On awkward waiting wondering if this is one of those places where you can just seat yourself. The place is clean and the ambiance has some very nice touches to bring intrigue. The subtle candle-like light fixture was corky and added to the charm. Prices are very reasonable! I had a good idea what I wanted prior to stopping in. Food came out quickly. Less than 10 mins. Lupia was hot and delicious. My first time having one so wilk not compare it to an egg roll. The braised beef rib was tender and juicy. I pulled out the knife but only a fork is necessary. I do wish the meat was a tad saltier but just a personal preference there. Service was pleasant, attentive, and quick. The gentleman who greeted me also thanked me on my way out. It was rather pleasant experience overall and am planning on coming back to try more of the menu!

Issac Becker's 112 Eatery is iconic in this neighborhood and helped make the warehouse district a destination in Minneapolis. By 2028, these streets will be beautiful, reconstructed to tie all the downtown hoods together. Now, they're a little rough, but to my surprise, 112 Eatery was packed on this Saturday night in early October. Fortunately, we had reservations. 112 Eatery allows patrons to make reservations at the bar. Yippee! I have urged restaurants to do this for decades. Our corner seats were waiting for us, and we squeezed into the tight space. 112 was Isaac Becker's 1st restaurant, and it is not large, but the decor will remind you of Bar LaGrassa, which is enormous. Derek was our server/bartender, and he was fantastic. He made our evening interesting and fun. I saw Khinkali dumplings on the menu and my knees went weak. I tasted these morsels at several Georgian restaurants, including the award-winning Chama Mama in Chelsea, NYC, and they're friggen amazing. Alas, the Khinkali at 112 are not pan-fried, so they have a mushy rather than a crispy texture. They tasted delicious, but paled in comparison to the ones at Chama Mama, but 112 isn't a Georgian restaurant. I would still order them again. The halibut was very good, but next time I would order the dish without the mashed potatoes. Because the fish sat in a puddle of mashed potatoes, some of the flavor of the Halibut was smothered. 112 makes some of the best French Fries in the city. They are not to be missed. We took desserts to go and enjoyed them at home while watching a recording of Wisconsin beating Michigan State. Go Badgers! 112 Eatery is a fun restaurant, and I was happy to see it crowded on a Saturday night.

Service is friendly and quick, they work as a team so requests get taken care of quickly. Now for the food, for brunch you get a complimentary bowl of mini donuts. We started with the cheese curds to share and they were so good. Delicate batter, with a side of a sweet jam/ketchup and ranch. These were eaten up fast. We also shared the buffalo cauliflower which was nicely battered, firm cauliflower, and a good amount of buffalo sauce. I ordered the chicken wraps. These were nice and refreshing. Comes with 3 skewers of chicken, a peanut dressing, fresh Bibb lettuce, basil, mint, cucumber, and sliced radish. My husband had the huevos rancheros which he liked as well. I saw other tables get a mimosa flight which looked fun if we had a larger group. Highly recommend this place. Street parking only with a nearby pay lot.

I used to come here frequently as they had the best turkey burger in the city. They've since adjusted their menu to the point where everything tastes like it's been drenched in salt. Expect to be paying upwards of 20 dollars for a mid-at-best burger and even more if you dare to get cheese curds or sweet potato fries. Very sad change for a place I once went to weekly. The service is overall great, never had a bad experience interacting with staff. The redesign also looks very nice with a shaded seating area outside. I just wish the food quality matched the rest of the experience.

I went with one of their signature dishes, the ham and pear crisp sandwich. Comes with fries and they were excellent. And their homemade ranch dressing is Yelplicious! The sandwich was good and the pear is a surprisingly good addition. Tasty all around. As I sat there I kept seeing these monster bloody mary's walking around. As I left I walked out a different way and saw the source of these drinks and what a cool concept. Largest toppings bar that i've ever seen. Incredible and it can't be missed!

