Super friendly service for what are a mix of mostly locals and the tourists visiting the MOA. Seems like this is the Cheers of those working in the area. Come in and see friendly faces where the bartenders remember your name. Overall this is a place I would hang out. And I have. Meatloaf is delicious and not a typical sliced but your own, personal, meat log. Fantastic. Surprised/not surprised there were no green veggies. I will absolutely order again. Walleye fish and fries are their most popular menu item as reported by all staff and many reviews but it's too salty for me. And that's with plain fries, not Salt & Vinegar. I love that style of kettle chip but the fries are too much for me. Prefer the unseasoned version. It's a good portion and I was full haven eaten half. Try it! Split it! I left feeling more full than with over the meatloaf and I did not finish it. Baked vs. Fried food and all. One visit my side salad was forgotten. The server apologized and of course removed it from the bill. Another night found their delicious rolls rock hard. Sad but did I really need them. No but I wanted their warm and deliciousness. Full bar and a small wine, but well priced and featured wine list. From my observations eating at the bar, Twin City is a cocktail joint although I enjoyed the reasonably priced wine by the bottle offering. Would I go back? I'm here now. read more

Located in the Mall of America (1st level). Nice place. Service is excellent (very attentive). Food menu looks great. My partners didn't eat much. Just the Minnesota Chicken and Wild Rice Chowder (where's the rice?). I had a Special - Fried Chicken Salad. It was pretty good. Lots of room in this place. Even a special back room for extra-large parties. Lots of choices to eat in the mall. This should be a visit. read more

Excellent choice that's away from the bustle of the food court scenes on Level 2 & 3. Comfort foods are available in addition to your typical burger fare. It's good a good blend of bar/pub along with having a medium sized dining room. Food was good and came out quick. Would've liked to have a larger portion of cranberry sauce with my meal, but it does come served not as a jelly but as actual cranberries - which was nice. Rolls/bread and butter are provided before your meal, so don't fill up too soon, as you'll need to save room for their Summit Extra Pale Ale which is on tap. Slainte. read more

Our first stop for food in Minnesota, and it was the perfect introduction to Minnesota fare! We were looking for a place that served local favorites, and this spot at the Mall of America did not disappoint. We tried several Minnesota specialties, and everything was delicious. The ambiance was one of our favorite parts, it's filled with historical photos, memorabilia, and interesting facts about Minnesota, making it a fun experience for visitors. Our server was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Whether you're spending the day at the Mall of America or just looking for a great family-friendly restaurant, this is definitely a place I'd recommend if you want to try some Minnesota dishes. read more

Very good. Liked the walleye tasty mashed potatoes cheese butter for bread- didn't like the wild rice soup much a bit heavy on red pepper- nice service good atmosphere! read more

Very poor service. Had the French onion was less than average. Diner vibe with not great service.

Very lovely lunch. I had the smoked bbq chicken sandwich, with no bun. It was tasty and the fries were excellent. It didn't need the cheese (I pulled it off) as the flavor kinda messed with the otherwise great meal. The service was excellent. The waiter swiftly removed a bread basket someone else had placed after I ordered a bunless sandwich. They could maybe use a few low carb options on their menu, but I had trouble deciding what to order, so they must be doing a few things right! The flatbreads have been a hit forever! read more

I went in here for dinner with a friend to try a few things. The atmosphere seemed really professional, but it felt light hearted at the same time, was nice. I ordered the spaghetti bake (which I didn't even know existed?!) Along with BBQ chicken flatbread. They have some other unique items on the menu I wanted to try, but didn't. Everything tasted nice and the flatbread had nice seasoning. Prices were okay. The spaghetti bake wasn't my cup of tea and just too cheesy, maybe someone out there will like it. It was like eating a big block of macaroni cheese along with cottage cheese, kind of? The food was decent and the people were incredibly nice, but I personally wouldn't go here again. It's not a "to die for" restaurant, but was fun to try. read more

my boyfriend and I went here for lunch after a day of shopping at the mall, we made a reservation but arrived earlier than the reservation time but we were able to get seated right away! we both enjoyed the bread with the cheddar butter. he ordered the loaded mac and cheese without tomatoes and i ordered the cheddar cheeseburger. the burger came with a side of salt and vinegar fries and coleslaw which were AMAZING!! my boyfriend loved the fries and I loved the coleslaw! the loaded mac and cheese was also so amazing! definitely recommend coming here after a long shopping day or just in general! read more

This is a funny little hole in the wall in the mall of America that I went to but had never even noticed before. It is not around any of the food courts or some of the other groupings of restaurants but I believe is on the first floor. Overall I enjoyed my time here and definitely gave a chance to sit back for a bit and unwind. You don't even really feel Ike you're in the mall anymore. read more

