu -- and certainly not ordering it! read more

Cadillac Ranch - Cadillac Style Chicken Wings - Bars Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Decent food but nothing fancy or unique. Dimly lit which can be good for a fun night out in pairing with the mechanical bull. We had the ribs and chicken with a side of cheese curds. The curds were really good with a bit of kick to them. Ribs and chicken were fine, nothing special. Your typical restaurant at MOA. read more

The restaurant was very nice inside the booths were nice it was clean. The service was good although there was only 5 tables so it wasn't busy at all. The food wasn't great. My hamburger and my husband's hamburger was not good. The fries were not good either. We won't go back. read more

Stayed in Bloomington for a week long work trip and went to Cadillac Ranch five out of the 6 nights. The food and service were excellent! My servers were Shawn, Marie, Ciarra, Katie, and Elda. The Chicken Diablo Pasta, Philly Cheesesteak, and the Cowboy Burger all hit the spot! If I'm ever back in town, I'll make sure to stop in for a bite. Well worth it! read more

Really had a fun experience when my wife and I came here for dinner. Got seated really quickly. (in less than a min) our waitress Rebecca was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable with the full menú. She carefully explained all of the dishes we had an interest in. She recommended an in house beer that was AMAZING! (the Bennie bock) got the jalapeno cheese curds that were to die for! Also their cesar salad was very tasty. Our main entrée was the crab and shrimp pasta...... It was sooo good! Temperature was on point and it had pieces of asparagus that just made that pasta out of this world! 5 strong stars. They also have a mechanical Bull there! read more

Cadillac Ranch - Juicy Lucy (mall Only) Cadillac Fries (small) - Bars Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

We had a table of 10 and our experience was very good. Waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about menu and suggestions. Our drinks cake from the happy hour menu and the classic margarita, Georgia Peach Crush, and Texas mule were big hits with the group. The rock and roll Kool aid was ok. The food was a hit with everyone. I had the rocky mountain oysters and they were good but a little less sauce would have been better. The cauliflower bites were seasoned just right. The cheese curds were chewy, not sure if that's what it should be as its my 1st try. The juicy Lucy review was good to the 2 at the table - watch the hot cheese in the middle. Overall we were all satisfied and sated. read more

Cadillac Ranch - Happy hour menu - Bars Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

I really wish the Mall of America had more places to eat that I could get excited about. That said, the last time I was there I had a hankering for good steak, and Cadillac Ranch satisfied that marvelously. For twenty dollars I had a plate full of sirloin, mashed potatoes, and green beans. It filled me up and was of high enough quality that I felt twenty bucks was a respectable price, although the steak was fattier than I like. There are many, many choices on the menu. Enough that you might wonder what they're really good at. It's posted on a video screen outside the door, scrolling through its pages at a speed that did not appreciate the amount of time I needed to peruse. The menu seems most excited about flatbread pizzas and buffalo wings, so I'll probably return to try one of those. The we-are-your-everything philosophy extends to the interior design; this is a large restaurant with elements you might find in sports bars, barbecue joints, and stuffy supper clubs. My server was very quick and professional. Okay, I guess I am pretty glad this is an option at the Mall of America. I'll return. read more

We were looking for a place to eat lunch in the Mall of America and Cadillac Ranch had a large extensive menu that caught our eye so we decided to dine here. We checked in immediately after arriving and the first hostess I encountered was super flaky. She asked me how many were in my party, then instead of taking the rest of my info like my name or giving me a buzzer, she just walked away without saying anything to me. A second hostess had to help finish checking me in. Thankfully after checking in we only had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Our hostess was Carrie and she was awesome. Carrie was friendly and attentive. We ordered the steak, shrimp tacos and creamy red potatoes. The shrimp tacos were good but the side dish of creamy red potatoes (ranch sauce on fried potatoes with chives) blew our entrees out of the water. They were so delicious! My boyfriend loved the large beer options they offered here. They have a ton of TVs in this restaurant and a really huge TV in the middle of the restaurant. They were playing music videos on some of their TVs which I enjoyed singing along to. The other TVs were showing sports games. Overall a fun time at this restaurant. read more

