Twin City Grill

Our waiter was great, 5 stars for him ✨! But the taller/younger host up front was quite snooty and kind of rude to the other host and us. He was polite, but like in a he had to be nice attitude. It rubbed us the wrong way. I liked the atmosphere. My husband had the beef stroganoff and he said it's fantastic. I got the Coconut Shrimp, it was good, but not the best I've had. The fries were extremely bland without their salt and vinegar seasoning, I don't recommend. This place had a lot of people recommending it, but I feel like it was underwhelming.

I really enjoyed the salt and vinegar fries. They are something you don’t get everyday. Bread was very nice. And the Baja burger was pretty good. Service was smooth, and everything went well!

Best food we have had in a long time. Had the blue cheese crusted medallions with loaded mashed potatoes, perfectly cooked, well done, Baja burger, and smokehouse chicken, all amazing! Finished with the key lime pie, which finished the perfect meal.

Very good food and a well thought out design. The atmosphere is kind of a speakeasy vibe and done so very well. The food was very good and the price was reasonable. Our only complaint was that the waiters did not tell us about the specials, one of which my wife would have preferred over what she ordered. So make sure you ask for the specials if not told. I would definitely suggest/recommend this place.

Highly recommend! Service was great. My waitress was friendly, attentive and helpful Atmosphere was very nice! Food: delicious! Minnesota wild rice and corn chowder was great. Definitely recommend as an appetizer. Baked spaghetti was good. And banana cream pie was worth it.

We visited for lunch on a Thursday. The pub-style dark woods and mood lighting make this place feel like a refuge from the bustle and glare of the outer wall. Service was fantastic. I enjoyed a cider from Sweetland Orchard while my husband had a Twin City Amber. The cheese curds were delicious, perfectly hot with a nice cheese pull, and served in a fun cup. I had one of the current specials, the asparagus and goat cheese flat bread, while my husband had the fish fry. Everything was delicious. This was a restaurant I'd gladly visit again!

You wouldn’t expect such a nice restaurant inside the Mall of America, but the second you cross the threshold of the restaurant you are transported into a fine dining experience. Our waiter doubled as the bartender so service was a bit slower than I assume usual but he had great recommendations and the food was perfect! I ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. For a side I got the salt and vinegar fries, an innovation that I think every restaurant should have! Tasty and fun and I’m still thinking about the steak a WEEK later. Delish!

First time dining in here, we started with the cheese curds which were a 10/10. The New York strip was so good and cooked perfect, I really enjoyed the broth they serve with the steak. The mashed potatoes were super buttery & delicious and I also really liked the Mac & Cheese with bacon it could’ve just used a little bit more sauce. The service was good and quick. We would definitely return!

One of the better restaurants in MOA, in my opinion, although, there don't seem to be too many sit-down restaurants left. On my last visit, I was surprised to see that they took over some of the previous menu items from Tucci Bennuch, so I got the baked spaghetti. I just love it - classic comfort food. I also like that you can get vinegar fries here. The space is larger than it would seem in the outside and service is fast and friendly.

My wife and I have been going here for decades. Predominately in the past we would go to Tucci Benucch (Also owned and operated by Lettuce Entertainment You and in the MOA) for the Baked Spaghetti. When they closed in 2018 they wisely moved their signature dish to the Twin City Grill menu. Being vegetarian my wife was thrilled. It is always so smooth and creamy, was enough for 2 meals with leftovers and tasted as good the next day at home. Be careful on your timing though as they most often sell out. On this day (12/19/24) we were there for a late lunch at 2 pm. Excited that we'd get a fresh hot batch we both ordered the baked spaghetti. What we got was anything but. My first bite was dried out and stiff. I knew this was nothing like what we were usually served. I mentioned it to my wife and she agreed wondering if it was just her. I asked for a bite of hers since it was a center cut piece (she always requests this) thinking maybe it was because I got a corner piece (which was 1/2 the size of hers, my first red flag) but hers was the same. The server stopped by and asked how everything was tasting and we told her - this tastes like it's leftover from yesterday and was rebaked/warmed over and dried out, not even close to how usually rich and creamy. She said she would talk to the kitchen about it but we never heard back from her on that. While we told her it was still good (a bit of a stretch) if this were the first time having it I would never re-order it and maybe not even go back. It was no where near a $25 entree. Also, when they brought our bread with honey butter (yum!) there were only 2 pieces in the basket which seemed odd. While they were warm they too were not as fresh as usual. I think we'll give them another chance but it definitely won't be during lunch time with the hope we get fresh servings. If they blow it we'll be done with Twin City Grill. If management is reading this, had the food been what we expected we would have spent another $200 that day on gift cards but decided against it based on this experience.

