First day in Minneapolis and we find this restaurant. No relation to Gordon Ramsey, this place is cool and comfy during happy hour. Pretty good menu selection and decent prices. Life music on the weekends, 3 dining rooms, Photo Booth, and they sell some swag. Definitely check this place out! read more

Landmark ambiance, service and food. All unique. Live music was a pleasant surprise. Brought home the PB. Get the big jar. You will want to.

Fantastic food and service. Twice! Do not miss out on the small batch peanut butter, or picking up a cookbook, both are well worth it! A must when in the cities! read more

My brunch adventures in the Twin Cities has been seriously lacking. We have so many great options and I really have dropped the ball on getting out to give them a try. One of those great options is Hells Kitchen in downtown Minneapolis. 'Hell' themed as you walk down the stairs into an open dining room with a good sized bar in the middle of the dining area. You can't go wrong with any of the food options, or their AMAZING bloody mary and mimosa bar (think an entire buffet JUST for these tasty alcoholic beverages). To start we went with Cheese Curds and a couple Caramel Pecan Rolls. The cheese curds are lightly beer battered and served with an absolutely bomb homemade sweet & spicy red pepper jelly on the side to dip into. The caramel pecan rolls are light, fluffy, sweet, and nutty. They just melt in your mouth and I can't recommend them highly enough. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros "of the Gods" and added bison sausage. They take a perfectly crisp flour tortilla and create layers of flavor. The first layer is perfectly crisp buttery hash browns. Then the spicy black beans that have a nice kick to them. Then the soft-scrambled eggs that intermix into a 3-cheese blend. All of it is baked to a golden brown so that the cheese melts into the other layers and makes it a cohesive stack of deliciousness. They throw on top some hand chopped salsa and sour cream to provide some acidity through the richness of the dish. The bison sausage was the star though in my opinion - the richness of the meat with the perfect amount of spices added to it really rounded it all out. ______________- read more

Service was great. The server over heard our conversation and empathized with us gave us a free caramel roll. They were good. The porridge is my favorite I felt like Goldie locks. read more

What an interesting place. The decor is very different. Lots of places to sit. The food is very tasty, and so many choices. The wait staff do good, but are not great. The staff could be a bit more helpful. We have been several times, and always leave stuffed. Will definitely go back. read more

FYI, THIS IS NOT GORDON RAMSEY'S RESTAURANT! It is completely separate. However, the mocktails, ambiance, and service were great! I was looking forward to my first juicey lucy burger, but was a little underwhelmed when I cut into it. It looked undercooked and the cheese wasn't too visible inside, but the waitress said it looked fine to her. After the first bite, it did taste amazing! Overall, we were satisfied after eating here. We recommend for a casual place to eat in Minneapolis! read more

Made it a point to get up from the table to ask my server for "no sour cream" on the dish. Someone else brought it out with sour cream. Server never even noticed. Breakfast otherwise was ok. Great marketing, merch, cool atmosphere though. read more

This below street level restaurant located in downtown Minneapolis is open 8am-9pm everyday (except on Monday's)! They serve everyday brunch, lunch, and dinner so there is no bad time to go! We grabbed a late dinner around 8:30pm last night and it did not disappoint!! What we ordered: - Dante's Double Smash Burger this double burger is just what Dante ordered! Comes with two slices of American cheese (+ various items you can add on) - Juicy Lucifer A Black Angus patty will arrive with a hot molten center of cheese; to avoid an eruption, make sure to give it a minute to cool. Includes a side of housemade sweet & spicy red pepper jelly. - The Triple C A double smashed burger topped with candied bacon and a wickedly magical cream cheese blended with caramelized onions, garlic, and herbs. It's positively spellbinding! - Ham and Pear Crisp Sandwich Shaved, slow-roasted smoked pit ham, sliced pears, and melted Swiss and fontina cheese on spicy-sweet, buttered and grilled sourdough bread. Highly recommend the Juicy Lucifer! This was a great spot for an adult evening out anddd as a bonus they even have a breakfast all day section of the menu We will be returning!!! (Side note: Even the bathroom decor may have you taking a second look) read more

Meh. Reservations were required (fine), but they also required a credit card to reserve & threatened to charge $50 for no shows or cancelations. Seemed pretty strict for a Sunday morning breakfast. Wish I could say it was worth the threat, but it was not. My food came out cold. I ordered a scrambled egg and a lemon ricotta hotcake. They must've made mine first & it sat until the rest of the table's food was ready. I didn't finish either. They also automatically add on 15% for front/back of house.... and don't forget you still have to tip your server. Service was good, no complaints there. Everything else.... just meh. It left me with ZERO desire to ever patronize this establishment again. read more

