Pretty nice spot! They have good burgers, good beer, the cheese curds are satisfactory, and the kids menu doesn't fail to please. The service is generally speedy. Overall, a worthwhile stop! read more

The Roadside - Vanilla Icecream - Burgers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

We've been driving by this place for a while...finally stopped in for a lunch date. The smash burgers were darn near perfect, the beers thin and crisp. Bonus: The server provided us with a tap list - which is almost unheard of in this part of town. Inside was clean, simple. We'll certainly be back to try a BBQ night. read more

I can't say enough good things about The Roadside! The staff here are all amazing, helpful, and attentive, it's a fun, relaxed vibe without feeling too dive bar-y, and I've loved all of the food I've tried. They do shrimp really well here--whatever 3 chili rub they use on them seasons them to perfection, and the amount of them you get on the meal is always great. I've tried them on the tacos, salad, and bowl; while all three are delicious, the bowl really blew me away! Along with the shrimp, you get a coconut rice (which is the most flavorful I've had anywhere outside of an actual dedicated Asian restaurant), chili lime slaw, and habanero pickles--each component is individually flavored SO well and it all melds together perfectly. This place is almost a 40-minute drive for me and I would 100% make it again for that shrimp bowl. read more

Ordered hell fire wings to go and they were excellent. Good amount of spice, a pleasant amount of smoke, and a nice chunky blue cheese dipping sauce. The only thing I could complain about is the wings weren't crispy, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, because they had the order ready faster than I was expecting and they sat for 5 - 6 minutes before I picked them up. read more

The day we went they got a new menu. The burger and the nachos were both delicious. It is a quieter place and it wasn't too busy on a Thursday night. The service was fast and I would go back. read more

My boyfriend and I went to dine in on a Wednesday evening and it was nice out so we sat on the patio. The patio was very crowded and we have never been here before so I did not realize there were games and such outside. I was surprised at how loud and rowdy it was for a weeknight but there's nothing wrong with that, just a little noisy so I would suggest sitting inside if you want more quiet. The waitress we had was lovely, she suggested menu items and was prompt with bringing all our food and drinks out. She remembered everything and she had a very nice personality. I have no complaints about the service at all! My only issue for giving this restaurant 4 stars was really the food and the menu. I understand prices have gone up for everyone but this was almost ridiculous, the burgers were almost $20 and I expected them to big burgers with lots of toppings but they were pretty skimpy with the fixings. Definitely not an $18 burger, especially since the side of fries was flavorless. I do like the shoestring fries but there was nothing special about them. The food was overall decent just definitely overpriced, I know other places that have much better burgers for a way better price. I was also considering getting the tacos but this is the only place I have ever been to that an entree of tacos comes with 2 tacos instead of 3 and no side of chips or anything. So you pay $14 for 2 little tacos? Crazy! read more

Getting a one star because it's the lowest you can go. Used to love this place, but the price has been getting higher and higher. Decided to go tonight and they have a new menu. The prices are the same, but they come with fries. Oh, but at the very bottom of the menu it tells you they charge a 3% service fee because they provide medical for their employees. Good for them, but the prices are a lie. Now to the food. Husband and I both ordered hamburgers. I love their burgers. Or, I did before tonight. The hamburger patties are half the thickness as the used to be. The buns were okay, but my cheese was hardly melted, which is amazing because my patty was so over cooked it was crunchy! The fries are different now too. They are the super thin crunchy fries, no longer the good fries they had before. My son had the BBQ Nachos and those were very good, he is picky and truly liked them. Only positive, when we complained to the waitress, she took good care of us, then ended up removing both our burgers off the bill since we didn't have time for them to re-make our burgers. read more

I was so excited when I saw the weekend specials posted on FB. I am a big fan of Cuban sandwiches. So Sis and I decided to have Roadside for dinner. I couldn't find the Weekend Specials on the TO GO online order form so we decided to dine in. Seated quickly in a corner booth. I faced the wall and my view was VERY limited, constrained. To view a game on the TV, one would need to crank their neck up or back around. Would be nice to have a giant mirror on the West wall near the bar so I could see what was happening around me. Food order taken and served timely. Getting the check took a while. I was ready to hand my CC over before the waiter came back to check on us. He asked us how things were going right after we were served but never saw him again until I had the CC waiving in the air. I'm sorry to report that I was unsatisfied with this Cuban. Everything about it was dry and unflavorful. Well, except for the pickles. But I didn't get Cilantro Habanero from them. I thought they were dill until I reread the ingredient description. The pork was dry/ overcooked / chewy. The ham was a slab circle vs finely sliced. Minimal mustard on bun. Swiss cheese wasn't stringy, gooey. The bread was not warmed up or toasted, just served at room temp/cold. Overall, I'd say this was the worst Cuban I've ever had, and Jimmy John's had a Cubano on their menu! To finish off this review, I loved that the onion rings were battered and not breaded. And the fries were nicely seasoned. I'll stick my my own burger concoction (Fiesta burger in photos) from now on. read more

I use to work here in summer of 2017 i really liked working here, free food and discounted bar drinks cant go wrong there.