This place is like a jump back to a time of elegance. It's both comfortable and beautiful. The food has been excellent each time I've eaten there, whether it's been a steak or a Walleye sandwich. And I begin every meal here with a bowl of Wild Rice soup. Finally, the service has always been impeccable. The high class wait staff has always been friendly and attentive. My only regret... is that living far away, I don't get there very often.

Love TC Grill - it's a great place to stwp away from the hustle and bustle of MOA and relax at the bar, have a date meal or bring kids for a bite to eat. The food is always outstanding, service - consistently great, and drinks are generous with a great top shelf selection. The way we dine at TC Grill is - when our teens need a break from the rides shopping, we tell them to get us a table, and order what they want. We then leisurely make it to the restaurant, by then kids are already eating. We take time ordering, and by the time our food arrives, kids are done and take of to have more MoA fun. We then enjoy our dinner in peace and quiet, and settle the bill. Best tradition ever! :)

We came here for dinner on a Friday night. I was shocked at how big the restaurant was. We were seated immediately even with it being prime dinner time. I ordered the walleye sandwich with a side of broccoli. The sandwich was REALLY good. The restaurant is very kid friendly too. Our server was nice, but I would say the overall service from her was slow. Other than that everything was good. They did have a nice dessert menu but we were too stuffed to try anything!

My son has been wanting to try Twin City Grill for ages since he wanted an "old time" restaurant. The decor did not disappoint but unfortunately the person who seated us did. It was a later Sunday afternoon and the restaurant looked pretty quiet. We waiting for a while with one family ahead of us. No host in site. After a while the host finally showed up and seated that family and it was our turn. The host asked how many of us, grabbed the menus, and saw the group behind us. She put our menus down and asked the group behind us how many people and proceeded to seat them without saying anything else to us. If it hadn't been for my kid wanting to eat here I would have left. Anyhow she seated them THEN said to WAIT again so she could find seating. She couldn't have asked whoever in the back, let us know, then seat the other party? I mean, I get that a smaller group is easier to seat but say something...don't just completely ignore the group after you've already addressed them! It was so rude. Mostly everything after that was okay. The waiter was nice enough. The food was decent - cheese curds, cheeseburgers, tuna melt, beef stroganoff, and chicken tenders. There was a large amount of staff that were not busy and just sat there and it was uncomfortable. I won't be going back since the host clearly didn't know how to host, the food was good but not wow, and I don't want people just standing around staring while my family eats. The 3 stars is for food and the waiter we had otherwise I would have given 2 stars.

The walleye is good (4/5), but it is pretty expensive for what it is. Others in my order got salads, which were ok (3/5), but overpriced. The service is good (4/5), and the interior of the restaurant is also nice (4/5).

