Stopped here after a full day of traveling. It's convenient since it's in the hotel lobby, open late, and has a really Chic atmosphere. There were multiple servers throughout the evening helping us out. Most of them were quite friendly. I ordered a bowl of chicken and rice soup which was absolutely delicious. It came with a side roll which was wonderful! It was cheesy and chivey and the right amount of density and air. I was with a group, so we also ordered the bacon artichoke flatbread and the loaded chips. Both items came quickly to the table and were very tasty. If you're looking for a quick and tasty meal after a day of traveling, this is the place to come. read more

Prairie Kitchen & Bar - Lobby view looking towards the restaurant - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Service 5/5! Ambiance 5:5 Food 5/5 Wait time for food was 3/5 , maybe they were busy. Took a long while for the food. It's next to the hotel lobby but it does the job if you are traveling alone and don't feel comfortable wondering out alone! I don't blame others feeling that way to stay safe. It's wild out there these days. read more

I'll start out with the staff as they are truly five stars. The host was very upbeat and friendly and the waitress was funny and welcoming. The ambiance is ok I mean it's in a hotel and nothing that is going to blow you away. It serves its purpose and is clean and well kept. The food is just average especially for the price. I never complain about the price of food when it's quality and something unique. This is just average food that you could get at any sports bar really. Overall it's an average place with fantastic service. read more

Prairie Kitchen & Bar - Pastrami Rueben and chicken wild rice soup - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Staying at the Hyatt, came down for a last minute dinner after working late. Ordered the Strauss Burger and a D-Furious. The service was friendly, the beer was cold and the burger was disappointing. Not a surprise, but was hoping for a more. read more

Food was amazing! Service was very good. Would definitely go back. A delight for a hotel restaurant. read more

What a fabulous restaurant to have at the hotel! I was super tired and got in a bit late but thankfully they were still offering dinner. It was AMAZING! I had a beautiful plate of salmon, veggies, and salad. I also treated myself to some ice cream for dessert. Everything was perfect and I loved the seasoning on the salmon! The ice cream was also great! read more

So disappointing when the hotel only has one food option and at a busy work convention so it becomes the only real option for quick breakfast or lunch/dinner. All food was really awful. Had a few meals here with coworkers and salmon, soup, club wrap, chicken tender meal and breakfast were all tried by us and consensus on all food was the same. I don't know how oatmeal can be so messed up but it was. They served a massive bowl of oatmeal with a whisper of the seed mix and 5 blueberries and 6 slices of banana. I asked server for more blueberries and she brought out a couple more. She was clearly in a bad mood and won't call her out as her life might be hard but the service isn't doing any favors for the subpar food. Bartenders were nice enough and attentive enough at night but would stick to beer and wine over cocktails. Really wish Hyatt made more of an effort with food options if they are going to be go to convention spot. read more

Excellent in filling wild rice soup with Lucious cheddar biscuit! The bartender was also kind enough to make a brandy hot toddy for me as I started feeling a bit under the weather. Cozy and friendly people all around ! read more

Great service great food. Why three stars? Thats just wrong-Im giving 5stars. Its a hotel restaurant and it's definitely reasonably priced in that context and food and service is fabulous. I ordered a diet soda and the server was so excited to tell me they have diet Dr Pepper I just had to have one... she was awesome. I got the heirloom tomato soup- the spoonbread with butter was to die for. Flakey and herby. The soup was a little spicy byt comforting. Then I had the walleye fish sandwich( recommended by my server) and lovd it!!! Juicy and crispy with these lovely pickled onions. The brioche bread was light and fluffy rather than heavy and dence. Im so happy with my meal! read more

Boyfriend and I stayed here this past weekend for my birthday, we stopped at the prairie a few times and it was amazing each time. Jazz was a wonderful server/bartender and made the best espresso martini I've ever had. I will be thinking about that martini for the rest of my life. read more

Delicious food, beautifully plated and freshly prepared. Superb soup and salads. Great bar selection! Friendly and attentive waitstaff!

