Stopped in for a happy hour and to have a little peek inside Grackle. The service was amazing. The hostess was notably sweet, as was our server. It was pretty with the greenery in there. Definitely a cute look in there. We ordered their French vanilla espresso martini, which was really nice. We also ordered the burrata crostini. Amazing and very shareable. Overall, the experience was great and we will be back to try more! read more

First time here yesterday and it was great! I really like their sister restaurant (Margie's) and Grackle was a similar vibe and quality (both great). Our server was very nice and helpful and the food was delish. Definitely will be back! read more

I really liked the salmon burger, I substituted the fries for the mac n cheese and I'm glad I did because it was delicious! Really cheesy and filling. Very much a nice comfort meal. I recommend trying their truffle dippers with a few of their sauces: sun dried tomato aioli, lime aioli & the housemade ranch. Service was great as well unfortunately I can't remember our servers name but he was very attentive and made us laugh throughout the entire meal. Ambiance was very modern, I loved the space and decor that they had with the lighting and cozy booths. I also loved the charging stations at most seating areas just in case you're on the move. Will definitely be back! read more

Grackle - Salmon burger with a side of Mac n cheese - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Rounding up to a 2.5. We came on a Saturday for lunch. There was no lunch menu, but a small brunch addition. Menu seems to lack whether it wants to be high end or a burger place. The gochujang chicken sandwich seemed like a frozen chicken piece and not made in house, slathered with way too much sauce, so I was covered in it. (And I do love sauce, but this was too much.). Our food took a while to actually get to us, and was generally bland. Everything is way too expensive for what it is. With other similar restaurants in maple grove, I'd rather go there. We'd just had a dinner the night before in Wayzata, and had much better food for the same price. I shouldn't be paying the same price for a burger as I did hand crafted tapas. Am I supposed to be thankful that fries are included and not an up charge? Kind of insane that most pasta dishes have no protein. But don't worry, you can add on chicken and make your meal $30 dollars! I'll just stick to Biagis if I'm in the area. read more

Ashley was an amazing server. Food was outstanding. Great salmon. Wonderful burgers. Crème brûlée was out of this world. We will return! Thank you. read more

Grackle - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Really enjoyed my visit here. Enjoyed a cocktail and a few appetizers. Would go back, but plan ahead as it is appropriately busy.

Food here was incredible! As an appetizer, I had the sweet potato fries with lime aioli, which was yummy. For the entrée, I had the Perfect Storm Burger, which was delicious and filling. Service was somewhat attentive, but not incredibly so. The restaurant has a calm, relaxed ambiance. Overall, a wonderful experience!! :D read more

Tacos and steak are great options here. Love the fusion of the meal options that's you can have steak, seafood or noodles.

This place was so cute inside! Everything was so fresh and amazing. We came in a couple hours till closing time and it was still a good amount of people dining in. The pink drink( pink pony club) was so good if you don't like an alcohol taste in an alcoholic beverage. It was a very settle sour/ sweet taste. The steak was so yummy, the mini potatoes melt in your mouth!! I said it's like mini mashed potatoes in a ball, I also dipped them in the truffle aioli. I highly recommend it! I loveddd the truffle fries and how they came in potato wedges instead of regular fries. Every single fry was crispy. The smash burgers were smaller than what we expected but it was very filling, it had a great taste too! Shoutout to our waiter Jacob for being such a chill welcoming waiter to us. He also mentioned this place was quite new and opened about just a year ago! This has became one of my new fav restaurants and I need to come back to try more on the menu. read more

AMAZING food. A little on the expensive/fancy side but I have yet to not like my food here. Service is top notch as well! Very large bar selection too. read more

Really unique menu and cool vibe! Service was a bit slow but the restaurant was really busy. I sat at the bar, and I especially loved my burger! read more

I can honestly say this is one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life! I'll drop a picture and the menu below so you can see. I ordered it with no bun because I don't eat wheat. There was an option for gluten-free bun. The fries and the spicy aïoli were a perfect pairing. I had an old-fashioned and being from Kentucky I can say, it was done well. I sat outside. The weather was nice and the server was really attentive and kind. read more

Food was just ok for the high price. Service was AWFUL. The pm bar woman was not attentive. More interested in talking with her co workers than waiting on guests. Waited over 10mins for her to come over and ask how our food was once delivered and our drinks were empty and we needed a couple of things. She fills 2 of the 3 glasses of water and walked away more concerned with her coworkers than waiting on her guests. Spending over $110 on this meals was a huge disappointment and I will not be back unless something changes at Grackle in Maple Grove. read more