I visit Minneapolis several times a year and we decided to give this place a try based on reviews and because we wanted something convenient to the airport. It's located in the Mall of America between Nordstrom's and Sears on the 1st floor. if you don't wish to walk for miles, it's possible to find a nearby parking place in the parking garage. They have the drinks and food menu w prices posted outside their door. They also have their drink menu w prices on a large blackboard inside on the upper wall next to the bar. We arrived and were seated immediately in a booth near the front door. I prefer an amber or dark beer being from Texas where the State Beer of Texas is "Shiner", made in Shiner, Texas. Yes, I recommend The Twin City Grill Amber. We decided to try the cheese fries, salt and vinegar french fries and the Walleye Sandwich as those food items were frequently reviewed and recommended on Yelp. I rarely have french fries and altho the Salt and Vinegar fries were well prepared and crispy on the outside, I expected more of a vinegar taste to contrast with the salt, so was somewhat disappointed. My rating would be a 3.5. If you are a french fry lover, I'm sure you would rate these higher. The cheese curds are made from White Cheddar Cheese and they have a nice, yet lite tempura like coating with a salty and melty inside. Ranch dressing served on side. This was a first for cheese curds and my rating on these would be a 5. Much better than fried mozarella sticks which I also very much enjoy. These would also be good w marinara. The Walleye Fish sandwich was served with lettuce and tomato and a side of garlic coleslaw or Salt and Vinegar Fries. Since we had fries, we ordered the garlic coleslaw which was nice but I prefer my own recipe to this. It came with a ranch style dill spread of some kind I believe. My rating on the colesalw...a 3.5 Walleye is one of my favorites and is difficult to find in Southern States so it was a must order. It was very litely breaded and deep fried, with a slightly smokey, white, tender meat. Quite good. My rating a 4.5. The BEST part of our visit here was our server. Her name is Pilar, She was outstanding and so much fun to visit with. She made the entire experience something we will always remember and enjoy. We will visit again and hope she is still there :-) Her rating is a 5!

This is my first time visiting The Twin City Grill and I am glad I took the recommendation from a family member to try it! Based on my craving for a sandwich, our server suggested I try the BLT. It ended up being probably one of the best BLT's I've ever had! I bacon was sweet and crispy and the bread was perfect (not soggy at all). The salt and vinegar fries were a great touch to round everything out. I found our server to be very personable and helpful. The restaurant itself was quiet and had a great overall feel. I would love to return someday and try their wild rice chowder!

I was meeting a friend on a casual Friday at the Mall of America. We've known each other for years and it's about time we hung out in person vs online. We decided beforehand that we'd have lunch here at the Twin City Grill at the Mall of America. I arrived here via uber around 10am and waited for my friend at the East entrance at the Starbucks. We ended up killing time walking the mall before heading to lunch @ Twin City Grill. We have a reservation, but basically we did not need it because there was plenty of room and we got seated immediately. We got a booth. Menu was kind of limited, but they had basically what those people were find at a restaurant that serves anything grilled or flame broiled. My friend and I spent about 45 minutes here from initially entering the restaurant to paying. The ambiance was cool and quite quiet being inside the Mall of America. It was nice to not hear the kids, or anyone screaming on the rides they had there. I believe I ordered their burger and my friend ordered a salad. They gave us complimentary bread sticks, which was good and delicious. The burger itself was quite good since I ordered it rare. Rare burgers are awesome and cooked just right. The fries they gave me was good and delicious. I opted for water this time around. Best to celebrate later, I guess. The overall experience here at the Twin City Grill at the Mall of America was quite nice and could be used for dates and such. For myself and my friend, it was a casual meal as friends who had known each other for years but never met in person. I ended up treating my friend since it was the right thing to do. I enjoyed the ambience. It was worth traveling to Minneapolis to meet up with my friend. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated with the decor that shapes the Twin Cities, the Mall of America, and the surrounding community it serves. The restaurant is self clean and very immaculate. The food was good and definitely would consider coming here if my travels in the future permit me to do so. Though the service was good and it was a nice choice for a Friday lunch in Minneapolis. I guess the Mall of America was a good meet up spot and, it proved to be good because I ended up picking up dinner elsewhere in the Mall so I did not have to look elsewhere later on that day. While the Mall of America does do familiar and the Twin City Grill does offer some comfort food pairings, you can't go wrong with what they offer. It's great for lunch and dinner while shopping at the Mall of America. Could be that hidden gem you want in the heart of Minneapolis. The Twin City Grill is located on the 1st level of the Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN. The mall itself is physically located at 1245 Mass Avenue, Minneapolis. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they do have plenty of parking garages and street parking where you can find it. During this visit to the Twin City Grill, I used Uber to and from the mall of America. Pretty sure that there is public transportation to and from the mall itself, but I felt that Uber or left was the fastest way to go for the most part, though, This visit to the Twin City Grill was very good and also very average as well. The food is great, but the service is typical and Franny as well. So, if you feel yourself shopping at the bottom of America here in Minneapolis, Minnesota you can check this place out. It may be the alternative to the food courts that are here. Plus you can get a pretty mean burger versus the other options. You can find at the food court here at the mall of America. I'm sure you can get alcohol here too. Must be over 21, of course. Too bad that I did not get any alcohol, but it was nice to gab with my friend that day. If you want different while still being at the Mall of America, consider Twin City Grill. The menu is limited and the prices are a little of a stickers shock but it is what it is. Welcome to 2024. 4.0 stars for the overall experience 3.0 stars for the price and limited menu. 4.0 stars for the service and food. 4.5 stars for the location and ambiance. Support local! B