Location - GREAT Bartenders - GREAT Drinks - Very Good, but expensive Food - Does not meet expectations of a location like this. The food was late and cold and if you can't make a Ruben sandwich, you need some serious help from Chef Ramsey. read more

Prairie Kitchen & Bar is located inside of the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. I visited here several times during my stay at the hotel - a couple of times for breakfast, once for a private reception, once for dinner, and once for an Ale. Breakfast: One morning I had an omelette - with spinach, mushrooms, onions, and cheddar with a side of bacon. The omelette was well made and the bacon was delicious! The second morning I had a Brisket Hash - succulent chopped brisket intermingled with scrambled eggs and hash browns. Very rich and tasty! I had a wild rice soup one evening - hearty and filling! Good beer selection - I had a local craft beer from Surly Brewing Co., Minneapolis, MN. Service was always good. Lots of seating in the bar - and a number of large flat screen HD TVs! #PrairieKitchenandBar read more

Ok guys, get it together. This is a beautiful property that charges a lot for food and beverage. The back bar is covered in dust. If you're going to have a bunch of knick knacks up to the ceiling, keep them clean! The bar service could be more polished as well. Asked what I wanted without offering a menu/wine list first. Then, my companion ordered a Bulliet Rye Manhattan and we watched her make a Manhattan with Maker's Mark. It was not stirred, shaken, or served with a stir stick. Then walked away without asking if we wanted any food. All while telling other patrons "I'll be right with you". It wasn't that busy. Or, the manager should step in and help during short rushes. Seriously, no manager seen. read more

I arrived at the Hyatt Regency Hotel for a conferemce and decided to stay in for the first night and try the Prairie Kitchen and Bar located inside the hotel.  I sat at the bar during their happy hour, which is daily from 4 - 6 pm.  All appetizers on their shorter list (not the dinner sheet, you need the book) are half off during happy hour. Service was not very prompt and the bartender seemed overly busy and disinterested in the patrons.  Once I got the menu I chose two starters -- the cheese curds and the BBQ chicken flatbread. Flatbread didn't have much bbq flavoring. It did have a pineapple pico/also that complimented what little bbq you did taste. The cheese curds were delicious and come with a side of ranch. Could definitely taste the beer in the batter and complimented the cheese well. Once the bill came, I was disappointed to see they did not give me the half off appetizers. After ringing up the bill, the bartender informed me they could not correct the bill but would offer me a voucher for a free appetizer. Since I'm staying for a few days, I said that would suffice. Second night in: I wandered down to the bar about 6:30 pm on a Tuesday. The bartender seemed more attentive than my previous visit and was friendlier. I ordered the Strauss grass fed beef burger topped with blue cheese and a side of fries.  You get to choose your cheese topping from Swiss, cheddar or blue cheese. Burger was supposed to have caramelized onions, but just had raw red onion and should have had an aioli, but it did not. Overall, decent burger, but a little pricey.  Also, Pepsi products only and be prepared to pay $4.50 for a glass of soda. They are very accommodating to give you a to-go glass of soda if you ask. read more

Service was fine. Place is clean. The music is loud and discordant to the decor. If you're staying at the Hyatt Regency, I suspect you can find better fare elsewhere. The food had a nice presentation, but the Rainbow trout entree with haricots vert was on a paste of sweetish goo. (I'm not sure what it was....potatoes maybe?) Everything had too much oil, including the beans which tasted like a greasy grill. The trout was light and well-cooked, but lacked seasoning. The highlight was the beer battered cheese curds. The batter was super light and delish. If you want to hang out with friends, order drinks and a bowl of these. read more

We had a very nice dinner here last night. The bartender fashioned a tasty non-alcoholic cocktail for my wife and I enjoyed a beer from their eclectic on-tap choices. She loved her spinach salad and my burger was generous. Service was prompt and attentive. read more

