Cedar Inn 4155 Cedar Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55407

"This place is so fun! It's a cozy little bar where you can pack in without feeling too cramped. There's always some sort of entertainment here: poker tournaments, live music, or just great people watching. The clientele truly is a mix of all types of people, old and young. They have menus in Spanish. It really feels like everyone is welcome. The staff is really nice and plays into the fun. After just a few visits, they started greeting me with my usual drink. As far as the food, they have a lot of classic bar fare, but the wings are the best! I've tried all the flavors and the lemon pepper dry rub are my favorite. If you can't find your own table, it's common to grab a seat at someone else's to eat your food. It's one of the only places in the area where the kitchen is open late- often till midnight. Thanks Cedar Inn!"

"These aren't just the best wings I've had in Minneapolis, or the state, or region, they just might be the best wings I've had anywhere. Full size actual chicken wings fully drenched in the sauce so a half order of 6 is really 12 traditional and the best price you'll find on that much too. On top of that they have their own version of the jucy lucy that was created down the street called the Cheezy Wheezy that is way bigger and more indulgent, AND the bar has 40s, but not liquor, classic. Say no more, that's a real dive, I'm in heaven. Always great friendly service and friendly locals, don't let the hipsters find out about this place. I came here on the customer appreciation day and they even had free beer and brats. If the classic 'death row final meal' conversation ever comes up these days I would probably say a half order of buffalo from Cedar Inn, it is my happy place. Really just might be the best bar food I've ever found and in a great unpretentious bar that would still be great without it. Can't recommend it enough but you better know what you're getting into. But if this is your speed you should recognize it's a gem."

"Usually I have my camera out ready to take lots of pics and videos. But this time I didn’t. OMG best wings in town is a F’n understatement. If you look at my other reviews I am pretty tough. I wasn’t expecting much but Cedar Inn really gets high praise. The wings were perfectly sized and made beautifully. We had the Buffalo and Sticky Asian flavors. Both amazing. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. My son was my wing partner and he was very happy!! A+ definitely coming back!"

"While the secret has always been known by those looking for exceptional dive-bar food, I’m glad to see this place reinvigorated as of late. Till this day (been coming here from the burbs since college in the 00s) this place has hands-down the best wings in the Cities — and possibly the entire Midwest. Even with all the new sauces, they just keep staying delicious (broasted chicken is amazing!). Pro-tip, get a pitcher of Highlife, and a side of fresh cut fries to go with your wings (which should include at least a few Asian Sticky, if you know what’s good for you) and you’ll leave with a big stomach and an even bigger smile on your face."

"OUTSTANDING! Wings were some of the BEST we have ever had, and we have had wings from all four corners of North America and beyond! Lucy our hostess/bartender was excellent! The mushrooms & tots were a great starter to our wing adventure!! We WILL return!!"