I am a huge Mac and cheese enthusiast and I would say this was a must if you love Mac. The bacon was nice smoked maple. But the restaurant itself has a nice fancy cozy Minnesotan atmosphere. Buns were good

This is our "camp out" place when the teens have unlimited ride wristbands and we have a lot of time to spend. We love the space - like a Las Vegas super club. We usually sit at the bar and sip on wine, but this time we ordered lunch. They pay a lot of attention to their sauces and dressings, which as you know, makes or breaks simple foods. I don't normally love a salad, but their dressings are so light and tangy. The smokehouse chicken sandwich was also a hit with crispy onions, bacon, and a nice sauce. Service is usually really casual here and they make you feel unrushed and at ease.

One here for dinner with my husband and my daughter. Service was pretty good. I have the meatloaf and mashed potatoes and the meatloaf was a little bit tough to chew. The worst part of our meal was when my daughter found a long piece of hair in her chocolate yes cake dessert. We notified the waiter and he took the dessert off of our bill. Needless to say this is probably the last time we will be here

We have been coming to this restaurant for 20 years and usually come for lunch. Our last visit was so disappointing! They need to work on training and attention to detail. Server either didn't put in our request and then blamed it on the kitchen or food runner didn't read ticket. When food comes to the table wrong, it should be corrected quickly or mgt should acknowledge it and talk to guest. We love the chopped salad, but a couple of times they have subbed macaroni noodles in it, something a little more creative would be nice-felt like we were eating MN hotdish! Also the dressing had a lot of mayo in it, something we are not used to here. We still like the restaurant, just a disappointing visit.

The staff are super friendly, food is good with great portions. We ordered the fish fry entree and a wild rice chowder and it was enough for two people. They were kind enough to split the entree to two plates!

Server Coretta was awesome. Very on top of our table of 7! Excellent food, good vibes after we survived four hours at the Mall of America! Food always satisfying and cooked to perfection. We always eat here when we shop and have never been disappointed. Today we ate chicken, meat loaf, salmon, French onion soup, Caesar salad and Wedge salad. Don't know how, but we also managed Crème Brulee and Key Lime Pie!

I'm in town for work and coworkers wanted to check out the mall - and we've been obsessed with cheese curds and this place had them! So really easy decision for dinner. (Also there was a bet made and one coworker lost in saying that the mall wouldn't have anything that had cheese curds and as a result... we got free cheese curds on him hehe). We got there around 6pm on a Friday night and were seated in about 15 min with a group of 5. Service was fantastic - there have definitely been other restaurants we've been where they barely check in on us or check on us too often. Our server was observant and had perfect timing. For appetizers, we got 2 orders of the cheese curds based on yelp photographs. The cheese curds come in little cans(?) which make them look small, but there is still more than you would expect (they manage to pack it down). With a group of 5 though, 2 orders worked perfectly. Batter was perfectly salty and the side of ranch worked surprisingly well. I highly recommend! I got the walleye fish fry with a side of the salt n vinegar fries - basically, fish and chips. It also came with a side of coleslaw (tasty!). Fries were excellent but I almost wish that salt and vinegar flavor had been on the fish itself. Fish was well cooked. I also enjoyed the spicy Margarita (or two!) Coworkers enjoyed the Mediterranean salad and the desserts (key lime pie and apple pie). I was stuffed but I am taking their word for it!

