Really nice establishment. Inside and outdoor seating was a welcome option since the venue is very loud. With multiple flat screen TVs. Music and patron chatter bring it up another notch . The outs seating was expansive and we got a table on the far end as it afforded intimacy. The staff was preoccupied, and we ended up getting our own menus and seating ourselves Our waitress Lilly was wonderfully polite and attentive. She offered good recommendations and made us feel welcome. We shared a salad and a pizza and it was a delicious meal. Highly recommend
The bartender Steph, "the bun", makes the best chocolate espresso martini! It's not always on the menu but ask nicely and she will make it. It has the right balance and is so yummy.
I’ve been a big fan of The Loop for several years, but our service Monday night from Hailey was so great I had to leave a review! We were on the patio on a warmer, busier day, and she didn’t miss a beat. Super personable, reminded us happy hour was ending so we ordered a couple extra drinks, and immediately fulfilled any requests we had. Thank you Hailey for making our visit even better!
The Loop in Minneapolis is a fantastic neighborhood sports bar near Wayzata Boulevard. It has a great walk-in vibe where you can relax, watch a game, and enjoy some really good food. The pizzas are the highlight — freshly baked right in front of you, loaded with fresh toppings, and available in both vegetarian and non-veg options. The beer selection is excellent too, always crisp and fresh. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, enjoy a lively game-day atmosphere, and have a great meal. Definitely one of our favorite places to unwind.
Looking for a spot after the Niko Moon concert that was still open and ww happen to find the Loop. What a great place . The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. Service started off great with the Security guy helping us out, noticed we wanted somewhere in the place that was quieter, and directed us where to go towards the back. Then Tiana was a great waitress as we took our time to order and checked in on us regularly, also suggested options to my wife's meal that she loved. Then the manager took his time to come back and chat with us about the concert for a bit, when it was quite busy. Over all a great place. The Staff was amazing.
Went there for the first time and I have to say it was such a wonderful experience! Food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were so nice and respectful. The best customer service I’ve received in a very long time from any restaurant. 100/10!!
Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted and promptly seated. The waitress was friendly and offered advice on appetizers and dishes. The buffalo chicken egg roll appetizer was delicious. Slightly spicy and extremely flavorful. The smash burger was very small and generally un-exciting. The beef noodle dish was also slightly spicy. The cookies and icecream was not impressive at all. The cookies seemed very greasy and the icecream was pretty average also. It was good but not memorable. The atmosphere was upscale sports bar vibe.
This place was so great!!! They have a tonnnn of vegetarian options and it was so refreshing to see! One of my friends had the Szechuan Cauliflower Tacos and loved them! He isnt a big fan of spicy stuff & said that these were the perfect level of sauce to taco ratio! I had the Alfredo and some Garlic fries! They were soooo good. Probably the best Alfredo I've had. It's listed as a side but is portioned like a main dish! Yum! The Garlic fries were also soooo tasty. Best seasoning ever. I made reservations for this place on a Friday night, but didn't even need them! There are sooo many options for seating and it's not super busy! -actually was pretty quiet and nice to relax and eat! Our server was so kind and helped us pick out what we wanted. She was very sweet and fast! I definitely will be coming back whenever I need a fancy place to munch at.
I just had to share my recent experience at the restaurant. I'll admit, after a previous visit, I had been a little concerned it might have lost some of its sparkle. But wow, I was absolutely blown away this time around! Seriously, from the moment we arrived, everything was just fantastic. The service was incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. The place was sparkling clean, which I always appreciate, and every dish that came out looked like a work of art. It's so clear that whoever is overseeing things truly champions excellence, because the quality across the board was outstanding. And the food, oh my goodness, the food! The Bang Bang Shrimp was cooked to perfection – wonderfully crispy and served with vibrant, fresh vegetables and tender butter lettuce. And those chicken wontons? They were a revelation, with that amazing balance of creamy chicken and cream cheese, topped off with a delightful drizzle of hot buffalo sauce. Pure genius! Honestly, it was a truly faultless dining experience from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for a better evening.
I visited this place with a small group, and we had a really enjoyable experience. It wasn’t crowded, so the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and took the time to clearly point out the vegetarian options on the menu. While there weren’t a lot of vegetarian choices, the ones we tried were delicious and we were happy with our meal. Overall, we had a great time here. If you’re in the area and looking for a nice spot for lunch or dinner, I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try.