Average food for a hotel. They do have good wings. It was also the only thing on the menu besides a cheeseburger that sounded good. I do remember their menu had more choices in times past. I was told they were in a limited menu because the hotel was full and the kitchen got too overwhelmed. Here's an idea, train your staff!!! Or create a menu somewhere in between that you can handle. It was very disappointing read more

Overpriced, poor quality food and long wait for food as well. I had a burger that was hardly warm and not appetizing at all, coffee was about room temp. The best part of the meal was the accompanying fresh fruit cup. It was great. Five Guys Burgers is a much better choice. In fact, so is McDonald's. read more

I ate at the bar so don't know if its really the restaurant (but its my preferred spot when on the road). Way ABOVE AVERAGE for a hotel joint! Very friendly bartenders (thanks for the iphone help), and an EXCELLENT local beer on tap - GRAIN BELT- you cant stop at just one. I ordered the angus burger, and it was more than enough. Excellent flavor and decent cheese....very good bun....fries were soggy and not worth it. Its a Tuesday night and was starting to get crowded as I was leaving around 9:30, 1 angus burger 13.95 2 Grain Belt 12.00 total - $28.25 read more

Located inside the Hyatt, this is a surprisingly fresh and modern take on Midwest cuisine. The atmosphere is so pretty, love the big lamps hanging from the ceiling and the casual clothing the servers wear, it feels very cowgirl/cowboy. The food is locally sourced and organic for many items on the menu. My friends loved that the menu had a choose your own salad option where you pick your greens, dressing, then three toppings. I tried the chicken sandwich with local "Nueske's" bacon and cheese, served on a pretzel bun. I opted to order the side of fries (it was $4 extra) that are bathed in garlic and rosemary. WOW, those fries! I don't love potatoes that much, but these were so good I finished them all. My lunch for just the sandwich and fries with tip was around $19, so it's a little bit fancier of a place to go for lunch, but worth it. Everything tasted so fresh an nicely prepared. If I am in the area I would come back again. read more

The servers and staff are friendly, 5/5. The location is convenient. I rate the food at 2/5. I would only go for drinks and fries because of the location, servers, and ambiance. read more

Poor service. Talkimg about intimate bar business in front of customers... Tipping, what management should do, etc. Bad MoJo. Sticky bar surface because the finish is delaminating. Food was.... ok This is supposed to be in the Hyatt, right? read more

The wings were absolutely fantastic! The amount is plentiful for one and will satisfy a pair to share! I got the maple barbecue wings which were recommended by the bartender and it was everything she promised! My husband enjoyed the battered fries because he said they reminded of some from his childhood. I highly recommend the wings if you are staying at the hotel! read more

Husband and my first meal in the city Friday night. His salmon was cooked perfectly I had brisket that was smoky and amazing. Would definitely eat here again- and honestly I probably would order the same thing!! read more

I hate to do this. The service was appalling when I went here. I would say don't waste your time until better service is in place. The place was near empty when I went, and yet I had to go to the bar to request my bread, butter and drink while I waited for my entrée because the server never came around, and when he did he completely ignored other tables around him who needed service. The table next to me actually went to nearby empty tables to grab empty plates and extra utensils after the server brought their appetizers the service was so bad. The only good service I got was when the general manager replaced the server and took care of my service for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, the one or two tables next to me weren't that lucky. The food itself is not bad - I would give it at least 3 stars. I do think this place has potential...but until service is significantly improved I just can't recommend this place. read more

I stopped in here for breakfast on two of the three days I stayed at the Hyatt. The Great: + The bartender was friendly and she provided me with some bar snacks (pretzels, etc.) when I asked for some. + The servers were friendly during breakfast. The Average: o Quality of food was typical of a hotel restaurant/bar. o Typical prices for a hotel. o The steel cut oats were WAY overcooked, but the myriad of toppings was nice. o The breakfast quiche was average at best. The red onions and pepper sauce were not needed. The Poor: - The host guy was handling flatware at the station as I approached. He dropped a spoon, picked it up, and put it back in the drawer with the clean spoons. Real nice. read more

