Tender Lovin Chix

Wished we lived closer, instantly in love. The habanero wings were actually spicy 🥵 and we loved them! Just a nice chill place to grab some good food and a drink for a reasonable price (it was $40 plus for each of us because we ate and drank A LOT, but prices here are competitive and drinks are super affordable for Minneapolis). Service was great, will be back.

What a great place! Open and airy vibe with vibrant colors. Chicken is delicious and moist on the inside, very crispy breading on the outside. Fries are amazing. Yum Yum sauce is delicious.

The food truck is great so I needed to check out the restaurant with the expanded menu. I ordered the Rush Hour 4, Chicken and Waffles, and chicken pot stickers. Rush Hour 4 always hits with amazing fried rice, huge and crispy chicken tenders, and yum yum sauce. The chicken and waffles dish was unique because I had teriyaki chicken wings with it. Teriyaki sauce and maple syrup is an odd pairing that works for me. The waffle was good, soft and fluffy. Pot stickers were good too. Friendly service, free parking in the back, and plenty of TV screens all add to the experience at Tender Lovin Chix! I need to work my way through the rest of the menu.

I watched an ad on TikTok of another foodie and I was impressed and decided I had to try this place for myself. I’m so glad I did. I believe the hype. It was wonderful from the moment I stepped in and the lovely lady behind the bar told us to sit anywhere to the moment she bought out the appetizers drinks and main entrées. The place was well lit beautiful for photos and so easy-going with amazing food. I truly enjoyed my experience and I will be back.

Visiting from out of town and found this place while looking for nearby dinner options. Arrived right at the end of happy hour and were able to enjoy 2-4-1 drinks. The chicken strips were excellent with a crispy exterior and juicy inside. The fried rice was freshly made and delicious. Attentive and friendly waitstaff. Would definitely return when visiting again.

We had the Chicken Sammie + Fried Rice, plus the snack size Tendies + Fries. Food came out quick and service was good. Chicken Tendies were huge, juicy, and fried perfectly. The coleslaw was vibrant yet not overpowering. The Fried Rice was done quite classically, and very tasty. The fries were crunchy but fluffy on the inside. None of the food disappointed and prices were reasonable ($16/person for a full meal). Would highly recommend you give it a try, and will definitely be coming back.

This establishment although new, very good and we are so happy we tried it. The wait and kitchen staff are very friendly. The portions were great and everything was fresh and delicious. The chicken and was fresh and definitely not dry. They have the good fries, iykyk. We will be returning for sure.

A1 service all across the board. From vibes to food .. you can’t go wrong. The chicken + waffles 🔥 the sammie 🔥 the rice 🔥 the birria tacos 🔥 Plus the owner is the best!! Don’t miss stopping by for a night cap or dining to go! Won’t regret it!

This place is way better than you think. Black owned business in uptown. The food, service, and drinks are all high quality and very good! Go check them out soon

Hey Travoodies Hey ... I tried it! I have been hearing about this place for some time, and recently I ventured to check them out. I honestly can say that the fried rice was yum. Like covered with some yum sauce (that's homemade), and cooked perfectly. Nothing against this spot because I absolutely loved the vibe and the bartender was super friendly and made a delightful drink. The red aura of the space ; red being my favorite color easily attracted me to the space and the excitement from the staff made me interested in sharing from the menu. For Me... I think I'm just not a panko crusted type of girlie. However I would go back and order the fried rice. The drink was a hit with me I forgot the name but it was on their Christmas list. I can definitely see going back for drinks and the catch the games.

They did their thing with this one. The wings were awesome, the chicken sandwich was too! And the f'n Beef Bulgogi Bowl, SMACKS!!! Game day specials on beer $20 for a 5 beer bucket. And $4 shots! You're missing out if you don't check it out !! Bartender was super attentive and they were playing the game WITH the sound. There's not a better spot in uptown for a casual night out.

When we visited for the first time Tricks made a good first impression, we visited Sunday night so it wasn't busy. The chicken potstickers were good, and so were the onion rings. I really enjoyed the Lyndale mule. However I did not like the birria tacos, maybe I'll try the rush hour next time. The seating was a bit uncomfortable for me personally and the TV was loud and it was hard to have a conversation. Parking lot available behind the building, there is also free street and paid parking as well.

Everything tasted under seasoned, but most of chicken was cooked well. I did enjoy the breading. Sauces were underwhelming. Nice open space. Slow service even though it was empty.