What can I say but wow. From the moment I entered, I felt welcomed and taken care of. They provided me with complimentary tasty bread and butter, and my kind waiter answered all of my questions regarding what the most popular food items were. I ended up getting the boneless ribeye steak cooked medium rare and mashed potatoes. I ate every last bit of this lovely piece of meat. To top it all off, they gave a generous military discount which I appreciated and only made me tip even more and leave with a smile on my face.

We had our doubts, since it's inside a mall, but we LOVED our service and the excellent food at Twin City Grill! The portions were huge, and we definitely ordered too much food--our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs! I had a perfectly cooked medium bacon cheeseburger, side salad and asparagus--way too much food, but all of it perfectly cooked and amazing. We also shared loaded mashed potatoes and spinach artichoke dip, which was soooo good. We all definitely ate too much, but left feeling full and content!

We took food to go because we really wanted to try Wild rice soup here in Minnesota, we've heard it's a local dish and that wild rice is used often here. The wild rice soup was really good. It was a bit watery but not too watery and the flavors inside were so good that it didn't matter because each spoon full was flavor packed. Luckily you could still taste the cream sauce so it was right on the edge of too watery but still had enough consistency to make that texture transparent Since we got a to-go order we can't comment much about the service. But I can say that they allowed someone to answer the phone who doesn't know the menu or the restaurant policy, they were trying to tell us they couldn't take our to go order until we asked to speak to someone else. They were only 20 mins from closing so I give them a pass but they should still have someone answering till like 5-10 before closing I feel. The ambiance is nice but nothing particularly special. It's a pretty nice slightly above average looking place. The cheese curds we're kinda meh. They were salty, and the ranch sauce it came with was low quality and salty as well. Which is why I took a star off and gave them 4 stars. The curds are 2-3 star tasting while the soup was a solid 5.

Today we had lunch at the Twin City Grill. We had the French onion soup which was excellent and we had the pan seared walleye. That was also very good. If you are in the mall of America, the twin city grill is worth a visit.

Fried walleye and boneless ribeye were perfect! Potato rolls with cheddar butter was such an unexpectedly delicious combo. Martini was perfect, and shaken at the table. Just a delightful experience!

I was staying at the Radisson Blu and since this was right on the premises , I ended up coming here three days in a row . The quality of drinks is very inconsistent and I had the same drink three days in a row and it tasted different every single day . The food was below average for me . I ordered room service and also had dine-in and it was sub-par both times. In addition the prices are high and not worth it at all. Service is friendly but gets overbearing because the staff just kept pressuring us into ordering more. The ambience is nice and cozy but gets really noisy later in the evenings as more and more people come in .

‍ We went to the Mall of America. We were hungry & went to the Twin City Grill. The food was delicious. He had the fried Walleye with fries & coleslaw. I had the BLT sandwich with the same sides. The service was on point & kept our drinks(water & coke full). The restaurant was cute and relaxing. Lastly the dessert was fantastic. I am a chocolate lover but I had the banana cream pie. We will be back again.

The twin cities grill, located in the mall of America is a great spot for lunch! I ordered the famous baked spaghetti and loved it! It was a different way to eat spaghetti, but I would do it again! The service was great, except my table didn't get bread The restaurant doesn't feel like it's in a mall once you are inside, which is nice as MOA can be overwhelming at times. Would return!

