Minnesota's Restaurant and Tavern

It was gr8 good food

Minnesota's hosted a baby shower for us this past weekend. They couldn't have been nicer or worked harder to please us. Everything was perfect. Jay the catering manager is a sweetheart.
Food was great and service was excellent.

Highly recommend for a party of any sort!!!

I went here with my cousin,I was here about 2hrs having a good time for what it was and so I went to the bar in the back on the left when I bought 3 drinks,the bar back quickly threw a box on the counter knocking over all 3drinks spilling it on me,it was really loud music in there,so I was trying to let him know he did that,he started to yell and curse at me,I looked to my right and a bouncer 3times my size grabs me and shoves me out the side door and push me into greasey water,I called the cops and asked them to look at the cameras,the bouncers said they didn't work.what a suprise!!! Needless to say the bar back likes to talk his trash cause he thinks he's safe cause of the bouncers, the bar tender is a b+%$h,and the bouncers think they have the authority a cop has,and the cops back them up just cause they assume if your in there your drinking. And then they have an elaborate camera system that doesnt work! Amazing!!!!!Record on your phone when ever your out people!!!!!this place sucks!a lot of kids here too.

Apparently, the owners of this establshment disliked my review so much that they actually wrote and complained to have it removed!! So, I will try to include as much as I can from my experiences there without having to hear the owners of Minnesotas cry that they didn't like it!!
In a word, this place is disgusting!! The food is nasty...greesy, flavorless, and just down right gross...wouldn't feed it to my dog!! The bar always smells like stale beer and smoke...although since they they got trashed from the hurricane and rebuilt, perhaps they actually washed it down!!
As fas as the atmosphere...they crank the music so unbelievably loud, you can't hear anybody! Found out from a study why they do this...you drink more when you can't talk to, or hear people! Out of all the bars in long Beach, they are 1 of 2 places that charge a 10$ cover even when there's no band!
The staff are arrogant and obnoxious! They still allow people to smoke in there even though it's been banned in bars for years! They turn a blind eye to it. When I asked the bouncer to ask the smokers to go outside, he said, "the owner said not to stop people and that they only receive a slap on the wrist", so he couldn't or wouldn't do anything! Many other bars and restaurants to choose from in Long Beach...I would HIGHLY suggest going elsewhere!!

********** This is the email response I received from the management at Minnesota's

Dave,

We are happy to hear criticism, Dave, but your review just left us feeling frustrated. You insulted our business, instead of offering us room to improve. You insulted our staff as well. After all we've been through with Sandy, we're a family, and take feedback seriously but this is not feedback, you have an agenda, a grudge, clearly.

So when you are calling our establishment "Disgusting" and our staff "Arrogant and "Obnoxious" you are insulting every one of our customers and the town.

Dave, In short, your an angry, bitter man.......scratch that, your not a man, men don't post cowardly garbage like this.

By the way your review has been passed around at Minnesota's and has become quite the hit, so thank you.

So you keep being angry at the world, and we'll keep doing everything we can to make our guests happy and coming back for more.

Cheers, and don't forget to like us on facebook.

Sincerely,

Managemet

Sadly, if they had stuck with the first paragraph, and asked me to give them another chance, maybe I would have! Instead, they throw nasty insults to a customer that critiques their establishment! Gives you more insight into this disgusting establishment and the brilliant employees and owner/s!

Do not go here for Mussels Monday. The mussels are the worst quality I have ever tried. If you want good mussels, go to Beach House.
