Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub

"This place has great food. I usually get the BBQ chicken bowl, but went for the Mushroom Bliss Burger this time around and it did not disappoint. The fish and chips are another go to and the Reuben of course. The Hushpuppies are the best in MN, I'll argue. And those chicken wings are delightful. The Sweet & Spicy Wings are not to be taken lightly, they are a good heat and will make you pause to sip your drink or eat some fries. Not to be missed though, because they're perfection. The sides are generously portioned with heaps of salad or fries on the side. I've just gotten an appetizer and split the side from someone else's meal before and sometimes that's the way to go. But those fries are so good that you might not want to share lol!Also good are the Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich, the Fried Chicken Sandwich and The Northbound Burger. The patio here is one of the best in the area too, so if you're going when the weather's nice, go early to get a table. They also brew their own beers and have cocktails and mocktails. The N/A mocktails are always spot on. Love the recent blueberry one. Simply delicious."

"The food here is fabulous! Everything my family and I ordered was great! We ordered the bean dip for an app, typically something we wouldn’t go for, but the taste was surprising! It was slightly spicy, and had a great cumin taste. I got the Brew Day Burger, and I was very happy with this decision. The quality of the beef was stellar, and the bbq sauce was a great pairing with it. The bbq sauce was not very sweet, it’s more on the smokey side(which is a pro for me). The side salad was a huge portion, and it had a great vinaigrette drizzle. I also got the beer cheese soup, and it’s the best i’ve had. My family got the reuben and the build-your-own-bowl. We were all very impressed, I highly recommend."

"Found this place on a whim. We were very satisfied with the food, cocktails and some of the beers. The chicken wing app with jerk rub and apricot chipotle sauce on the side was dang good! We go here regularly now for food and happy hour. Love their grain bowls! Super good poutine and chicken sandwiches too. Staff is great!"

"Came here yesterday for lunch and the food was excellent! The waiter was very helpful and friendly. For appetizers we got the sweet and spicy wings which were really delicious ! For the main course my partner and I got the fish and chips and the bacon BBQ burger. The fish tasted extremely fresh and the size of the fish was a pretty decent size. The BBQ burger was extremely delicious as well. The beer selection was also pretty impressive. I got the Millions of Peaches and Them Apples. Great place and super affordable! I would definitely return."

"Came here during dinner time. They usually get busy around 6:30. There was outdoor and indoor seating. It was first come first serve no reservations. We ordered the beer cheese soup, poutine, and mushroom burger. Their food was very delicious and the staffs were amazing. If you come during their happy hour beers are $3.50 for “house beer.” I would recommend getting their salad for side item then their kettle chips. The salad and the dressing was good! For parking there were some street parking available but you may need to walk a block or two. Overall, delicious food and great selection of beers."