The food was good, they serve breakfast and brunch all day, but as far as the environment, I didn't like it at all. When it said Hell's Kitchen I didn't think I would actually be going into a place that would feel like Hell. "As for me and my House we will serve the Lord " -Joshua 24:15 read more

I came here for a group event. The atmosphere was fun and they had great service. The food was okay but I would come back again to try it on a smaller scale. The event I was at was pretty large so the food was buffet style. read more

Hell's Kitchen - Funky inside :) - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This place looks like it would be really fun in the evening. But we were there for breakfast. We were seated quickly. The server brought water and menu's just as fast. I had the breakfast burrito and my husband had the walleye scramble . everything hot and super delicious. The service was super friendly. I noticed on another website. They talked about the peanut butter. We were talking about the peanut butter and a guest at another table heard us mentioned it and recommended that we try the peanut butter and jelly . The peanut butter is really really good. I wasn't a huge fan of the jelly because it has ginger in it and I'm not a fan of ginger. I would love to go back to this place in the evening to see the show they can put on. This is definitely a must try. read more

If you want a unique dining experience, definitely come here. This restaurant truly recreates an experience of being in "hell" with its creepy yet attentive decor and its location - in the basement of a building. I love how you have to take an elevator down to "hell", aka the basement to get down here. How crazy, yet cool is that! Great move on the business's end to truly live up to their name. There is also live music available depending on when you come here, which is a nice treat. Service is also quick and friendly and I found the prices pretty reasonable. I think they also validate parking here too which is nice. The lemon ricotta pancakes, or whatever they are called officially here, are absolutely to die for. Believe the hype here folks, it's truly amazing. Their tater tots are also not to be skipped too. I don'T live in Minneapolis but if I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely make sure to check this place out. read more

Enter the restaurant at 8:10 AM, they have been open 10 minutes. Me: Party of one. Hostess: That will be a 10 to 15 minute wait. Me: Pardon? *looks around at an empty restaurant* Hostess: We don't have the people to serve even a group of one. Would you like to wait? Me: Ohhhh, that's okay. Very, very bizarre. read more

Celebrated Matriarcs Birthday. Heroveous Rancheros was disappointing. Couldn't say for certain there was an actual egg & it's authentically should have yolk eggs. Other guests said their dishes were OK. Pricey, but employee owned makes the typical higher prices of resturaunts worth it. Bloody Mary/Mimosa Bar first experience. Good service & interesting.​​ read more

Hell's Kitchen was an amazing and fun experience. First off the staff was amazing. Fun, nice, and had good energy. I 100% recommend the mimosa and bloody mary bar. It costs extra of course but definitely worth the experience. The hashbrowns were delicious, PS we added the cheese and bacon, YUM! read more

The food was delicious. I wanted a burger that didn't cost me an arm and a leg in the downtown area and this place was it. Staff were friendly, service was good, it's a good place to have dinner with friend(s). read more

The best thing about Hell's Kitchen is the fun theming and the fact that it is in downtown Minneapolis (close to lots of event venues so you can grab some food and drinks before your play or sporting event). The Bloody Mary Bar and and mimosa bars are pretty fun since you can pick your spirit and make your own ratio for the bloody mary mix and any topping that you can fit from the long hall. However, I wouldn't recommend this spot for a large group brunch experience. I have been twice in the past year, and the experience have both been average. The first time we went with a group of 6 and the kitchen was slow. We waited almost an hour for our food, and our churro tator tots ended up being salty (we were told they were mistakenly salted). The lemon ricotta hot cakes were pretty good, but not sure if I would be willing to wait, but our waiter was friendly, so we went back a second time with a group of 7. The food was still slow to come out. Our group had ordered bloody mary's and we had almost finished the drinks by the time the food arrived. We also ordered two coffees, and I had to remind the person waiting on us that we ordered coffees but she only gave one to the table and didn't come back to ask of we wanted cream (or to check that everyone got what they needed). We were charged for the second coffee, but she took it off when we brought it up. Foodwise, a member of our group said the bison hash was not very flavorful, and I got the Huevos Rancheros bacon and so did another member of the table. Growing up in the Southwest, I know MN Huevos Rancheros would be different, so the fried tortilla, eggs beans and most of the toppings were fine but for some reason they had sweet salsa, which threw me off. I thought it was me being picky, but the other person who ordered didn't like the sweet salsa either. Overall, I am giving three stars because for the price and two experiences I have, I would probably not come back for the brunch. The food was just okay and the bloody mary bar is fun, but not sure if it's enough since there are a ton of other brunch options downtown. read more