A great place to hide from the aggressive mall-ness of the Mall of America, you feel cozy and taken care of in this little steakhouse. We had great service. The wine options were not stellar but the food portions were generous and tasty, the kids menu was everything a kid could want. Outrageously expensive but what are you gonna do?

Was there for lunch and ordered the St. Paul chopped salad. I wasn't asked what dressing I would like on the salad so assuming was served with the Italian vinaigrette. It was missing the blue cheese so had to ask the server for it. Even after adding the blue cheese crumbles, it was absolutely flavorless. Was there with 4 other people and everyone agreed that the food was just ok.

TCG is a long standing sit down restaurant at the Mall of America. A varied menu with a great wine selection and mostly Italian themed dishes. The aroma at the door could draw you in alone. We had impeccable service and received a bread basket in minutes followed by our drinks and then meals. Everyone seemed satisfied and on our way in some patrons were leaving and told us this is the best spot to wrap up the day. No one ever did that in my history.

Great food, great atmosphere. Perfect for family's. Not to expensive. We were here for a friends bday and the waiter must've over heard and brought him a scoop of ice cream. His name is Christian

I had a lovely lunch with a large group of 10 of us without a reservation on a busy Saturday. I loved the salmon and mashed potatoes. The cheese curds were a treat but definitely not something you want to eat too many of at once. I also sampled the ribs which were nicely charred. The service was quick and excellent. My kids enjoyed their kids meals as well, they had the burger and tenders with broccoli and mashed potatoes. Definitely a top notch experience for a mall restaurant! Located a couple steps from the Nickelodeon Universe.

A great place to take visitors to Minnesota to get a glimpse of local culture! My walleye sandwich was really good, with fresh-tasting coleslaw, acidic lemon, and tangy tartar sauce. The fries it came with weren't limp or tired and instead perfect amount of crisp. Loaded mac and cheese was really good too. Service was prompt and friendly. This place wasn't too busy on a Friday and we were seated immediately. Altogether we used this lunch as a great start to a great day at MOA.

We love Twin Cities Grill! It's our go-to when we're at the mall and to be honest, there have been many times it's THE reason we head to the Mall of America. We always love to get the chopped salad and baked spaghetti (it's Tucci Bennuch's recipe). It's a nice space, feels fairly quiet and it's easy to forget you're in the middle of the MOA. Good and attentive service. Had a bit of a hiccup with all of our food coming out at once this time, but it's not normally the case, so only reason it's not a 5 star.

We walked in on a quiet Wednesday evening. No one came to seat us for several minutes. The waitress who did finally seat us seemed annoyed by our presence. She got us glasses of water and asked if we were okay with just that for awhile. I ordered an Old Fashioned that was clearly a straight shot of bourbon with a piece of orange in it (undrinkable), and a cheeseburger and fries (inedible). My wife had a salad and a cocktail, which she also couldn't drink. The bill was over $70. I left most of the food and 2/3 of my drink and even the glass of water, which had a hair in it. We were never asked if things were okay. I rarely leave a negative comment about restaurants, but this was a bad experience.

I only come for tucci benucch's (RIP) baked spaghetti... but the sad reality is that it just doesn't taste as good as it did in the good old days. Big enough to split. Twin City Grill tends to be overrun by families, just generally not the vibe for me.

I took myself on a solo dinner date while doing some shopping at Mall of America. I had been wiped out with a cold for a few weeks and wanted an excuse to do something fun and treat myself. Twin City Grill was absolutely the right choice! I took a spot at the two top high top tables by the bar, the perfect people watching spot. I noticed that the server in the section was also the bartender, and the bar was busy - so it took a little bit to initially get my order taken but it was no issue for me as I was in no rush. Just something to note that if you sit in the bar area you may be at the mercy of how busy the bar is. I ordered the Ginned Up Cucumber martini which wasn't on the menu, but was on a menu board near the bar. (pro tip, check out that menu! Lots of extra drinks on there). The martini was delicious. The bartender shook it fresh at my table and it was light and fresh. I ordered the Baja Burger. Initially I was a little sticker shocked at the price but, hey, it's the Mall of America - things are gonna be a little pricier. It was WORTH IT. I will say it was absolutely messy, so kind of glad I was solo. But once I dug in, it was delicious. The crispy jalapenos are the perfect touch. It could do with a bun with a little more structure to it, but that's literally my only note. The salt and vinegar fries are AMAZING. if you're going to complain that they're salty, don't order them. They're salty. But I like salty so it was the perfect combo. Also 'dont sleep' on the coleslaw (I think that's what they say nowadays?). I almost didn't even try it, but it was honestly some of the best slaw I've ever had. No joke. In sum, if you've ever walked by this place while shopping and have been enticed by the amazing aroma ... Listen to your nose next time. It was great!