The menu is unique but still has the go tos for those just wanting bar food. We love their smokehouse on the weekends too! By far the best part is the extended patio in the summer. Lots of space, cute set up for those there to just hang out and a separate area added for smokehouse evenings! It's a reliable favorite of ours. read more

Tried The Roadside in Blaine via DoorDash. Solid burger even after 20 minute delivery. Everything was packed very well to ensure quality during the trip. Good battered onion rings too. Only complaint is the overpriced Cheese Curds. $11.99 for a small portion of standard frozen breaded curds. read more

Great service. Really chill place The staff is extremely nice and very accommodating Great prices on drinks during half hour A absolutely fantastic patio It's just That the food is just not good at all. read more

Definitely a bit overpriced. Food was alright but definitely not worth the price. There was also a 3% surcharge for "Staff Commitment". I have no issue paying more money if employees are taken care of, but I saw nothing in store or online that indicated they are doing anything extra for their employees to make use of that extra money. I would like to note, the wait staff was great. They were prompt and friendly, even with the busy dinner time. read more

While I thought the food I had and the happy hour was good I was a little disappointed in the divide between customers. 1. My bartender was amazing 2. Staff very accommodating 3. Finding out that a program I asked to watch on one tv out of the several in the bar was overridden by one customer. I asked for low volume disturbing no one and shortly after the sound was shut down and I'm told by a customer. Is there a priority here? or a secret society? read more

This was my second time eating here! The first time I got the taco salad, hard to screw up a salad. It was fresh and crisp and well seasoned. Nothing to write home about, but again, it was a salad. This time I got chicken tenders and fries. When I say overpriced that's an understatement. $15 bucks for unsalted/unseasoned tenders with no fries is a big disappointment. My husband got a $12 chicken sandwich, again nothing comes with fries. Ordered jumbo tots for him and those were as expensive as the sandwich? $11.99? It wasn't a heaping order either. Overall, I'm more than disappointed with portions versus price and flavor. read more

Don't know why, but they decided to make some changes to the menu, and it wasn't for the better. For starters, they added fries when you order a burger or sandwich, which, in most cases, you would applaud because hey, who doesn't like French fries. Accept the fries reminded me of what fast food joints served 30 years ago, not very good at all. You would also think that if they charged $16.99 for a sandwich, they could serve it on something other than the most generic white bread bun in existence. My only hope is the Smokehouse section of the restaurant can maintain its past quality because the new menu is a disaster. Let's hope they figure that out and make some changes because whoever came up with the menu revamp swung and missed. read more

Gave this place a try, and like so many other reviewers, found it to be offensively overpriced. I got the Blackened Walleye tacos (2 to the order) daily special for $11.99. They were tasty, but for that price, a small side of beans with melted cheese, or salsa or guacamole with some chips would have rounded things out. Ambiance was decent and the waitress was cheerful and friendly. Can't see myself going back for the lack of value. read more

The food was definitely better than your average bar food, it was pretty tasty. Our server was also great and accommodating with our orders. We got tacos, burgers and fries , all pretty good. The bar itself has nothing really outstanding about it , just another neighborhood bar. It also was slow, granted we went on a Tuesday right before they were closing during covid times - when we went there was only one couple at the bar and my friend and I. I also had an ipa on tap (don't remember the name but it was good). I'd recommend stopping by , especially for taco Tuesday read more

Super disappointed coming here for the first time with my family. They are charging $11-14 for 2 tacos, no sides. They have $14-16 burgers that don't come with fries or sides. I tried to order 1 of the 3 cocktails on the menu and they didn't have it. I'm not one to write bad reviews but it was worth the time to be honest with anyone looking to come here. They do have a good beer menu if you're looking to go to the bar and watch the game. read more

Disappointing. It looks like a decent place, nice feel to it on the inside.... but the food. My wife ordered the gumbo special. It was not gumbo. Nothing resembling gumbo. The shrimp were over cooked, barely any flecks of meat served with white rice, and no tomatos, or anything else that makes gumbo.. you know.. gumbo. The smokehouse looks promising might have to order up sometime, but the indoor dining was a total bust. Will not return read more

Garbage. Service was slow, messed up our order, sat for almost 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged (there was only 2 other tables in the restaurant - so it wasn't busy.) Prices? Asinine for what it is. The burger didn't even come with French fries, you had to order it separately. Food quality was "eh." Nothing impressive. Not worth the $70 we paid for two burgers, French fries and a kids nacho. Only plus was the nice lady at the pulltab booth. She was friendly and nice. read more

Not very tasty. Weird blends of food. Nice outdoor patio. We had a very nice waitress.

