One of my top 5 favorite wings near the twin cities! Runyon's is a pub at the edge of downtown and north loop. They are known for their Buffalo wings with an award winning 36 year recipe! They don't have a variety of wings and just your standard Buffalo but have been a staple in the cities and cooked to perfection! Perfect for having some beer and watching the Vikings game! Lots of paid street parking nearby. read more

IF you are looking for a spot to go to, to get some wings, then look no further. I was only visiting MSP and they told me about this spot. We decided to go for some drinks and some wings. If you are looking to watch a sporting game, this place is a great spot with lots of TV's and places to sit. Which is also a problem cause this place was packed with people and there was no place to sit when we arrived. So just like a hawk we waiting for people to get up, once we nabbed a table we ordered something called a grape ape. OMG, was that a sugar rush to the head. (trust me you should have one! MSP is known for them) Then we ordered some wings and other drinks. The wings were delicious and meaty! The Buffalo sauce was perfect with the ranch dressing! the service was also very friendly and nice! They are definitely capable of handling the rush and getting out drinks quickly! We will definitely go back! read more

If you don't get the wings, you're doing it wrong. Their wings are huge! With 3 of us, we couldn't get through a double order.

Bartenders and servers are all great, but there is definitely an understaff situation happening. Seemed like there was just not enough hands on deck to handle the amount of folks that come here for their amazing burger and wings. Great selection of local beers. Great place to watch sports. Great food. Great servers who clearly just need more support. read more

There were a lot of complaints about service but the server we had was great. Food took a while to come out but that was expected because the place was packed. The wings lived up to their name. They were very crispy and well sauced. Had a wonderful merlot with a superb fruity taste. In a nice part of Minneapolis. read more

I'm always on the hunt for the best bleu cheese dressing in Minneapolis, and this comes in the number 2 spot for sure! As you can see we ordered 3 full sized portions of it. Insider tip, you can order a extra large portion of the bleu cheese for five dollars, and you can take it home with you! What a great find! The buffalo shrimp was amazing. It was not breaded it was cooked perfectly, and the buffalo sauce paired nicely with it! The fries top notch, they remind me of the fresh cut fries from the state fair! lastly, the wings, these by far are my favorite wings in Minneapolis! They are deep-fried perfectly, the chicken was moist, and not dry, the sauce is amazing, and the price is great too! The menu is minimal, but that just means that they've perfected a few items and they're really good! read more

Runyon's - Bar area. - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Being in the area for some time, with the Twins' games and spirit, I've been craving for some good Buffalo Wings. Runyon's popped up as one of the top Buffalo Wings spots in the area, known for their over 3 decades award winning Buffalo Sauce recipe. I finally decided to stop by. It's a nice cozy sports bar and restaurant. It definitely is a popular spot, being packed with a good amount of people. I went with their Basket of Wings and Fries. The fries were decent fries. But let's cut to the chase. How were the wings? First bite... Definitely a solid wing and a solid Buffalo sauce. Were the wings crispy? Not really (covered in sauce, duh). Was it moist? Yes. I don't have the taste buds of a chef, but it definitely has some nice flavors. A nice buffao tang, and I noticed it had little nutty notes. It has a nice small kick of heat (not a painful heat or anything you can't handle). That was my first initial thought: Its a solid Buffalo Wing. But... it did felt a little overhyped. Until... I kept eating. The more wings I ate, the more I just loved the wings, and definitely the sauce. And at the end of my meal, I was hooked. You know a spot is good when you leave and your last thought about it is: "I'll be back." The spot was dope with a nice vibe. The wings were definitely amazing. I don't want to overhype it, but if you're in the area and are craving for solid Buffalo Wings, I'd definitely reccomend Runyon's. read more

Runyon's - Basket of wings and fries - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Overpriced and the wings are typical, nothing special. Fries were good , but I would go to KFC before heading back there.

I must say I have heard the hype about the wings for a while and finally had the opportunity to get to try it. We had a group of about 7 of us on mothers day (judge if you must but it was requested by the mothers). We got there early and was able to secure the large table in the back that could easily fit 10. The rest of the tables allow about 4 and we originally planned on doing 2 tables but one of the workers told us about this table. The service was great and they are your typical dive bar you go to for basic drinks with no flare. The star of the show was the wings. They are so perfect and fantastic! We ordered two party platters for the 7 of us and we all ate lots and still had leftovers to take home. The blue cheese dressing is good and I am not much of a fan of blue cheese. read more

The wings are seriously the best! I absolutely loved them. The place was super clean and the staff went above and beyond. Perfect spot to watch any playoff game or sporting event as they had a ton of TVs. Even if you are looking for a low key date night spot this would be perfect! read more

Runyon's - Wings with sweet potato fries - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hands down best wings I've had in Minneapolis. Super meat, no frills but perfectly executed buffalo wings. Solid sports bar/dive feel with lots of TVs for viewing at the bar or surrounding tables. It's never been super packed when I've gone so the service has been great. Always look forward to going back! read more

I honestly love Runyon's! The 4 is because the service is usually pretty meh. Slow, servers forget about you, drinks aren't correct. Not always but it's usually the case. The beer selection is also terrible! But they really do make up for it in the food. We usually get their wings (dry, extra crispy, buffalo sauce and blue cheese on the side), chili cheese fries, and a cheeseburger. It's quite pricey but we're willing to pay it because it's really pretty good. I wish they added more chili to the fries. If you're not picky with drinks, this place hits. If you want a big beer selection, probably could go to another spot. Food is great though! read more

If wings are what you want, wings are what you're going to get. Classic buffalo wings, range of portion sizes available. Highly recommend the blue cheese, absolutely delicious! Overall good atmosphere and solid food. Can't say they're my favorite wings in the cities but they're quality and dependable. read more

I love buffalo wings so I've tried many different places and no where beats here. Dine in or take out, it's always easy and reliable.

