Slightly greasy but not too much and the taste is there. I especially like their burgers. SERVICE: friendly and accommodating. I will note that my friend had tried to contact them about a mistake with a to-go order but other than that their service has been great. But beware with to go orders but YMMV. AMBIANCE: diner/sports bar. Can be loud but not too loud. Note if a game is on there may be cheering. Casual and comfortable. PRICE: well priced... if I remember correctly about $15 for a burger.

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.

    I've only ever ordered takeout from bb.q Chicken in St. Paul, so I can't comment on the…read morerestaurant's service or ambiance; however, the food itself is decent. The first time I tried it, my husband picked up our order. He waited quite a while for it to be ready, but it was clearly understaffed, and we aren't the type of people to complain. Despite the fact that we didn't raise any concerns, we later received a call from the manager acknowledging that service had been slow and that she had noticed him waiting for an extended period of time. She offered us a $5 credit for our next visit. That kind of unprompted gesture reflects good customer service, and we genuinely appreciated the effort. We ordered a few different wing flavors and I also tried the Rose Ddeok-Bokki (none of which I took photos of). My husband and I agreed that the chicken itself was just okay, though he did note that he liked something about the batter used for the breading. Given the price, we had higher expectations--it's fairly expensive for a relatively small amount of chicken. The Rose Ddeok-Bokki, however, was very rich and flavorful. It was my first time trying tteokbokki, and I wasn't prepared for how fishy the flavor was. I thought it was really good at first, but it became a bit overwhelming the more I ate. More recently, I decided to try their standard Ddeok-Bokki, which is less creamy and has more of a spicy kick. I ordered it without the added cheese this time, which was the right choice. My palate was more prepared for the fishy flavor, and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. That said, it is fairly spicy, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't enjoy heat. There is another version of this dish on the menu that is apparently much spicier, placing this one in the middle of their spice scale. I did find it became overwhelming toward the end, but that was more due to the spice level than the flavor itself. Overall, I'd give it a 3/5. It's something I'd order again when I'm craving it, but when it comes to chicken, I have other go-to spots in mind.

This is located in a neighborhood with a small parking lot or free parking in the neighborhood. There is a small patio and a few tables and chairs on the inside. I would plan on taking your food to go. The vibes are classic and there are a bunch of fun pictures from Minnesota history! My boys enjoyed looking at those! The service here was extremely friendly and laid back. Kind of like having family cook your meal! That's a hard vibe to find these days! The food: We got the rib and chicken dinner. The chicken was fried golden(this is pressure cooked in oil) made for a nice flavor. I wouldn't say it knocked my socks off but definitely solid pieces of chicken. I am here to rave about the ribs!! Oh my gosh!!! The bones just fell out! The meat was so tender and the BBQ had the perfect about of sweetness!! I will for sure be back for the ribs!!! The mashed potatoes were ok. Next time I would get the fries. We also had the chicken wings plain. Again, nothing over the top special. Did I mention how good those ribs were!? Haha we ended with some mini donuts which were your standard mini donut but were delicious! This place is definitely worth a try!!

I normally hesitate…read moreto order ribs as a restaurant since they normally are a bit dryer than how I would like them to be. The Coop's ribs are tender, saucy and go so well with their fries! Would definitely come back to try more items! Wait time is a bit long about 20-30 mins because they start making food after you order, very fresh! Store is a bit small inside but there are outside seatings as well!
