It never updated to ready to pick up so I arrived just before 7:45pm like the estimate said. I arrived at 7:41pm. The black guy with the attitude behind the counter cooking said that "it had been ready long ago". OH OKAY, well send the notification that it was ready when it was actually ready then lol I had put the order in & it said estimated 47 minutes. I arrived at 7:41pm .... told them my name asked if it was ready... I get home & I get a notification stamped at 7:41pm that it was ready. COLD COLD COLD. Onions so burnt up. The cheesesteak was too cheesy da fudge it was mush. I tossed it all out in the garbage. This entire establishment is a disaster.

All the other people I went with loved their food as well. The service was fast, and friendly, and I could tell the Chefs had a very strong handle on the kitchen, nothing leaves unless it's high quality. The ambiance was really nice, the space is very welcoming, and bright. I highly recommend trying this place out, I can tell it's going to become a neighborhood staple.

Overall: 3/5 This spot delivers solid burgers and chicken…read moresandwiches, but in a Twin Cities food scene packed with strong contenders, it doesn't quite rise above the crowd. The portions are generous, the ideas are there, and a few components really work-but the overall experience stops short of being especially memorable. It's the kind of place I'd be fine returning to if someone suggested it, but not one I'd find myself actively craving. Food [1.5/3] The food was good, just not distinctive enough to stand out among the plethora of burger and chicken sandwich options around the Twin Cities. The portions are definitely hearty, which helps make the meal feel satisfying, but several dishes could benefit from bolder seasoning and better balance. A little more acidity, sauce, or brightness would go a long way in cutting through the richness and giving each bite more personality. Bourbon Chicken Sandwich had a tasty glaze with a pronounced bourbon flavor and paired nicely with the pineapple slaw, which added a welcome hit of acidity and fruitiness against the heavier fried chicken. The bun was soft and lightly toasted, and the chicken portion was massive. That said, the chicken itself was under seasoned, leaving the unglazed bites fairly bland. The pineapple slaw was a great idea, but it was used so sparingly that its flavor only came through occasionally. The come back sauce was overlooked by the glaze. Burnt Chicken Sandwich followed a similar pattern: a very large piece of chicken, but not enough seasoning in the breading to carry the sandwich on its own. The herb mayo added some needed depth and helped elevate the flavor, but the layer was so thin that it got lost in larger bites. With a heavier hand on the sauce and seasoning, this could be much more compelling. When dipped into the side of aioli (cost extra), the flavor profiles were much better. Voodoo Smash Burger was overall underwhelming. The voodoo pepper sauce was easily the highlight and gave the burger a strong focal point, but the sautéed onions and comeback sauce were muted, and the smashed patty itself wasn't especially memorable. The first bite was decent, but the flavor didn't build or evolve, making the rest of the burger feel a bit flat. Service [0.5/1] The service was friendly, however, they were doing what seemed to be a midday clean and prep, which made the visit feel less polished. I also ordered a side of aioli for the fries and wasn't told there would be an additional charge. The cost itself wasn't a concern, but if a condiment carries an upcharge-especially one not listed on the menu-it should be mentioned before it shows up on the bill. Atmosphere/Ambiance [1/1] The space itself has a lot going for it. If you stop in for lunch on a Tuesday, you may catch some cleaning and prep activity, but setting that aside, the decor and ambiance are genuinely pleasant. It's cozy, well lit, and has a nicer feel than you might expect, especially for this part of the east metro. With a little more attention to the dining room experience and a stronger flavor punch in the food, this could be a much more memorable neighborhood stop.

Loved our lunch at Brasa! Not only is this place pretty healthy and does great with dietary…read morerestrictions, but the food does taste really, really good. I split a chicken plate and the vegan bowl (plus a side of yuca) with my partner. I can't eat dairy, and it was easy finding items that fit my needs. The vegan bowl was to die for, I loved the mix of curry and pineapple (the best fruit, BTW), it all came together so well. The chicken plate as good too, especially the plantains, the rice and beans, and the sauce. The fried yuca was great too! Our server was great, super attentive. Prices are mid-range, it's not cheap, but the food is worth it. They have a small patio and a larger indoor dining room. All in all, a great spot in NE Minneapolis!

Brasa has been consistent over the years, even with menu changes. The food is good and the green sauce that you get with the pork is so delicious that you may want to drink it (my little even dipped his macaroni in it). I had a pineapple ginger ale for the first time today, and it was really very refreshing. The servers are always friendly and it definitely has that cute neighborhood restaurant charm.