Best classic wings in town! I normally don't like blue cheese and their blue cheese is amazing too!

Runyons is one of my all time favorite Wing spots. They have been serving up their delicious Buffalo flavored Wings for over 35 years. The wings are juicy and flavorful. If you haven't been, check them out next time you're in downtown Minneapolis! * RUNYON'S WINGS- Buffalo Flavored Wings served with celery and blue cheese. read more

Oh Runyon's, honestly I don't know how I haven't gotten around to reviewing this place before! I've been here loads of times and have only been let down once. My friends and I went on a Wing Tour and visited all the "best wing places" in the Twin Cities and each individually reviewed each one, Runyon's ended up winning. Their bleu cheese is amazing, and the wings are always crispy and delicious. If someone is looking for amazing wings I'll always recommend Runyon's! read more

This is the wife's and my go to for wings and they have never disappointed! I am a "traditional wing" snob and this is the only place we'll go in the Twin Cities. The fries and cole slaw are also exactly how we both like them. Keep it up my friends! read more

GREAT and I mean GREAT wings. These wings have it all. Good size, delicious buffalo sauce, the blue cheese and ranch are spectacular. The other thing that's exceptional is the Black and Blue burger. Great vibes in here and good service. One of the legitimate spots in Minnesota. read more

I've been a couple of times. It's a solid bar. Pretty decent to good beer selection. Food is bar fare. Service is always good. Not a bad spot to pony up to the bar if you can find a spot. Feels like a neighborhood place but not like a townie bar either. read more

Runyon's - Wing combo - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Wings were awesome .... Only one kind so you dont have to think about it... service was quick.

Disappointed that they shut down before halftime of the twovles game last night. Yankees in town, wolves fans out trying to catch the game and they stopped serving food at 10 and closed at 11. They even turned away a Yankees player. I get having regular hours but there were 40-50 people there last night that got turned away. Wings are obviously great, but might need to start looking elsewhere. read more

Buffalo wings are not my go to, ever, but these wings were pretty good. It came out steaming hot with the right amount of sauce on it. But I would say the highlight was the burger. We ordered the French burger, which is a burger pressed with thin sliced onions and pickles on top. To me, it tasted like a White Castle burger...yummy! The chili fries deluxe was delicious too. The only thing underwhelming was the coleslaw. The place was busy on a Friday evening and definitely short staffed because we waited for our food for quite some time. read more

Best wings in the Twin Cities? No. It's hard to be considered "the best" when you only offer one flavor of wings: Buffalo. Also, it seems that buffalo sauce hardly differentiates itself wherever you order it. On the positive side, the wings themselves were cooked well and had a great crispy texture. I also appreciated the even coating of sauce. I hate when my wings are swimming in sauce. Overall they were good but overrated. The vibe is cool. There's a LARGE, maybe 65" TV, above the door right when you walk in. Any table facing the street is a good spot to sit if you're planning to watch a game. read more

Runyon's - Buffalo Wings (Party Size: 30 Wings) - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I dont know why it's taken me so long to visit Runyons. I literally drive by daily and it's been suggested to me a few times to stop by there to get good wings. That's how I ended up there. I was leaving a funeral in North Minneapolis and really wanted some wings and used my trusty Yelp app to determine where to get some keto friendly wings. It's cute little bar, hard to find parking, but i lucked up on a great parking spot a few doors down. The decor is cool... Mpls Yuppy meets artistic eye, meets bar decor... i liked it; it felt juuuust right. Wings were dope and simple. Buffalo sauce, no batter, keto friendly, and they taste good! I'll be back! read more

Runyon's is an old school bar with some tv's thats decent for watching a game. Parking isn't ideal which is the case for every restaurant in the North Loop. Runyon's doesn't have a website and they don't do online ordering. With the current stay-at-home order you can call to order and they will bring your order to your car. Go to Runyon's for the wings as its a Minneapolis institution. Buffalo wings aren't very spicy but they are the best in the city. Sauce is buttery packing some authentic buffalo flavor. They apparently have a secret buffalo sauce I was unaware of so I would try that next time I go. Always recommend getting them extra crispy for that extra crunch. Getting a order of fries is never a bad idea either from Runyon's to complement the best buffalo wings in the city. There are 3 ordering sizes for Runyon's wings which are essentially by the dozen. read more

Runyon's - Medium order of Runyon's wings - American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

My wife and I came here for something different, as we haven't been to a bar together since our daughter was born. I've been here once and knew the wings were the thing to get, and we got a double plate! She ordered an impossible burger, which she said was very good, along with some chili fries on the side which she loved. I took care of her side serving of cole slaw, which was one of the better cole slaws I've ever had. But like everyone says, the wings are where it's at. They are big, crunchy, fully covered in a delicious buffalo sauce that is the perfect amount of heat. It comes with a side of either ranch or bleu cheese, which is good but really not even necessary. Our server was very friendly, very quick, and overall excellent. We'll definitely be coming back another time, even if just for some wings. read more

Incredible service! Great interaction with the staff! The selection of on tap beers were good. However ultimately the wings were exceptional!!! I went early in the day and still the vibe was very chill! Highly recommend if you're in Minneapolis it's definitely worth a visit or two!! read more

The chicken wings come in one flavor, original, and they are excellent. The fries are also excellent. Nice cold beer too.

This is my first review, but these wings are so good I have to let the world know. If you like the standard Buffalo wing, this is the best in Minneapolis, no question. It's also the only wing flavor they have so you don't have to worry about picking the wrong flavor. Get it with ranch, and then realize you didn't even need the ranch because the Buffalo sauce is enough. read more
