Fried pickles
Hailey H.

Stopped in at margaritaville while shopping at MOA. The atmosphere was fun and beachy! I order the blueberry margarita which K enjoyed and we got fried pickles for the table. They have homemade ranch which was a plus for me. I also got the club sandwich, it was pretty decent but I don't think I would order again.

Service was extremely slow. What was supposed to be a quick lunch took almost 2 hours! Felt like our server was holding us hostage :/ Food is decent, nothing special. Recommend skipping if you are tight on time!

Jimmy Buffet Day cup
Kara C.

We've been to the Mall of America several times, but this weekend (Labor Day weekend), was the first time we've visited MARGARITAVILLE. We're staying at the Radisson Blu attached to the mall, so it seemed like a good spot to hang out. We found out that it was Jimmy Buffet Day on Friday, so we stopped in to get a tshirt. Saturday, we met some friends for dinner. I'm not thrilled about the menu as I'm not a seafood person, but my daughter and I enjoyed the fried pickles appetizer and I got a side salad. I ordered a beer in a Jimmy Buffet Day glass and my daughter got the drink in a bucket (can't remember the name). The bucket drink lacked alcohol. But, overall, food access service was ok. Sunday, my daughter and I sat at the bar at 6:45. Even though the mall closes at 7, the restaurant closes at 9. At 7, someone was told last call happened 15 minutes prior, we had no idea. But they served them anyway. Apparently when the mall closes, they can't serve alcohol. But they kept serving at the bar. People trying to get a table in the restaurant after 7 were told they're closing soon so they left. When the manager was finally out front, she was seating guests. Long story short, it was just a mess. Oh, and someone was trying to purchase merch, but they said only the manager could do that and she might be done with that. They got her and the items were purchased, but the customer waited 15 minutes. Just seemed like the employees were being lazy and trying to get out early. Desserts were good as well as the drinks. Our bartender didn't let us know she was leaving or going on break, but we were pretty much ignored. Would I return? I don't know. Definitely not towards the end of the day.

Chipotle Steak Bowl
Kalyn E.

Overall, had a pretty solid meal here! The vibes are fun - on par for typical Margaritaville restaurants. Our waiter was good. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. My chipotle steak rice bowl was very good! And it was a nice departure from the typical burger and fries you find all over the mall. Would go back!

Bring your glasses and read the fine print before you make the wild assumption that you and your friend will get half off on a margarita. The fine print says "no sharing". Crazy bait and switch on a margarita

Coconut shrimp
Dana S.

Pro: Cocktails were good, strong and nice portions. Cons: Restaurant was dead at lunch time. Hostess was lifeless and didn't seem to want to be there. Not a place for healthy eating and today was a cheat meal. Wouldn't order this dish again (coconut shrimp) the shrimp felt gummy as the texture inside was off. Disappointed as this is not Margaritaville experience we are used to having.

Our Nachos
Maria D.

Let's just say we were not disappointed! The food options were astounding! We chose from the appetizer menu to start and realized we ONLY needed Nachos! The portion was ginormous! Between the three of us we barely put a dent! The ambiance was fun and the music was great! We sat at the bar and made small talk with the staff and bartenders. For the most part they were very friendly to the customers. The only notable part of the service was the bartender who was training newer staff was very impatient with him. The new bartender was looking defeated with all the demands. He really was doing great without all the barking. Otherwise, it was a fun experience!

The cocktails are delicious! This is the Lime in da Coconut and the Bahamas Mama.
Jitt B.

We went here for our grandson's birthday and it was a fun experience! The staff gave him a birthday shout out and brought out a bowl of ice cream for him. He was so excited and happy! Needless to say, the service and staff were wonderful and so attentive! The food was amazing! We all loved what we had ordered and it was so delicious! For a Saturday night, it was very busy and it took some time to get our food - but the little wait was worth it! The vibe was colorful, lively and so fun! The cocktails were spot on and so fun and delicious! We'll definitely dine here again! Highly recommended - you won't regret it.

We ventured over here with some friends who knew the DJ curating the tunes that night. For a…read moreweeknight, it was getting pretty full by the time we strolled in, but luckily we were still able to secure a table for four. The space itself isn't terribly large, and it looked like there were only three or four people working that evening. After being seated, it took a while before we were able to order our first round of drinks. Normally I don't focus much on service in reviews, but we could immediately tell our waitress was not having a great night. We were forgotten about a few times, but eventually managed to order some small bites, including a charcuterie board and some pretty yummy cheese curds. When we finally caught her for our second round, I complimented her glasses since they were similar to mine, partially in an attempt to cheer her up. I was met with a glare and a mumbled "thanks." When she walked away, all four of us kind of looked at each other like... dang, we're not sure what we did. Having all worked in service ourselves, we try to be respectful, stack our dishes, wipe up after ourselves, and generally make things easier where we can. Oddly enough, when it came time to pay, she returned with a completely different attitude... suddenly cheerful, friendly, and telling us to have a great night. Honestly, the whole interaction was a little bizarre! Service aside, the cocktails were balanced and genuinely good, the food was slightly elevated and hit the spot, and the atmosphere was great, especially with the DJ playing that night. We decided to Uber since we knew we'd be drinking, so I can't speak firsthand to parking, although it looked like street parking could be moderately difficult depending on the night. I'd still go back if I were in the area and the night warranted it. My guess is we caught them on an off night or they ended up busier than anticipated.

I showed up with one other friend and one of the servers said the booths were reserved for larger…read moregroups but we saw groups of two sitting there and we were sat at a table with 4 chairs. Music is played with cassettes which is 80/90s so that vibe is cool. Most of the crowd was 45+. I had the Pear which is NA and apple cider vinegar notes... the fries were so yummy and perfect but they only give you 4.

If you haven't been to a Brazilian steakhouse before this is an experience worth trying out! Servers with different cuts of amazing meats will come around to your table to serve you. They are all very quick and friendly. Special requests for something specific is welcomed as well. They also have a large buffet for salads and sides. In addition, there servers will come around providing an assortment of appetizers. Here's what to expect: - You are given a card to place on your table. One side of the card is green and the other side is red. The green card lets the servers know that you are still dining and waiting for the different cuts if meat to come to your table. The red card means you see taking a break or are done dining. You get to flip the card whenever you are ready. - You can make special requests for your choice of meats to be served to your table. You can also make special requests for any appetizers you would like: plantains, mashed potatoes, fried corn bread. - If you're celebrating a birthday, mention this to your server and you can get a complementary dessert! This is one of the best Brazilian steakhouse we've been to and would definitely come back again! What a great experience!! Highly recommended!
