Revival St. Louis Park

We had a great first experience here last night. The service, food, and ambiance compiled to be a near 5/5 experience (to me). We went on a Sunday night around 6:30pm and it was empty - perhaps this was due to it being St. Patrick's day, but there were probably only three or four other parties in the entire place. This was a major plus, as waiting for tables is one of my least favorite things to do. They were playing early 2000s music and the restaurant felt very clean. We started with the brussels sprouts and the cheese curds. The sprouts had a very unique flavor and were cooked perfectly. We believe the curds had a honey drizzle on them, which was also unique. The batter was nice and thin, which is what I prefer. One of us got the whole bird, one got the chicken dinner, one got chicken and waffles, and I got the Nashville hot tenders w/a side of mac and cheese. We each enjoyed our entrees and the Nashville hot had a good amount of spice. Our server let us try the 'poultrygeist' sauce, which is their spiciest rendition and it was extremely hot for those who enjoy a kick. It didn't taste very good, however. The mac and cheese was good, but some bits in each of ours had some unchewable bits.. not sure if it was the top layer of cheese or uncooked noodles. If there were half stars, I'd give the restaurant a 4.5. I would take away half a star due to the pricing (plus a 6-7% surcharge automatically built in), but the food itself is a 9+/10. We will be back!

A year ago or so I would have given this 4 stars, but they have really improved their whole game at this point. The food has always been good at revival, and they have improved the menu over the years, and it is really rocking now. The chicken is bar-none if you like spice probably go for the Tennessee hot, if you are a masochist take swag at the poultergeist 🙂 There is many other options though, the burger and the chicken sandwich are great options but the Cubano is the star of the sandwich party. Pretty all of the sides are great options and the cheese curds are some of the best in the Cities Limited brew menu but all quality, similarly a good cocktail menu not expensive but enough. Staff is good, polite respectful and helpful Bar seating and table seating. Family friendly

The fried chicken is delicious, the grits are creamy and the bourbon carrots are almost desert. The prices are expensive, the additional service fee is outrageous when tipping is expected. It might be the best chicken sandwich in minnesota but 100$ for 2 people for dinner with no alcohol is excessive. We also waited over an hour for our food. Entitled pigeons and patrons on the patio. Will most likely go elsewhere next time. The honey cheese curds are fantastic, the only thing that might tempt me back.

My daughter and I had after church lunch here. The atmosphere is warm and comfy. Our service was top notch. The dishes we ordered were good. We probably won't go again but we had a good time.

Revival is a MUST STOP for southern comfort food! It’s legit the BEST chicken! Definitely worth every single bite. Their Old Fashions and Blood Orange Margaritas are very tasty. Servers are really friendly too!

Came around 3 and wasn't too busy. Service is very friendly and attentive. Food: Chicken tenders was 4/5. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce is creamy. And the bread was toasted with butter. I would say the chicken could be improved with seasoning. It kinda tasted a but bland by itself. The toasted tasted great but it was slightly burnt. Hot fries was 3/5. It was crispy fries with seasoning, green onions, and blue cheese. I do like the spiciness and green onions which added to the flavor. The blue cheese balances the spiciness. The type of flavor of the spice wasn't my taste. Kinda has a bitter after taste. (This is just my opinion) Cheese curds was 4/5. The curds were crispy and chewy! It has a sweet coat and it's good by itself. It came with a blue cheese sauce but I couldn't really taste a big difference. The sauce could be a bit more stronger. Crispy cauliflower is 5/5. Like the curds crispy and soft. It came with the same sauce as the curds and I could use more flavor on the sauce. Seasoning on the cauliflower was yummy! Crispy chicken sandwich 4/5. The chicken is was great with the crispness and the spiciness. The oil on the chicken for flavoring could be more savory as it was just oil. This sandwich is more on the sweetside. Pickles could be more vinegary. The tomatoes were good and sweet. Added some ketchup and it complimented the sweetness of the sandwich. Mac and cheese is 4/5. The noodles were well cooked and the flavor of the cheese was delicious. It's on the soupy side of cheese. The choice of seasoning was great and the breaded top adds a crunch to it!

Went in on a whim and hungry during brunch on a Sunday. A quaint space with covered patio seating and bar. Ordered: brisket hash, poutine, and of course, the chicken sandwich - Tennessee hot. Overall, food was delightful. The brisket was a tad bit on the dry/overcooked side. But enjoyable with the eggs and hash. Poutine was one of my favorites. Sausage gravy and sunny side eggs with cheese curds and fries? What’s not to love. It’s no wonder the chicken sandwich is popular. It was super juicy and the condiments were a perfect match. The heat was just enough. I also got a MN Mule, and that was refreshing to have. I’d come back again for sure!

The food here is really delicious. Because I was in the mood for a vegetarian meal I ordered a bunch of vegetable side dishes. And everyone of them was amazing. From the collard greens, to the carrots, and the cheese grits. The staff were cheerful and helpful, and the outdoor seating was lovely on a late summer afternoon. This is not where you go to lose weight. This is where you go to get really tasty food and have a fun experience.
