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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If this was only for the Buffalo wings, Runyon's would easily be a 4/5. Definitely a contender for the best traditional / classic Buffalo wings in the Minneapolis area.

Very simple review - THE BEST WINGS in Minneapolis! Was very busy for a Thursday night, felt bad for the solo server but she did a good job. Gotta love the divey feel and decor - anyone else notice there are pictures of 3 shirtless guys above the bar - Lil Wayne, Jessie the Body Ventura and Kirby Puckett ... hmmmm ... interesting ... nonetheless, stick to the wings and order a lot! My brother also got the ham and cheese sandwich which looked good and had a good portion of legit ham with melted cheddar cheese. I ordered a burger - took maybe two bites and decided to crush about half a dozen wings. The fries are serviceable but not worth filling your belly - save the space for the wings! read more

I'm going to have to get here for some of their wings. After placing my own order, I saw all of the wings coming out in droves for other tables. They looked really good. Any place that has home made blue cheese I am a fan of. I ordered the reuben which was okay. I has asked for it without the thousand island, but he must have forgotten. Not a biggie. Meat was good and just the right thickness. Fries were also good. My friend ordered the burger which looked pretty good. Back to the wings-that will be my next order. Service was okay. read more

This place does get busy so definitely keep that in mind. Luckily I made reservations ahead of time so we had a table waiting for us, otherwise we would have been put on a waiting list since it's a small space. They put us in a corner booth which was nice and spacious enough for 4 people so I'd definitely recommend asking for a booth verse a table if you're planning to come with a larger group. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. I appreciated their attentiveness and sharing what they like best, especially for what's in season based on the time of year. The menu has quite a bit of variety too which is sometimes unexpected when you come to a pub-style location. For appetizers we got Onion Ring and Fried Pickles. They were both really good and served with dipping sauces. Definitely both shareable items so if you're in a group they'd be great options! My entree I chose the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon served with lemon soy marinade, creamy cucumbers, and jasmine rice -- it was SO good!! I loved the creaminess of the cucumbers especially with the rice and than the lemon soy marinade was just a unique touch to the salmon. Toned the flavors down without overpowering acidity. And the salmon was so dreamy, a beautiful pink color that you just knew it wasn't a farm raised salmon. Plus the portion was very generous!! I'd definitely recommend the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon to anyone interested in visiting here. #eatwildsavewild The only negatives (which are more so just knowledge bombs for you): * Restaurant is VERY loud. It's hard to hear because it is one small room that everyone plus the bar is in. I wished I would have took a picture to show what I mean. Just know that if it's an intimate setting you're looking for this is not the place. So be prepared to talk loudly over the loudness and ask "excuse me?" or "repeat that" many times throughout your visit because you're not going to hear everything. * Timed eating. Because this place is a hit with limited seating, once you get a table and complete your meal/payment you'll kindly be asked to leave so that they can clean up and open the table to next in line. Totally get that and am not put off by this at all, but I could see how it could catch some folks off guard especially if you are out for a meal with folks you may not see frequently-- so just keep that in mind. This is not the place to sit and talk post meal. * Parking is limited. Be prepared to walk a few blocks as the road parking in front of the business is pretty limited especially with the other stores and restaurants in the area. Regardless of those few bullets I highly recommend folks visit George & The Dragon. It's a really cool spot and the food was great! Plus theirs a malt shop right next door that looks yummy too, so definitely worth visiting and getting malts after for dessert.

Ambiance is perfect I feel for a family place, not over the top but comfortable? Like your visiting at a friend's house? I don't know- What we especially liked was the smaller amount of "chips" just enough not too much not too little! Portions just right.

Decent menu - including their brunch offering which not as many people lean into. Definitely a great pick for a night out or quick bite / brew on the go.

Stopped by for a quick dinner before a MN Lynx game. Super hot and muggy weather on late Saturday…read moreafternoon. The place was hopping with diners and they had a private party in their second room. We were seated in a both near the open door to the patio but the AC was keeping up and we were comfortable. My wife and ai each ordered a cider. She had a traditional one and I had a passion fruit - guava on tap. Both cool and refreshing. We ordered a salad with chicken and the Reuben sandwich. My wife enjoyed the salad. It was generous in portion, fresh and tasty. The Reuben was hot and fresh. I should have asked for "heavy" sauerkraut as many places tend to go too light for me. This one was as well. The corned beef was extra tasty and gave the impression of being made in house. Fries were crispy and hot. Our server covered a lot of territory that afternoon, both inside and out and did so with calm and "cool" professionalism. We will go back in the future.

Yard House is one of my absolute favorites! It has a different vibe than a lot of the other spots…read morein West End -- still casual and laid-back, but with a more energetic and elevated atmosphere. Their menu is massive, so there's truly something for everyone, and they also have an impressive drink and beer selection. They're especially known for their giant half-yard beers, which are always a fun game-day staple. Along with the classics, they also have some really great elevated cocktails. My go-to order is always the Poke Nachos. I seriously get them every single time -- either to share with a friend or honestly just as my main meal because they're that good!

So it was surprising when we saw a Husker flag outside the bar and people inside. Apparently, this is the official bar for Husker alum and fans to come to for game days! We already plan on stopping by for a game in the future! I wasn't expecting anything when we came into a bar for breakfast, but they had a nice, quick menu for us to choose from. You also had the choice of a bloody or screwdriver for $3 with breakfast. I had the bloody and the found out that there is a Build Your Own station so I was able to pick what went in it and make it myself which was great! The eggs were pretty bland, but everything came out super fast. The bacon was perfect and the cheesy potatoes were the bomb. We will definitely be coming back again at some point and I'm excited for it!

We had a fantastic Saturday lunch here!…read more First of all, the parking: parallel parking must be done on the surrounding streets. We lucked out to find a parking spot very close, and the restaurant wasn't even busy when we were there. I can only imagine parking is quite a challenge at busier times of day. We had a cozy booth. I had a view of the streetside windows and the dining room. Music was at a pleasant low volume in the background--we had no trouble talking and listening to each other. Our server, Lali, took good care of us. We were never left wanting and empty dishes were cleared promptly. Everything came out at an ideal pace, too. My husband had a beer from on tap. I was very happy that they had a couple kinds of cider, so I had one from Minneapolis Cider. We ordered poutine as our appetizer. It was fantastic, and a massive serving! My husband had the brisket philly for his entree; brisket is one of those meat cuts that is tricky to get right, as it easily gets too dry, but the cook absolutely perfected it. I had the smoked trout and greens bowl, which was no only delicious, but was also a feast for the eyes. I have never had trout prepared like this before, only salmon, and this dish was quite special. Just a wonderful place. I can see why it is so highly reviewed.

We came here for a Tuesday during happy hour, and were lucky enough to get a table on the patio…read more Our server, Megan, was super friendly and shared highlights from the menu options and HH drinks. We tried the poutine and a barbecue platter to share. Both were good and I loved the juicy BBQ chicken, but the poutine was notable because there was tons of beef as well as the gravy, cheese curds and all on top of really good fries. Our food came out super fast and hot, and my glass of House Cabernet for eight dollars was a generous poor and a nice wine. There's plenty of street parking in the blocks around this area, and there is a cute bookstore as well as a sustainable goods shop that you should definitely check out across the street. I would love to come back here again!