It was pretty busy with how many people were in town, but we were able to immediately get seated at the bar. The bartender was extremely friendly and helped me pick out a cider I'd never had before which I thought was delicious! He knew I was trying to decide and poured me a sample of his favorite without me even needing to ask, and it was a great call. There's a certain cozy energy in this place with the dim-but-not-dark lighting that makes it a nice place to relax and enjoy some food and drink. I had the prime rib french dip and it was incredibly tender and flavorful. The next time I go back I'm going to have a hard time choosing between one of the many excellent sounding dishes on the menu and just getting this sandwich again!

Walking up to…read morethe restaurant, it seemed like there would be a small wait, but luckily for us, a table just opened up as we walked through the doors. Even with how busy the place was, I didn't find the service to be too slow. The food took about 10 minutes to come out. Cheese Curds ($12.50) - Interesting curds. They're covered and fried in a leavened waffle batter, which gives a more airy type of crisp on the outside. It's more robust than normal cheese curd batter, but has that lighter and softer waffle crunch. The texture inside is right in between being soft and gooey but has enough firmness for a slight squeaky behavior. I actually don't prefer this texture - I massively prefer one extreme or the other, either completely squeaky, or completely softened and melted. The curds are all separated with some mini batter nubs spread around for extra crunch. The curds comes with a ranch dip that has fresh herbs in buttermilk and for some reason reminds me of thousand island in taste. (4/5) 18-hr Porketta ($17.50) + Fries Upgrade (+$2.50) - This is a very simple sandwich with Northbound's famous 18 hour porketta, some Swiss cheese melted on top, and finally some softened sliced onion in a brioche bun. The porketta is essentially pulled pork and is lean with basically no fat. It's seasoned well with a good fennel and spiced aroma The flavors are quite pronounced and while the pork is relatively tender for the cut, some fat would do some major justice. The fries are mediocre. They are clearly hand cut and fried in house, but they are a little underfried since the interiors are firm rather than fluffy and they are floppy in texture. Meh. The porketta comes with a sauce that's fruity, tangy, and acidic. It's surprisingly great for the cheese curds since the curds are so heavy and fatty. (4/5) Overall I found the food at Northbound to be good enough but nothing particularly outstanding. I certainly don't think it was worth the 45 minute round trip drive. but I wouldn't mind eating there again if I happened to be in the area in the future.

If I feel like takeout of a wholesome entrée or meal, I always order to go from here. This is my favorite place for breakfast. I love to get their farmers all American breakfast and I like to either get bacon or sausage with it. Their French toast is to die for. This was the first restaurant that I've ever had an espresso martini at, and they make really good espresso martinis. The service here is also always spectacular. The service is always always exceptional and super friendly. You almost feel like you're in a tourist state or something because this is not very usual for Minneapolis to have really good service like you're on vacation type of service... very very super sweet professionals that really really do enjoy working here and they appear to love their job. Whenever I order to go and I arrive a little early they always are attentive and they check up on you and your order like you never have to ask if it's ready or not like they just know and they're gonna always check on you so you don't really have to worry about waiting long. They do not have a parking lot. It is all street parking so it's best to either come really early for the happy hour and then stay for the dinner. Otherwise it's very hard to find parking in this area. I absolutely love love their carrot cake, and they serve it with ice cream. It is one of the best carrot cakes I've ever had and I have been getting their carrot cakes for over a decade now. I feel like this is the only place in the area that you can get hashbrowns at all hours of the day because I love getting hashbrowns if I see it on the menu, I will asked for hashbrowns instead of fries even when I get a burger. I think the only other place that does hashbrowns all day long is JD Hoyts but they're really only open for dinner or as the free house is open for breakfast lunch happy hour dinner and late night. Their wings are absolutely phenomenal here. You literally cannot go wrong with any of the food on the menu. Everything is super good at this place.

I like their tap list, but I do wish they had Guinness or a few other classic beers on tap.

Everything has felt a bit safe and under-seasoned, and I've struggled to find something that really stands out in terms of flavor. It's not bad by any means, just a little forgettable.