Not at all related to Hell's Kitchen by Gordon Ramsey, but this is a fun little lively place. Food was just okay and kind of pricey. I got the pear sandwich which was alright. It's conveniently in downtown if you're near the convention center. It has a quirky vibe to it and the bartender was friendly even though I just had lunch at the bar. read more

i am in town for business and I am staying at The Hilton Minneapolis. Although I researched a lot of restaurants, their sign popped at me when I went by the block. After looking over the menu, I realized that I must stop by! There were too many choices that I wanted. I opted for the deconstructed egg roll salad (not exactly the correct name) and this was delicious; spicy, tangy, veggie, everything I was looking for... If I were them, I would throw some type of rice noodle something on top- maybe some fried noodles? It may compete with the peanuts, though. I opted for no protein on top so I selected the coconut chocolate tart, and I polished off the entire thing. I want to go back to try the Walleye fritters and the peanut butter ice cream which they make in house. read more

What a fun restaurant/bar! I love the vibe and aesthetic; they had a big screen playing classic cartoons on Boomerang. The service fine. I sat at the bar and they took good care of me. I wanted a Juicy Lucy and their's did not disappoint. 10/10 on the burger. I also got the cheese curds from their happy hour menu. I loved the batter and pepper jelly they served with them took them to the next level. read more

Came down to Hell's for the "pop-up brunch" for their soft opening since closing down for the pandemic. Sadly it did not go so well, if my brunch was any indication of what they need to work on, they have a ways to go before opening up full time. We were super excited to come back to HK and even more excited to see the new menu items. But everything started down hill when our table was being neglected. Just when we were thinking they forgot about us, we could hear the staff actually say "I forgot they were over there"(heads up, voices travel in a limited seating dining room). So I (finally) ordered my very much anticipated Bison Benedict waffles, however upon arrival, it was the regular Bison Benedict. After I sent it back it took another 12 min. The staff said they entered it wrong and gave the excuse that "they are training" and "it's been a year and a half since I've waited on tables......but I've worked here for ten years", to me that can be interpreted a number of ways. I'm sure the apology was sincere, but on such an important weekend you think my meal would have been comped. Even after acknowledging multiple times that they were making us wait, they still kept neglecting us. Even at the end it took another 20 min to get our check and even then it was because they happened to glance over and see me signaling. My meal itself was just ok. The eggs were overdone and the sauce was very thick and the waffles didn't really add anything special to the flavor. My wife ordered the Huevos which she said was awesome as usual. We both ordered cocktails which were also very good. Overall the main reason for three stars was the horrible service. I'll be back once Hell's gets their act together but won't be ordering the Bison Benedict waffles again. read more

What happened?! I used to go to Hell's Kitchen monthly for breakfast meetings and my go-to was always a big bowl of their mahnomin porridge -- a masterful concoction of wild rice, dried blueberries, dried cranberries, maple syrup and roasted hazelnuts. One of the best things on the menu. See photo below from their website. Admittedly, it's been two years but I was excited to see it was still on the menu. So I ordered it. Imagine my surprise when the server delivered a tiny (!) cupful of its classic dish. The portion was shockingly and noticeably small (I counted six spoonfuls) and left me wanting more. The photo on the website is definitely misleading. Please don't skimp on the portions. Or at least offer more than one size. Many of us -- myself included -- would gladly pay more for a satisfying bowl instead of a skimpy teaser. read more

Hell's Kitchen - Live music of Cornbread Harris during Saturday brunch. - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

What I liked most was the ambiance. Walking in, you had to go downstairs where it's all dark and decorated kinda like it wanted to be a haunted mansion. Inside was very diner-y with a dark vibe. I got the huevos rancheros which is one of their most popular dishes and it was just okay. There was a tortilla on the bottom and I do like how they topped it with hash browns. There was also black beans, scrambled eggs, and cheese on top. What helped the dish was the salsa and their Minnesota made hot sauce but otherwise, it was pretty bland, like something I could make at home. Unfortunately, it was also pretty lukewarm when it came out so that didn't help either. I also got 1 of their lemon ricotta pancake for "dessert" and asked for it to come out when I was done with my meal. It was topped with fresh berries and powdered sugar. I personally don't like it as much with the syrup. That was pretty good, light and fluffy but I would only get it if i'm sharing and not a whole meal. I was by myself but I can see how it's a fun place with friends, but the food was nothing to really come for. read more