I don't understand what the hype is about this place in Maple Grove, MN. I was so excited to see Chilaquiles Rojos in the menu. I got what appeared to be Fritos with barely any sauce and half a can of pinto beans. the extra $12 for my small piece of carne asada (tasted like the Costco carne asada) was too much for the amount. Their creambule was just some pudding with flamed sugar. Two starts because their service was good. Our breakfast burger was just ok. Will not be back. Remove Mexican wannabe dishes if you can't serve authentic or at least close to; your chilaquiles are insulting! read more

Met a friend for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Atmosphere was clean and classic, as more people filled the restaurant it did become loud which hindered our ability to have conversations. We both ordered a salad, the fall harvest with spiced chicken and the Caesar with grilled shrimp. The portions were smaller than your average restaurant but adequate for a lunch time appetite. My friend and I agreed that the salads were average. The shrimp was challenging to pull off of the skewer so be prepared. Service was also average, as our server was neither overly friendly nor rude. They did seem a bit preoccupied and kept asking if we wanted to try anything to drink, the push for a cocktail was a bit too much for an early lunch. Overall, just not a match for us. read more

Service and atmosphere was on point! The food came out hot, fresh, and truly could taste the made from scratch goodness! Our server was very attentive to our food sensitivity and allergy. Would love to stop back when we're in town again! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday. The place gets busy quick. Our group had a hodge podge order wise- burgers, chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, and pasta. Service was prompt and food came out quick. The burger was good, tried a couple bites of the mac and cheese and it was decent but didn't blow me away. I will be back but won't be in a rush. They do a good job and food is solid but there is a lot of competition around and for the price I can do better elsewhere. read more

Really good burrata. I had a blueberry mint mocktail that was super good. I would come back.

1st time here. Great service and great atmosphere! The bride and I had the smash burgers with sweet potato fries. We had some garlic aioli dipping sauce for the fries, it was just the right amount of garlic read more

Great burgers, love the options of dipping sauces! Service was super fast and our waitress was funny and sweet. Vibe was cute, will def be returning! read more

Being from Andover and having gone to Margie's many times, we decided to give Grackle a try. The food was amazing and a great atmosphere! Jacob was our server and took great care of us! He clearly loves his job and cares about the success of the restaurant. It was a wonderful experience and we'll be back!! Jason J. read more

Went for mimosas and appetizers. The mimosa was one of the best I've gotten from a restaurant with the perfect orange juice to champagne ratio. Love the environment, clean and classy while still being a casual restaurant. Bartenders were busy but kind and efficient! read more

The food was amazing. The mac n cheese was so good. But there was some bad things. When walking in the service was slow with open tables we still had to wait. When we were finally seated our waiter with the initials of AM just walked away. We were waiting about 5-10 mins before he came back to ask us what we wanted to drink, We told him and we were sitting there for about 10 minutes more and still didn't get our drinks. A different girl had to come over and take our drink order for us. Not going to give the whole story but there was hair in all of our napkins, there was hair in our smash burgers, and it was just disappointing. The ambiance was good and bad. Our waiter didn't really talk to us. When he was bring a refill he just walked over and set it down kind of hard. I just have not seen this bad of service in a very long time. We did get up and tell the manager and she was extremely disappointed as well. She re-ordered our smash burgers and we got free dessert. The only things we had to pay for was the macaroni and cheese and our drinks. I don't think I will be returning. The manager kind of made it right but still a disappointment. read more

Great service and the food was really good. We are new to the area and will have to come back!

We started with the shrimp mango tacos and chicken wings. Both came quickly and were very hot with good flavor. We both had Chilean seabass and again they were freshly prepared and tasty. The staff seemed very young but did a great job and worked hard. Lots of gluten free options...everything we had was. read more

Our server, Erick, was great...gave us just the right amount of attention. Everyone's meal was spot on. I had the Mango Pineapple burger and would definitely order it again. The Happy Hour prices and variety absolutely entice one to wrap up a day with a visit. Coors Light and 2 tacos for $9?...sign me up. read more

