One thing a lot of people might not realize: they actually serve more than just pizza! They make food right behind the bar (which is awesome to watch), though we haven't tried it yet. Definitely planning to soon. The service is always top-notch, no matter when we stop in. Joe is the best bartender -- he's always so kind, quick with a drink, and just an all-around great guy to see behind the bar. The venue itself is on the smaller side, which just adds to the cozy, neighborhood feel. They usually have good music playing, and whether it's busy or quiet is kind of hit-or-miss -- but either way, it's a comfortable spot to relax. If you're into pull tabs, they have them, plus plenty of TVs if there's a game on. If you're looking for a no-frills, friendly neighborhood bar with solid service, a fun atmosphere, and great music, Al's Corral is it!

After hearing the hype about the chicken here, I decided to give it a go for lunch! While they may…read morebe famous for their chicken, I'm here to tell you the RIBS are where it's at!! This is located in a neighborhood with a small parking lot or free parking in the neighborhood. There is a small patio and a few tables and chairs on the inside. I would plan on taking your food to go. The vibes are classic and there are a bunch of fun pictures from Minnesota history! My boys enjoyed looking at those! The service here was extremely friendly and laid back. Kind of like having family cook your meal! That's a hard vibe to find these days! The food: We got the rib and chicken dinner. The chicken was fried golden(this is pressure cooked in oil) made for a nice flavor. I wouldn't say it knocked my socks off but definitely solid pieces of chicken. I am here to rave about the ribs!! Oh my gosh!!! The bones just fell out! The meat was so tender and the BBQ had the perfect about of sweetness!! I will for sure be back for the ribs!!! The mashed potatoes were ok. Next time I would get the fries. We also had the chicken wings plain. Again, nothing over the top special. Did I mention how good those ribs were!? Haha we ended with some mini donuts which were your standard mini donut but were delicious! This place is definitely worth a try!!

I cannot believe I didn't know about their ribs sooner, they are SCRUMPTIOUS! I normally hesitate…read moreto order ribs as a restaurant since they normally are a bit dryer than how I would like them to be. The Coop's ribs are tender, saucy and go so well with their fries! Would definitely come back to try more items! Wait time is a bit long about 20-30 mins because they start making food after you order, very fresh! Store is a bit small inside but there are outside seatings as well!

My review is only for the fish fry experience, I have not tried the normal menu…read more This was such a good fish fry! The fried fish was flaky and tender. The Mac and cheese was delicious, and the potatoes had a great flavor. Be warned that the initial line is super long and can stretch to outside, but then it is much quicker after you get through the first line. The servers were all super nice and the place had a great, welcoming atmosphere. I also appreciated that they let girl scouts sell cookies inside the restaurant! Will definitely have to come back for their other menu items.

I came in because of a Facebook post about a burger here. By the time we got sat, I completely…read moreforgot about that and ordered something different. We were able to pick our own seats, and the place was very spacious. Staff was also very accommodating and kind. I was talked into the wild rice poutine. This sounded kind of strange, but it turned out to be absolutely delicious! I'll have to go back for more. The Griddy burger was pretty good too, but I wasn't a huge fan of the side of onions.

I've been to the Bloomington location and that is WAY better than this one…read more.. There is plenty of parking and it is close to off the highway, so decent location. Walking inside the first thing I noticed was the lack of decor and warmth in this place. The pictures are hanging up spaced unevenly. The boards above the booths are not screwed into the wall. It honestly looks and feels tacky. There is a lack of decor and the lighting is too harsh. It feels like someone is moving out. Our server and the other employees, are the only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars. They were absolutely lovely and helped one another out. Our water glasses were filled multiple times and our server was very sweet. The food: we started with a beer and mojito. The beer was good. The Mojito was too strong and too sweet. It was really strange... Then we had the lobster bisque. It was very peppery and lacked flavor. There was only one piece of lobster and it had a strange after taste to it. The jerk chicken nachos were awesome is flavor but sooo greasy. See the pictures. I got the hot chicken and waffles. The texture of the chicken was great!! And the waffles were tasty! But these chicken tenders are very spicy and I could only get through half the meal. I would love if you could pick a non spicy version!! My boyfriend got a lobster roll and said it was good not great and the fries were pretty standard. We will not be back to this location. If you want to try this place, I would recommend the Bloomington location!

Parking was easy, we got in without a reservation and service was great. I'd day atmosphere wise I'd consider this an upscale sports bar.

They do have another spot in the @potluckmn food area of Rosedale Mall and are connected to @the1029bar in MPLS.

(not pictured but need highlighting because they're good) Onion Burger Mushroom Swiss Chicken Burger the fried Cauliflower (has turmeric spices) Lobster rolls also are top notch There's a similar burger to their house burger that's gotten a lot of hype in St. Paul, not naming names, but the one here blows that hyped one out of the water in my opinion. It's the weekend, go get a good burger and wings. Enjoy!

My mom was the only one not satisfied with her dish. She got the Chicken Teriyaki bowl and didn't love that the onions/vegetables were served raw vs. sauteed.
