Cheeseburger and tator tots under lunch special
Christina K.

This place had a dive bar feel with darker lighting- pull tabs at the front and advertised events such as karaoke and meat raffles. I stopped for lunch during my work day and appreciated that they had lunch specials. I do wish they offered gluten free buns though. They have a large parking lot- the restaurant is dimly lit- nice for that night time going out feel but not at lunch when I was reading. The service was fast. My cheeseburger came out plain- I asked for tomatoes and lettuce which the server brought quickly. Tip: they offer a discount if you pay in cash. Overall this restaurant was just ok- nothing that really stood out that would have me wanting to come back.

First time I have went here and it was not bad, it just didn't blow me away. It's basic breakfast food, they also have sandwiches, and a few dinner options. Nothing that will necessarily bring me back with some of the other options near by. The service was ok albeit a little slow it was not too bad. The bar looked decent and they seem to have some pretty good drink specials if that is your cup of tea. The ambiance is that of a local bar and grill. TVs playing and people talking. Not my favorite place, but certainly not terrible.

Great neighborhood spot with great taps, food and friendly atmosphere. Good service and great food portions.

Coworker friend and I needed to destress and reconnect after work. So we headed to Shore 96 for their happy hour. We squeezed in our food order before 3pm (lunch specials). It was hard to read their beer menu on the wall... don't use the blue chalk! It's not enough of a contrast against the black board. I asked if they had any cider beer (I didn't read any that were familiar to me like Angry Orchard or Stella's) and the young waiter didn't really know... so I ordered a pop instead. CF ordered the apps and was full before they were gone. I ordered the Ceasar wrap and it was made perfectly. The right amount of dressing to not be too dry or too soggy. French fries were hot and crispy.

Crispy Chicken Sandwich

A classic small pub type of vibe. I love the ambiance of everyone having a great time in their own space. Any restaurant with pull tabs gets an extra star from me! The food wasn't anything special to be honest, but I enjoyed it still. The service was nice and timely. I will be adding this to my favorite local spots for a brewski!

Guinness
Glenn M.

Nice place to stop at after snow shoeing. I started with my favorite, a Guinness. I had a spicy Rodeo burger. It was huge and I had tots with it. It was spicy enough and good. I was able to take some home to finish later.

Onion rings
Alysha W.

We were excited to try Shore 96 as it is pretty close to home and has a patio which is nice during this time of year. The waitress was very attentive and super nice and the patio area was great. The not so great thing was the food. We got the french dip which my mom was told was one of the best things on the menu and the grilled cheese and tomato soup lunch special as well as some onion rings. The french dip was fine but my mom wanted the bun toasted more and she just said it was pretty plain. The steak fries that came with it though were really good so if you do go here get some fries. My grilled cheese was made with a white cheese which I wasn't expecting. The menu didn't state what type of cheese it was and I didn't get asked. It wasn't a great grilled cheese or tomato soup. I really don't know how you mess up both. The onion rings were gross ours were way over cooked and very crunchy. The people behind us left almost all of theirs and maybe ate four our five. The inside of this establishment is a bar, I wouldn't come here and choose to sit inside it didn't look very inviting or like a restaurant. Overall, we won't be back here, the food was just not good.

My beer

This is a bar and grill located in a strip mall, wouldn't even know it's here! It had the hole in the wall feeling. I came here around 6 on a Saturday night with my husband and kids. It was pretty busy, but seat yourself. We found a high top in the corner. Our server seemed very flustered and pretty busy. It while to get helped, but once we were it was pretty quick. I ordered the chicken strips and Mac and cheese for the kids, and I had the bacon and Cheese burger. It seemed like a fun place to hang out with friends rather than with the kids. They had a good selection of tap beer. It is close to where we live yet first time here. Again, I'd go here with buddies to hang out and have fun.