We tried this place again recently and still unimpressed. Food is very high priced for what you get. Small portions and everything was spicy even though not noted on menu. Server seemed uneducated on the menu too and the manager left a lot to be desired with her attitude. Not one person in our party was satisfied...in a party of 6. Not going back. Don't understand the hype. read more

Food is tasteless and undercooked not to mention extremely overpriced for awful food. I'd go anywhere else don't waste your time money or appetite. All the thumbs down read more

Wife and I stopped on Friday ordered there $14 barbecue Nachos very sad for the price I expected nice plate of nachos this little amount came in the paper dish you get 2 hotdogs in at hoilday gas what a joke. Wife ordered this rice bowl salad same thing this little amount came out in tiny throw away bowl maybe 5 inches waste of $13 so place gives little portions and ate with plastic silverware what a joke felt like we just ordered from gas station read more

If you want to pay a lot for small portions, come here. And if you want to be served in paper (like you would get at the fair), then come here. I should have taken pictures. You get no sides w/ your $13 burger. My wife ordered it without a bun and they basically threw a patty in a paper food container. And I got a whole 2 tacos for ten bucks. Cheese curds were like a handful also thrown in one of those paper baskets. And all that was $42. On top of that, the charge a 2% staff fee on your bill. I believe the food is good, but just not worth it compared to other places that give you more for your money. We won't be back. The owner must be cheap. read more

The atmosphere is really welcoming. We had the tacos and were very impressed on the quality. I really like that they have great happy hour specials. I was a little disappointed that they had a limited gluten free beer and cider selection. This is definitely something that they need to expand on. read more

Any place that charges a 2% staff fee doesn't deserve a repeat visit. We asked the waitress what that 2% goes to and her words were" I know we don't see any of it" we just took it off the poor girls tip. their prices are high enough without piling on! read more

17$ for wings that taste like rubber and one piece of celery. Talk about a rip off, if your gonna charge that much at least offer the quality that will match the price. Also they expect you to tip for a CARRY OUT order. Disappointed but hope they can make positive changes. read more

First time we tried this place out. The restaurant was out of buns for burgers and mahi, mahi for fish tacos. We did not find out about the buns until the food arrived. One of the orders was a chicken sandwich and it was fried so much it was chewy. Not a good first dining experience. read more

I think we came here with the wrong expectations; this place is more of a bar than an actual restaurant. More importantly, a bar in Anoka County. We sat and listened to drunk men in their 60's tell rape jokes and threaten to fight each other, and one member of their party had the loudest voice I'd ever heard, to the point where I couldn't hear my friend across the table. Service was lousy and it took nearly 15 minutes for someone to take our drink orders. Burgers were tasty, however, but I wish fries weren't an extra few bucks. Might try them again in the summer for their patio, but overall it's just a standard small-town bar oddly placed in the middle of suburbia. read more

Food is good however burgers or sandwiches don't come with fries or sides. Very over priced for the amount of food you get. The outside patio is nice, I would love to come back but after spending 70 dollars for dinner and the kids meals come with twice as much food as the adult meals it's going to be hard read more

We've been here several times and usually it's mediocre. But tonight was the worst. Mexican Corn was cold, the burnt ends were not ends and mostly fat. They shod be honest on the menu and call it burnt fat pieces. Service was just ok. Will we go back? Nope. read more

Very nice place. fair prices good food, drink and nice staff

Boom! When in Blaine eat at The Roadside! Small little place but the food was great! We got a couple of burgers and the Mexican street corn. We had pretty fast service but I could see how the waitress could get bogged down as she was the only one out there and was also running the bar. She did great! read more

Just had lunch here... It was $3.99 Burger Monday.... All toppings besides lettuce, tomato and onion are $1 each. I added a slice of pepperjack to mine. It was a tasty burger! My buddy said his was good...although he asked for it medium and there was no pink. We both had a craft beer, they had a great selection. We also shared an order of onion rings....I had one, he had a few and we left more on the table than we ate. These are not your ordinary frozen onion rings!! These were huge, doughy, freshly dipped onion rings. I didn't look over the rest of the menu but....I look forward to another meal here another day of the week to try out another special. Thanks Bluzy's! read more

Love the craft beer selection, however their food portions are kinda small. Had the happy hour nachos when they first opened and they were rather tiny! If you are more interested in craft beer than food, this is the place to go to! The bartenders know their stuff and make it easy to find something you will like! read more