Was in town for the first time visiting the mall and wanted to try something local that offered delicious comfort food - steak and potatoes vibe. This fit the bill. I read the menu before going and found lots of delicious options. We tried the beef stroganoff and meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Simple foods that remind you of home cooking. We were served a basket of fresh bread rolls with a whipped cheddar butter, really excellent and a nice surprise. I was expecting normal salted butter or perhaps sweet honey butter like at Texas Roadhouse since the bread rolls looks similar, but this cheddar butter had the perfect thang, almost like cream cheese. Our main meals were delicious, portion was generous, pretty much what we had hoped for. The only thing that could have been better with my meatloaf and potatoes was having an additional side included. Some type of veggie would have balanced the dish well. Taking a star away for the overall look and feel of the restaurant - it is very dimly lit, kind of drab, feels like a classic bar or tavern reserved for an older clientele. Personally not my preference in terms of decor. The rest of the mall and many other restaurants are more modern, fun and family friendly, although I loved the foor and service, once I got out of the restaurant I felt relieved to see some daylight. I wouldn't consider this restaurant if you want a good ambiance, but if you are looking for delicious homey meals and don't care for the looks, you will still away satisfied.

Wife and I were excited after reading several Yelp reviews but felt a bit disappointed after our dinner visit here this afternoon . We tried a BBQ chicken flatbread which was very tasty but not at all served hot, barely warm , even cold in the middle. We shared the Walleye which everyone on Yelp raved about and found the fish excellent but we were both none too excited about the sides.. We believe that the prices were hefty for the portions served and perhaps will return for another visit in the future and try something different.

We walked in and sat at the bar area . We wanted a Bloody Mary , and something to eat . We sat there for probably 10 minutes as the bartender looked o we at us several times and said nothing . Seriously? Just stared at us a few times . We are both looking at each other and then at the idiot that gave us this blank stare . All he was doing was filling us water glasses it appeared . There was no one else around. Now I know why . We left and no one said anything . You guys need a new bartender.

I was looking forward to my first dinner at twin city grill since I am a member of their LEY rewards program and this restaurant is only located in Minneapolis. A good chunk of their menu is pretty much what you get from wildfire's menu. As such, I knew exactly what to expect when I ordered their ceasar salad and french onion soup - both were spot on! I was a bit surprised when I received my tuna melt sandwich - their cook placed the cheese over the tomato instead of the grilled tuna salad mix lol. For all you tuna melt lovers out there, I know you are just as appalled. If that mistake had not taken place, this meal would have been a five-star experience. I sat at the bar and service by the bartender was a-OK. He was very attentive throughout, just not the most friendly servers I had at LEY restaurants. He made a killer manhattan with a generous portion of bourbon and I tipped him nicely. I will be returning to twin city grill anytime I return to the twin cities.

Between 4 and 5 stars so I rounded up. Service was good. Very friendly staff. The walleye fish fry was very good. The Twin City chop salad also very tasty as was the grilled pesto chicken sandwich. All the food tasted very fresh. The salt and vinegar french fries were also very popular. Next time I will plan on having only dessert, All looked amazing. The restaurant atmosphere was very inviting and cozy with nice comfortable booths. Definitely going back soon...for dessert.