We made this our choice for a company dinner & made reservations (Parties of six or more, only). We got our drinks while waiting on the remainder of the party to arrive. Their menu is not super-complicated, but it has many intriguing possibilities. I ordered the chili-cheese dog, one of our party ordered the stroganoff, another ordered the lobster grilled cheese (note- I must try this at home), while the last two both chose a surf & turf combo. Along with my dog, I got the tomato-basil soup and an order of deviled eggs. Let's talk about these eggs for a moment - they are perfectly creamy (no chunkage whatsoever) with a small dollop of caviar on top. OMG!!! I could go to town just on these eggs! The tomato soup had excellent flavor, but the emulsion was slightly broken. It did not affect the flavor, however, only the texture. The hot dog itself was almost as good as a Nolan Ryan brisket Sausage. I believe it is a local brand, and as a self-styled dog connoisseur, I consider it a top five dog. Their bun is a buttered-toasted loaf-style. Think classic lobster roll bread. Nice touch. If they need one improvement, it would be to use a larger portion of the chili. Reports on the other items: -The roasted broccoli was no different than steamed. -Although the Stroganoff looked dry, it was rated as excellent on flavor and distribution of meat & noodle. -The most decadent item of the night was probably the lobster grilled cheese. Chosen by a very picky eater - this got a clear five stars. -Both of our diners who ordered the surf & turf combo platters commented on the steaks being extremely small. Visually, I would guess they were 3-4 ounces. They were cooked well, and both dishes came with lobster-mash (another hit). Yes, it seems this place is a bit of an island of lobstrosities in the upper Midwest. Everything with lobster & caviar was over-the-top excellent. Drink prices are very reasonable. Speed of service was consistent with everything I witnessed in the Twin Cities - not rushed, yet attentive. The servers showed great teamwork, and our main server recognized me the following night as he was walking into a different restaurant while I was leaving. I wish I remembered his name, but suffice it to say, I believe he is easily recognized by his Tam o'Shanter. I mentioned this in another review - there is a completely different pace to service here. I simply do not think the folks here rush through anything. Be prepared & do not go in a hurry.

Lumpia Shanghai - 4 pcs per order - perfectly crunchy & tastes amazing- pork filling Pork bbq skewers - salty sweet Filipino style bbq - so good & tender Pancit bam-i - this one has shiitake mushrooms and so much umami Longganisa - one of the best longganizas we've ever had - they say they imported it from the Philippines, one of the few things they don't make from scratch- 4 pcs per order Lechon Kawali - nice & crunchy and a huge portion Sisig - this was a Saturday special- the flavors are on point but I prefer a crispy sisig Turon - 3 per order - philippine saba babana in a spring roll wrapper with caramelized sugar - so good & crunchy Halo-halo - probably one of the best ever - instead of just crushed ice & milk - they do ice with milk like in bingsu so it's very smooth & creamy plus the homemade ube ice cream & leche flan are outstanding If you've never tried Filipino food, this is where to go

I work with a diverse group of people, with many Ethnic backgrounds. And as much as I love (prefer) burgers and wraps, I have also come to enjoy rice and noodles. My doctor team had to work on Saturday and we get lunch "catered". Typical delivery options: JJs, Davani's, Chipolte, Vietnamese or Thai. But a new option was presented to the team: FILIPINO cuisine! My mind went "oh no, something new. (Insert grimace face). I know what to order at the regular places. Will I even like it?" On Thursday, I looked at the online menu and grabbed "A" (a Filipino coworker) and asked what things were. I'm not a fan of SPICY SPICY food (like Indian) and she assured me I was safe here. I asked about the noodles (glass and flour mixed with vegetables, similar to fried rice). She said they'll be dry but full of flavor. Lumpia are miniature egg rolls (thin, flaky wrapper). BBQ pork skewer (self explitory). I decided on Combo #1! Saturday: Holy smokes! This is my new favorite place. Let's start back with the noodles. Yes they are dry, but the catering box came with sauces (soy, sweet chili and HOT sauce). I added a little bit of soy just to add wetness to be able to swirl the fork, but the flavor is on point. The egg rolls..2 is not enough. Give me at least 6 and all the sweet chili sauce. Very addictive. The bbq pork skewer... If I didn't know any better, I would have thought it was steak. I was delighted to taste smokiness from the grill. I could imaging eating this at a 4th of July picnic. Combo #1 was filling. Half of the office ordered the combo #1 and the other half did the Combo #2 (Chicken Adabo). How good it tasted was all anyone could talk about the rest of the day between seeing patients. I have no doubt we'll be ordering this again in the future. Again, I was shown that trying new things isn't always a bad thing.