Average food. Decent selection choices. Acceptable prices for MOA. Food was just fine, nothing special. A burger/sandwich was about $12 which isn't bad for a sit down restaurant at MOA. Their late night and happy hour food deals were decent (see photo). Ambience is loud but very attractive. Country classy. read more

I'm not really a fan of chains but Cadillac Ranch was a decent option at the MOA. A little overpriced for the quality of the food. My chicken sandwich was good but had some icky chewy pieces in it. The juicy Lucy burger got rave reviews from my husband. I tried it myself and it was alright. Tasted kind of like a microwave burger but maybe I am wrong! The fries were solid and the drink choices are extensive. Service was on the slower end although it wasn't particularly busy. However, it was a good option for a larger group and everyone seemed to enjoy their own food! read more

This was my very first visit to Cadillac Ranch located in the Mall of America. It wasn't our first choice, near closing time and several eateries were at their capacity. This was the 4th and successful attempt of finding a dinner spot here. I quickly searched the Yelp ratings and they were mixed, good and bad reviews. Knowing this, my expectations stayed low. Food was decent, shared a pizza and was entertained that there was a mechanical bull in the back area aka Billy Bob's in Ft. Worth. The server did a good job and I'm glad this visit was very positive. read more

I love the ambiance, I miss the music videos they used to play but if you wanna catch a game you'll be happy. Judge for yourself but if you're disappointed I won't be surprised. If you enjoy it won't be surprised either. They really are hit and miss. Food used to be better. Today they didn't get a delivery so a lot of the menu was missing. Of course my favorites. We are signed up with the Landry's Select and came here today for my birthday rewards of $25 off. On a previous experience the waitress took extra Landry's rewards and we lost out on $25 of them. We had been coming enough to have a good amount. Another time coming we order drinks from the bar and they arrived after we were done with our meal. I hope things get better for them. As I type this we are waiting for our waitress to reappear. She must be on her break. We've been done eating for about 10 minutes now. read more

It was really just ok. Everything from the service to the food was just average. WAY overpriced for what you get. I order the Philly cheesesteak and the bun wasn't even toasted or at least warm. The cheesesteaks from the food court are way better so I'll stick to those I guess. I'm not sure if I'll be back. read more

Cadillac Ranch = not the same as Bunny Ranch. Offers up a fun dining experience - think something along the lines of a Hard Rock Cafe with tributes to singers and performers located throughout the restaurant. They also had random collections of Cadillac hubcaps displayed throughout. Food was pretty average, I went for the Juicy Lucy. Our group of six easily found a table on a Sunday afternoon while checking out the Mall of America. The large number of televisions tuned into various NFL games was also appreciated. I think Cadillac is a good option if looking for a sit down meal at the Mall. read more

It is like if Hard Rock Cafe and Cowboy Jacks had a baby, it would be Cadillac Ranch. Rock portraits adorn the walls but you get a nice Western feel (probably from the Riding Bull) while in the place. The ambiance is tied together by a never ending reel of 90s and early 00s music videos that bring back so many memories. The food is a mix of Americana. Burgers, sandwiches, pastas, steaks, etc. We tried the Walleye Sandwich and the Pasta Carbonara. My sandwich was good, it hit the spot from what I wanted from a fried fish sandwich. The fillet was a little small but I kinda expected that since it was Walleye. Hard to find a good Walleye fillet in the Twin Cities. My wife enjoyed her pasta, it had a bunch of bacon and a good alfredo sauce. The stand out here was the service though. I didn't time them which I wish I had because we got our meals in under 8 minutes. It was crazy fast. Super freaky fast. I almost felt like we had gone to a fast food place to eat because it was that fast. What is terrible is that I have been to fast food places that were SLOWER than this place. So kudos, CR, you guys can whip out some pretty tasty meals. This place is really big and can accommodate a lot of people so I will probably be back in during happy hour when crowds can fill places pretty quick. read more

Food, atmosphere and service were great! I had the juicy Lucy and my husband had the ribs and chicken. The ribs were so good that we both agreed we would order a full rack of them next time. My burger was classic, I highly recommend. We have been to several restaurants in MOA and so far this is our favorite. read more