I almost chocked to death on their chicken parmesan. The breading is just too dry/thick. As with most restaurants at the mall, they are over priced. Otherwise a decent restaurant that has been around since the Mall of America opened. I eat there about once a decade. That's what they deserve.

I had an amazing business dinner here while visiting the Mall of America for the first time. The restaurant is beautiful, dark wood and pictures of local places. It has an upbeat vibe and we relaxed with a cocktail before our food came. Our server was friendly and professional. My coworker said we had to have the State Fair Cheese Curds which were so good. The best cheese curds I have ever had, crisp and gooey goodness. I had the Northern Lakes Fresh Walleye Fish Fry. First time having Walleye and enjoyed every bit of it. It came with Crinkle Cut Fried and Cole Slaw. I really enjoyed the meal and the ambiance.

So I ate at a few different restaurants in the Mall of America during my trip to Minnesota, and this place was by far the best. It was the considered the best in the places I looked up before my trip, and I can confirm, you must come here. The whole vibe is old school 50's diner/regular restaurant. I can't explain it. But it's nice; comforting. Anywho, I got seated by my super nice wait staff and took to ordering. I got the Northern Lakes Fresh Walleye Fish Fry (our specialty; tartar sauce, garlic coleslaw). It was very, very good. I will say this: some of you will think that there is too much breading on this, and you are correct. But I didn't mind. I use enough tartar sauce and ketchup to make it a-ok. There were a couple of pieces of fish that I de-breaded to check out the quality of the fish itself. According to my server, this is like a dish that can only be done right in Minnesota. It's a beautiful white fish, flakey kind of like salmon is. I enjoyed it. You will, too. I also got to sample the Tuna Melt (house-made tuna salad, grilled with cheddar cheese). This was so, so good. Large hunks of tuna in the salad mixture. Super moist, but the whole thing holds together, so you won't have salad falling off your sandwich with every bite. Totally holds up. The cheese is an interesting choice, I assume it's a Minnesota thing, but it wasn't bad. Overall, I feel like I didn't type out a five star experience here, but I was to make it clear that it was one. I loved everything about it. I think you will, too.

Never disappoints! We tried different entrees than our usual last night. I tried the half rack of baby back ribs with slaw and mashed potatoes. The ribs were tender and the sauce was slightly caramelized. So delicious! The potatoes were classic and creamy. So good. My husband had a cheeseburger with slaw and fries. He said it was excellent. The service was superb. The management must be spot on for all of this to fall into place so beautifully!

This hidden gem in the mall of America is delicious and reasonably priced compared to the other brand name restaurants. We actually came twice one for drinks and I ordered the blood orange margarita which is now my favorite drink. So refreshing and so good The second visit we decided to eat. I ordered their fried walleye with salt and pepper fries and garlic yes garlic coleslaw. So amazing the fish is crispy and cooked perfectly. The coleslaw mind blowing so different and yummy. My sister got the French onion soup and wedge salad and she was quite happy Make sure you stop here

Fancy place with good service. We shared a steak salad and burger and they put everything on separate plates for us. The steak was amazing, the burger was fine. Art deco bathroom was cool...

This is my respite from MOA craziness, always puts me at ease. My 10yo thinks the desert presentation is "five stars" too!

We went to Twin City Grill while we were at Mall of America. To start off with, they bring out gluten free bread along with the regular bread. They have a separate gluten free menu and a lot of items can be gluten free. When I asked for a gluten free menu they asked if I had any additional allergies which was really nice. I got the side Mediterranean Salad and side of loaded mashed potatoes. The salad was very good and I wish I would've just had mashed potatoes. The loaded mashed potatoes had a lot of bacon and cheese that I didn't need. The price for the mashed potatoes was 6.95 and the salad was 8.95. The environment was a little loud and had Italian restaurant vibes. I thought the price was good and would come back and try other dishes!

Simply outstanding! Two years ago it was poor. Complete turnaround in service, food taste, presentation. Thank you Team for making our 90 minutes so awesome!!!!