My son took us here, he had heard about it but never tried it. Fun atmosphere, great drinks and awesome food. Servers were friendly and nice. We had the fried cheese curd app and it was delicious. All 4 of us had different variations of the smash burger, definitely recommended! The seasoned fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The coleslaw was fresh and delicious. Dessert was shared, cheesecake and the peanut butter marshmallow cup. Also great choices! The cocktails and beer were served quickly and were cold and delicious. Fun place to go and food was generous portions and very g!! Definitely worth the trip! read more

Hell's Kitchen - Churro Ice Cream Sandwich - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Three things make me happy when going out to eat: 1. A clean & attractive establishment 2. Good service 3. Great food 4. Live music The interior/exterior is very attractive. I got Speakeasy vibes because of the entrance colors and you have to walk down to a basement to get in the restaurant, but no worries, all customers get access to the wi-fi password. The chandelier in the entrance is decorated with knives (which is quite creative), but the creativity doesn't stop there. The Bloody Mary Bar has limitless options and you could create an entire meal in a glass. The entrees are eye catching as well. I had an 11:30am reservation and they sat us at 11am. Kahlila was my waitress. She was so pleasant, knowledgeable and offered suggestions. The candied bacon on the deviled eggs, added a little extra flavor. I was apprehensive about the Lemon Ricotta Hotcakes, but she reassured me that they were delicious and she was right! I would order more in a heartbeat!!! I am a fan of live music and they did not disappoint. The band was really good. They were an appropriate noise level and gave me a little something to snap my fingers to. This has become a new favorite. The ambiance, food and service makes it well worth it if you are in the Minneapolis area. read more

I've been a frequent flyer down the stairway to Hell('s Kitchen). Most notably, this was my friend group's pre-prom dinner spot and a few years later, an anniversary dinner spot before a Wild hockey game. Most recently, I visited with a group of foodie friends for a Saturday brunch. Life sure is better down in Hell. Our server was friendly and very communicative. He informed us right away that the kitchen was behind on orders and later when we had a small issue with a dish, he took care of it promptly. Super service! Mistakes happen and some things are beyond control - I was very appreciative of how it was all handled. Also there's a parking ramp connected to the building Hell's Kitchen is located in. The day we visited, parking was $5 flat, which was a good deal for downtown mpls. Not sure if this is just a weekend thing, but worth looking into before you go! As for the specifics: Strawberry Mimosa - champagne with strawberry puree - tasted good and sounded good in theory but the purée ended up separating and floating around the drink a bit, occasionally creating a weird texture. I don't regret ordering it, but I'd venture to try another cocktail next time (of which there are many to pick from)! Lemon Ricotta Waffle - I've loved the Lemon Ricotta Hotcakes previously and wanted to try the waffles this time. I actually loved the waffle format even more! Very fluffy and great lemon flavor. The berries on top were the perfect touch. I would 100% order this again. Churro Tots - tater tots tossed with sugar and cinnamon and served with caramel sauce - so this was the dish that came out incorrectly at first. It was accidentally salted before the sugar and cinnamon so it tasted sooo salty. I asked our server about it and he said the salt must've been an accident. The second time the churro tots came out they were delicious!! Still a potato, but a dessert potato. The caramel sauce was a bit thinner too, which I appreciated because it made the tots easier to dip!! Their other tot options looked good too so I'd try something else next time, but that doesn't mean these weren't great! :) If you're thinking about going to Hell's Kitchen... I'll see you there & I hope you enjoy your stay :) read more

Very interesting restaurant, chill atmosphere. Service was great but the portions were too big. It felt wasteful.

My sister and I came to dinner here for the first time on December 29th after a particularly emotional day after visiting our mother in the hospital. We were lucky enough to be placed in Brandon's section. He is an absolute treasure of a human being and he brought the perfect amount of humor and conversation to turn our night into a positive one! He recommended his favorites based on a few questions he asked us and my sister ended up with the lemon ricotta pancakes which were phenomenal and dare I say I got one of the best burgers I've ever had! We also each went home with a container of your delicious fry seasoning. My margarita was also perfect. My husband and I are coming back up this week and I will be bringing him in on Friday night! Cant wait to eat here again. read more
