Fried pickles
Natalie W.

Service was amazing. I got the hooligan punch and it was yummy! They do Bingo Friday and it's all the vibes in there. I got the sidewinder fries with the beer cheese and that was amazing! The fried pickles weren't as good and people hyped them up to be. My friend got the Cajun chicken pasta and really liked that. I'd definitely go back. Our server was so friendly and attentive.

Found out about this place at taste of Eden Prairie. Loves the samples that they were giving away so me and some of my colleagues stopped by for happy hour and some grub. What a gem! We all enjoyed our food and lucky me - they have cajun pasta! As the resident expert on the topic - I'd vote yes for some great flavor and a decent hint of spice (not overwhelming). Love the breadstick on the side. If you read my reviews, I always like when the cajun pasta option has peppers and onions. Hooligan's 's both boxes. Trendy interior decor and a nice little patio for when the weather cooperates. I LOVE the location as there aren't a ton of options in the area/on my drive home for decent food/beer and this place does both well. We'll be back!

Philly cheese steak sandwich and Caesar side salad
Shannon G.

They like to close early so we haven't been able to make it here until now but the service was really good and the patio is nice. Philly cheese steak sandwich and Caesar side salad. The salad was huge! Smash burger was good too and fries are amazingggg Also had a Bloody Mary but it tasted like watered down vodka with tomato, but had a nice garnish with a pretzel. Margarita was really good! Happy hour till 5:30 and events every couple days like music bingo.

Unfortunately, this place falls flat. It's usually empty and the energy is just... boring. We are regulars at a few nearby places and were hoping this would be a nice addition to our rotation. Sadly, it seems as though no one knows about this place because they do zero advertising -- even the countless apartments and businesses nearby have no concept this place exists. It seems they thought because their Prior Lake location is popular, that they would command such demand in Eden Prairie with zero advertising or brand presence. Recently stopped in and the bartender mentioned they were not a bartender. A couple regulars at the bar but 95% empty on a Saturday night. There really isn't an identity to this place. It's not that it is "bad" I just wouldn't go out of my way to stop here.

Main entrance

This place opened a few months ago in what had been a longstanding, well known and goto place for a quality meal experience. It had been a higher-end restaurant. TJ Hooligan's opened its second location in this space as an American bar /restaurant experience. They simply threw up some beer/alcohol banners and posters on the walls and reopened the doors. Ambiance is so-so as it has high end fans and lights over an austere set of high/low top tables. The food is decent bar food and they have maintained the wood-fired pizza grill. Unfortunately the management felt like "open the doors and they will come". Generally that has not worked. I've visited twice, and the first time I never went in as it was empty and I figured it hadn't opened yet. They are located in the midst of office spaces and many apartment buildings within 1/2 mile and they simply won't advertise-it is the oddest thing. A few fliers delivered to the buildings and apartments in the area, along with a plan & concept of "who they are" would be huge for this place to help them get established. Friendly staff and bartenders, but the "why we are here" message hasn't yet resonated with me, or sadly the community.

Smothered chicken sandwich
Daisy W.

First time trying this since I had a coupon, the service was good but the food is a little pricey as I was expecting the portions to be bigger. I got a chicken sandwich and my friend got pasta, both were lacking a bit of flavor but they were alright. I liked the fried though they were crispy and soft on the inside.

Thai Chicken Wrap
Kim N.

We came in to check out the new restaurant and was not disappointed. The decor is simple and uncluttered. There are many TVs with sports on. Our food came out on good time and was delicious! The fries came in a cute basket, a great presentation. The only thing we weren't crazy about was that our beers were served in a Mason jar. Our server Leah was accommodating and got my husband an empty water glass to pour his beer into. We will be sure to go back.

Understaffed and the food was just ok. I had the patty melt and had to add salt to give it flavor. Unimpressive, as I had high hopes!

With the pressures of being slammed on Halloween, I was unsure how Detello's would fare for takeout…read moreorders last night. Because their business doesn't do online orders, I figured I would call in the day before to see when they would start taking orders... sure enough, they took my order over the phone (24 hours in advance)! While I couldn't get my exact time because others had already placed orders, 10 minutes off was completely fine! When I arrived for my pizza was ready, only one person in line, and when I got home my pizza was still super hot and made to perfection! It seems like Detello's has figured out a great system for days when they know they are going to be firing at capacity! As a guest, I was glad I didn't have to stand around in a huge line or come home to a cold pizza!

It felt like a family style restaurant that's hidden in a strip mall. Our waitress was great, gave us her recommendations for the menu and made sure we were well taken care of. The pizza was awesome, I'd definitely come back for that crust. Their meat sauce in the ravioli wasn't my favorite, mostly because there wasn't much meat in the sauce, but the flavor was still good! Definitely get the added cheese on your garlic toast, they're not shy with the cheese so it's worth the extra charge. We'll definitely be coming back for the pizza and the small business ambiance!

My husband and I made a reservation for the Thursday "date night " special, which was listed as $60…read morefor two salads, an appetizer or dessert, two pasta dishes, and a bottle of wine. We were seated quickly at 6pm. The food was good! We opted for the beet bruschetta appetizer in lieu of dessert. I thought the sweetness of the honey ricotta played well against the earthiness of the beats. And the ciabatta bread was chewy and flavorful. The wedge Caesar was good, I loved the homemade croutons. A little heavy on the dressing, but you could tell it was homemade and had great flavor from the anchovy- a solid Caesar dressing. My husband got the seafood pasta, and I got the spaghetti and meatballs. He loved his, and I loved the bold flavor of the house made red pasta sauce. The meatballs were big and well seasoned. My only critique, and perhaps this is unfair, but the pasta was clearly not homemade and I wished it was. The only hiccup is that the date night was advertised as coming with a bottle of wine, and we were charged $20 for the bottle we got. It was explained to me that they had said in the beginning that the wine was "a $20 mystery bottle" meaning we couldn't choose it. I interpreted this to me that the free bottle of wine that was advertised as part of the date night was valued at $20. I explained this felt like a little bit of a trick and the charge was removed from our bill without any fuss. That was much appreciated. Because of how that was handled, we will definitely return! Overall, it was a pleasant evening, and I enjoyed myself. Stand out was the bruschetta for sure. Server was friendly and cheerful and didn't rush us.

The pasta alla Rosa was just okay. The bucatini was al dente but the sauce did not have enough cream/umami richness. It was quite on the watery side and didn't coat the noodles well