One visit review Back and forth tween three and four Price gouging, so three Been anxiously waiting for this place to open. Took over the space of my favorite local beer bar. The beer selection pales in comparison, obvi. Four basic beers on tap pales in comparison to their predecessor. The food was really good. Got the Rush Hour 4 which is described on the menu as Tendies, TLC yum sauce, Tokyo fried rice. Tendies were great! Nice, light, crisp breading. Felt like I got up charged though. Before I ordered, saw what a guy next to me got as that is what I wanted. Asked if it was the chicken fried rice. She said no, it was the Rush Hour 4. Looked at the menu. $17. Done deal, give me what he's having. Bill came. Add on charge of $6 for chicken fried rice. Maybe a failure to communicate on both of our parts, but an extra $6 for chicken in your fried rice?! It is only two dollars extra for chicken in your Tokyo fried rice on the menu. I should have protested more than I did before I rolled over on the deal. Shady, shady as all hell. My return is possible, but somewhat iffy.

We finally had time to check this new restaurant out in south Minneapolis. We came during the weekdays knowing that street parking would be hard to find. Luckily we found a spot down the street. Mix fusion between asian and American. My friend has been craving onion rings and had to order it. I ordered the salt and pepper wings, the jalapeños were there as dressing, however it wasn't spicy. There was 1 server that worked the bar and tables. I was impressed how attentive she was to every table until someone in the back came out to help her. Big dining area with mostly high tops. I had wished the chairs had a backrest to lean on, but the lower tables had some. My friend likes the fusion, I'm more on the authentic side.

Teething problems?? Ordered the wings, which I was told were the full wings but when they came they were winglets and drumlets and they were cold. They took them back and game me hot wings. For the main meal my son and wife ordered the rush hr 4. Which was the highlight. The chicken tenders were crisp and there were 2 large tenders. The Tokyo rice and yum sauce is like the one you get at bennehana. All in all a good dish. I ordered the basil chicken. The proportion of chicken to rice was off and I had more than half my rice remaining. Also it was supposed to come with Asian slaw which they forgot to put on. They did give me some on the side when I reminded them. I think some teething problems which should get better with time.

Staff super friendly and attentive! Had the rush hour and wings. Both were really good. The chicken tenders were some of the best i have had. Very light and tender and sauce not needed. Good neighborhood vibe. Supporting local teams with great food and drinks. Seems like they really care which you don't always find. Need a signature dessert

I remember one day I saw this red food truck that was driving around north loop. I had the best lunch I've probably had, not just from a food truck, but probably ever. When I heard he was opening up a restaurant, I knew I had to check it out. Somehow... It got even better. The founder/owner crushed it. By the end of dinner we were ordering extra food just to take for leftovers. Vibe, service, quality... Dude didn't miss. Safe to say I'll be coming back.

This is an excellent chicken tenders place. The chicken is terrific. Also had some birria tacos tonight, very solid. Had a few beers and the staff is so friendly and the owner is circulating and having fun and keeping an eye on stuff, they are next level for service and doing what they do-- the chicken. (Onion rings also pretty darn good.) Try it for the first time and the staff and owner are going to make you feel like you've been a regular for a while.

Tried this food truck on a whim during aquatennial because they didn't have as much of a line and they were delicious! The chicken was so perfectly cooked and fried! The fried rice has a TON of butter so beware, but obviously very delicious. I can't wait to be on the lookout for this truck again

This is THE plade to be! Food was solid, atmosphere is great and love being able to watch the games here. The owner, Marques , is giving his heart and soul of this and you can tell he truly cares about everyone's experience.

Delicious. The breading on the chicken is light and crispy, not greasy at all and has great flavor. Yum yum sauce and Tokyo fried rice are also very tasty. Will definitely be back.

My favorite food truck in Minneapolis! I follow their Instagram to find their location. Very eager for them to open their first restaurant. Yum!

I had spoken with their Instagram rep 3 months prior to a work party asking them to attend. They had told me "They would love to", and I gave them every detail, including my phone number, asking them to let me know if I needed to do anything else. They then tell me the day before the event that they are short staffed and cannot attend the event. Abysmal customer service, blamed me for their lack of communication. Would not recommend.

10/10 recommended! Best tenders in mn. The rice and salad compliment the tenders! And did I mention the SAUCE

This business help out the homeless and also serve great food!!! Plz check them out if you're in the area
