This place was fun to try out and a neat concept. A little pricey at $60 an hour for the bays. The food was just OK and all of the food that we ordered mostly appetizers came out at different times which was a little odd. It was nice to have the beer wall where you could fill up your own and try different beers paying by the ounce. The free popcorn was a nice touch while we waited for the food to come. This restaurant is nice and big. It was not very busy when we came as bingo had just ended. Staff was very nice and accommodating. We called ahead of time to make a reservation and since they weren't busy, we were able to add on extra time after. read more

The food was trash worst food I have ever had I would would rather a a dead rat on the side of the road instead of that pizza. The service was ok the server was mid. The hitting machine was terrible 5ft away and impossible to hit the ball for younger player for 1hr it was 150$ NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN read more

Fun place! Good place for rainy cold days. Full food menu and bar. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable with explaining how the bays work. Open concept makes for a little chaos, but was very organized. Side note:make sure to call to reserve a bag if that is what you wanted to do as the website will only reverse a table. read more

This place is awesome! I'll definitely be a repeat customer! Lively atmosphere, sports on tons of TVs, pour your own beer wall, full bar, baseball simulator bays and delicious menu! read more

The Ball Park - Perfect for teams and families - Batting Cages Near Me - Blaine, Minnesota

The server cared more about her friends than anyone else. After my wife's first drink the server never asked my wife if she wanted another drink in a three hour span. She made it easy to never want to go back. My friends all feel the same. It's too bad. read more

We had a great time in the batting cages! The server was attentive to our group but the food was overpriced ($18 for a 2oz kids menu steak?) and delayed (25 mins from first plate out to last plate with 8 people at the table - we ate in waves). Automatic gratuity added *without disclosure* meant we tipped 40% without knowing it until after the fact. Changes needed! read more

Had such a great experience with the baseball simulator and Burger Mondays! Great for large groups or date night. Will be back.

We had such a great experience, a family Birthday celebration, 13 of us. And Service was amazing, Austin was so on top of everything and the food came out in a timely manner. So many good things, the wings, steak dinner and the steak sandwich to name a few. For a little birthday fun we used a bay after dinner. Everyone had a great time. read more

Not what I was expecting! Food was fantastic, beer wall is dangerous, and staff very attentive and friendly

Atmosphere good! Great setting to watch a game on Tv! Had the fig flat bread pizza not worth 18$ and they automatically add 18% gratuity to pour your own beer! read more

Great place to eat and watch sports. Here for the Grand Opening and the owners and employees are all super friendly and welcoming! read more

The batting cages were fun especially if you play baseball. The problem I had our reservation was at 7:15 and came ready for food and they didn't even look at me. I asked 6 times if they could take my order and ignored me. read more

We impromptu went on a very busy Thursday night (bingo 1K coverall) with our kids to swing some bats, have drinks, and grab a few apps - and our expectations were exceeded. The owner personally greeted us, our server checked in continuously to ask if we needed anything, and we had the best time playing virtual baseball with our kids. The setup for the bays is great they have comfy couches for the kids backed up to high tops for the adults and food. We will be back soon to avenge the bays and enjoy more of the wings and beer wall. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Just about 20 minutes north of downtown something awesome has blossomed in the heart of my beloved Blaine. Since this is a "First Review" I must be slightly thorough. The Ball Park is the latest destination to combine sports entertainment and the physically active lifestyle with serious eats. From full traditional batting cages to cutting edge HitTrax suites (imagine golf simulators but with baseballs coming at ya hot!) the friends and family will be entertained for hours. But let's get down to business and my area of study: gastronomically grading grub. First, the ambiance is a perfect match for those looking for a modern elevated activity-associated restaurant. There is a full service bar which serves everything from mojitos to a ya can't have just one Cracker Jack old fashioned. The service is quick, kind, and knowledgeable. My kid never had to wait more than 60 seconds to be asked for a refill (and I paid for it based on her bedtime last night ). For apps: the San Francisco Garlic Fries were my kid's choice and she stated "dad, these are better than the ones at the state fair because they have a taste of cheese too." She's referring to the parm shake on top but the fries were crisp and hot and the garlic was unmistakeable, maybe a bit milder than the fair's but it was top notch according to my miniature foodie. Then we went for the umami glazed Rochester Red Wings. The wings were steaming hot, very moist, and the skin had just enough crisp on them and not overdone. The umami glaze is on the sweet side but the pure size of these wings balances well. For reference, I ate 3 wings but it felt like 5 or 6, so either they're gonna have to raise the prices on us or decrease the number of wings because I felt like I was getting way too good of a deal, get it while ya can! The star app for me was the Chicken and Waffle Bites. The waffle cone (more of a bowl) was crunchy and with just the right hint of sweetness. The chicken was crisp and savory which complimented the waffle cone. Very reminiscent of one of my fav's from The Blue Barn at the great MN get together. Now that's where the similarities end because the blue cheese chantilly was so airy and light with just a hint of funk that I was worried this cloud of goodness would lift off my table and return to the heavens. I caught myself eating this almost air whipped-like blue cheese with just my fork at least twice! For entrees my kid had the kids cheeseburger with bacon and regular fries. She stated that the meat patty tasted good and felt good to the chew and there was a lot of tasty crispy bacon, but she preferred the garlic fries over the regular ones. Now for the entree which I shall judge thee...I've had dozens and dozens of what some call "Korean chicken sandwiches" but there's always things that are required by my palette to make it satisfying. First, the sweet and spicy usually from a concoction of gochujang (shoutout to my brother Matt who was in Korea last week for resupplying me with the goodies!). Then the kimchi. Let's start with the chicken: perfectly crisp and tender. The umami glaze gave the sweetness required and the "fresh kimchi" had a very light pickling which made it approachable for even my 6 year old date. There wasn't the fermented funk and tangy sourness kimchi aficionados strive for but the slight acidity and crispy veggies helped tone down the rich sweetness of the umami glazed chicken. The bun was solid and toasted just enough to hold up to the juiciness between and the house chips had a nice salty seasoning similar to a blend of Old Bay and Tony Chachere's (where my Cajuns at?!) At this point I thought it was a decent Korean chicken sandwich but it was slacking on what an Asian foodie that usually enjoys dancing on the 4 outta 5 Thai heat scale. Where's the heat??? I spoke too soon...out came what they call "Spicy Ghost Pepper Sambal." Dunked my sando and...Ohhh lawdy lawd! Ticking off a few notches on the Scoville scale, I proceeded to profusely sweat for the next 16 minutes as the deliciousness of the spicy, sweet and almost delectable fruitiness of the sambal came to play ball! Korean chicken sandwich achieved and that sambal is 100% Asian grandma approved. Overall, this new joint is great as a friend and family outing with active sporting and fun. With all the flat screens and full bar it's a solid choice for a night out. The restaurant serves a ton of flavor, variety and freshness. I can't wait to return to try more of the menu and look forward to the kitchen continuing to hit out of...The Ball Park! read more