We visited and spent…read moresome time walking through the market, checking out all the cool things available before heading over to the café, which is located toward the left side of the market. The ordering process was quick and easy since there wasn't a long wait. I ordered the Connecticut Style Lobster Roll (around $36 before tax), and it was delicious! The portion was generous, the lobster was fresh and flavorful, and I definitely ate it way too fast because it was that good. My husband ordered The Coastal Burger and added bacon. It looked good, and he enjoyed it. We also shared some fries (which are ordered separately) and grabbed sodas from Northern Soda Company. Overall, we had a great experience. If you're looking for a satisfying lobster roll, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'd love to come back again and enjoy the patio space, and get fresh seafood. There was also seating available inside the café.

My wife and I had never been to--or even heard of--Baldamar, so when our friends invited us to…read moreRestaurant Week there, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. From the hostess who graciously held the doors open for us in the 95° heat to our incredible server, David, everything was outstanding. We started with cocktails. I had what may have been the best bourbon Old Fashioned I've ever tasted, and my wife enjoyed a wonderfully refreshing cocktail (whose name I, unfortunately, can't remember). We began our meal with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Normally, I'm not much of a Brussels sprouts fan, but I happily cleaned the plate. My wife and I shared the 12-ounce filet mignon, cooked medium rare, and it was absolute perfection. Chef's kiss. David recommended a bottle of wine to pair with our steak. It wasn't inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. But wait... there's more. As incredible as that wine was with the filet, it somehow paired even better (yes, I know that sounds impossible) with the slice of heaven they call chocolate cake. I'm sure it has a much fancier name on the menu, but "slice of heaven" seems more accurate. If you've read my other reviews, you know I have a tendency toward hyperbole. If there were ever a time to lean into it, this is it. THIS MEAL WAS FANTASTIC. THE AMBIANCE WAS PERFECT. THE FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AND THE COMPANY WAS DIVINE. We will absolutely be back--and when we do, we'll be asking for a table in David's section. (He works Tuesday through Friday.)

I started with the tequila and mezcal Old Fashioned, and it was fantastic. It was well-balanced, beautifully presented, and garnished perfectly. The food was equally impressive. The wings were delicious--crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My only small note would be that the celery was a little limp. The Caesar salad has officially been added to my regular rotation. The jammy egg was cooked perfectly with a rich, yolky center that was still easy to slice. The Parmesan crisps were thoughtfully sized, adding great texture without being so large they scraped the roof of your mouth. The salad was evenly dressed, making every bite flavorful. Overall, excellent food, outstanding cocktails, and warm, attentive service. I'll definitely be back.

We came here for restaurant week and had a very good experience!…read more Our server was great. Very personable and present without being overwhelming. The ambiance was very nice too. The place was very busy and had a good energy about it. I had the Jambalaya, which had chicken, sausage, and shrimp. It was pretty good and had a nice spicy kick. A good portion as well. Girlfriend had the shrimp etouffee with grits. It was nicely blackened and on a big bed of grits. Also spicy. Friend had the original lobster roll. He was surprised it came on Texas toast and not a roll. But he really enjoyed it. The dessert was a sinlme but delicious Cookit with ice cream. I recommend for restaurant week. And if you like seafood in the form of things like the lobster roll or shrimp etouffee that you don't get other places. I thought the jambalaya was fine but unremarkable. Not pictured here was the lobster mac and cheese. Which was only a small appetizer and I thought underwhelming (also, I don't like corn).

Every bite brings something different, and the fresh seafood really shines without being overshadowed by the seasoning. The portion is generous enough to share, but you probably won't want to. The atmosphere is lively, the seafood tastes fresh, and the kitchen clearly pays attention to presentation as much as flavor. If you're looking for one of the Twin Cities' best seafood dishes, this one belongs on your must-order list. Fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor--Smack Shack delivers every time.