After a fun filled day on rides and shopping, the group decided to try a sit down restaurant. The Cadillac Ranch was a great dinner decision. We were seated right away, and our waitress was ready to get our drink orders as well as answer any questions from the menu. She had so many good recommendations, and it made it difficult to choose our entrees. Ended up with ordering salmon, burgers, and a kids chicken. All the meals were cooked properly, delicious, and the portion size was plenty. As a tip, try the house merlot as it is smooth and worth the money. What was the best part of our meal was the timing. Sometimes when go to a "mall restaurant" it seems like they are really slow, but Cadillac Ranch had a good rhythm to their experience. I always appreciate that aspect when dining. Enjoy the ranch! read more

Walked in after not being helped at Rainforest Cafe and this was 180 degrees. Staff at the podium were very friendly and attentive and seated us right away. Our waitress was amazing! She was there in a few minutes, made some recommendations. The Mac and Cheese bites and Tinga Tacos were amazing. The sweet tea was delicious and we are from Texas so that's something right there! One of my kids got the southern fried chicken and loved it. We rarely bring home leftovers and when we do we even more rarely eat them but she heated up her chicken later that night and ate every bite. The waitress was attentive but not over bearing. I hate that I can't recall her name, I would love to give her credit for a great experience. At the end of the day the cost was not bad. If you are at the mall of America this would be a great place to eat with family! read more

We dined here on a Monday night and you would have thought it was Saturday- it was completely packed! While on our layover in MN, I wanted to finally try fried cheese curds. Their menu was displayed in the mall, and I was thrilled to see they serve them! And they did not disappoint, I must say. Spicy jalapeno cheese, fried to perfection and served with ranch dressing. Damn, I could have had them as a meal! So fattening and so good! We shared a large shrimp salad that was also good, although I kept thinking about those fricken cheese curds. Mmmm Not enough staff for the amount of customers, so the service was slow. read more

I've been to the Cadillac Ranch many times, but the main reason for this review is to compliment the service we received from Steven. We were seated in the bar area for lunch, and I'm so glad we were served by Steven. He was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Steven is everything I think about as a company's 'brand ambassador'. When I asked him about an item I saw in the bar, he took the time to explain it was garlic in tequila. He asked if I wanted to sample it and I said sure! (Then I remembered I was going to a work function in the evening, and I was hoping people wouldn't smell it!) Ask to sit in the bar area or asked to be served by Steven, and you'll have a great time. read more

Overall: My go to place at Mall is America after an appetite-inducing bout of shopping! Ambience: 4 stars Mall bar scene, with extras- kind of western meets rock n roll. Comes with that rowdy crowd pleaser: The Bull! Visit on a weekend for some humorous free entertainment. If watching mostly stout individuals fall off an increasingly sped up tempo of mechanical bucking is not your thang, 80s-90s inspired music videos abound on multiple big-screens throughout this sizable establishment that boasts two bars. Food: 4 stars Been here multiple times & mostly get a burger, but have also tried the lemon chicken with mashed potatoes and the blackened salmon salad. Everything is a pretty solid 4- actually was pleasantly surprised when I first tried this place. Usually, don't expect much from restaurants in malls or attached to hotels. Service: 3 stars Hit or miss. Mostly decent servers. Bar server was awesome- will add name another time. Table server (Enrique) was the pits. He took our order late, hardly made eye contact while taking it, and never checked back to ask us how our good was. Dude, did you have an earpiece in, with one of the Impractical Jokers demanding how you act or something? Watch out for this guy! Bathrooms: 4 stars Pretty clean for the constant traffic that comes through here. read more

plates that were brought out were covered in grease and crumbs from the previous table,

The four stars are for the service, and the waitress and manager offering to BAKE my children's loaded french fries so there was no cross contamination for my child's deadly shellfish/mollusk/crustacean allergy he has... they offered to do all that without me even having to request anything. Cocktails are great, wild rice soup had good flavor but really salty... read more

I was in town for work for a week and checking out the Mall of America. Met up here with some of my work cohorts. Great experience. Katie is an amazing bartender. Great service. Great personality. And really knows her tequilla! Mike and Enrique were also great. Loved the food as well. Menu has a good variety and plenty of options for just about anyone. Food quality was on-point as well. read more