We stopped in here for dinner during an our trip to the MOA. It was highly recommended here on Yelp. The service was fast and great. I wish I could remember our waitress' name because she was so kind and helpful. My guy got the steak and he loved it. I got a chicken meal and it was decent. Because the place is so popular, it was very crowded in there in the back so that was a bit off putting. But as stated before the food was decent so I can understand. read more

This meal was a lot better than i expected! The tenderloin tips were cooked exactly to my liking and the sauce that came with it was delicious. I also enjoyed my espresso martini a lot! The only downside was the complimentary bread wasn't very good, it tasted frozen and stale. The waiters were very friendly but when i asked a question about a certain dish they couldn't give me an answer. read more

Haven't been here in many years and once again, it did not disappoint. This place is in the old school category and the vibe is super chill. I was here solo celebrating a new job and ordered the twin medallions. They came encrusted with a tasty blue cheese topping and I had the fresh broccoli for the side. I was a little disappointed in the amount of broccoli but the filets were beautiful and were cooked perfectly. Dinners come with fresh rolls and those were delicious. I enjoyed a classic margarita with the meal-so delish! The wait staff and manager were super pleasant and friendly. Def recommend! read more

fried walleye tasty but i'd prefer less breading and/or more crunch. their tartar has no sweet pickle... wife preferred it, i like the sweetness. nut crusted walleye very good... moist and fresh. mashed potato and vinegar fries both solid... i preferred the mash. bbq chicken flatbread was our favorite since it has bolder flavor... free if you use the Mall of America coupon book. service very good... should be since there was only one other dinner. wait staff formal and booths nice, but clashes a bit with the festive kid-centered mall... it's great that the waiter was very friendly and accommodating of our shorts. read more

What more can you ask for than consistent food. I have been here each time travel has brought me to Minneapolis and the food is always good. Don't sleep on the almond crusted Walleye, $32.95 for a platter size filet, it can easily be shared with two. Plus I think it's an unwritten rule somewhere that you must have Walleye when you travel to Minnesota. Service can be a little slow but you're at MOA take the time to people watch and you'll hardly notice. read more

Based on the crowds, this seems to be where mall goers come to eat, and for good reason. It's a warm, pleasant, large, rocking place. Nice draft beer selection, including a solid house amber. Blue cheese martini is strong and dirty, yup. Great rolls to start, though on our second night a less interested wait person skipped them on our table. Sad. I did the wild rice chowder, interesting and different, and I don't think I'd regularly order, but was glad I tried. Wife had the daily soup, a white chili, and loved it. The pan fried walleye is a hearty meal, especially accompanied by delightful chunky mashed taters. Very glad I had the opportunity to try walleye while visiting the area. Second dinner, we started with the spinach artichoke dip. The dip I could take or leave, it's fine I suppose, but the slices of garlic toast were sent by angels, truly delicious. I'd have a heap of those crunchy flavorful slices for a meal anytime. Not quite as hungry after devouring the appetizer, I did the wedge salad, a classic version, and the shrimp cocktail, fine, though a bit tired. Wife got the salt and vinegar fries to share with our salads, ordered extra crispy, and indeed they were really crispy and wonderful. Next time we're at the mall, we'll be frequenting Twin Cities again for sure. It does make a huge difference who your server is, one night was wonderful, and another careless and sloppy, and not all the dishes are 5 star, but, as the crowds can attest, it's popular for a reason. read more

If you're at the Mall of America and need a solid spot to go to it is Twin City Grill. Tucked away in the North Garden on the first floor, right by Nordstrom. From the moment you walk in, Twin City Grill gives off classic vibes. I went with the classic Twin City dishes. A cup of wild rice corn chowder, the state fair cheese curds, and the beer-battered Walleye sandwich. The chowder was tasty, the cheese curds were crispy, but the rest of the meal? It kind of fell flat. The Walleye sandwich didn't impress, and overall, I felt like it didn't quite hit the mark. The service was alright--it wasn't terrible, but there's definitely room for improvement. With better service and a more consistent meal, this could have been better than average. read more

After being greeted and shown to our table by the host, an unsmiling, non-talkative slug with the personality of a dump truck, it was a great dining experience. Our server, Hope, was beyond amazing. She put on a masterclass of hospitality and genuine friendliness. She's also an admirer of nice watches, (wink). The beef stroganoff was the best we've experienced with the homemade noodles and succulent beef tips. The prime rib was equally impressive with an insanely flavorful outer crust and tender, buttery meat with each bite. The interior was like going through Narnia's closet. Leaving the noise and bustle of the Mall of America, into an atmosphere of warmth and aesthetics offering visual comfort that set the tone, not to mention the pleasant aroma of sumptuous food that hits you as soon as you cross the threshold. read more

