    I had the cowboy burger it came with fries. The service was great I even asked about their bingo during the week and she explained it thoroughly. If you're into sports they have mini tvs at the booths which I thought was really nice

    Crispy chicken sandwich with onion rings
    Nicole G.

    My best friend and I stopped in for a late dinner last night. First time to this location. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and asked which type of table we'd like to sit at. Decided on a booth. It was nice the booth had a small little tv with the Wolves game on for our viewing pleasure. It took about 10 minutes for our waitress to come over and take our drink order. We started with the cheese bread for our appetizer which was good. For our entrees, we ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and the crispy chicken sandwich with onion rings. My bestie said his sandwich was good and the fries were delicious. The crispy chicken sandwich was dry and just meh. Lacked flavor. Onion rings were okay, nothing special and for $2.50 more I'd pass on them. I was surprised by the crispy chicken sandwich because it is one of their signature items on the menu. Service was not great. I know it was towards the end of the evening, but our waitress was not attentive. Didn't check to see if refills were needed on our waters or how we enjoyed the food. I did notice this location is much smaller than the Woodbury location. I'd maybe stop in again if I'm in the area, but otherwise, I'd continue to go to the Woodbury location.

    Met up with a friend for happy hour on a Tuesday afternoon The restaurant and bar area were pretty busy for a Tuesday. Bingo is played at 6:00 on Tuesdays and by about 5:45 the entire place was jam packed with an older crowd ready to play! I did notice that the restaurant brought in extra wait staff and an extra bartender to handle the bingo rush. Well done. Casey was the girl behind the bar and she was lovely. Very kind and fast. She greeted me immediately as I sat down and brought me a menu. Checked on me regularly and had a number of selections from the food menu to recommend. The second bartender that came in, Chris, was just as awesome. These two employees alone made the visit worth while. I ordered the Carnitas Tacos as a recommendation. They were just fine. Served in flour tortillas, not ideal. The pork was tender and juicy but under seasoned. Pineapple salsa was decent. Salsa Verde could have been a little spicier. This is an Italian restaurant so I can't be too mad about tacos. Overall I had a nice experience and the food was good enough to intrigue me into coming back. This could easily be a 4 star next visit.

    Caramel Sea Salt Cookie Sundae

    First time and only came for the Monday - Carmine's Steak Dinner Special $13.95. Based on the photos I expected this place to be between a sports bar and restaurant. We shared Italian Chicken Wings as an appetizer. Loved the dry rub. Steaks came out fairly quickly after we finished the appetizers. It came with a side salad and mashed potatoes. Decent portions and quality for the price. We even got complimentary bread and butter. Normally I don't order dessert, don't have the room for it. But the server said staff favorite is the caramel sea salt cookie sundae. We ended up sharing it and that was delicious! Overall we had a great meal and service.

    Y'all our server was IT! she was so great, so friendly, so awesome! They have a good happy hour that ends at six. Good deals on drinks and $3 off apps! We got cheese curds and they come with a lot! Shared between two and we couldn't finish it. I also ordered the southwest burger and it was so yummy. They top it with guac pico and coleslaw and they do not skimp on it!! The place was really busy (no surprise as it was delicious!) but they served us food SO FAST. This place is great!

    A Bloomington Bar/Grill that is average. They offer breakfast on Sundays which isn't something I'd make a special trip for but could address a hangover. They have bingo on Tuesday night at @6p to support local youth sports teams. $10 for 10 games and 3 opportunities to buy extra boards for the bigger pot rounds. The chicken stripes here are some of the BEST I've had at a bar/grill. Ordering during happy hour (4p-6p M to F) and get half off!

    Gluten free chicken pizza with Alfredo sauce
    Aneesa K.

    THE BEST chicken Marsala!! I literally ( ask Shelby our server) licked the plate with my index finger scooping up every last bit of sauce ‍ My dinner partner had gluten free chicken Alfredo .., YUMMY! Loaded with chicken and the right amount of sauce. Our first visit, we were skeptical, but very very pleased we gave them a try. The wine we chose was delicious and generous, the right pour. Service swift and accurate ( thanks Shelby)‍ Oh AND...., everything is made from scratch! I asked for extra Marsala sauce , our server said they'd have to make another order because..., everything is made FROM scratch . Very pleased- They used mashed potatoes as the base BTW, not pasta? Strangely it was ok! I'm sure if you prefer pasta they would accommodate. Ok done raving ‍

    a burger and french fries
    Kimberly T.

    I came in to Carmine's on a Friday night recently with my boyfriend on a double date. Truth be told, Carmine's was not our first choice; we quickly found it on Google maps after the first place we wanted to go was too packed. My best friend found Carmine's and all night long, we kept telling her how she stumbled upon a winner. On their website, Carmine's considers themselves an Italian restaurant. Personally, I think it gives more "dive bar" feels when you enter, but their menu has plenty of pasta options as well as American food options. I got their Carmine Burger Half Pound with bacon ($13.95 and the bacon was an uncharge of $2) and beer battered fries. My boyfriend got their popular Grilled BBQ Chicken Sandwich ($13.95). Their fries are some of the best fries in the Twin Cities area in my opinion - soooo crispy and love the shoe string cut. We could not stop eating them! My burger was cooked to perfection and my boyfriend said his chicken sandwich was the best he's had out. Our waitress was amazing, she checked back on us often and took great care of us! So glad we gave Carmine's a chance because we most certainly will be back! PS - They have a big parking lot so no need to worry about parking. They also have pull tabs AND we had a personal mini TV at our table which I haven't see at any other restaurant! Such a nice touch!

We were seated right away. They have TV on for sports and it can be quite loud (as expected) We did not expect it to be as loud since we had a baby with us. Bring headphones if you have a baby. Service was fast. Our server checked on us many times to make sure we were taken care of. Great service. To the point that I just finished my plate and he instantly took the plate away as well. lol Food all tasted good. Zucchini fries is soft in the inside and a little crispy on the outside. I wish it was crispier. Brussels sprout was good but a little burnt. Fish is crispy and good. The burger was good as well. Price is reasonable. Definitely worth going but just mind the loud ambient

We saw the burger of the month in December was a tater-tot hotdish burger online and man did it look like a 10/10. We drove about 30 minutes and ordered two along with a past and red sauce kids meals. While we waited we ordered a flight to try several options: the peanut butter bear was amazing, the cider / seltzers were good (Sherbet was the best) but the sugar cookie was meh. Once our good arrived a was already bummed as it didn't look like the photo. The burgers weren't cooked to order and overall there wasn't a lot of flavor for a burger with so much going on. I felt like it needed more goop....that's the best part of a hotdish, the glue. The past with red sauce wasn't well received but kids are kids. It didn't look amazing, but I didn't except much. With the menu being as big as it is I wouldn't mind coming back and trying something else, but I'm not in a rush to return.

I was really bummed to learn that the fried onion on the burger & some of their other fried foods are done so with beef tallow and therefore aren't vegetarian/vegan friendly. This includes the French fries & buffalo Brussels sprouts which was a huge bummer and took me by surprise as many of the foods I thought were vegetarian were not. This is the primary reason I'm giving it a 3/5 instead of 5/5. I am extremely grateful to our wonderful waitress for bringing this to my attention ahead of time and helping guide me to which menu items were still vegetarian friendly but found my options to be a lot more limited. The food that we did have was good! The Mac and cheese was rich and delicious. Our drinks were also really well made and enjoyable!
