    Chicken tenders with fried rice and Yum Yum sauce
    Lana J.

    I love the food here! It's close to my house and I wasn't sure if I would like it but I do I ordered it from DoorDash and then I went in the other day to pick it up myself and it's super cute inside and they have cocktails and happy hour so I definitely will be back. The girl behind the counter was very friendly.

    Hey Travoodies Hey ... I tried it! I have been hearing about this place for some time, and recently I ventured to check them out. I honestly can say that the fried rice was yum. Like covered with some yum sauce (that's homemade), and cooked perfectly. Nothing against this spot because I absolutely loved the vibe and the bartender was super friendly and made a delightful drink. The red aura of the space ; red being my favorite color easily attracted me to the space and the excitement from the staff made me interested in sharing from the menu. For Me... I think I'm just not a panko crusted type of girlie. However I would go back and order the fried rice. The drink was a hit with me I forgot the name but it was on their Christmas list. I can definitely see going back for drinks and the catch the games.

    When we visited for the first time Tricks made a good first impression, we visited Sunday night so it wasn't busy. The chicken potstickers were good, and so were the onion rings. I really enjoyed the Lyndale mule. However I did not like the birria tacos, maybe I'll try the rush hour next time. The seating was a bit uncomfortable for me personally and the TV was loud and it was hard to have a conversation. Parking lot available behind the building, there is also free street and paid parking as well.

    Rush Hour 4. Great!

    One visit review Back and forth tween three and four Price gouging, so three Been anxiously waiting for this place to open. Took over the space of my favorite local beer bar. The beer selection pales in comparison, obvi. Four basic beers on tap pales in comparison to their predecessor. The food was really good. Got the Rush Hour 4 which is described on the menu as Tendies, TLC yum sauce, Tokyo fried rice. Tendies were great! Nice, light, crisp breading. Felt like I got up charged though. Before I ordered, saw what a guy next to me got as that is what I wanted. Asked if it was the chicken fried rice. She said no, it was the Rush Hour 4. Looked at the menu. $17. Done deal, give me what he's having. Bill came. Add on charge of $6 for chicken fried rice. Maybe a failure to communicate on both of our parts, but an extra $6 for chicken in your fried rice?! It is only two dollars extra for chicken in your Tokyo fried rice on the menu. I should have protested more than I did before I rolled over on the deal. Shady, shady as all hell. My return is possible, but somewhat iffy.

    This place is way better than you think. Black owned business in uptown. The food, service, and drinks are all high quality and very good! Go check them out soon

    We finally had time to check this new restaurant out in south Minneapolis. We came during the weekdays knowing that street parking would be hard to find. Luckily we found a spot down the street. Mix fusion between asian and American. My friend has been craving onion rings and had to order it. I ordered the salt and pepper wings, the jalapeños were there as dressing, however it wasn't spicy. There was 1 server that worked the bar and tables. I was impressed how attentive she was to every table until someone in the back came out to help her. Big dining area with mostly high tops. I had wished the chairs had a backrest to lean on, but the lower tables had some. My friend likes the fusion, I'm more on the authentic side.

    They did their thing with this one. The wings were awesome, the chicken sandwich was too! And the f'n Beef Bulgogi Bowl, SMACKS!!! Game day specials on beer $20 for a 5 beer bucket. And $4 shots! You're missing out if you don't check it out !! Bartender was super attentive and they were playing the game WITH the sound. There's not a better spot in uptown for a casual night out.

    Rush hour and spicy chicken Sammy

    Everything tasted under seasoned, but most of chicken was cooked well. I did enjoy the breading. Sauces were underwhelming. Nice open space. Slow service even though it was empty.

    Rush Hour

    So yummy! Chicken is fried so good and you have to try some of their other sauces with the chicken! Service could be a bit better, but overall good spot to go with friends!

    Would you be kind enough to share with me the location of the food truck? I see the area on the map but what would I plug into my GPS to get a bite of this famed chicken? Thanks!

    Hi Scot, our food truck is closed for the winter. We are opening a restaurant at 2700 Lyndale Ave s. Probably in early April of this year. Thanks

When we walked in, the hostesses greeted us right away and asked if we preferred the bar or dining side and we chose the dining area. Not long after, our server Jordyn stopped by to take care of us. We ordered everything at once, starting with the Szechuan green beans and pizza fries, along with three different kinds of wings: garlic parmesan, lemon pepper, and smoky ranch. It took a little while for the food to come out, but once it did, it was well worth the wait. The wings were loaded with flavor, and I really liked that they served whole wings instead of just flats or drummies. The booths were comfortable and roomy, and the big screen TVs made it easy to keep up with the college football games. Between the great service, flavorful food, and relaxed atmosphere, we were more than happy with our visit. Parking was also easy, and since the place is tucked away a bit, it feels like a hidden gem. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Ever since 2020, the climate surrounding the George Floyd Square has changed dramatically, and this establishment has become an even stronger integral part of the community as the square itself had represented how the community thrives with its people. A lot of respect for the establishment from that perspective. In terms of food, I would say the soul food, which contained mostly sides, were the main highlight for me. The mac & cheese was salty enough. The fries were solid in a "you can't really go wrong with it" type of way. The candied yams had enough sweetness. The collard greens could taste better but standards must be lower when they're not homemade. I also enjoyed the catfish fillets as they were fried to preserve enough hotness and softness. A lot of what they served, they made on the spot, which was what may be causing longer wait for some. Meat-wise, a lot of items could use further improvement because they were too dry, such as the smoked wings and the beef brisket. The wings were dry to the point that they condensed and got extremely salty. The brisket relied a lot on the sauce and the existing fat on the meat for juiciness while the meat itself didn't have a lot of flavor or juice. As for the ribs, they had some seasoning, and tasted just fine, and weren't as dry. But I have had ribs in Texan barbeque places before and knew what "seasoned" ribs were like and therefore concluded that the ribs here were not spectacular. With all that said, however, I still will return here as often as I can because I love supporting this business. The person serving me was very hospitable and patient. I still got some pretty solid barbeque even if it's not Texas. Besides, outside just the barbeque food, the soul food was solid, like I had mentioned above.

Seriously, I've probably had everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. They have an extensive collection of beers that will please anybody, with some of the best Hazys and best Sours in town, and also cocktails that work for folks that don't want a beer. The patio is superb, and although you sometimes share it with a passing train, it's tucked away and is a nice separation from the business of the surrounding north loop. I'd argue the wings are easily top 3 in the whole state, they're always crispy, and the monthly specials are clearly thought over and iterated on by talented chefs that want to try new and unique things. The pizza is also probably the best Detroit style in the city, try the Elote and you'll see what I mean. Staff is a hoot, they're all super nice, great to talk to, and have honest opinions about their own menu. Seriously, if you're anywhere near the downtown area, go here.