Took my wife to one of her favorite restaurants for her bday. We've been coming here for years actually and for her birthday she could've gone anywhere she chose here. The customer service is ALWAYS on point. The setting reminds me of one of those old school places in NY that we love. We really come here for the spinach artichoke dip. If we bring our boys we have to place to two orders if it. IT'S THAT GOOD! The salt vinegar fries are always good and hot which I had with my cheeseburger. Wifey had the tuna melt which she enjoyed. Please come here and try the spinach and whatever else they have. This is a Twin Cities gem! read more

Three people behind the host stand ignored me for a full minute, despite the fact that I was the only person waiting. Had the French onion soup and the prime rib with asparagus. Both were just okay. Then my server ignored me, walking right past my table as I had been waiting to pay for several minutes. Ambuance gave it the second star. Nice place, especially considering it is in a mall. read more

Always a delight with friendly wait staff! It is noisy, so request the back room, but that doesn't detract from excellent food options. Had burgers and chicken sandwiches, all delish.

I was visiting for a wedding and one of the locals recommended us to Twin City Grill and I'm thankful they did. This place is located inside of the mall of America, but it's no mall food. Stepping inside, you forget you're in a mall and it feels like any nice steakhouse. The staff were all very nice and the food was so good. Prices are average, somewhat lower than what you pay for a good steak in most areas. If you look and my photos, I specifically ordered rare, so don't be turned away by that. Everything was cooked to perfection. 100% recommend. read more

The food deserves 5 stars the service is 3 or less stars as it was not up to standards. The host was great and seated us promptly. The waitress came over and brought us 4 potatoe rolls for a table of six. We also did not have enough silverware or bread plates at the table. She forgot one of our dinners soda. They ordered 2 of the same and only brought one and the other arrived 15 minutes later. It was embarrassing to ask for things that we shouldn't have had to. read more

Love that they still have the Tucci original baked lasagna. Great touch considering tucci has been closed for awhile

Love TC Grill - it's a great place to stwp away from the hustle and bustle of MOA and relax at the bar, have a date meal or bring kids for a bite to eat. The food is always outstanding, service - consistently great, and drinks are generous with a great top shelf selection. The way we dine at TC Grill is - when our teens need a break from the rides shopping, we tell them to get us a table, and order what they want. We then leisurely make it to the restaurant, by then kids are already eating. We take time ordering, and by the time our food arrives, kids are done and take of to have more MoA fun. We then enjoy our dinner in peace and quiet, and settle the bill. Best tradition ever! :) read more

We had dinner at Twin City Grill and would say that service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxing. I had a BBQ chicken salad that was a special and enjoyed it. My partner had the walleye fish coated with almonds and he really didn't like it - the texture of the fish and the almond coating. The fries were very tasty as were the mashed potatoes. Our meal came to over $80 without an appetizer or cocktails - so it is on the pricey side. read more

We visited for lunch on a Thursday. The pub-style dark woods and mood lighting make this place feel like a refuge from the bustle and glare of the outer wall. Service was fantastic. I enjoyed a cider from Sweetland Orchard while my husband had a Twin City Amber. The cheese curds were delicious, perfectly hot with a nice cheese pull, and served in a fun cup. I had one of the current specials, the asparagus and goat cheese flat bread, while my husband had the fish fry. Everything was delicious. This was a restaurant I'd gladly visit again! read more

One of the better restaurants in MOA, in my opinion, although, there don't seem to be too many sit-down restaurants left. On my last visit, I was surprised to see that they took over some of the previous menu items from Tucci Bennuch, so I got the baked spaghetti. I just love it - classic comfort food. I also like that you can get vinegar fries here. The space is larger than it would seem in the outside and service is fast and friendly. read more

We mostly had a good experience, but a couple of smaller things happened that made it a little less enjoyable. We are from Chicago so we are used to going to lettuce entertain you restaurants so I was excited to see there was one in the mall. I'll start with the good parts of our dinner. Our waiter was so kind and we really liked all of the food, it was alot of Midwest classics. I had a tuna melt and my husband had the smokehouse chicken sandwich and they were both great. The only weird things that happened were that I had requested a highchair on my reservation but when we got there, the host said there weren't any tables available that could fit a highchair so we had to use a booster. But then when we got seated, another staff person found us a table for the highchair. It just was weird that I requested it previously and they didn't try to accommodate it. And then, when we got our food, the server bringing it (not our main waiter), knocked the bbq sauce off of the plate and it spilled all over the floor. He just walked alway and never came back with another sauce, someone else cleaned it up but it was strange. Those two things just turned me off a bit because I don't think those would happen in the Chicago lettuce restaurants. But overall we had fun and the food was good but the service could use a little help. read more
