I don’t even know where to begin. The waffles were outstanding. Perfect a little bit of crunch and the right amount of chew. The chicken was the star of the show though. Nice and crispy outside and juicy inside. The combo together with just a light syrup glaze made over the top was incredible. Hands down the best chicken and waffles I’ve ever had. And don’t let me forget to mention those braised green, so good make you wanna slap yourself….twice! Cooked perfectly and the seasoning was on point. I will definitely visit this restaurant again to try other menu items.
Let's first start that this was our first time dinning at the restaurant. When you walk in they was welcoming. When it came to ordering we asked for recommendations and he just said everything is good. Now the food was nothing to really brag about to be honest. Our waiter never came to check on us until our plates were taken away. For you to know this is our first experience you would think the service would be better. This was our first and last time coming here. I wouldn't recommend.
We were visiting MSP for the week and wanted to find a good bourbon bar in the twin cities. Reviews and photos looked decent, so we decided to give it a try. The bourbon selection is great and they have really reasonably priced pours, but that is all you can expect from coming here. We ordered wings, jambalaya and brisket and the wings were pretty bland. The chicken itself wasn’t seasoned and it was as if the cook just dumped the dry rub spice and deep fried it. The presentation and taste of the jambalaya was also odd. There were probably 2 cups of rice, topped with this thick sauce (tasted like a pasta sauce), two pieces of prawns and a VERY over cooked chicken thigh. Both the jambalaya and brisket came out lukewarm best, which was interesting because the corn that came with the brisket was scalding hot. When we told the server that the food was cold, she offered to replace the meals, but no one came out to apologize. Another thing I found interesting was that our side plates, empty cans and our appetizer plate was never cleared when our entrees came out. It also wasn’t because they were understaffed. I saw multiple people just hanging out at the bar waiting for people to come in. Overall I am giving this review 3 stars because if it wasn’t for the whiskey prices, it was a very disappointing experience and we will certainly not be back again.
We came here for our anniversary and had a great time. We ordered several things but the chicken and waffles will change your life. Tyler was an awesome waiter and we hope to be back again soon.
First timer!!! Been wanting to check this place out for awhile! It was my turn planning our quarterly leader outing and I chose the patio at Handsome Hog. Great choice! It was a hot summer June day in MN but our server made us comfortable and the bartender's special kept us cool and smiling! We ate EVERYTHING. I suggest getting there early enough to sample the Happy Hour menu which goes until 5pm then switches to the dinner menu. The brisket and chicken salad sandwiches hit the spot. We also tried the Cubano and Poutine both of which were delicious. For dinner we had a mix meals and sides but definitely get the Mac n Cheese with Hot Cheetos, Cucumber Salad and Corn Bread Muffins. If you're a Ceasar Salad fan GET IT. The half is huge btw. I plan to come back and try more. It was a great vibe, wonderful service and beautiful patio! A successful outing. I'll be back with non-work friends next time!