We have been hesitant due to the mixed reviews we've heard from people, but figured that the restaurant was still figuring things out since they just opened roughly a year ago. We decided to finally take a chance with some family from out of town for lunch. My general take was disappointment. Service was sort of awkward and it seemed that a few people on the staff didn't know the table numbers very well, but that's not a big deal in my eyes. Decor looked great! The drinks and starter we got were good! But generally the main courses is where it fell flat. There were some things that tasted fresh, but most of what we get needed to taste great to justify the cost we were paying. From what our experience was, the value isn't really there. I understand "prices are insane these days", but I don't foresee the survival of a restaurant charging the same prices of an upscale establishment, while not supplying the same quality and flavor as one. Buns to the sandwiches and burgers were dense and not palatable. The breaded chicken tasted like a wing stop chicken tender. Nothing wrong with wing stop chicken, but that's not what I'm expecting on my $18 chicken sandwich. The chicken itself was dry and if it weren't for the copious amount of sauce on the sandwich, it wouldn't have any flavor to it. The saving grace was being able to pick an included dipping sauce for the fries and the homemade pickles being pretty good. The breakfast burger advertised the ground meat having multiple different meats including bacon and chorizo, but none of which was present in taste. I'm assuming the non-ground beef meats were a smaller percentage in the blend. The Mac and cheese tasted great at first, but then half way through eating it almost completely separated with a pool of butter/oil forming at the bottom. Maybe this is just my personal frustrated opinion, but butter needs to be a flavor enhancer, not a base. Not sure what happened here. Overall, I would go sit at the bar for drinks and apps, but I do not plan on eating another meal here until either prices drop (unlikely based on what the owners are commenting on other reviews) or quality ramps up a notch. read more

Food was good as heck, I got the chocolate cake and exploded in happiness. Service was awesome. We had a elderly woman who served us and was so nice. The ambiance was so good and fancy i will poop. I wanna live in those bathrooms read more

My daughters and myself went here for lunch it was outstanding the Tomato Basil soup was the best I ever had also did a side salad was great. 1 daughter had the Mushroom burger was great and the other one had had one of the burgers the French fries and sweet potatoes were great with the dipping sauce read more

First time visiting and we enjoyed our dinner. Got seated quickly and service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was upscale yet comfortable. Got the Perfect Storm Cheeseburger. It was very tasty (we ordered medium and it was rare). Fries were decent but not really special. Tuna Stackers were well presented and were delicious. read more

I was really excited to dine here, I'm a huge fan of scratch kitchens & the reviews seemed to be all good! I went with my grandma & girlfriend. I wasn't impressed by the hosts who couldn't accommodate a closer table for my grandma (who struggles to walk). Instead we were in the far corner of the restaurant. I ordered the peanut Thai noodles & they were bland & too hard. I also had stomach issues the rest of the night after eating that. My grandma barely touched her salmon which she didn't like either. My girlfriend got a salad & loved it. Our server was amazing & was extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu. Just overall not a good experience & the food was so mid. read more

Loved the food, ambiance and service. Jaylen made the experience so special with his quick wit, perfect recommendations and knowledge. I highly recommend Grackle and will go back read more

Overall food was excellent!! The cocktails were good. For an appetizer we chose the burrata crostini which was good, but the tomatoes seemed alittle underripe which was our only critique. The pork chop with the risotto was delicious and the Sea Bass was perfect!! It was so flavorful, nice and moist - perfectly prepared. We saved room for dessert and were so glad as the crème brulee was excellent with a nice thick sugar crust. The coconut mango cheesecake was nice but not at the same level as the crème brûlée. Great addition to the Maple Grove restaurant scene; definitely worth a visit. Great job Grackle! read more

Beautiful place with a great vibe and service. It was busy and we had to wait for over an hour ( I was able to call ahead and put my name on a waitlist, so was not waiting at the place all the time). You can reserve a table using resy too(at the time of this review). Our server was friendly and informative. She gave us recommendations for the drinks and food based on what we mentioned to her. We ordered a mule and a red wine, both the drinks were great. Ordered Truffle potatoes from small plate, that was great. For the main course we had Penne pasta and steak noodles. Pasta was great but the steak noodles not as much (only reason for not giving a 5 star). Provided the feedback to the server and she was willing to make it right by providing a free desert (which we declined, as we did consume the food, though we didn't like it much, and the intent was for the cook to know and not to squeeze out something free). All in all a very good experience and we will go back again. read more

Unable to gauge food. Stopped for an early dinner (5:30) and it was over an hour wait. They don't take reservations, which I find is very odd for venue such as this. read more

First time visiting. 15 minute wait was fine. Cocktails at bar was served with a smile and info on place. Once seated ordered food. I had Wild Rice Burger, wife the fish tacos. Both were excellent and fairly priced. Will return again for sure. P.S. - Not a sports bar, but all tv's over bar were blocked by liquor bottled from are table. read more
