Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Linden Hills

Every employee there is so energetic and engaged. You couldn’t help but feel extremely welcomed. I’d say that was just the Holiday spilling over, but that’s always the way it is at Smack Shack when I’ve been there in the past. Our server was completely attentive, even when we threw him a couple of ‘audibles’. Even the big guy bringing the food out was outstanding. Great team! And then there is the food. Without hesitation, I would say second to none!!!

The noise level was terrible. We had to change tables due to the noise level. One if our group had noise sensitivity issues. The staff was accommodating and found us a less noisy table.

Went here for the first time with our adult daughter and her 3year old after a kids’ play at the theater across the street. It was busy but not packed. Waitress was great, told us it was busy for her and that she would try to give us the best service she could. We appreciated that information from her. The menu selection was good for our preferences. They were out of chicken fingers, but we got a cheeseburger instead for the three year-old All the food was high-quality with good flavors. My husband, especially like the sauce on his hamburger. I appreciated that the noise level was quite reasonable for a restaurant with a bar in the middle of it. The TV is in the bar area were not obnoxiously in our face, which we appreciated. Overall we give it high marks and we would return.

With a name like The Newsroom, I was not expecting a sports bar atmosphere. I was expecting it to be themed like a Newsroom. Server, Jake, was great. The brie bites were wonderful. And we made it to the theater on time.

Great service was the theme - Noah was our server and he was wonderful. Attentive, funny and knowledgeable about options. Food was great (as were drinks) - appetizers and dinner. It's been a while since we were there - we'll be back. (Again - Noah made the evening.)