We were there last week. Loved it! The food was good and the atmosphere is very different than you would think. Very bright and open. Batting cages in the back. Good place to gather with friends. Several leather couches and comfortable chairs. We are seniors but will go back. Service was good too even though they were all new employees! read more

Some of the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. Once seated, took over 20 minutes to get a water....and that only happened because we asked the bartender if there were any waiter/waitresses. Every step of the way, we had to ask the service people: if we could order food, if we could get a beer card, if we could get silverware (once the food finally arrived), and lastly if we could pay the bill. Multiple tables around us had dirty dishes and empty bottles on the table the entire time we were there. At least 3 other parties walked out before ordering. read more

I wanted to share my frustration we had this past Saturday. My husband tried to reserve a bay the week before and called multiple times without an answer. Finally able to connect with someone via chat to set up a reservation for my birthday. The person on the chat took forever to reply, and when they did, they asked us the times we wanted and for how many people, so my husband told the person that what times we wanted and for 10 people. The person never replied. My husband then tried to call the number on the website multiple times, again, with no answer. We show up for my birthday just to find no reservation reserved, BUT the hostess still seated us by a simulator bay. The waiter brought us menus and asked for our order. We wanted to make sure we had the bay for two hours, so the waiter went to the front and, indeed, confirmed we had no reservation and all the bays were reserved for the rest of the night. He said sorry and offered us a complimentary round of drinks, which we politely declined. I was frustrated and upset. The one thing I wanted to do for my birthday, I never got to do. The set up is unorganized. No one answering the phones, and no one messaging us back to confirm the reservation. Unsure if we'll try going back again. read more

Great brunch and very good service. This is a great venue to watch a game. will plan for game time soon

They were immediately very welcoming and kind even to my kids. They have slight music in the background with tvs everywhere you can cach up on whatever sports you are into. They also have welcoming lights in different colors as well! They have free popcorn. The perfection is top notch. My entire family enjoyed ther food and had a great time. read more

We wanted to try a new place and we were happy we did. I had the Korean BBQ sandwich and my husband had the Park Burger. Both were excellent. Also the wait staff were friendly and provided great service. We will be returning. read more

I am a 74 year old disabled veteran. My wife and I decided to give this place a try. We were shown to a table and when I asked where the menu was the hostess pointed to this code thing on the table and said we can order with our cell phone. HA HA HA. I don't own a cell phone so we went to Wild Bill's for supper. Evidently The Ball Park doesn't want people like us to dine there. Think about some paper menus. read more

Awesome first visit here. The hitting bays were so fun. Trent was super helpful and informative on all the games. Service and food were fabulous. Highly recommend the wings. The owner, Rory, checked in on us multiple times, great customer service. We'll definitely be back! read more