Read about this place in Minnesota Monthly. We had a good dining experience. Service was very good. The roasted spring beets were excellent and attractively served. I had the Parmesan encrusted walleye with crisp spring beans, artichokes and morels. This combo works very well together: very good-excellent. I tried my wife's trout cakes. They were very good. read more

Whenever I go to MN, I make sure to stop at Prairie Kitchen & Bar for a drink and an appetizer. I know I'm guaranteed great food and service, as well as some fun and delicious drinks. We've been a few times this summer and their outside patio is a fantastic place to enjoy their Happy Hour in the nice weather. All of the servers we've had have been outstanding - on top of refills, checking in on us enough to make sure we were happy but not too often to annoy us, and they had great recommendations for food. The food is delicious - I can't even say what is my favorite - but I know I loved and devoured their fish and chips. If you're in the area, definitely stop in. read more

Great restaurant. Generally I'm not a fan of hotel lobby restaurants, but this ones breakfast, in particular, was fantastic. Great looking buffet, if you do that kind if thing (which I don't). The breakfast menu was excellent. read more

Excellent. A bit expensive but it is in the Hyatt Hotel so it figures to be priced for the elite. I had the best wild rice soup, and the fish n chips which was walleye with fries. Great service. Delivered promptly and very hot. Timely and efficient refills. Fresh delicious coffee. Comfortable seats. Tables with more space than is typical. I will be back. read more

I waited close over 12 hours before posting this review to make sure I was just as dissatisfied the night after eating at this restaurant. We were at this restaurant (party of three) last night and it was awful. Our server was terrible. First, I received the wrong menu, second; the food took forever to appear and when it did it was not hot; third, we were never offered a drinks menu - I guess water was all our server was offering; fourth, our server never (I repeat never) came back to check on us. We waited a good twenty mins or so after we had eaten to see if she would return and she didn't. (She neglected her whole area. Other tables were looking for her too.) I had to go to another server and ask if there had been a shift change. I guess the person in charge them went and got our server so we could cash out. I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone. I'm staying at this hotel for another 2 nights and I'd rather go outside in the cold weather than risk getting another inattentive server who cares little about her customers, their food, or their overall dining experience. read more

We ate here a few times as we stayed at connecting hotel. Overall the food was good. Nothing super fantastic. Had some wings which were actually really delicious. We sampled 4 of their desserts all of which were presented well and tasted sweet. The chocolate mousse was our favorite. It was rich and creamy. The service was slow every time we went so be prepared for your food and service to take a while. read more

We sat on the patio for happy hour, which is mentioned on their website without details. The inside is a really nice remodel from the old TAXI bar. The outside could use a few more accouterments, it was a bit sparse. Maybe some fronds :). The happy hour, which covered beer and wine, I won't mention the prices but they were a pretty good discount from the high regular prices listed. This will be a great HH stop once people find out about it. read more

We loved it!!! Summer squash noodles, black bean burger and the sliders were outstanding!! The service was way above the call of duty!!! Highly advice you to check this place out! read more

I ate lunch here in between a conference I was attending at the convention center and the food was pretty good. The service was quick and nice and the space was very quaint. I had the butternut squash soup and the salmon BLT minus the bacon. The soup was creamy and hearty with a bit of crunch from the candied walnuts on top. After being in a well air conditioned conference all morning this was just what my body needed! To go with my soup I split the salmon BLT with a friend. The salmon was smoked very well and was topped with a fried egg. I imagine bacon lovers would love the combination with bacon but I loved it just fine without. The meal was a perfect sized lunch and priced fairly reasonably for where we were eating, although more than what I would normally spend on a soup and half a sandwich for lunch. read more

Not a bad hotel restaurant. It seems like they really pride themselves in being natural and healthy ("grass fed" meat, "cage free" eggs). If you try to eat food that fit into this category, you will have many options. I've had their pancakes (no topics) with bacon. Very yummy!! I've also had their bison burger. It was good as well. read more