First off, Mirabelle is a beautiful restaurant! The lower part surrounds a large 20+ circular seat…read morebar with additional seating at tables. This would be an impressive date spot, or just a place to gather for drinks, as well as dinner. The upper part, where we sat, gave off very cozy almost bed and breakfast vibes and is romantic in a different, but very nice way. We had a table overlooking the lower part of the restaurant. Moving onto the food, we went for restaurant week. From the restaurant menu, I ordered the Wild Rice Soup, the Steak Frites, and the chocolate cake. Because of the upgrade charge on the steak, my dinner was $60. The wild rice soup was excellent. It was less creamy, but in the best way possible. In fact, I'd say that it was the best wild rice soup I've ever had and would definitely order it again. The steak was a ribeye and was very flavorful. I could definitely taste its smokey flavor. However, it was a bit tougher than I would have liked. The fries were plentiful and they were excellent. We had to take the chocolate cake home because we were too full to eat it, but it was dense and had a deep chocolate taste, but was a bit too sweet for my taste. My wife ordered the Wednesday special, which was beef stroganoff ($24). It had tender cubes of beef and the sauce was very rich. She enjoyed it very much and I agreed. However, it was too much for one portion, so we took home about half and enjoyed it the next day. She also ordered a Caesar Salad, which was excellent with a very good dressing. The service did have some lapses in it. I had to ask for a steak knife because the steak was difficult to cut with the original knife. This is usually automatic. The waitress was also at a loss when I asked her to describe an ingredient mentioned on the menu that I never heard of. Finally, she seem to have been abducted by aliens when we finished our meal and wanted to get a check. On the other hand, she was pleasant and seemed eager.

Here's my review of the food we ordered: Cocktail of the hour - aka "Golden Hour" - 8.5/10 Reminded me of mulled cider, notes of honey, very refreshing Pork Belly Steam Buns - 8.1/10 Nice texture, very tender and flavorful Mini Banh Mi - 7/10 Not bad, would have preferred the more traditional pork filling Crispy Chicken- 8.7/10 This really surprised me, from appearance the chicken didn't look that special but it was well seasoned and the sweet chili glaze really stole the show and elevated this dish! Mirabelle Smash Burger - 8.9/10 I'm a sucker for smash burgers and this one did not disappoint. Nice crispy bun and a special mustard sauce that we enjoyed and a different flavor I don't usually have on my burger Sticky Ribs - 5/10 Unfortunately these were quite dry and was comparing to sticky ribs I had last week at CoV that were fall off the bone Overall good spot, service, atmosphere, and would be happy to return.

*I did not dine at the restaurant*…read more My review is based on my job ordering Mama Sheila's for a BHM luncheon. They ordered bbq chicken, smothered chicken, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, green beans & cornbread. If i'm being honest none of the food looked appetizing in the serving trays so I was already skeptical. I've always kind of heard mixed reviews about MS but it was still on my list to check it out. My job allowed us 1 meat option, 1 side + green beans and cornbread. I got the bbq chicken and it was sitting in a watery bbq sauce (which was explained by a coworker serving it as it's a bbq gravy?) I got the baked mac and cheese, which a soul food restaurant should be able to deliver... it was just salty! The cheese burnt on top was inedible and it overall it wasn't good. The cornbread was really dry. Overall not good.

Very reasonably priced, especially considering that they pay their employees a fair wage and they don't expect tipping (when paying with credit card, you don't even get a receipt with a tip line to sign). If you're dining in, you wait to be seated but can get a drink if there's a wait. They also do a substantial amount of takeout and catering orders. Baby/Kid Friendliness: 4.5/5. They have changing tables in the bathrooms (unisex). They have high chairs available, including the kind with an attached tray, which is great for smaller/shorter babies who are too short in a regular high chair to reach the dining table. No kid's menu, but you can easily order a selection of add-ons and sides to piece together a meal your kid will like. It is generally pretty loud with chatter, so no need to worry if your kid is a little noisy or talkative. Smothered Chicken Plate with Mac and Cheese (4/5) - the sauces are what make this dish - the cream gravy the chicken is smothered in and the red sauce on the side. The chicken was tender. The Mac and cheese was creamy and not too cheesy, which I liked. Roasted Pork Bowl (5/5) - I generally love pulled pork, so I loved this pork. The pork was very flavorful. Good variety of textures, like the tenderness of the pork contrasting the crispy onion strings. Overall a lot of flavor and each bite can taste a little different due to all the things in it. Fried Fish Bowl (5/5) - fried catfish added good crunch to an otherwise soft textured dish. The yams were delicious and the apple based sauce on top gave it extra depth of flavor. The pickled hot peppers are great if you like spice, but easy to avoid if you don't. My only wish was that the fried catfish was thicker cuts of catfish (you do get two strips though!). Coconut-Vanilla Pudding (3/5) - this is a liquidy type of pudding. Light coconut and vanilla flavor, but more of the flavor came from the fresh pineapple it was topped with.
