Service is great. Food is good each and every time as are drinks. Usually good specials on food and prices are average regardless. It's easily accessible and always clean and warm inside. Good place to visit.

Every dish was spot--on and that's a rarity for northern restaurants attempting to do southern food, We started with fried okra. Folks, there is a lot of bad attempts at fried okra and this was perfect and the portion was huge. We also had a crawfish tails and they were equally delicious and, again, a huge portion. The gumbo was nice and spicy-the way it should be. My son had a muffaleta and it was delicious served on high quality bread, Very good live music, think Johnny Cash, was playing. If this place doesn't make it it won't be because of the quality of food but the ignorance of the clienelee.

Staff was friendly, food was great and restaurant was very clean. The custard was so good and had lots of goodies added to our flavor of the day. Highly recommend this as a stop for quality food.

We went here at 5 PM on a Saturday and the place was packed! It was difficult to find parking, let alone a place to sit down! Itâs open concept with large first-come-first-sit 6-person tables. Our party of 4 joined another party of 2. There were people holding their food with no place to sit. The food is delicious!

Coon Rapids/Blaine needs more hole in the wall places. Wing Joint certainly qualifies. There are so many chains in both cities. I love Wing Joints fried shrimp, wings, fries, and toast combo. My wife cringes when I order this because she worries about my cholesterol; however, I need my grease fix once in a while. Order the malt too, it is a nice treat. The wings are dry rub fried and not made with sauce. They are good for a change. They have a full selection of great fried foods so this is not for the faint of heart.

A 10:00am Sunday brunch date with friends found the restaurant super crowded with a wait for seating in the dining room. Making our way past the crowd at the door, we squeezed through the extremely closely placed tables to a postage stamp sized 4 top where our friends were waiting. Our server arrived fairly quickly and got our drink orders. Bloody Marys and a snit. We opted for NOT a Coors for the chasers and upon seeing the Finnegans tap handle requested one of those, instead. Oh, and BTW, it's a $1 upcharge for a shorter pour. Now, a good server would have, 1)known that a Bloody chaser is usually a lager/ale type of beer, 2) that the Finnegans on tap was actually their stout, and 3) informed us of of this situation. None of these conditions were met. Now we like a good stout, and even this particular stout, but that is not what we had expected as a Bloody Mary chaser. When we asked the server about it, she didn't know for sure what was poured, just that she had typed in "Finnegans". The Bloody Mary bar was awkwardly placed so that it interrupted service to tables around it as well as caused disruption at the front door. However, the variety of mixers was rather impressive, no fewer than 25, as well as a host of pickles, olives, cheese, etc. The shrimp was large but tasted as though it had been defrosted in a bucket of water because it lacked any flavor at all.The food came out in about the expected time frame. It was hot and well plated. The hashbrowns were golden and crispy (although the cheese was not melted for those that had it). The queso Benedict sounded like a good idea but the execution left me uninspired. The muffin was burnt to blackened on 1 part, the pico on top consisted of 6 tomato pieces and 4 red onion chunks (yes, I could count them) and I bit into the stem end of the avocado but the avocado itself was firm and fresh, the egg properly cooked and the queso was warm and creamy. All in all it wasn't a bad experience but there was nothing about it that will have us going back again.

Came here at late in the evening with a very large party. The staff handled the party very well. I didn't hear anyone complain about service except one person who it took a while to get his drink. Food was excellent and prices were very fair as well. If I'm ever back in this part of the country I'll definitely stop by again.

We stopped in for a late lunch at the start of happy hour. It was nice, sunny, Minnesota Spring day so we opted for the patio near the little water fall. It was like being in Southern California. I had the Ruben sandwich with a side salad. Excellent! Most restaurant side salads are uninspired. Mine was nicely constructed with a variety of veggies/lettuce, and lots of everything. The Ruben I had was nicely done, with more corned beef than you'd get at a Chicago deli. It came with waffle fries that were also very good. My wife had a "Make your own salad" that she said was very good. Our server, Samantha, was very professional. She knew the menu like she wrote it. She was attentive without being too much so. Great place for lunch on the patio,,, we'll be back!Thanks for taking a moment to review us! We are glad you could join us for late lunch and kudos to Samantha! We appreciate your business and look forward to that future visit!

We had the special of the day, chicken fried chicken and it was delicious. Nova Scotia rolls were exceptional. Desserts (almond coconut cake and heath chocolate cake) were the best. There will be a return visit as soon as possible. They were very busy but well staffed.