This used to be one of my spots when I was craving American comfort food. The burgers are some of the best, and the loaded fries are sinful! Yummy cocktails too. Some of our go-to-choices are the Four Alarm Burger, and the No Bull Burger. Their salads are even good! It makes me happy when all of the vegetables are diced and easy to eat. This way you get a blend of flavors each bite instead of large awkward chunks. The atmosphere is nice, and the song choices and music videos can be great at times. Not all country music as the name would suggest. There is also a mechanical bull that people ride occasionally, which is always fun to watch. Overall, a wonderful spot! read more

I came here for lunch after a day of shopping at MOA. The service I thought was fairly slow for it not being busy at all. The bartender was our server and I think he might have been one of only 2 they had on the floor. The table next to us I heard asked for their check 2 different times before he actually brought it. He was kind just not very attentive. After a bit he finally came to take our order. I got the Ahi tuna appetizer which I thought was the best thing I ate. Though I thought it was very overpriced being an appetizer. I think it may have been $14 or $15. I also ordered the Asian chicken salad without the crispy stuff and the peanut dressing. I thought that the chicken was super weird tasting. But the sesame dressing was pretty good. My little girl I nanny had some kind of chicken sandwich and fries. She said the sandwich was pretty good. And the fries I tried and they were pretty good too. Overall I would give this place a solid 3. Their service was a bit slow. The food was average and their prices were much higher than I thought the quality of food read more

This place was so grossed! I think they heated everything out of the microwave. My buffalo wing tasted worst than a grocery store brand. My daughter's kid's mac and cheese seemed like it came out of a blue box craft Mac and cheese box. They had so many workers loitering the place, yet, didn't even get our appetizers out first! Avoid avoid! My husband tip the waitress cause she was pregnant. Save your money and avoid the place! One star cause I have no choice. read more

In MN for annual work trip, we came in with 20 minutes of HH left to spare and our server (I think it was Jorge) made sure we were well taken care of. We started off with several appetizers: loaded fries, soft pretzels, and spinach and artichoke dip with flatbread. Everything was quite good, especially the soft pretzels with their tasty mustards. For dinner, I ordered the Walleye Fried Fish Sandwich. It was so good! a Native of Lake Ontario, I'm a huge fried haddock fish and chips fan, but Walleye, a specialty of MN, is very similar in taste and delicious. My coworkers ordered the Grilled Walleye Fish Tacos and the Smokehouse Chicken Sandwich, opting for tater tots over french fries. Everything looked tasty and they said it was. HH options for drinks are fantastic. We were well fed when we left and agreed we need to return next year. I'll need to check out my local CR in MD to see if service is as good. read more

Stopped in for dinner with a five person group. We were seated right away. We ordered our drinks with water. We received our drinks but we did not receive our water. We ordered our meals. Everybody ordered a type of burger. We had to ask the waiter for our water. We received our burgers and then never saw our waiter again. We finished our meals and we waited and waited. The table next to us had the same waiter and you could tell they were waiting for the check as well. We finally got our bill. I had asked when I ordered my meal to have my bill separately, but everything came on one bill. Then after looking at the bill he had charged my drink twice and before we even said anything he knew that is what the problem was with our bill. I had told him also my bill was suppose to have been separate. Finally got everything organized. The burgers were good. Aug 18 added info: manager contacted me on Aug 1 to ask a few questions stated he would send me a certificate ASAP to try again, but never received anything.

I haven't been here for a while. I haven't done a review here before. I sat at the bar, Graley is a older bartender with 27 years of experience in tending bar. He has a personality and there seems to be many regulars that they know each other by name. My entire experience here was good. I stopped because I was looking for smaller options for lunch. They had a list of $9.99 lunch specials. I saw the mushrooms and asparagus Alfredo pasta with a wedge salad. The Alfredo sauce was so creamy. The bread they gave me to dunk was perfect. So good. I like soups too. I see that they make a certain flavor of soup each day of the week. I want to try the tomato soup. I will definitely be back to try more. You will find me at the bar. I took pictures of the giant menu and other things for your viewing pleasure. I have not ridden the bull. Give it a shot! read more
